Download or read book Searching for Sister written by Paul Platte and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorists kidnap Mirembe Kenyagi, a Kenyan banker, and her sister Susan. Mirembe miraculously escapes, but Susan is sold into sex slavery in terrorist plagued Iraq. While working at the bank, Mirembe met Raul Martinez, a Miami lawyer who assists clients—both good guys and bad guys—by setting up “foundations” to hide money from creditors and cops. Mirembe contacts Raul seeking assistance as she prepares to traverse the dangerous Middle East refugee camps in search of Susan. Raul is married to Haifa, an international model in Jordan. Raul asks Haifa to enlist her rich and famous friends to aid the enslaved female refugees, but Haifa is an addict and captive of social media where she gathers followers and boyfriends. At great peril to himself, Raul diverts money from the international money-laundering underworld to fund rescue operations for sex slaves, coincidentally preventing his wife from latching on to his fortune. Searching for Sister explores people who waste their lives staring cross-eyed at screens but also the people who find the courage to act to rescue women in distress. Every month hundreds of women are kidnapped, raped, and forced into sex-slavery and marriage. Author Paul Platte reports the untold, true events of those women’s war for survival.

This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Best Book of the Year A Vanity Fair Best Summer Read "A haunting, mind-bending memoir. . . . riveting." —New York Times "A mixture of biography and true crime, this narrative . . . offers more plot twists, shocking revelations and shady characters than most contemporary thrillers." —NPR The Book of Atlantis Black will have you questioning facts, rooting for secrets, and asking what it means to know the truth. A young woman is found dead on the floor of a Tijuana hotel room. An ID in a nearby purse reads “Atlantis Black.” The police report states that the body does not seem to match the identification, yet the body is quickly cremated and the case is considered closed. So begins Betsy Bonner’s search for her sister, Atlantis, and the unraveling of the mysterious final months before Atlantis’s disappearance, alleged overdose, and death. With access to her sister’s email and social media accounts, Bonner attempts to decipher and construct a narrative: frantic and unintelligible Facebook posts, alarming images of a woman with a handgun, Craigslist companionship ads, DEA agent testimony, video surveillance, police reports, and various phone calls and moments in the flesh conjured from memory. Through a history only she and Atlantis shared—a childhood fraught with abuse and mental illness, Atlantis’s precocious yet short rise in the music world, and through it all an unshakable bond of sisterhood—Bonner finds questions that lead only to more questions and possible clues that seem to point in no particular direction. In this haunting memoir and piercing true crime account, Bonner must decide how far she will go to understand a sister who, like the mythical island she renamed herself for, might prove impossible to find.

Download or read book Searching for the New Black Man written by Ronda C. Henry Anthony and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the slave narratives of Henry Bibb and Frederick Douglass, as well as the work of W. E. B. Du Bois, James Baldwin, Walter Mosley, and Barack Obama, Ronda C. Henry Anthony examines how women's bodies are used in African American literature to fund the production of black masculine ideality and power. In tracing representations of ideal black masculinities and femininities, the author shows how black men's struggles for gendered agency are inextricably entwined with their complicated relation to white men and normative masculinity. The historical context in which this study couches these struggles highlights the extent to which shifting socioeconomic circumstances dictate the ideological, cultural, and emotional terms upon which black men conceptualize identity. Yet, Anthony quickly moves to texts that challenge traditional constructions of black masculinity. In these texts she traces how the emergence of collaboratively gendered discourses, or a blending of black female/male feminist consciousnesses, are reshaping black masculinities, femininities, and intraracial relations for a new century.
