Download or read book Say Uncle written by Garland Stewart and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garland Stewart's early life in Mississippi was focused on one overriding goal: to get out of Mississippi, because it isn't really the best environment for a gay man. After graduating from college, he accepted a teaching job in the Middle East. That was about as far away as he could get from the South and his family. When his third and final teaching contract ended, he decided to come home to spend a couple of months in Mississippi. He was between jobs and the time off would give him the opportunity to take care of his mother after she had surgery. Once he gets home, though, chaos ensues; after finding out that one of his sisters is an addict and an alcoholic, his mother gets arrested for "uttering" (writing bad checks). He makes the monumental decision to stay when he discovers that his sister Lynn's five children are about to be taken from her because of her addictions. He takes responsibility for the kids and lets his mother move in to help raise them. Written in a witty, folksy style, you will fall in love with the heart-warming and crazy characters in Say Uncle!
Download or read book The Dancing Lares and the Serpent in the Garden written by Harriet I. Flower and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most pervasive gods in ancient Rome had no traditional mythology attached to them, nor was their worship organized by elites. Throughout the Roman world, neighborhood street corners, farm boundaries, and household hearths featured small shrines to the beloved lares, a pair of cheerful little dancing gods. These shrines were maintained primarily by ordinary Romans, and often by slaves and freedmen, for whom the lares cult provided a unique public leadership role. In this comprehensive and richly illustrated book, the first to focus on the lares, Harriet Flower offers a strikingly original account of these gods and a new way of understanding the lived experience of everyday Roman religion. Weaving together a wide range of evidence, Flower sets forth a new interpretation of the much-disputed nature of the lares. She makes the case that they are not spirits of the dead, as many have argued, but rather benevolent protectors—gods of place, especially the household and the neighborhood, and of travel. She examines the rituals honoring the lares, their cult sites, and their iconography, as well as the meaning of the snakes often depicted alongside lares in paintings of gardens. She also looks at Compitalia, a popular midwinter neighborhood festival in honor of the lares, and describes how its politics played a key role in Rome’s increasing violence in the 60s and 50s BC, as well as in the efforts of Augustus to reach out to ordinary people living in the city’s local neighborhoods. A reconsideration of seemingly humble gods that were central to the religious world of the Romans, this is also the first major account of the full range of lares worship in the homes, neighborhoods, and temples of ancient Rome.
