Описание: A Booklist Top 10 History Book of 2022

The first true people's history of modern India, told through a seven-year, 9,000-mile journey along its many contested borders

Sharing borders with six countries and spanning a geography that extends from Pakistan to Myanmar, India is the world's largest democracy and second most populous country. It is also the site of the world's biggest crisis of statelessness, as it strips citizenship from hundreds of thousands of its people--especially those living in disputed border regions.

Suchitra Vijayan traveled India's vast land border to explore how these populations live, and document how even places just few miles apart can feel like entirely different countries.

In this stunning work of narrative reportage--featuring over 40 original photographs--we hear from those whose stories are never told: from children playing a cricket match in no-man's-land, to an elderly man living in complete darkness after sealing off his home from the floodlit border; from a woman who fought to keep a military bunker off of her land, to those living abroad who can no longer find their family history in India.

With profound empathy and a novelistic eye for detail, Vijayan brings us face to face with the brutal legacy of colonialism, state violence, and government corruption. The result is a gripping, urgent dispatch from a modern India in crisis, and the full and vivid portrait of the country we've long been missing.

Описание: Jeffrey Sean Angel has fled to the backwoods of Upstate New York from Northern Ireland in search of personal autonomy and freedom from religion. He moves to a remote neighborhood consisting of Jan Bratt, a wise and godly old man; Larry, a teenage boy driven by romantic fantasies but coming to embrace the responsibilities of a man; Chad Hoover, a gangsta rapper wannabe with an extreme entitlement mentality; and a handful of others. It isn't long before Jeffrey turns into a full-time sex addict. But his loving family shows no intention of giving up on Jeffrey, especially his younger sister Emily, who was the first in their family to receive Jesus Christ as her savior and Lord. Knowing full well the destructive path Jeffrey is on, Emily urges her dad to relentlessly pray for deliverance for her brother. Will the Lord act on their prayers and save Jeffrey before it's too late?
