Download or read book Rites of Passage in Postcolonial Women s Writing written by Pauline Dodgson-Katiyo and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings a variety of new approaches and contexts to modem and contemporary women's writing. Contributors include both new and well-established scholars from Europe, Australia, the USA , and the Caribbean. Their essays draw on, adapt, and challenge anthropological perspectives on rites of passage derived from the work of Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner. Collectively, the essays suggest that women's writing and women's experiences from diverse cultures go beyond any straightforward notion of a threefold structure of separation, transition, and incorporation. Some essays include discussion of traditional rites of passage such as birth, motherhood, marriage, death, and bereavement; others are interested in exploring less traditional, more fluid, and/or problematic rites such as abortion, living with HI V/AIDS, and coming into political consciousness. Contributors seek ways of linking writing on rites of passage to feminist, postcolonial, and psychoanalytic theories which foreground margins, borders, and the outsider. The three opening essays explore the work of the Zimbabwean writer Yvonne Vera, whose groundbreaking work explored taboo subjects such as infanticide and incest. A wide range of other essays focus on writers from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe. including Jean Rhys, Bharati Mukherjee, Arundhati Roy, Jean Arasanayagam, Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl, and Eva Sallis. Rites of Passage in Postcolonial Women's Writing will be of interest to scholars working in the fields of postcolonial and modern and contemporary women's writing, and to students on literature and women's studies courses who want to study women's writing from a cross-cultural perspective and from different theoretical positions. Pauline Dodgson-Katiyo is Head of Humanities at Sheffield Hallam University. Her research focus is on African literature (particularly Zimbabwean), contemporary women's writing, and postcolonial cinemas. Gina Wisker is Professor of Higher Education and Contemporary Literature at the University of Brighton, where she teaches literature, is the head of the centre for learning and teaching, and pursues her research interests in postcolonial women's writing.

Download or read book One Way Ticket written by Jonathan Vaughters and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new memoir tracing story of cycling since the 1980s, through the eyes of Jonathan Vaughters, founder of team Education First and one of the sport's most towering figures. Jonathan Vaughters' story is the story of modern cycling. From his early years as a keen cyclist in his hometown in Colorado to his unflinching rite of passage as a professional rider with US Postal to his elevation as one of cycling's most resilient, ethical and intelligent team bosses, the highs and lows of his career have mirrored those of the sport itself. Vaughters has had a front-row seat for most of the major events in cycling over the past three decades. He was both a former teammate of Lance and a leading witness against him. And he went on to renounce doping and start the first pro cycling team to dedicate itself to clean riding, which has grown into one of the most successful teams competing today and started a movement that has swept across the sport. This is also not simply a story of races won and lost: Vaughters shows readers how he navigated the complex, international business of building Slipstream into a world-class cycling team. Over the past decade, he has led the sport out of the scandal-plagued Armstrong era. By presenting the world with a team made of talented racers built around a rigorous approach to clean racing, he set a new standard within cycling that has since spread across the peloton. Written from the unique perspective of both a racer and a team manager, One-Way Ticket gives the complete story of what it takes to build a winning team and repair the reputation of a sport.

Download or read book THE ILLUSION OF FREE WILL written by JJ Briggs and published by the good little film company. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If, like me, you have been in a relationship with a narcissist (whether you have realised it or not) and come out the other side, you will likely have reached a point of registering that you are in a "no win situation" before being able to remove yourself for good. Unfortunately for me, by the time I came to this conclusion I had hit rock bottom. I was financially bankrupt and ended up leaving a hotel room in a foreign country that my wife and I were staying in, with nothing more than the clothes I had on, and barely enough money to get away with. By this point I was so desperate to escape that I left without my passport, even though I was in the middle of Bangkok, because she had been keeping it from me for many years. This being just one of the methods my wife used to stop me from leaving her. Understandably, people find it hard to fathom why I did not take off earlier and waited so long to finally go. The truth is that I tried to do just that many times during the course of our four-year relationship. And as anyone that has been in a similar situation can attest, it just isn't that simple. For one thing if you truly believe, as I did, that you are in love and have found your soul mate (for want of a better word) you will do almost anything to see the relationship succeed. But the fact is that even though you are in love with this person or perhaps because of it, you are still completely screwed. The narcissist will never change. I would even argue that they are incapable of doing so. They are simply too focused on their own needs and desires at any given time to be able to. The result is that you decide to be the one that changes and capitulates, because if you don't, then the relationship simply won't last. You reason that at some point you will have managed to morph into the person he or she proclaims to want. All the while the goal posts keep being moved further and further away, until the day one realises that no amount of changing or giving, will ever be enough to satisfy the narcissist. They will always want and need more. However this book is not a self-help book, or a how to guide. It simply tells a story that starts at the point of initial meeting with Eve the narcissist in question, and ends with an escape through the streets of Thailand. To anybody that has experienced a similar relationship many things will be very familiar, like the narcissists total lack of empathy, financial exploitation, violence, great sex and even love at times. Other things will probably be unfamiliar, like being involved in a so-called cult. Though through experience I have now come to suspect that all cult leaders must also be narcissists or perhaps some extreme narcissists also become cult leaders. Either way round they then use their natural charisma and power of persuasion over others to coral and cajole followers into not only doing their biding, but as minions they can use to control other people even further. If I had a single wish for this tale told in first person, it would be that beyond being an entertaining story, it could perhaps help someone in a similar situation recognise the signs of abuse sooner, rather than later. And that this story be a catalyst for an earlier removal from an ultimately futile relationship.
