Download or read book Young Muslim Women in India written by Kabita Chakraborty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, based on extensive, original research, details the changing lives of youth living in slum communities (bustees) in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). Using young people’s own photos, art and narratives, the book explores how Muslim girls and young women are contributing to, and impacted by, changing youth culture in India. We are invited into the risky world of mixed-sex dance taking place in clandestine spaces in the slums. We join young people on their journeys to find premarital romance and witness their strategic and savvy risk taking when participating in transgressive aspects of consumer culture. The book reveals how social changes in India, including greater education and employment opportunities, as well as powerful middle class Muslim reform discourses, are impacting youth the very local level. More than just fantasy we see that Bollywood is an important role model which young people consult. By carefully negotiating risks and performing multiple identities inspired by modernity, globalization and, most of all, Bollywood culture, young people actively participate in a changing India and disrupt dominant discourses about slum youth as poor victims who are excluded from social change.
Download or read book You re Embarrassing Yourself written by Desiree Akhavan and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writer, actor, and director Desiree Akhavan shares the stories she was told to shut up about—hilarious, horny, heartbreaking tales of a life in pursuit of art, love, and a better haircut. “Hilariously raw, relatable, and—dare I even say—sexy.”—Jessi Klein When it comes to shame, Desiree Akhavan knows what she’s talking about—whether it’s winning the title of the Ugliest Girl at her high school, acquiescing to the nose job she was lovingly forced into by her Iranian parents, or losing her virginity to a cokehead she met in a support group for cutters. In You’re Embarrassing Yourself, Akhavan goes to the rawest places—the lifelong struggle to be at peace in one’s body, the search for home as the child of immigrants, the anxious underbelly of artistic ambition—in pursuit of wisdom, catharsis, and lolz. Equal parts funny and heartfelt, these seventeen essays chart an artist’s journey from outcast to overnight indie darling, to (somewhat) self-aware adult woman. The result is a collection that captures the pathetic lows and euphoric highs of our youth—and how to survive them.

Download or read book Buddy Moon written by Kathryn Boehm and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddy Moon is the first story in the Grove Series but stands alone well—happily ever after guaranteed. It’s a 62,500-word novel featuring Tom, an established big-city architect, and Lisa, a struggling artist in a small town, trying to break into the art world. Each story in the series features a different couple’s love story, but they are all set in the same small Texas town with a recurring cast of secondary and tertiary characters. While my Grove, Texas, is fictional, its geography is based on the real towns around Houston, the fourth largest city in the USA: Cypress, Friendswood, Humble, Katy, Kingwood, La Port, League City, Pasadena, Pearland, Spring, Sugarland, Tomball, Webster, and the Woodlands. All the other places I set my characters to, such as Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, Corpus Christi, Galveston, Matagorda Bay, and Port Aransas are real. Houston and Texas are steeped in a unique history and culture, such as Texas was a country in itself before it became a state, and I use these aspects to flavor my stories. Tom Jeffreys is an established big-city architect, looking for lasting love. He is no longer interested in the one-night stands he has participated in the past. He is tired of those. He works for his father and is going on a buddy moon as the best man to his buddy, Mason, who is marrying Olive in Hawaii. A buddy moon is when eight couples go on a honeymoon, including the bridal couple. He meets Lisa, who is different from all the other girls he has dated, but he has a past he doesn’t want to share. He is instantly attracted to her. Lisa Collins is a struggling artist living in a small town. She is trying to break into the art world. She attended art school and is trying to make her art business pay for itself. She is shy because of what happened in high school but is struggling to change for the better—to no longer be so shy. She is going on the buddy moon to be the maid of honor for Olive, who is marrying Mason. They are going on a destination wedding in Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai. She meets Tom, who is unlike the boys of the past. She is promptly engrossed in him. Can Tom and Lisa trust each other enough to reveal their pasts and move into a future with each other? Or will their past keep them apart? The eight characters in the story will play prominent roles in future books. Watch for their names. Characters from former books will show up in future books.

Book excerpt: Loving The Addict is based on a true story. This story has everything from love , lust , hate, dominance, obsession, sex, police chases, drug lords, violence , abuse, deceit, betrayal and most of all survival. Know one understood the power that Jake controlled over my heart. A Spell some would say that could not be broken. An addiction I would say. In the beginning the motivation behind writing the book Loving The Addict was a jotting down in a journal as self therapy to cope with what happened to me., and was used to help me deal with the abuse that had occurred in my life "Loving the Addict was an incredible read from beginning to end, not just because it is a page turner but because it is a true story about intense, compelling and emotional subject matter that morphs into a honest insight into survival and ultimately personal redemption. When I read the book I couldn't put it down. The story of Jake and Brenda has so many layers that it keeps you constantly guessing what the highs and lows are going to bring. The complexities of both characters and Brenda's personal points of view make for an amazing read but also a change of insight and perception of the core themes: love, addiction and domestic violence." -Natalie
Download or read book The Purse Bearer written by Joe Holley and published by Wings Press. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel explores the underbelly of the almost always politically incorrect world of politics and campaigning in Texas in the 1980s. Rose Marie "Red" Ryder made a name for herself by becoming the first female state comptroller of Texas and she is now running to become the first woman U.S. senator from the Lone Star State. Ryder's campaign team is a potluck of misfits and miscreants: a has-been evangelist's son who once ran a string of mobile massage parlors, veterans of the civil rights struggles, Austin lesbian activists, old-school political operatives with sterling motives and shady morals, and then there is Wily T. Foxx. Until he joined the campaign, almost entirely by accident, Wily's passion in life had been cock fighting. Now he is literally the candidate's "purse bearer," a combination bodyguard/campaign worker, privy to all of the political intrigue found on the campaign trail. In a state where the dead can rise and walk to the polls, ballot boxes can grow fat in counties with more cattle than people, and the votes of common folk can be disqualified on a whim, this lively and insightful novel captures the absurd and timeless qualities of running for political office.
