Book Unsung but Unforgotten

Download or read book Unsung but Unforgotten written by Stanley A. Vambe and published by ShieldCrest. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Another insight into the intriguing township tales of yesteryear. Sylvia, (aka Mama Abi), the self-styled custodian of the ghetto morals, rules her roost with absolute sovereignty. Her children live in total submission and know not to contravene her code of conduct. Her Iron Lady demeanour however, inadvertently creates a chasm between her and her husband Njoro, who then resorts to the so called extra-curricular liaisons, in order to compensate for the deprivation of his conjugal rights. Sylvia, while lambasting her husband for his infidelity, plays the hypocrite when she succumbs to the carnal demands of her womanhood. She engages in an illicit affair and harbours a secret which only time reveals, after a rather strange sequence of events. Was it fate or mischief she wondered...? Football, with its plethora of talented players like George Shaya, Shaw Handriade, Majuta Mpofu, David Muchineripi and Shaky Tauro, becomes the equivalent of religion, with men, young and old, bowing unreservedly at its altar. Kamnolo, Sylvia s son, whom she loved and hated in equal measures, becomes disillusioned with the multi-layered conflicts within his family, and inevitably ends up experiencing his fair share of township misdemeanours. As much as it is an account of a dysfunctional family who seemed to thrive on high expressed emotion and conflict, this story is also a testament to the carthatic power of love and forgiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the intellectual debates of the last forty years, the critique of cultural canons has attracted the highest share of public attention, stirring academic, educational, and media controversies on both sides of the Atlantic. Postmodernism, feminism, postcolonialism, and multiculturalism have refashioned the attitudes of educators and audiences towards cultural memory, opening up curricula to subjects and traditions previously excluded from the humanities. Predictably, these new critical practices have triggered heated responses from commentators fearing that culture and education might thereby be deprived of their capacity to provide audiences and learners with proper groundings and landmarks. The present volume gathers contributions that throw light on multiple aspects of this reconfiguration of cultural memory. It brings together essays focusing on the dynamics of canon formation in several fields - literature, drama, film, and music. Contributors examine how writers and communities find their bearings in a cultural landscape more complex than that previously envisaged by advocates of the Great Tradition. Specifically, the present essays throw light on the status of modernist writing, drama in English, or popular genres within the new canonical topography elaborated at the turn of the twenty-first century.

Book excerpt: Third-generation Seattleite, historian, journalist, and museum visionary Ron Chew spent more than five decades fighting for Asian American and social justice causes in Seattle. In this deeply personal memoir, he documents the tight-knit community he remembers, describing small family shops, chop suey restaurants, and sewing factories now vanished. He untangles the mystery of his extended family's journey to America during the era of the Chinese Exclusion Act. Intimate profiles of his parents--a waiter and garment worker--and leaders like Bob Santos, Ruth Woo, Al Sugiyama, Roberto Maestas, and Kip Tokuda are set against the familiar backdrop of local landmarks such as Sick's Stadium, Kokusai Theatre, Shorey's Bookstore, Higo Variety Store, Hong Kong Restaurant, and Chubby &Tubby. He highlights Seattle's unsung champions in the fight for racial inclusion, political empowerment, American ethnic studies, Asian American arts, Japanese American redress, and revitalization of the Chinatown-International District. Chew himself led a successful campaign to transform a historic hotel into the Wing Luke Museum's permanent home.
