Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - To portray the issues and crises of a Diaspora culture in East Africa is one thing, but to write about them using the tools of various genres is quite another. Pally Dhillon has written a story about the clash of divergent cultures, of diametrically opposed religious beliefs, of the political and social struggles of a man who journeyed across the Indian Ocean to help build a life, a family, and a society. Kijabe is an impressive effort. Borrowing devices from popular genres--from murder mysteries and love stories, from political thrillers, Dhillon tells the story of his grandfather, a poor Sikh emigrant who went to Kenya to work for the railroad industry, operated by the British at the beginning of the twentieth century.Kijabe is the fictional account of Dhillon s life-long research into the life of his ancestor. The history and culture underscoring the narrative greatly enrich the reader s experience and keep the story from falling into the trappings of genre fiction.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Virginiad' is history in poetry. Completely original, it explores Virginia from 1607 to the present day as it unravels themes such as the fight for religious liberty and freedom of speech; the expansion of the frontier; the Revolution, Civil War, and Civil Rights struggles; and the fight for democracy. This is poetry at its extraordinary best. It lives, it breathes, it dances! It is also very good history - as seen through the eyes of ordinary folk: slaves, Native Americans, tenant farmers, peddlers, nurses, and clerks. It follows the history of great houses and communities, of industries and crafts, and peeks at our national heroes as others might have viewed them. The poetry mixes songs, cultural customs, religious awakenings, social beliefs, and political movements to present a far wider context for the history of Virginia than usual. This 2nd Edition, along with many other improvements, has an Index and is in a larger font.
