Download or read book Citizenship and Its Discontents written by Niraja Gopal Jayal and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking new ground in scholarship, Niraja Jayal writes the first history of citizenship in the largest democracy in the world—India. Unlike the mature democracies of the west, India began as a true republic of equals with a complex architecture of citizenship rights that was sensitive to the many hierarchies of Indian society. In this provocative biography of the defining aspiration of modern India, Jayal shows how the progressive civic ideals embodied in the constitution have been challenged by exclusions based on social and economic inequality, and sometimes also, paradoxically, undermined by its own policies of inclusion. Citizenship and Its Discontents explores a century of contestations over citizenship from the colonial period to the present, analyzing evolving conceptions of citizenship as legal status, as rights, and as identity. The early optimism that a new India could be fashioned out of an unequal and diverse society led to a formally inclusive legal membership, an impulse to social and economic rights, and group-differentiated citizenship. Today, these policies to create a civic community of equals are losing support in a climate of social intolerance and weak solidarity. Once seen by Western political scientists as an anomaly, India today is a site where every major theoretical debate about citizenship is being enacted in practice, and one that no global discussion of the subject can afford to ignore.

Download or read book Pinabli Other Poems written by Santiago Villafania and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pinabli and Other Poems consists of over 200 anlongs (poems), some of these poems in English translated into Spanish, a few haikus and translations of poems by writers who had inspired him like Jose Garcia Villa and e.e. cummings. Most deal with love, which he describes in a language full of imagery and lyricism. Many believe that the Pangasinan language would have died if it weren't for the efforts of Villafania and his colleagues who with great dedication worked against all odds to ensure revival of the language after the long hiatus for Pangasinan literature that lasted for 30 years (1960-90)."Rarely, if ever, has Pangasinan poetry sounded so fierce and tender, sacred and earthy. Santiago Villafania's poetry illuminates the Pangasinan soul, language, culture and identity. His book Pinabli and Other Poems is both delicate and bold; a real contribution to our national literature." -F. Sionil Jos�, National Artist for Literature

Download or read book As I Tango written by Santiago B. Villafania and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Santiago Villafania is a searcher with a seemingly insatiable curiosity and endurance. His quest has brought him to explore world poetry from points East and West. He is no stranger to sophisticated verse forms such the Sapphic strophe nor to the diverse permutations of the Japanese haiku. But he is not a formalist, he has daringly explored Asian and Western cultures in a very personal way and writes his mind with a daring, invigorating, aesthetically pleasing ease. In his poetry, Villafania displays not only a breadth, but it feels very much like a breath of fresh air. He has the voice of a poet to be reckoned with." - Ute Margaret Saine, poet, translator, editor "He is not afraid of short or long poems; neither is he daunted by a pack of images that at first glance appear disjointed only to congeal into a gestalt that concretizes his theme. Love poems are among the most difficult to write, but Villafania's poetic mainstay are his expressions of l'amour and is quite comfortable with their emotive persuasion without being maudlin." - Albert B. Casuga, Philippines-born Canadian writer
