On a dark road in South Carolina, a New Jersey housewife's minivan hits a patch of sand and crashes into a tree, leaving her unconscious. When she awakens, she is surrounded by strangers thousands of miles away. Yet, she is a stranger, even to herself. Her memory is gone, and the man who claims to be her father, a famous physician, tells her she is his beloved daughter, Susan Kline. Recovering in the Beverly Hills mansion, Susan tries to trigger a memory or recognition of the people caring for her. Only to be left with the haunting feeling that she is not whom they say she is. Scars prove she may have a family but forges a life with the man who claims to be her father. Her path is chosen, her memories gone. Will the past dictate her future?
Anthropologists widely agree that identities_even ethnic and racial ones_are socially constructed. Less understood are the processes by which social identities are conceived and developed. Legalizing Identities shows how law can successfully serve
"Cole excavates the forgotten and hidden history of criminal identification--from photography to exotic anthropometric systems based on measuring body parts, from fingerprinting to DNA typing"--Jacket.
Known as “Canada’s forgotten people,” the Métis have long been here, but until 1982 they lacked the legal status of Native people. At that point, however, the Métis were recognized in the constitution as one of Canada’s Aboriginal peoples. A significant addition to Métis historiography, The Long Journey of a Forgotten People includes Métis voices and personal narratives that address the thorny and complicated issue of Métis identity from historical and contemporary perspectives. Topics include eastern Canadian Métis communities; British military personnel and their mixed-blood descendants; life as a Métis woman; and the Métis peoples ongoing struggle for recognition of their rights, including discussion of recent Supreme Court rulings.
Why are women attracted to weak or abusive men? Why do men use sex to degrade women? Why do people become homosexuals? What is the real cause of child abuse? What is the reason for marital infidelity? Why do men and women change roles? Why do you feel guilty after sex? "This is a daring book. Nothing is held back. It is perhaps the single most dynamic weapon available to counter the tremendously destructive influence of the raging sexual revolution sweeping the world. What Roy Masters is offering is nothing less than an inspired alternative between Victorian repression and 'Hippie' permissiveness." -William Wolf, Author of "Healers, Gurus and Spiritual Guides"
Hailed for its searing emotional insights, and for the astonishing originality with which it weaves together personal history, cultural essay, and readings of classical texts by Sophocles, Ovid, Euripides, and Sappho, The Elusive Embrace is a profound exploration of the mysteries of identity. It is also a meditation in which the author uses his own divided life to investigate the "rich conflictedness of things," the double lives all of us lead. Daniel Mendelsohn recalls the deceptively quiet suburb where he grew up, torn between his mathematician father's pursuit of scientific truth and the exquisite lies spun by his Orthodox Jewish grandfather; the streets of manhattan's newest "gay ghetto," where "desire for love" competes with "love of desire;" and the quiet moonlit house where a close friend's small son teaches him the meaning of fatherhood. And, finally, in a neglected Jewish cemetery, the author uncovers a family secret that reveals the universal need for storytelling, for inventing myths of the self. The book that Hilton Als calls "equal to Whitman's 'Song of Myself,'" The Elusive Embrace marks a dazzling literary debut.
In the richly woven tapestry of "Whispers of the Forgotten: Tales from the Shadows," readers are invited on a journey through the veils of time and memory, exploring the spaces between light and shadow, remembered and erased. This anthology unfolds in a series of tales that traverse otherworldly dimensions, forgotten histories, and the profound depths of the human psyche, revealing the cyclical dance of forgetting and remembering that defines our existence. From Leo's odyssey into realms beyond comprehension, where ancient truths of existence are unveiled, to Miriam's struggle against a conspiracy that seeks to silence the voices of history, each narrative thread is a testament to the resilience of the forgotten and the power of truth to emerge from the shadows. Through their journeys, the characters challenge the constructs of time and identity, embarking on quests not only for recognition but for a reclamation of legacy. "Whispers of the Forgotten" is an invitation to reflect on the nature of memory, the fabric of history, and the enduring spirit of those voices lost to time. It poses poignant questions about what it means to be remembered and the lengths to which one must go to ensure that no story, no matter how faintly whispered, is left in the darkness. As the stories of the forgotten ones unfold, readers are offered a glimpse into the potential for new understandings of the past and the role each of us plays in the narrative of history. This anthology is not merely a collection of tales but a beacon, illuminating the shadows of forgotten histories and inspiring a cycle of remembering that transcends the pages of the book. "Whispers of the Forgotten: Tales from the Shadows" beckons you to embark on a journey of discovery, to explore the echoes of the past that linger in the present, and to embrace the light found within the depths of the shadows.
Based on a study of V. S. Naipaul's postcolonial writings, this book explores the process of postcolonial subjects' special route of identification. This enables the readers to see how in our increasingly diverse and fragmented post-modern world, identity is a vibrant, complex, and highly controversial concept. The old notion of identity as a prescribed and self-sufficient entity is now replaced by identity as a plural, floating and becoming process. Min Zhou shows how postcolonial literature, among other artistic forms, is one of the most representative reflections of this floating identity.
