Download or read book My Mother s Table written by Nelia Hyndman-Rizk and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the era of globalisation, studies of migration focus on mobility, deterritorialised identities and diasporic forms of belonging across nation state boundaries. Indeed, uprootedness from the soil of home and place has resulted in a general condition of ‘homelessness’ in late modernity, referred to as the diasporic condition. This study explores the construction of home amongst immigrants from Hadchit and their descendants in Australia and America and shows how their strategies of home-building depend upon the capacity to imagine themselves as being united by kinship, a shared village of origins and as part of the broader communal Maronite identity (Mwarne), which now transcends nation state boundaries. Patrilineage (bayt), village (day’aa) and sect (ta’eefa) have historically defined Lebanese sectarian identities and now, as this study shows, are deployed as a strategy of home-building and community construction in diaspora. However, capitalist social relations of production in Australia and America have transformed bayt, day’aa and ta’eefa amongst the second, third and fourth generations through the gendered renegotiation of the marriage contract from relations of descent to relations of consent. Thus, the Hadchitis now face a crisis of (re)production and attribute this, in the case of Australia, to the state being hukum niswen, ruled by women, an inversion of the gendered order of power in Lebanon. Through pilgrimages to the ancestral village, however, émigrés seek a spiritual resolution to the contradictions of migration through the restoration of their connection to place, but find they cannot seamlessly belong in Hadchit. Meanwhile, multicultural crisis and a milieu of anti-Lebanese racism limit their claims to national belonging in Australia and America. This study finds, therefore, that the contradictions of the migration process are unresolvable through physical mobility, because the feeling of ‘home’ is a metaphysical state of being, which transcends place and is defined by its affective, social and spiritual dimensions. The elusive quality that defines home and provides a sense of unconditional belonging is, in fact, socially constructed by women, through their daily practices of care within the home and the most important woman for the construction of homeliness is the matriarch, sit el bayt—the power of the house. Thus, the place where the immigrant can be at home is metaphorically at their ‘mother’s table.’

Book excerpt: The truth about the links will be deadly for Llad Fleck. No one ever told him about the psychic traits of his Viking ancestors and their extraordinary heritage―or how they died. He never heard that a powerful paranormal research institute in London considered him a lethal threat. All Llad knows for sure is that the men he plays ball against complain that he has “mad skills not suitable for a teenager.” When Llad meets an eccentric parapsychologist, she tells him she has waited decades just to teach him to expand his mind to access his unique gifts. Although her stories come across as too far-fetched, Llad tries studying her techniques. Even if he does have some kind of ancient link, Llad questions if he has the talent or patience to grasp the preternatural senses she thinks he inherited. After multiple killings shatter Llad’s life, he still doesn’t know who is behind the brutal murders or why he’s involved. He finally realizes that he is now fighting for his life against a fanatical enemy who thinks Llad controls the secrets of his Norse fore-fathers. Llad knows nothing about any of this and takes off halfway around the world searching for clues about his cryptic lineage while constantly being distracted by dreams of a mysterious girl who might be the key to his mastering the bizarre psychic gifts he will need to survive.

Download or read book Swedish Seattle written by Paul Norlen and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swedish immigrants began arriving in Seattle in the 1880s, and by 1900 had formed a thriving community of churches, businesses, social clubs, labor organizations, choruses, and dance groups, as well as a Swedish-language press. Their civic accomplishments are exemplified by well-known Seattle institutions founded by Swedish immigrants, including a national department store chain and a world-class medical facility, which began as Swedish Hospital. The story of the Swedish community in Seattle is also a personal history of families and friends building a new life as Americans. Swedish culture is perhaps most publicly visible in annual celebrations such as Midsummer and Lucia. A lively local interest in Swedish music and dance suggests that Swedish Seattle is not limited to residents who happen to be of Swedish descent.

Download or read book Game Misconduct written by Evan F. Moore and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who have been lured by the sound of skate blades slicing into fresh ice, by the incomparable speed, split-second decisions, and everything-or-nothing attitude of the game know that hockey can seem like its own world. It's all-consuming and exhilarating, boasting its own language and complex morality code. Yet in another light, that tight community can turn insular; the values of teamwork and humility can manifest as collective silence in the face of abuse and discrimination, issues which have been brought to the forefront of the sport as many share their stories for the first time. In Game Misconduct, reporters Evan Moore and Jashvina Shah reveal hockey's toxic undercurrent which has permeated the sport throughout the junior, college, and professional levels. They address the topic with a level of passion that comes from being rabid hockey fans themselves, and from experiencing its exclusivity first-hand. With a sensitive yet incisive approach, this necessary book lays bare the issues of racism, homophobia, xenophobia, bullying, sexism, and violence on and off the ice. Readers will learn about notable players and activists fighting for transformation as well as those beyond the spotlight who are nonetheless deeply affected by hockey's culture of inaction. Both a reckoning and a roadmap, Game Misconduct is an essential read for modern hockey fans, showing the truth of the sport's past and present while offering the tools to fight for a better future.

Liam is the shifter king of Nova Solara, and he rules along with his council, Rask and Arron. These three men aren't just drop-dead sexy, they're alpha dragons who happen to be busy fighting each other when they aren't fighting everyone else. As Fianni finds herself in the middle of a rising insurrection, she discovers that the dragons have to find a single mate or they'll lose the crown. With so much on the line, she has to wonder: Do they want true love? Or is she their royal compromise? Royally Mated was previously published as Their Royal Compromise under MTWorlds Press. This is the author's new and preferred version.
