Book excerpt: The overarching theme of the book is one of self-discovery and acceptance. Sebastian, as a gay man, feels constrained by the limitations placed upon him by society and his upbringing. His journey to Australia represents a physical and emotional escape from those limitations, allowing him to explore who he truly is and what he wants from life. Throughout his adventure, Sebastian is confronted with new and challenging experiences that force him to re-examine his assumptions about the world and his place in it. He learns to embrace the beauty and complexity of different cultures, including the Aboriginal spiritual world, and gains a deeper understanding of the nuances of the legal system. But the murder he witnesses also forces Sebastian to confront his own vulnerabilities and fears. As he fights for his own safety and vindication, he learns to trust in his own strength and resilience. Ultimately, the book is a celebration of the power of self-discovery and the importance of acceptance, both of oneself and of others.

Download or read book Fresh Fruit Broken Bodies written by Seth M. Holmes and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies provides an intimate examination of the everyday lives, suffering, and resistance of Mexican migrants in our contemporary food system. Seth Holmes, an anthropologist and MD in the mold of Paul Farmer and Didier Fassin, shows how market forces, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism undermine health and health care. Holmes was invited to trek with his companions clandestinely through the desert into Arizona and was jailed with them before they were deported. He lived with Indigenous families in the mountains of Oaxaca and in farm labor camps in the United States, planted and harvested corn, picked strawberries, and accompanied sick workers to clinics and hospitals. This “embodied anthropology” deepens our theoretical understanding of the ways in which social inequities come to be perceived as normal and natural in society and in health care. In a substantive new epilogue, Holmes and Indigenous Oaxacan scholar Jorge Ramirez-Lopez provide a current examination of the challenges facing farmworkers and the lives and resistance of the protagonists featured in the book.

Download or read book Pulling Strings written by Linda Pembroke Kaiser and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-02 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kaiser explores the extraordinary career of Melville A. Clark (1883–1953), a musician, inventor, entrepreneur, community leader, and collector whose colorful story is largely unknown. Beginning with an account of Clark’s musical family, Kaiser chronicles the founding in 1859 of the Clark Music Company, of which Melville Clark became president in 1919. Originally just a tinker’s shed, the business ultimately moved into a six-story building in the center of Syracuse, New York. The music company celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2010. Clark also combined his talents as a gifted musician and an astute entrepreneur to start the first Syracuse Symphony Orchestra. Kaiser recounts the development of the Clark Irish Harp, the first portable harp manufactured in the United States that could easily play accidentals. There were other Clark inventions, such as the first nylon strings for instruments, a fruit picker, and balloons that the British used in 1918 to drop more than 1,250,000 pamphlets over Germany. Clark’s story unfolds in fascinating detail: a musical encounter with President Wilson, an opportunity to perform for President F. D. Roosevelt at the White House, a visit to Buckingham Palace to present Princess Elizabeth with a music box, and the journey of a Clark Irish Harp to Antarctica with Admiral Byrd. Lavishly illustrated, Pulling Strings not only uncovers the life of a musical genius but also sheds light on a forgotten chapter in Syracuse history.
