Download or read book Flying Unicorns Can Kill You written by Jarrison ARTE and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-07-17 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jarrison ARTE's, Flying Unicorns Can Kill You, is nothing like your everyday novel, it's an autobiography poetically, re-imagined. Picture any average or typical autobiography, now subtract all the fluff-filled jargon that takes forever to materialize. Instead, replace it with individually themed short-storied memoirs that collectively outline all the good parts. Now, multiply that with a poetic cadence-styled form of writing, mixed with a touch of expressive literary art. When combined, this approach promotes an expressive artistic perspective. And you, as the reader, are taken on a rhythmic lyrical journey, as opposed to a long drawn out walk into traditional, uninspiring literature. It's a fresh perspective to creative writing, one that directly interfaces with both reality and the imagination.

Download or read book Of Children and Unicorns written by Joe Robert and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Children and Unicorns is a humorous narration about special needs students that made up the classes over the years of special education teacher Joe Robert. Interspersed among the student anecdotes is commentary by Joe Robert about specific educational practices, methods, and trends. Mr. Robert is writing strictly from years of experience and not from theory or educational ideas that look good on paper, but fail in the classroom. Some of the anecdotes may make you cry a little, but most will make you laugh. He writes about methods that may seem unorthodox for some, yet worked for him. Robert uses the symbol of the fabled unicorn to represent those teachers who stepped outside of the box and did what they had to do to get their job done. The new teacher will look at this work and say, "So that's the way it was," while the experienced teacher will say, "Yes, I've been there. I remember that," and the non-teacher will just say, "Wow!"

Download or read book Contemporary Afro Brazilian Short Fiction written by Ana Cláudia Suriani da Silva and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Brazil is the largest Afro-descendant country outside of Africa, the literature produced by Black Brazilians is mostly unknown both in Brazil and abroad. There is a growing worldwide demand for Afro-descendant literature and a demand for decolonial practices and content, especially within Lusophone literature and literature across the Americas. Contemporary Afro-Brazilian Short Fiction emerges from a UCL-sponsored collaborative translation project, bridging Afro-Brazilian literature with a global audience to respond to the worldwide call for Afro-diasporic narratives. This unique compilation of 21 short stories includes both established and emerging Afro-Brazilian voices. The anthology is bilingual, fostering cross-cultural understanding and affirming the legitimacy of pretoguês as a literary language. The texts are presented with three insightful contributions by Ana Cláudia Suriani da Silva (UCL), Julio Ludemir (Flup) and Maria Aparecida Andrade Salgueiro (UERJ). The introductions not only contextualise the short stories, but also engage in theoretical debates, shedding light on the role of literary translation in language teaching and the impact of the Literary Festival of the Peripheries (Flup) in forming a new generation of Black Brazilian writers. Praise for Contemporary Afro-Brazilian Short Fiction ‘Contemporary Afro-Brazilian Short Fiction highlights generational voices spanning from the Quilombhoje literary movement to newly published authors. This bilingual anthology promises to be an asset to the ever-growing Afro-Brazilian literary canon. The gift to scholars and enthusiasts of Afro-Diaspora literature is the access to brilliantly rich creative works.’ Antonio D. Tillis, Rutgers University-Camden ‘This collection showcases the most compelling Black prose penned in contemporary Brazil bringing together a remarkable convergence of generations in a bilingual anthology. Each story is imbued with Black consciousness, transformed into the art of words, offering a powerful portrayal of both present-day and historical Brazil.’ Eduardo de Assis Duarte, Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG)

Download or read book The Cooking of History written by Stephan Palmié and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-06-14 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a lifetime of studying Cuban Santería and other religions related to Orisha worship—a practice also found among the Yoruba in West Africa—Stephan Palmié has grown progressively uneasy with the assumptions inherent in the very term Afro-Cuban religion. In The Cooking of History he provides a comprehensive analysis of these assumptions, in the process offering an incisive critique both of the anthropology of religion and of scholarship on the cultural history of the Afro-Atlantic World. Understood largely through its rituals and ceremonies, Santería and related religions have been a challenge for anthropologists to link to a hypothetical African past. But, Palmié argues, precisely by relying on the notion of an aboriginal African past, and by claiming to authenticate these religions via their findings, anthropologists—some of whom have converted to these religions—have exerted considerable influence upon contemporary practices. Critiquing widespread and damaging simplifications that posit religious practices as stable and self-contained, Palmié calls for a drastic new approach that properly situates cultural origins within the complex social environments and scholarly fields in which they are investigated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adoption is complicated because it begins with loss. Like an onion, there are so many layers to peel back to get to the heart of each individual story. Children don't ask to be adopted, nor do they ask to have their entire world turned upside-down. Children don't look through a catalog to choose their "perfect" family. Adoptive Parents do. Has your adoption journey been tough? Will there be a light at the end of it? A rainbow? A Unicorn? Did you drink the adoption Kool-Aid?

Download or read book Imagine the Sound written by Carter Mathes and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The post–Civil Rights era was marked by an explosion of black political thought and aesthetics. Reflecting a shifting horizon of expectations around race relations, the unconventional sounds of free jazz coupled with experimental literary creation nuanced the push toward racial equality and enriched the possibilities for aesthetic innovation within the Black Arts Movement. In Imagine the Sound, Carter Mathes demonstrates how African American writers used sound to further artistic resistance within a rapidly transforming political and racial landscape. While many have noted the oral and musical qualities of African American poetry from the post–Civil Rights period, Mathes points out how the political implications of dissonance, vibration, and resonance produced in essays, short stories, and novels animated the ongoing struggle for equality. Situating literary works by Henry Dumas, Larry Neal, and Toni Cade Bambara in relation to the expansive ideas of sound proposed by free jazz musicians such as Marion Brown and Sun Ra, not only does this book illustrate how the presence of sound can be heard and read as political, but it recuperates critically neglected, yet important, writers and musicians. Ultimately, Mathes details how attempts to capture and render sound through the medium of writing enable writers to envision alternate realities and resistance outside of the linear frameworks offered by the Civil Rights and Black Power movements. In precise and elegant prose, Mathes shows how in conceptualizing sound, African American writers opened up the political imaginations of their readers. By exploring this intellectual convergence of literary artistry, experimental music, and sound theory, Imagine the Sound reveals how taking up radically new forms of expression allows us to speak to the complexities of race and political resistance.
