North American Gaels by Natasha Sumner,Aidan Doyle Pdf

A mere 150 years ago Scottish Gaelic was the third most widely spoken language in Canada, and Irish was spoken by hundreds of thousands of people in the United States. A new awareness of the large North American Gaelic diaspora, long overlooked by historians, folklorists, and literary scholars, has emerged in recent decades. North American Gaels, representing the first tandem exploration of these related migrant ethnic groups, examines the myriad ways Gaelic-speaking immigrants from marginalized societies have negotiated cultural spaces for themselves in their new homeland. In the macaronic verses of a Newfoundland fisherman, the pointed addresses of an Ontario essayist, the compositions of a Montana miner, and lively exchanges in newspapers from Cape Breton to Boston to New York, these groups proclaim their presence in vibrant traditional modes fluently adapted to suit North American climes. Through careful investigations of this diasporic Gaelic narrative and its context, from the mid-eighteenth century to the twenty-first, the book treats such overarching themes as the sociolinguistics of minority languages, connection with one's former home, and the tension between the desire for modernity and the enduring influence of tradition. Staking a claim for Gaelic studies on this continent, North American Gaels shines new light on the ways Irish and Scottish Gaels have left an enduring mark through speech, story, and song.

In a series of thematically linked essays, experts from the fields of literature, history and cultural studies examine how Scotland remembers war, and how remembering war has shaped Scotland.

My Shadow Warrior by Jen Holling Pdf

Acclaimed author Jen Holling presents the stunning final novel in her sensual trilogy, set against the windswept hills of Scotland, about a trio of sisters with witchcraft -- and passion -- in their blood. Rose, the youngest of the MacDonell sisters, is more concerned with her father's mysterious illness than with her impending marriage to her childhood sweetheart. A gifted but frustrated healer, she decides to beg help from William MacKay -- a reclusive laird who is renowned not only for his ferocity, but also for his healing powers. Denied entry to his fortress in the cold, harsh mountains of the far northwestern highlands, Rose uses cunning to force her way in, and William is duly intrigued with this bold slip of a girl. But securing his help may not be enough to save Rose's father. For there is something darker at work in the glen, something more powerful than William's and Rose's magic combined, and only the soul-deep passion that shadows their mutual desire can help their love prevail.

When Vivian Black awakens in a coffin fifty years away from her earliest memories, that is only the beginning of the horror awaiting her. Soon she discovers she is a vampire wanted by a deadly, international cult of the undead‒the Shévet ha Dam, or Blood Tribe. Her pursuer? Joseph Cartaphilus, former doorkeeper to Pontius Pilate and the father of the vampire race. With a new, handsome friend Michael, a young vampire who has vowed to protect her, Vivian flees for her life. But nowhere is far enough for them to escape her past and the Shévet ha Dam. Blood Trials: Maysun, keeper of the world's spiritual balance, has passed her gift to her lover, Eoghan, but she may have acted too soon. If the leader of the malevolent global vampire tribe, the Shévet ha dam, discovers Maysun's child, Sana, he may use her ability to resist the vampire curse to tip the global balance of power in his favor. Sana lives half her life awake and taunted by haunting voices, the other half in a shadowy world scarcely remembered. Unaware that the voices are vampires hiding in plain sight, tracking her every move, Sana believes she teeters on the edge of insanity. Vampire Vivian Black must use her power from the Source to find Sana before the Shévet ha dam. With the help of new friends wielding unusual supernatural gifts, Vivian again finds herself in the global fight to keep the world from becoming overrun by darkness.

But it's not just Lukas that Michael must worry about. A new curse courses through his veins, one with roots in the Maleficence. His craving for blood is now matched by an appetite for meat. The living kind. It's a battle for the ultimate victory against the Maleficence, and the vampires fighting the Shévet ha Dam have never faced such insurmountable obstacles.
