Cesar Chavez and the New American Revolution

In the summer of 1968 Peter Matthiessen met Cesar Chavez for the first time. They were the same age: forty-one. Matthiessen lived in New York City while Chavez lived in Sal Si Puedes, the San Jose barrio where his career as a union organizer took off. This book is Matthiessen's panoramic yet finely detailed account of the three years he spent traveling and working with Chavez. In it, Matthiessen provides a candid look into the many sides of this enigmatic and charismatic leader who lived by the laws of nonviolence.

More than thirty years later, Sal Si Puedes is less reportage than living history. A whole era comes alive in its pages: the Chicano, Black Power, and antiwar movements; the browning of the labor movement; Chavez's series of hunger strikes; the nationwide boycott of California grapes. When Chavez died in 1993, thousands gathered at his funeral. It was a clear sign of how beloved he was, how important his life had been.

A new postscript by the author brings the reader up to date as to the events that have unfolded since the writing of Sal Si Puedes. Ilan Stavans's insightful foreword considers the significance of Chavez's legacy for our time. As well as serving as an indispensable guide to the 1960s, this book rejuvenates the extraordinary vitality of Chavez's life and spirit, giving his message a renewed and much-needed urgency.

The Origins of Our Discontents

In this young adult adaptation of the Oprah Book Club selection and New York Times bestselling nonfiction work, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson explores the unspoken hierarchies that divide us across lines of race and class. Revealing and timely, this work will speak to young people who are engaged more than ever with the world around them, or to anyone who believes in a more just existence for all.

Readers will be fascinated by this young adult adaptation of the New York Times bestselling nonfiction work as they follow masterful narratives about real people that reveal an insidious phenomenon in the United States: a hidden caste system. Caste is not only about race or class; it is about power--which groups have it and which do not. Isabel Wilkerson explores historical social hierarchies, including those in India and Nazi Germany, and explains how perpetuating these rankings dehumanizes vast sections of society. Once we learn the reasons behind caste and see the often heartbreaking effects, Wilkerson says, we can bridge the divides and make way for an inclusive future where we are all equal.

A Treasury of American Folklore and Folk Songs

FROM THE SHORES of the Atlantic Ocean to the waters of the Pacific, America overflows with a rich multicultural heritage. Through story and song, this landmark treasury celebrates and explores our unique nation and its folklore. More than 140 American folktales, folk songs, poems, and essays, placed in historical context, are brought together with over 300 original illustrations by some of today's most distinguished artists. From Native-American creation myths to stories told by the first wave of immigrants that followed Columbus; from the tales of the American Revolution to those of the settlers of Appalachia; from the days of the great waterways to those of the Iron Horse; from the tragedies of slavery to the trials and triumphs of the westward movement, readers are invited to experience the sights and the sounds, the challenges and the catastrophes, and the ebullient passions of the multitudes who were drawn to this continent by the promise of a better future. And there's more. Trickster tales, nonsense songs, tall tales, baseball lore, and ghost stories celebrate the country's playful spirit. And a grand finale pays a moving tribute to the folklore being made in our own time. Extensively researched and documented, From Sea to Shining Sea paints a sweeping portrait of our nation, and offers every American family a piece of it - its stories, its songs, its promise. Here is the folklore that belongs to us all - here is all that makes us American.

Sufiya Abdur-Rahman

Maryland

"From age five, Sufiya Abdur-Rahman, the daughter of two Black Power-era converts to Islam, feels drawn to the faith even as her father, a devoted Muslim, introduces her to and, at the same time, distances her from it. He and her mother abandoned their Harlem mosque before she was born and divorced when she was twelve. Forced apart from her father--her portal into Islam--she yearns to reconnect with the religion and, through it, him. In Heir to the Crescent Moon, Abdur-Rahman's longing to comprehend her father's complicated relationship with Islam leads her first to recount her own history with it. Later, as she seeks to discover what both pulled her father to and pushed him from the mosque and her mother, Abdur-Rahman delves into the past. She journeys from the Christian righteousness of Adam Clayton Powell Jr.'s 1950s Harlem, through the Malcolm X-inspired college activism of the late 1960s, to the unfulfilled potential of the early-'70s' black American Muslim movement. When a painful reminder of the reason for her father's inconsistent ties to his former mosque appears to threaten his life, Abdur-Rahman's search nearly ends. She's forced to come to terms with her Muslim identity, and learns how events from generations past can reverberate through the present. Told, at times, with lighthearted humor or heartbreaking candor, Abdur-Rahman's story of adolescent Arabic lessons, fasting, and Muslim mosque, funeral, and eid services speaks to the challenges of bridging generational and cultural divides and what it takes to maintain family amidst personal and societal upheaval. Writing with quiet beauty but intellectual force about identity, community, violence, hope, despair, and faith, Abdur-Rahman weaves a vital tale about a family: black, Muslim, and distinctly American"--

Gish Jen

Great popular book by a respected and very readable Chinese American author. Increasingly taught in schools and colleges. Book is in perfect unread condition. 

From the beloved author of Mona in the Promised Land and The Love Wife comes this comic masterpiece, an insightful novel of immigrants experiencing the triumphs and trials of American life.

