Download or read book The Other Half of the Coconut written by K. Srilata and published by Virago Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Self-Respect Movement launched by Periyar (E V Ramasami Naiker) in 1926 questioned the ways in which the lower castes were systematically excluded from the Indian nation and constructed as the `Other by the Brahmin Elites. While Periyar s role within the movement has received critical and scholarly attention, women Self-Respecters and the issues they raised have gone largely unnoticed. This collection of essays and fiction by women Self-Respecters translated from the Tamil could serve as the material basis for writing an alternative history of the movement. In mapping the voices of women who identified with the movement, this anthology helps us arrive at a different and richer understanding of what the Self-Respect movement stood for. There is an urgent need not only to improve upon existing Self-Respect histories but also to critique the ways in which they have so far been written. This anthology provides a basis for such a critique.

Download or read book The Other Half of Life written by Dr Pooran Latchman and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life of a boy who grew up in a situation that provided barely enough of the basic necessities of life. With a strongly determined father, caring mother, and dependable siblings he was able to carve out a life that was fashioned from the dreams he carried in his childhood. In his latter life, he found himself in a situation that allowed him to go back to his youthful dreams. At 62, while still strong and healthy, and with the realization that he was no longer tied to any form of obligation towards the world or to anyone else, he retired. With a determination recaptured from his youth he now wants to probe into the further reaches of his being to see just how far he can go. This latter part of life that he could not have foreseen is what he refers to as The Other Half of Life. It is to be different from the first half where it had been simply going through the functions of the everydayness of life. He now finds himself in a situation that has no constraints and no limitations. This awareness of absolute freedom to design his life in whatever way he chooses, now engulfs his being and propels him to become that for which he was made to be. It had all been laid out in the dreams of his childhood.
Download or read book So What s Next written by G. J. Griffiths and published by G J Griffiths. This book was released on 2014-05-03 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molly Pearson is a young Biology teacher with two passions in her life: a strong commitment to protecting wildlife; and a desire to encourage the children in her classes to feel the same enthusiasm for Nature. When her class decide they would like to restore the school’s neglected and vandalised nature corner her hopes are raised and challenged at the same time. The hurdles that she meets along the way will include bullied and bullying pupils, as well as the expected ones of finance and willing manpower. But leaping those fences does not prepare the ambitious Molly for a dramatic fire and the confusion of a new passion in her life, in the form of Oliver Shrimpton. Will he become that significant someone, or is he just another obstacle for her to overcome? G J Griffiths' latest novel, in the So What! series of stories, is still based firmly around the events that take place within the "walls" of Birch Green High School. It follows some of the trials and tribulations of Molly Pearson, a previous novice teacher who was mentored by Robert Jeffrey - the main character from the first book. Molly's efforts to spread the important message, about protecting wildlife and the natural environment, reflect something that has always been important to the author. For that reason some of the proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to wildlife charities. Although this book is an exciting novel telling the story of schoolchildren who want to protect garden wildlife, it also contains several chapters towards the end with plenty of helpful information for lovers of nature, and who want to take a fresh look at making their garden a wildlife garden.

Download or read book A Taste of Cambodian Cuisine written by Demaz Baker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southeast Asian cuisine has risen in popularity over the past few decades and this has led many people to discover the unique flavors of Cambodian cooking. This cookbook is geared to food lovers who would like to expand their cooking repertoire and to young Cambodian Americans who would like to learn the dishes they may have grown up eating and now miss. Demaz seeks to make Cambodian cuisine accessible to the average cook who may not have the time to roast and grind spices from scratch due to the realities of modern society. Over the past thirty years, Demaz has tested various pastes and sauce bases available in Asian grocery stores and now increasingly in mainstream supermarkets. In some cases, these ready made concoctions provide an excellent point from which to begin. For those who are familiar with the cuisine of Thailand, for example, the spices used in Thai curries are very similar to those used in Cambodian curries (with the exception of less sugar, chili pepper and coconut milk). This makes a Thai curry paste a good starting point. To make the final result an unmistakably authentic Khmer taste, Demaz adds spice combinations and ratios unique to Cambodian cooking.
