Download or read book The Massacura Man a Folk Play for Young People written by Paloma Mohamed and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A play about moral courage, social justice, respect for the environment, history and tradition. "The Massacuraman, engages mythology in its use of the Massacuraman, a feared demon figure who inhabits the Guyanese rivers and creeks. Despite his dreaded reputation, he is, in fact, a protector of the forest environment similar to the role played by Papa Bois of the Eastern Caribbean and Trinidad. The villagers live in fear of the supernatural monster, but his anger is basically provoked by their own monstrous acts and abuses. This is sustained in the plot when the Massacuraman is blamed for the villainy of one of the residents, then the damage done is atoned for by a most unexpected sacrifice. " Al Creighton, Director Center for Amerindian Studies, University of Guyana."`The Massacuraman', is darker and takes readers on a roller-coaster of emotions: hope, fear, dread, outrage - but the ending is more than a little controversial - though well handled. Mohamed encourages us to develop a real empathy for Ovid - perhaps his failure to take action over his wife's misdemeanours accounts for what happens to him in the end!... Mohamed has successfully incorporated Caribbean mythology and folklore into contemporary situations and/or at least made Caribbean mythology and folklore accessible for contemporary readers/performers and audiences ....delightful!"Black and Asian Studies Association Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication Power and Change in the Caribbean takes a fascinating, holistic, multi-level actor-oriented approach to examining social change in two Caribbean countries. Paloma Mohamed evaluates the power of various communicative artefacts produced by various strata in those societies, investigating what constitutes this power, how it is used, how it is maintained and whose interests are served. The result is a richly researched, deeply thoughtful and passionately argued case for placing communication at the core of evaluations of power and change in the world.

Download or read book Companions of the Day and Night written by Wilson Harris and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'He ascended, eyes riveted, nailed to the steps leading up to the top of the pyramid of the sun. How many human hearts he wondered had been plucked from bodies there to feed the dying light of the sun and create an obsession with royal sculptures, echoing stone?... It was time to take stock of others as hollow bodies and shelters into which one fell...' In Companions of the Day and Night (first published in 1975) Wilson Harris revives figures from his earlier Black Marsden - chiefly Clive Goodrich, the 'editor' of this text, who constructs a narrative from the papers of a figure known as Idiot Nameless: a wanderer between present and past, taking an Easter sojourn in Mexico that lasts both for days and for centuries. The results have the strangely hypnotic power characteristic of Wilson Harris's fiction.
