Download or read book The Amputated Memory written by Werewere Liking and published by The Feminist Press at CUNY. This book was released on 2014-09-06 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “….An expansive, eclectic, and innovative novel.”—Women's Review of Books A modern-day Things Fall Apart, The Amputated Memory explores the ways in which an African woman’s memory preserves, and strategically forgets, moments in her tumultuous past as well as the cultural past of her country, in the hopes of making a healthier future possible. Pinned between the political ambitions of her philandering father, the colonial and global influences of encroaching and exploitative governments, and the traditions of her Cameroon village, Halla Njokè recalls childhood traumas and reconstructs forgotten experiences to reclaim her sense of self. Winner of the Noma Award—previous honorees include Mamphela Ramphele, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, and Ken Saro-Wiwa—The Amputated Memory was called by the Noma jury “a truly remarkable achievement . . . a deeply felt presentation of the female condition in Africa; and a celebration of women as the country’s memory.”

But when one of the most respected herders has a dramatic awakening and dedicates his life to the church, his impetuous son, Ivvár, is left to guard their diminishing herd alone.

Download or read book Redneck Woman W DVD written by Gretchen Wilson and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2007-09-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raised by a single mom in rural Illinois, Gretchen Wilson's formal education concluded in the eighth grade when she traded books for tending bar at Big O's, a rough-and-tumble joint on the outskirts of Pocahontas, IL. By the time she was 15, Gretchen was managing the place with the help of a loaded 12-gauge behind the bar to keep folks in line. Though he was long gone, Wilson's father had instilled a love of music in his daughter that blossomed on stage at Big O's where she found herself fronting a cover band and eyeing a move to Nashville in search of something more. Another town, struggling in another bar job, but again her gift for music won out. Discovered while singing with the house band at a bar in Nashville's famed Printer's Alley, Gretchen Wilson soon joined the ranks of the Muzik Mafia and the rest is history. In less than one calendar year she went from worrying about the repossession of her car to being one of the most successful recording stars in the world. Co-written by acclaimed and New York Times bestselling author Allen Rucker, the book will cover this inspiring All-American success story while providing a fun, and insightful look in on the kind of strength, will, and humor that have allowed Wilson to reclaim the term "Redneck" and recast it as a point of pride for millions of her fans. Whether she discusses her fashion preferences (Wal-Mart over Victoria's Secret), her choice of beer over champagne, her views on family, or the artists who've helped her to carve out the path she currently walks (Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, etc.), Wilson's signature knack for storytelling and connecting with her audience on that authentically real level translates seamlessly to the page and offers a new and exciting glimpse at one of America's most beloved performers.
Download or read book Steward of God s Mysteries written by Mary Esther Shahbazi and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-05 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steward of God's Mysteries is about God's power in my life to prophesy the true events, dreams, ghosts, visions, aliens, and reality throughout the world. He has chosen me to see the wonders of heaven and signs beneath and on the earth. Call it a sixth sense or possessing an unnatural power, but whatever it is, it's a continuous and constant ability to see, hear, and experience the supernatural. Often I wonder, why me? Why was I chosen to see family and events of the future? Why was I chosen at all to see the Holy Ghost? Why was I abducted? Is it because others think I am kind or funny or a good subject to experiment on? Some say I am a medium, some show much ridicule, saying even more, and still I pray to not know what I know out of fear. I wrote this book to release the fear I hold from the God-given abilities he has bestowed upon me throughout my lifetime, as it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Lord Jesus. But it is a dangerous thing to fall out of the hands of the Lord. My true testimonies throughout this book were for my own private release until somehow I have been led to publicize this information. Hopefully, others will read these truths and come closer to God knowing that he is real and he is working in people's lives. God willing, he has shown all these mysterious things to me for his meaningful reasons, and I give God all the glory! Through these trying times with COVID and massive storms, the only choice to find peace is through Jesus Christ, the true Son of God and the Holy Ghost! All I have made known in this book is true, and I say that upon my death in the flesh, as our spirit lives forever and we all "must pay for what we do!"

If we were to sit down for a cup of coffee and I started sharing this story with you, soon, your mind would be wondering-wondering why your thoughts keep picturing an ornate wooden wall clock with an animated little bird comically piping up every so often. But if I hand you this story when we sit down for our coffee, you may open the tale and become intrigued. So much so that you decide to stay for a while. In fact, to compliment your coffee, you order a slice of pie with discussion. This is a story of a battle between good and evil, heaven and hell. This is one account told of what took place when the powers behind these two worlds collided upon one earthbound soul. And for those who believe, there is seen a glimpse of what is yet to come. May peace be with you.
Download or read book Discovery of Australia s Fishes written by Brian Saunders and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2012-05-11 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the discovery of Australia’s fishes from the earliest days of taxonomy to the first part of the 20th century. It provides a unique insight into the diverse pathways by which Australia’s fish were discovered and outlines the history of early maritime explorations in Australia that collected natural history specimens. The book covers the life and work of each of the most important discoverers, and assesses their accomplishments and the limitations of their work. Discovery of Australia’s Fishes is distinctive in that a biographic approach is integrated with chronological descriptions of the discovery of the Australian fish fauna. Many of northern Australia’s fishes are found in parts of the Indian and western Pacific oceans. The book covers the work of collectors who travelled outside Australia, together with that of the British and European zoologists who received and described their collections. The account ceases at 1930, the year the first modern checklist of Australian fishes was published. 2012 Whitley Award Commendation for Historical Zoology.
