Friend on Freedom River by Gloria Whelan Pdf

In 1850 the Detroit River was a major track along the Underground Railroad -- the last step to freedom. The journey across the river was dangerous, especially in winter and especially for a 12-year-old boy. When Louis's father left him in charge of the farm he offered his son this advice, "If you don't know what to do, just do what you think I would have done." Louis relies upon his father's words of wisdom when a runaway slave and her two children come looking for safe passage. In the second title in our Tales of Young Americans series Gloria Whelan -- author of National Book Award winning Homeless Bird -- beautifully creates a suspenseful coming-of-age story while illuminating a difficult time in America's past. Ms. Whelan's narrative again shows the human spirit will forever shine brightly in dark times. Freedom River - part of our Young Americans series - will quickly become a favorite for its important message and look at history from a youngster's eye. Artist Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen - a Sleeping Bear Press favorite - treats the material as only he can. Each illustrated page demonstrates the same mastery and devotion to his craft as the young heroes he brings to life.

Desgraciado by Angel Dominguez Pdf

A collection of epistolary poems that exorcises and explores the material violence and generational trauma of colonization and systemic racism stored within queer Latinx memory. In DESGRACIADO, Angel Dominguez navigates a visceral constellation of language and memory, illuminating the ongoing impacts of misremembered and missing histories, and their lasting impacts. Dominguez unravels a critical and tender language of lived experience in letters addressed to their ancestral oppressor, Diego de Landa, (a Spanish friar who attempted to destroy the written Maya language in Mani Yucatán, on July 12th 1562), to articulate an old rage, dreaming of a futurity beyond the wreckage and ruin of the colonial imaginary. This collection doesn't seek to heal the incurable wound of colonization so much as attempt to re-articulate a language towards recuperation.

Green Green Green by Gillian Osborne Pdf

The color green is at the center of the spectrum. For earlier writers like Emily Dickinson or William Blake, the green world was a space of haunting, irreconcilable, opposites: life and death, human and vegetal, innocence and experience. In these essays, letters, repetitions, and experiments, poet and scholar Gillian Osborne adds a third, contemporary, term: the environment as both vital and ailing. This is nature writing outside of adventure or argument, ecological thinking as a space of shared homemaking: reading, writing, and living in vicinity with others.

The Road to Freedom III by Hiep Vo Pdf

The story is very strange to everybody, especially to the ones who have not lost the freedom. The readers would ask themselves, "Is it the real life story?" The Road to Freedom is too hard and risky. The dear price to pay for freedom is the life of the author and all the people who want to get there. The story is very attractive and amazes the reader from beginning to end. Kevin Dinh- Former captain ARVN. After reading your true story, "THE ROAD TO FREEDOM", I know that many times you were confronted with powerful, bad authorities and fearlessly faced danger to save or help weak and poor people. You have acted chivalrously; you can be proud, and we also can be proud of you. This story lets everyone know about a black period of Vietnam's history. San Jose, California, July 2, 2001. TOAN VO, Author's father. Many times, your unsubmissive, stubborn attitude may have endangered your life. Many parts of the story scare me to death. Viet Lien t Dinh Author's mother The past has been written into many interesting forms: politics, suspense, martial arts, poems, romantic, adventure, and artistic drawing.
