Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Virgin Islands (BVI) markets itself to international visitors as a paradise. But just whose paradise is it? Colleen Ballerino Cohen looks at the many players in the BVI tourism culture, from the tourists who leave their graffiti at beach bars that are popularized in song, to the waiters who serve them and the singers who entertain them. Interweaving more than twenty years of field notes, Cohen provides a firsthand analysis of how tourism transformed the BVI from a small neglected British colony to a modern nation that competes in a global economic market. With its close reading of everything from advertisements to political manifestos and constitutional reforms, Take Me to My Paradise deepens our understanding of how nationalism develops hand-in-hand with tourism, and documents the uneven impact of economic prosperity upon different populations. We hear multiple voices, including immigrants working in a tourism economy, nationalists struggling to maintain some control, and the anthropologist trying to make sense of it all. The result is a richly detailed and accessible ethnography on the impact of tourism on a country that came into being as a tourist destination.

Download or read book Not Far Away written by Steve Beard and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2007-09-21 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Not Far Away, a semi-fictional memoir, Lois Beardslee gives a chilling acount of racism, particularly that leveled against Native women, in language that is supple, evocative, often comical, and always incisive. Her fictional heroine, the teacher Ima Pipiig (pronounced 'buh-BEEG'), endures humiliating insults from school administrators, fellow teachers, students, and callous neighbors. For years, she suffers in silence, believing that opposing bigotry would only fuel its caustic flames—but then she begins to speak out. Scattered among the chapters chronicling Ima's experiences are essays and speeches written by the author herself, blurring the line between fiction and fact and creating a kind of resounding echo of resistance that is the author's response to racism.

Erma’s life of spiritual development, social action, and political achievement from her modest beginnings in Detroit’s “Black Bottom” neighborhood, is a powerful demonstration that any person has the potential to succeed and benefit the world. Her genuine warmth and sincerity has earned her the title of “Mother Henderson” to so many citizens of Detroit and the world. This is an important book for our time.

It is a door to the past for today’s youth, to guide them on how to see problems, and to empower everyone to take charge of their own life. It puts forth a vision for the future, a vision manifested by this woman who has lived through many experiences, who knows where we, as Detroiters and as Americans, have come from, and where we can go. But most importantly, it is the story of the remarkable life of an amazing woman.
