Download or read book Red Dust Red Sky written by Paul S. Sunga and published by Coteau Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a young Southeast Asian girl's life with her eccentric blended family in Lesotho, and her search for the truth about her absent father, is a parable for the country's own quest for freedom and maturity.Red Dust, Red Sky is set in southern Africa during the time of official apartheid. A family originally from India lives in exile in the mountainous kingdom of Lesotho, a tiny country entirely surrounded by South Africa itself. The aftermath of the murder of a student activist at the hands of the South African police - betrayal, the struggle for redemption and years of life underground - is the basis for this powerful story. The language is beautiful, the plot riveting, the characters vivid, edgy and humorous, full of life and eccentric energy, sexual and otherwise. The story is told by Kokoanyana, a girl growing up in the small and closed belief system of rural Lesotho. She is obsessed with discovering the story of her lost father, but the many lies her mother tells her to avoid the potentially dangerous truth has sensitized Koko to the many lies and delusions of the adults around her. This is a world of concealed facts, obscure events, and phenomena only explicable in terms of the ancestors, Shiva, and the South African Defence Force. Kokoanyana's persistent pursuit gradually unearths pieces of the puzzle. But as the family's political history reveals itself, the soldiers advance.

Download or read book In Theaters Everywhere written by Brian Hannan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-12-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflicts among Hollywood studios and exhibitors have been going on for years. At their heart are questions about how films should be released--where, when and at what speed. Both sides of this disagreement are losers, with exhibitors using the law via various Consent Decrees and studios retaliating by tightly controlling output. In the Silent Era, movies were not released nearly as widely as they are now. This book tells the story of how the few became the many. It explores the contraction of the release cycle, the maximization of the marketing dollar, and the democratization of consumer access. It also offers a comprehensive list of wide releases and rebuts much of what previous scholars have found.
Download or read book UFO Scotland written by Ron Halliday and published by Black & White Publishing. This book was released on 1998-10-15 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over fifty years, from the Highlands to the Lowlands, and from the Western Isles to Orkney, witnesses have been reporting close encounters with UFOs and alien entities. Many cases have become notorious - the Livingston incident, the Lossiemouth alien, the A70 abduction, the extraordinary events in Bonnybridge and the 'Falkirk Triangle' - but the vast majority of cases have, until now, remained shrouded in secrecy, known only to those who were directly involved. Based on remarkable eyewitness accounts, many of which have never been published before, alongside in-depth analysis of the best-known cases, UFO Scotland is the first comprehensive study of the UFO phenomenon in Scotland. Including accounts of alien abductions, UFO landings, attacks on military aircraft, strange craft in Highland lochs, MoD denials, police investigations and a multitude of bizarre incidents that simply defy explanation, UFO investigator Ron Halliday's dramatic and disturbing new evidence may well bring us one step closer to solving the enduring enigma of Scotland's UFOs.
