Didn't Come From Nothing is an insightful amazing story of an African American family based on oral tradition and academic study. These ancestors lived, loved and sometimes accomplished fantastic things. They defended themselves in court and survived a tumultuous era of war and slavery. In my case, they bequeathed a wealth of stories and whispered words that would be carried and treasured for generations. It starts with the true story of a Union soldier from Maryland and a former slave in Lake Charles, Louisiana. In a hotbed of Confederacy, they chose to marry each other. Against the odds, this couple would become well-known and wealthy in their southern home, but disaster loomed ahead. Nonetheless, their descendants would remember them with pride. Descendants would spread from Lake Charles, Louisiana to Arizona, Texas, Michigan, California and beyond. One of their grandchildren, Mary Louise Wright-Euell would tell their stories to her children and grandchildren. She would also shape her life into a person of dignity and strength, never forgetting her grandparents.

You will root for them as they made their way in the world. These people are not dead if we remember and learn from them

To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of positions, this special issue grapples with the journal’s origins in the critique of Cold War area studies and its ongoing role in providing openings for theoretically engaged scholarship. Essays, interviews, and visual art allow contributors to explore how positions has encouraged alternative analytical modes for the study of politics, engaged literary theory, queer theory, and economic, religious, and artistic cultures through the lens of Asia. The issue speculates on how future scholarship will negotiate the transformations wrought by the declining hegemony of US-dominated Asian studies in the academic world. Consistent with the journal’s core mission, the issue combines current assessments of broad scholarly disciplines, such as Marxism, cultural studies, and queer studies, with illustrative case studies on topics ranging from Korean real estate markets to the border-crossing experiences of migrant laborers to early twentieth-century advertising in China. A collection of contemporary Asian visual art presented throughout the issue offers a challenge and testament to the political and interpretive scope of positions’ past and future.

Автор: Tani Barlow Название: In the Event of Women ISBN: 1478013516 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781478013518 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 90250.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In the Event of Women outlines the stakes of what Tani Barlow calls “the event of women.” Focusing on the era of the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century's Cultural Revolution, Barlow shows that an event is a politically inspired action to install a newly discovered truth, in this case the mammal origins of human social evolution. Highbrow and lowbrow social theory circulating in Chinese urban print media placed humanity's origin story in relation to commercial capital's modern advertising industry and the conclusion that women's liberation involved selling, buying, and advertising industrial commodities. The political struggle over how the truth of women in China would be performed and understood, Barlow shows, means in part that an event of women was likely global because its truth is vested in biology and physiology. In so doing, she reveals the ways in which historical universals are effected in places where truth claims are not usually sought. This book reconsiders Alain Badiou's concept of the event; particularly the question of whose political moment marks newly discovered truths.

Every few years the story of an extraordinary child captures the imagination of the world and changes the way we think about ourselves and the world around us. In 2008, it was Ishmael Beah's story of his life as a child soldier in Sierra Leone, A Long Way Gone. In 2013, it was Malala Yousafzai's story of risking her life to pursue her education in her native Pakistan.
Now meet Tani Adewumi.
Tani Adewumi didn't know what Boko Haram was or why they had threatened his family. All he knew was that when his parents told the family was going to America, Tani thought it was the start of a great adventure rather than an escape. In truth, his family's journey to the United States was nothing short of miraculous--and the miracles were just beginning.
Tani's father, Kayode, became a dishwasher and Uber driver while Tani's mother, Oluwatoyin, cleaned buildings, while the family lived in a homeless shelter. Eight-year-old Tani jumped into his new life with courage and perseverance--and an unusual mind for chess. After joining the chess club in his public school, Tani practiced his game for hours in the evenings at the shelter. Then he began competing in the ultra-exclusive chess clubs of New York City. And winning--again and again. And then, less than a year after he learned to play, Tani won the New York State chess championship.In My Name Is Tani . . . and I Believe in Miracles, Tani and his parents tell us their incredible true story of sacrificing everything for family, living with nothing but hope, and then sharing generously all they received to discover the greatest riches of all. Tani's triumphant spirit reminds us of the power of kindness and the beauty of unity as we watch for the next miracle to begin.
