Book The Voice of A Betrayed Indian

Download or read book The Voice of A Betrayed Indian written by R.S. Lakshmi and published by Educreation Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt made to torch lights upon the concealed parts of many social issues at the dawn of the structured-modern society. When we come to speak about society, it is factual to say that society is dynamic in nature. Only when change befalls, the society can have its progress. However, here one has to look out what kind of change we require and be wary about the consequences of the change which we are about to face in future. Not all change is progress. Violence, poverty, corruption, human rights violations and racism are some of the major problems that we citizens of India face in everyday life. Urbanization and Industrialization has a great impact in the current functions and changes of society’s major institutions, including family system, culture and women empowerment, which demands to expose the untold part of it. It is time to critically analyse and get clear with the change and problems of the society by understanding its root cause to find solutions at 360 degree perspective Hope that this book will help to do that and inspire many people to work for the real development that this nation is longing for. Certainly, this book will be a twitch to all those who want to have a glimpse upon the obvious but unseen social problems.

Download or read book The Imaginary Indian written by Daniel Francis and published by arsenal pulp press. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992, The Imaginary Indian is a revealing history of the "Indian" image mythologized by popular Canadian culture since 1850, propagating stereotypes that exist to this day. Images of First Nations people have always been fundamental to Canadian culture. From the paintings and photographs of the 19th century to the Mounted Police sagas and the spectacle of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show; from the performances of Pauline Johnson, Grey Owl, and Buffalo Long Lance to the media images of Oka and the Vancouver Winter Olympics?the Imaginary Indian is ever with us, oscillating throughout our history from friend to foe, from Noble Savage to bloodthirsty warrior, from debased alcoholic to wise elder, from monosyllabic "squaw" to eloquent princess, from enemy of progress to protector of the environment. The Imaginary Indian has been, and continues to be—as Daniel Francis reveals in this book—just about anything the non-Native culture has wanted it to be; and the contradictory stories non-Natives tell about Imaginary Indians are really stories about themselves and the uncertainties that make up their cultural heritage. This is not a book about Native people; it is the story of the images projected upon Native people—and the desperate uses to which they are put. This new edition, published almost twenty years after the book's first release, includes a new preface and afterword by the author. Daniel Francis is an award-winning historian and the author of twenty books.

Book Storytime in India

    Book Details:
  • Author : Helen Priscilla Myers
  • Publisher : Indiana University Press
  • Release : 2019-06-14
  • ISBN : 0253041643
  • Pages : 545 pages

Download or read book Storytime in India written by Helen Priscilla Myers and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-14 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An American ethnomusicologist and her Indian collaborator recount their experiences researching Bhojpuri wedding songs in India. Stories are the backbone of ethnographic research. During fieldwork, subjects describe their lives through stories. Afterward ethnographers come home from their journeys with stories of their own about their experiences in the field. Storytime in India is an exploration of the stories that come out of ethnographic fieldwork. Helen Priscilla Myers and Umesh Chandra Pandey examine the ways in which their research collecting Bhojpuri wedding songs became interwoven with the stories of their lives, their work together, and their shared experience reading The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope. Moving through these intertwined stories, the reader learns about the complete Bhojpuri wedding tradition through songs sung by Gangajali and access to the original song recordings and their translations. In the interludes, Pandey reads and interprets The Eustace Diamonds, confronting the reader with the ever-present influence of colonialism, both in India and in ethnographic fieldwork. Interwoven throughout are stories of the everyday, highlighting the ups and downs of the ethnographic experience. Storytime in India combines the style of the Victorian novel with the structure of traditional Indian village tales, in which stories are told within stories. This book questions how we can and should present ethnography as well as what we really learn in the field. As Myers and Pandey ultimately conclude, writers of scholarly books are storytellers themselves and scholarly books are a form of art, just like the traditions they study.

Book Indigenous Textual Cultures

Download or read book Indigenous Textual Cultures written by Tony Ballantyne and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As modern European empires expanded, written language was critical to articulations of imperial authority and justifications of conquest. For imperial administrators and thinkers, the non-literacy of “native” societies demonstrated their primitiveness and inability to change. Yet as the contributors to Indigenous Textual Cultures make clear through cases from the Pacific Islands, Australasia, North America, and Africa, indigenous communities were highly adaptive and created novel, dynamic literary practices that preserved indigenous knowledge traditions. The contributors illustrate how modern literacy operated alongside orality rather than replacing it. Reconstructing multiple traditions of indigenous literacy and textual production, the contributors focus attention on the often hidden, forgotten, neglected, and marginalized cultural innovators who read, wrote, and used texts in endlessly creative ways. This volume demonstrates how the work of these innovators played pivotal roles in reimagining indigenous epistemologies, challenging colonial domination, and envisioning radical new futures. Contributors. Noelani Arista, Tony Ballantyne, Alban Bensa, Keith Thor Carlson, Evelyn Ellerman, Isabel Hofmeyr, Emma Hunter, Arini Loader, Adrian Muckle, Lachy Paterson, Laura Rademaker, Michael P.

Book The Garden of Betrayal

    Book Details:
  • Author : Lee Vance
  • Publisher : Vintage Crime/Black Lizard
  • Release : 2010-08-03
  • ISBN : 0307593800
  • Pages : 321 pages

Download or read book The Garden of Betrayal written by Lee Vance and published by Vintage Crime/Black Lizard. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manhattan, 2002: Mark Wallace has it all—he’s married to Claire, the love of his life; they have two bright, beautiful children, and his is a high-powered Wall Street job. Until one night while on a neighborhood errand by himself, his twelve-year-old son, Kyle, vanishes, brutally snatched off the streets of New York. Seven years later, Kyle has never been found. The loss, guilt, and mystery surrounding their son’s disappearance have almost destroyed the Wallaces’ marriage, leaving their daughter alienated and distant. Mark has thrown himself into his work—he is now an energy markets consultant for a private hedge fund run by the father of a friend—and, though successful, is living on emotional autopilot. Now, on the same day that a natural gas pipeline in remote western Russia is blown up by suspected terrorists, a new lead opens in Kyle’s case. When the very next day a colleague slips Mark classified information on Saudi oil production and then suddenly turns up dead, apparently a suicide, it remains for Mark, with the help of his technophile daughter and still-grieving wife, to find the sinister connections among everything that’s going on. Their personal struggle is equally compelling—three people who must once again learn how to be a family. Politically savvy, emotionally complex, and frighteningly believable, The Garden of Betrayal is a tense and timely imagining of the casualties of recession-era Wall Street gaming and the backroom global oil wars, a riveting, compulsive read that will grip you from first page to last. It also places Lee Vance on the level of today’s best and best-selling thriller writers—Richard North Patterson, Christopher Reich—who not only thrill us but make us think.

Book excerpt: It is not the enemy you see but the one you don’t that frightens you more. Unlike the hot bullets that tear through the muscles, cold winds of spy-craft crawl under your skin and create wounds that eat you hollow. Before you realise, the walls are closing in on you and it’s already too late. Abhimanyu had found the lead that could help him uncover those wounds soon, or so he thought. It didn’t matter for the lead died before Abhimanyu could make his move. The Orbs have surrounded the Indians and they are yet to realise it. Meanwhile, the special forces have put everything on line to get their hands on another lead which could help them avert a deadly covert invasion. Lo and behold, they escape death and have their firm grip on the lead that can solve their problems, or so they think, again. In this cat-and-mouse game with a nameless enemy, the Indians struggle to keep up. Will they find the secrets of the Orbs or let the Orbs encircle them beyond rescue?