 

Gish Jen reinvents the American immigrant story through the Chang family, who first come to the United States with no intention of staying. When the Communists assume control of China in 1949, though, Ralph Chang, his sister Theresa, and his wife Helen, find themselves in a crisis. At first, they cling to their old-world ideas of themselves.  But as they begin to dream the American dream of self-invention, they move poignantly and ironically from people who disparage all that is "typical American" to people who might be seen as typically American themselves. With droll humor and a deep empathy for her characters, Gish Jen creates here a superbly engrossing story that resonates with wit and wisdom even as it challenges the reader to reconsider what a typical American might be today.

"Clay Walls weaves the complex threads of Korean culture into the tapestry of American society while telling the story of the early Korean immigrants, who arrived in Los Angeles in the decade prior to World War II, and of their American born children. Haesu, a yangban of the nobility class, is betrothed against her wishes to Chun, a farmer's son. Bound not by love but by tradition, she follows him to America where they begin their life together. Born in a land where class defines one's status, Haesu's rank in the United States is acknowledged only by her fellow Koreans. Servility is anathema to her and she fiercely resists the slights she experiences in California. Chun, on the other hand, embodies the Taoist mentality. "If you want muddy waters to become clear, you have to lie still." he tells Haesu. He seeks no affirmation of his wotth from strangers, wanting it only from his resentful wife. These two irreconcilable strains of Eastern tradition, personified in Haesu and Chun, are treated as one by a disinterested America which fails to distinguish one Asian immigrant from another. Within the walls of their home, however, the Chuns wage unrelenting warfare over their differences. It remains for their children, born in the United States, to integrate these conflicts and, ultimately, find their place in the new World."--from jacket flap.

An Anatomy of Race and Belonging

Interrogating our ideas of race through the lens of her own multi-racial identity, novelist Tessa McWatt turns her eye on herself, her body and this world in a new work of non-fiction. Through a close examination of her own body - nose, lips, hair, skin, eyes, ass, bones and blood - which holds up a mirror to the way culture reads all bodies, she asks why we persist in thinking in terms of race today when racism is killing us

A passionate interest and a lifetime spent seeking out the world's finest ethnic jewelry has contributed to making the Ghysels collection one of the premier collections of its kind in the world. Jean-Pierre and Colette Ghysels have indulged their passion indiscriminately, according as much attention to ethnographic objects as to extraordinary pieces of ethnic jewelry. They are guided by a single criterion: the quality that gives rise to beauty, a strict standard indeed, but one made possible by their longstanding familiarity with #ethnic objects. A vast array of hair combs, pins, jewelry made to be woven into braids, nose rings, lip plugs, forehead ornaments and other related objects made out of the most diverse materials, many never before seen, are presented in beautifully composed #photographs. The book is divided into geographical sections and includes 200 annotated photographs, a glossary, an index, maps, and a general bibliography. The author's #essay describes the uses and meaning of the objects in different cultures and emphasizes the originality of the pieces.

-: THE BEST OF:-KASHMIRI COOKING

Kashmiri cooking has raised culinary art to such a high level of sophistication that it has acquired an exotic, almost legendary, reputation.

Good food has always served to brighten the life of the Kashmiris - specially when they are forced to remain confined indoors during long cold winters - for it is not only necessary for life, but also one sure way of providing sparkle on the dreariest of days. In the process great care is taken to plan and prepare a meal and a great deal of social activity revolves around the meal which includes mutton, chicken, fish, wild fowl and all the vegetables and fruits which grow abundantly in Kashmir and have a delicate natural flavour unmatched in the world.

One the most striking aspects of Kashmiri cooking is the great variety a range it offers for all seasons and occasions. Even the humbles vegetables is transformed into a delicacy through the subtle use of spices.


Kashmiri dishes are considered the height of gourmet Indian cuisine. The North Indian region's delicately spiced kebabs, famed lamb curries and tender vegetable dishes have acquired an almost legendary reputation. Traditional ingredients include mutton, chicken, fish, wild fowl, and all the fruits and vegetables, such as apples, lotus root, eggplant and morels, for which Kashmir is famed. Create such delectable and subtly flavored treats as Pumpkin Chutney, Lamb Curry, Tomato Eggplant Curry, and Water-Chestnut Flour Cookies. Chapters included are Wazawan Delicacies, Non-Vegetarian Specialties of Kashmiri Pandits, Vegetarian Food, Everyday Non-Vegetarian Food, Fish and Fowl Dishes, Rice, Desserts, Beverages, Snacks and Tea-time Savories, Chutneys and Pickles, and Spice Cakes. With nearly 90 recipes and 12 pages of color photographs, this cookbook is a wonderful introduction to one of India's most famed culinary traditions. All recipes have been adapted for the North American kitchen.

Understanding Ethnic Conflict provides all the key concepts needed to understand conflict among ethnic groups. Including approaches from both comparative politics and international relations, this text offers a model of ethnic conflict's internationalization by showing how domestic and international actors influence a country's ethnic and sectarian divisions. Illustrating this model in five original case studies, the unique combination of theory and application in Understanding Ethnic Conflict facilitates more critical analysis of contemporary ethnic conflicts and the world's response to them.
