Offspring of the Metros - An Exploration of the Peculiar Lives of Children Born to Immigrants in the United States

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

Offspring of the Metros: An Exploration of the Peculiar Lives of Children Born to Immigrants in the United States is a poignant and inspiring narrative that delves into the lives of children born to immigrant families in America's urban centers. Through their eyes, we witness the complexities of growing up in a country that is both a land of opportunity and a place of uncertainty.

This book is a testament to the strength and resilience of these children, capturing their unique experiences and struggles as they navigate a world often unfamiliar and challenging. We follow their journey from the moment their families arrive in the United States, uprooted from their native lands and embarking on a quest for a better life. We witness the challenges of resettlement, the pain of separation from loved ones, and the struggle to find a place where they truly belong.

Caught between two worlds, these children grapple with the tension between preserving their cultural heritage and assimilating into American society. They face the hurdle of the language barrier, which hinders their ability to communicate and connect with their peers. Yet, they persevere, driven by an unwavering determination to succeed.

Despite the challenges, the allure of the city beckons them with promises of opportunity and a better life. They find solace in the vibrant immigrant communities that dot the urban landscape, which provide a sense of belonging and support. We witness their struggles and triumphs—their successes in school, their contributions to American society as doctors, lawyers, engineers, and artists, and their unwavering pursuit of the American dream.

Offspring of the Metros is a story of hope and determination, of the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity and to thrive in the face of challenge. It is a story that reminds us of the invaluable contributions that immigrants make to our nation, and it calls for a more just and welcoming society for all.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in immigration, urban life, and the experiences of children from diverse backgrounds. It is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of opportunity.

NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES (NDE) -...

Hatem Helmy

269 Astonishing and true documented Near-Death Experiences that will forever change the way you see life—and what comes after 
Near-Death Experiences are not hallucinations, nor are they the fading sparks of a dying brain. They are real, documented events that continue to challenge everything we thought we knew about life, death, and consciousness. 
Consider this: a woman who had been blind since birth—who had never seen light, color, or even darkness—suddenly described the precise details of her husband’s appearance and the wedding ring he wore, after returning from a Near-Death Experience. For the first time in her life, she truly saw.

Why I Care: And why care matters

Sir Ed Davey

A deeply personal account of life as a carer and a call to support those who care for others
'Ed Davey wants to rewrite British politics – not with the language of crisis, but that of care. … He offers something rare – moral clarity rooted in lived experience.' Guardian
'Caring is how we know we’re alive.
The good in all of us has been shaped by care. Hold a mirror up to that, and we’ll realise our potential.'
Care is the thread that runs through Ed’s life. Aged only four, Ed lost his father. When his mother also became ill with cancer, Ed and his brothers nursed her at home until she died when Ed was just 15. That formative experience was one of the main inspirations in seeking election, and with it the opportunity to take action. Now, he and his wife care for their son John, who has severe physical and learning disabilities, as well as raising their younger daughter. So Ed has real knowledge of the emotional, physical and financial challenges faced by legions of carers in Britain today.
Why I Care is both a deeply personal story, drawing on Ed’s own experiences, and a book that reflects the stories of people everywhere to offer a vision of change. Shedding light on the often-invisible world of carers, he calls for society, our government and our institutions to recognise, support, and lift up the silent carers who form the backbone of our communities.
This isn’t just Ed’s story. It's the story of millions.
In Why I Care, Sir Ed Davey, a prominent political figure, delves into the pressing issues of health and welfare in our society. His autobiography is not just a personal narrative, but a call to action for policy changes and better public services.

Teaching to Live - Black...

Almeda M. Wright

Teaching to Live: Black Religion, Activist-Educators, and Radical Social Change interrogates the stories of African American activist-educators whose faith convictions inspired them to educate in radical and transformative ways. Almeda M. Wright explores the connections between religion, education, and struggles for freedom within twentieth-century African American communities by telling the stories of key African American teachers. 
 
 
 
Wright brings together the lives and work of three related subgroups of activist-educators: those who worked in public or secular education but were religiously inspired; radical scholars who transformed the ways that Black religion and Black religious life are studied and valued; and radical religious educators, or those educators who were involved more formally with the religious formation of Black people but who regarded this work of spiritual development as part of the struggle for freedom and liberation of all people. 
 
 
 
The rich and complex narratives of these educators show how religion, education, and radical social change can intersect. This book invites listeners to continue exploring how these concepts will evolve for future generations of activist-educators.
