Описание:
"I have had the honor of knowing the writer of this book my entire life. I have seen how her issues affected her in every aspect of her life. Others thought she was a mean and rude person who didn't care. But, I have seen her silent tears, hurts, and pain that others could not see. I've heard her heart and seen past the exterior walls that others didn't notice. I encourage you to embrace the raw and uncut experiences that Debrea is now sharing with the world. It will truly bless your soul and free your mind and heart from those experiences that have had you bound for years." Yolanda Priddy
Min. Debrea Howard's childhood was the epitome of traumatic. Emotional and physical abuse. Parental kidnapping. Adulterous and abusive relationships. Promiscuity and loss of self. Chilling at times; heartbreaking at others; and even enraging. Jackson shares her story with a breath of bravery that each reader will take in with her. Through the power of forgiveness, reconciliation with truth and believing her life held more - she lived to tell the story.

Описание:
Weaving through African American music, folklore, and mores, A Newark Childhood is a coming-of-age story that journeys from the author's years in kindergarten through high school graduation. It covers the period from 1948 to 1961 when he heads off to college. During this period, he struggles to find his place in an environment that at every turn explicitly questions; even resents the legitimacy of a colored/Negro/black boy's existence. His Clay Street tenement is perilously located in the North Ward of Newark, NJ just on the fringes of Little Italy. With eager anticipation, we follow along as he informs us how his uncle's benign intervention saved him from being aborted. He tells us of his memories of his Christian Scientist mother and her attempts to teach him survival skills by both word and deed.
We witness how he applies these skills to survive physical confrontations with Italian boys as he and his younger brother take their lives into their own hands every time they have to walk through Little Italy to get to the swimming pool. Ironically, he is confident in his world despite its intersection with Little Italy because he knows what to expect. But he is uneasy and feels inferior as he ventures into Jewish neighborhoods and neighborhoods of "regular" white people. That fear is conflated with envy as he watches the "fake" white people on TV and in the movies. When he has a brutal fistfight with a fellow student, he imagines himself a white-hatted, white cowboy as he pummels the unfortunate bully who had referred to his girlfriend as a "bitch."

Описание: Tendol Namling turned 60 in March 2019. She was born at the time when the Dalai Lama fled from Lhasa and the uprising of his people by the Chinese Peoples Army was brutally suppressed. She has lived for 22 years under Chinese rule. As the daughter of a high government official, she underwent the ordeal of re-education with full force. All she has kept from these years are painful memories and some crumpled photographs. They show her with her friends and cousins in Lhasa, smiling as if nothing had happened. When Tendol turned 10 her brother was arrested and her mother sentenced to ten years in prison. Tendol was sent to work in road construction for several years. At the age of 20 she was allowed to start an apprenticeship as motor mechanic. Thanks to the efforts of her family in exile, Tendol was able to leave Tibet in 1982. After twenty years of hardship she landed in prosperous Switzerland. It felt as if she had to start her life all over again. She struggled but she never gave up. She founded a family and a business and reconciled herself with the painful past. In Tendols words, this little book is dedicated to all the Tibetans who continue to rebel against the Chinese occupation.
