Download or read book Remembering Victoria written by James M. Taggart and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 15, 1983, a young mother of six was murdered while walking across her village of Huitzilan de Serdán, Mexico, with her infant son and one of her daughters. This woman, Victoria Bonilla, was among more than one hundred villagers who perished in violence that broke out soon after the Mexican army chopped down a cornfield that had been planted on an unused cattle pasture by forty Nahuat villagers. In this anthropological account, based on years of fieldwork in Huitzilan, James M. Taggart turns to Victoria's husband, Nacho Angel Hernández, to try to understand how a community based on respect and cooperation descended into horrific violence and fratricide. When the army chopped down the cornfield at Talcuaco, the war that broke out resulted in the complete breakdown of the social and moral order of the community. At its heart, this is a tragic love story, chronicling Nacho's feelings for Victoria spanning their courtship, marriage, family life, and her death. Nacho delivered his testimonio to the author in Nahuat, making it one of the few autobiographical love stories told in an Amerindian language, and a very rare account of love among the indigenous people of Mesoamerica. There is almost nothing in the literature on how a man develops and changes his feelings for his wife over his lifetime. This study contributes to the anthropology of emotion by focusing on how the Nahuat attempt to express love through language and ritual.
Download or read book Oxford Jackson written by William Whyte and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2006-08-31 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century one man changed Oxford forever. T. G. Jackson built the Examination Schools, the Bridge of Sighs, worked at a dozen colleges, and restored a score of other Oxford icons. He also built for many of the major public schools, for the University of Cambridge, and at the Inns of Court. A friend of William Morris, he was a pioneering member of the arts and crafts moment. A distinguished historian, he also restored dozens of houses and churches - and ensured the survival of Winchester Cathedral. As an architectural theorist he was a leader of the generation that rejected the Gothic Revival and sought to develop a new and modern style of building. Drawing on extensive archival work, and illustrated with a hundred images, this is the first in-depth analysis of Jackson's career ever written. It sheds light on a little-known architect and reveals that his buildings, his books, and his work as an arts and craftsman were not just important in their own right, they were also part of a wider social change. Jackson was the architect of choice for a particular group of people, for the 'intellectual aristocracy' of late Victorian England. His buildings were a means by which they could articulate their identity and demonstrate their distinctiveness. They reformed the universities and the schools whilst he refashioned their image. Essential reading for anyone interested in Victorian architecture and nineteenth-century society, this book will also be of interest to all those who know and love Oxford or Cambridge.

Book excerpt: Baby Victoria was born at six o’five in the morning on Sandra and Russ Bearor’s fourth anniversary. They didn’t know it was the beginning of a chapter in their lives that would forever change how they saw themselves. Coming was the pinnacle point that would carve out the place in life God meant for them if they chose to follow his word and have faith in his plan for their lives. In When Jesus Carried Me, Sandra tells a true story of the greatest of loves, the worst kind of loss, and how she survived the everyday pain of sorrow by the power, love, and grace of the Lord. This memoir, presented in journal format, shares the grief and sadness the family experienced when Victoria died at birth. Sandra chronicles how she grew as a person, a wife, and a mom, as she explains with a direct line through the Holy Spirit, the hurt, heartache, and the peace the Lord shared with her. She discusses her journey, with a newfound understanding and healing, to help others find discernment in a world no one should have to live through.

Book excerpt: "A best-seller, Michelle Remembers was the first book written on the subject of satanic ritual abuse and is an important part of the controversies beginning in the 1980s regarding satanic ritual abuse and "recovered" memory. The book has subsequently been discredited by several investigations which found no corroboration of the book's events, and that the events described in the book were extremely unlikely and in some cases impossible. ... Soon after the book's publication, Pazder was forced to withdraw his assertion that it was the Church of Satan that had abused Smith when Anton LaVey (who founded the church years after the alleged events of Michelle Remembers) threatened to sue for libel"--Wikipedia.

Book excerpt: She sat by the telephone in her suite, waiting for his midnight call, watching the hands of the clock move so slowly toward twelve. The knock didn’t register at first, and when it did, she moved reluctantly to open the door. It would be a bouquet of winter roses and a brief message of apology . . . But it was the man she loved, his blue eyes dark-circled, his beloved face pale and drawn. “Oh,” she breathed as she touched the taut skin beneath his eyes. “Oh, you’re here.” She led him into the room and into her bed, and to the magical place of peace that was their love. He had believed that gentle, fragile place was gone, trampled by the monstrous emotions that raged within him. But for one night of exquisite intimacy, the monsters were still and the churning restlessness was calmed, and there was only the tenderness of their love... Alexandra and Catherine Taylor are sisters—and strangers. Each longs for the closeness they have never had, never knowing how to reach out to the other and discovering, when at last they decide to try, that it’s almost too late . . . for shocking secrets, inner demons, and tragic loves stand in their way. As the star of Pennsylvania Avenue, TV’s hottest primetime drama, Alexa has it all, beauty, fame, and fortune. Her off-screen life is even more dramatic. She's in love with a powerful man who cannot promise her more than their secret nights of pleasure. Alexa accepts this compromise without question, not knowing that her clandestine passion will drive a deeper wedge between herself and Catherine. Gifted concert pianist Catherine has always let her music shield her from the world. But even her magnificent gift, and her beloved music, cannot shield her from the devastating truth of who she is, and who she is not. Catherine hides the terrible secret, even as she searches for answers. Her courageous journey will take her to a glittering Mediterranean isle . . . and into the arms of a man who will make her whole. Desire and heartbreak, passion and love. Alexa and Catherine must travel those perilous journeys of the heart before they can be the sisters they want to be and find the happiness that awaits them both at the end of their rainbows.

Download or read book Remembering Women Murdered by Men written by Cultural Memory Group and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are murdered by men every day, yet these acts of femicide barely make the news. Across Canada, there are over fifty memorials to women who have been murdered. Each one tells at least two stories: the terrible one of unremitting violence against women and the triumphant one of women claiming public space, naming the violence and insisting that society remember. This book is the first to record thirty of these, and in so doing names the women remembered and the circumstances of their deaths. The authors document the feminist community's response and the initiative taken to build memorials along with the official attempts to keep them out of public view. The memorials documented include those in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, The Pas, Toronto, Montreal, London, Ottawa and Moncton. Remembering Women Murdered by Men features the voices of memorial makers and the struggle of bringing public attention to the issue of femicide. It inspires all of us to speak out.
