Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardboard Citizens presents the story of an entire nation made homeless, starting in the age of Cold War secrets and ending in the era of global warming. A Few Man Fridays unearths an inglorious episode of British history. Between 1967 and 1973, the population of the Chagos Islands was evicted to make way for a US military base. For forty years they have fought for justice in an epic struggle that is unlikely to end even when the European Court of Justice delivers a ruling later this year. A Few Man Fridays traces the displacement of these 'unpeople' and the successive denial of their right to nationhood. Cardboard Citizens has worked with homeless people and the marginalised for 20 years, marrying personal stories and historical subjects into an epic theatre that challenges public perceptions of social exclusion. This new play explores the fantasies of the powerful, set against the dreams of the powerless.

Download or read book A People s History of Florida 1513 1876 written by Adam Wasserman and published by Adam Wasserman. This book was released on 2010 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States, predicted that the bottom class perspective of history would eventually gain ground, enveloping the old way of narrating history as told by the powerful. Since then, numerous historical events have been redefined through the outlook of common people that were involved from the bottom-up, forever altering how we understand history. No more romantic diatribes glittered in patriotic myths. No more traditional heroes, standardized viewpoints, unquestionable "facts," or generalized falsehoods. Just plain raw truth that is not afraid to stampede powerful governments with the herd of popular outrage. A People's History of Florida follows the People's History tradition, documenting the active involvement of African-Americans, indigenous people, women, and poor whites in shaping the Sunshine State's history.

Book excerpt: Free man of color Benjamin January travels to Washington, DC, to track down a missing mathematician in this “excellent” pre–Civil War mystery (Publishers Weekly, starred review). New Orleans, 1838. Living in antebellum New Orleans as a free man of color, Benjamin January has always taken whatever work he could find. But when he suddenly loses his job playing piano at extravagant parties, he finds himself taking on an entirely new—and exceedingly dangerous—enterprise. Sugar planter Henri Viellard has hired Benjamin to travel with him to Washington, DC. Henri’s friend, an elderly English mathematician named Selwyn Singletary, was last seen in Washington before he went missing. With Benjamin’s help, Henri intends to track him down. Plunged into a murky world of spies, slave snatchers, and dirty politicians, Benjamin uncovers a coded secret that he attempts to decipher with the help of a young Edgar Allan Poe. But a powerful ring of conspirators doesn’t want the secret known. And they’re ready to kill anyone who gets in their way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CLASSIC TALE OF SHIPWRECK AND SURVIVAL Widely regarded as the first English novel, Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, is one of the most popular adventure stories and most published books in history. This beautifully designed novel of human endurance set in a faraway land is packed with suspense, enchanting detail and daring heroics. Unfolding over a 30 year period, this classic tale of shipwreck and survival is a timeless celebration of hard work, patience, ingenuity, and undaunting courage and is one of the great works of Western civilization. In his own words, Robinson Crusoe, a castaway who was marooned on a remote tropical island for 28 years tells of the terrible storm that drowned all his shipmates and left him struggling to create a life for himself in the wilderness. Crusoe becomes self-sufficient using material salvaged from shipwrecks as he learns to make pottery, grow crops, build a house and domesticate livestock. He must overcome despair, doubt, and self-pity as he encounters cannibals, earthquakes, and mutineers. His many adventures include his rescue of a native who has escaped from cannibals. Naming him Friday, the day he was found, he becomes Crusoe’s trusted companion and servant. The two share a variety of adventures including a fierce battle with cannibals. They recapture a mutinous ship and return to England. An instant success when first published in 1719, over the years Robinson Crusoe has inspired countless imitations along with numerous sequels and adaptations for stage, film, and television. The plot is believed to be partly based on the real-life experiences of Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk.
