Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

In the heart of the American Revolution, South Carolina emerged as a beacon of defiance, a state where the flames of liberty burned brightest. From the bustling streets of Charleston to the remote frontier settlements of the backcountry, South Carolinians from all walks of life rallied to the cause of independence.

This book tells the forgotten story of South Carolina's pivotal role in the Revolutionary War. Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, it brings to life the heroes and heroines who shaped the course of history, from the daring exploits of Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, to the resilience of the Cherokee Nation in the face of overwhelming odds.

South Carolina was a hotbed of revolutionary fervor from the very beginning. Its citizens were among the first to take up arms against British rule, and they fought with unwavering determination throughout the long and bloody war. The state's strategic location made it a key battleground, and its people endured untold hardships as the conflict raged around them.

From the opening shots fired at Fort Moultrie to the final surrender at Yorktown, South Carolina's Revolutionary War story is one of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to the cause of liberty. This book is an inspiring tribute to the state's proud heritage and a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.

Uncover the untold stories of South Carolina's Revolutionary War heroes, from the brave soldiers who fought on the front lines to the ordinary citizens who made extraordinary sacrifices. Witness the state's transformation from a British colony to a beacon of independence, and explore the lasting impact of the war on the state and the nation as a whole.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, the Revolutionary War, or the rich heritage of South Carolina. It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by our ancestors in the pursuit of freedom and a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.

In Mahabharata Lord Krishna had also worshipped Lord Ganesh. They have become the role models to the whole world. Before the beginning of any work it is common to worship Lord Ganesh. There are many Holy hymns on Lord Ganesh. Lord Ganesh’s favorite food is modak. 
He gets pleased if we offer Durva grass to him. He also loves red Hibiscus flower. He is called the vighnaharta because he wards off all the obstacles in our life. He is also called vighnaraja. There are infinite names to Lord Ganesh which we cannot explain. He ties a snake around his waist.

Aung San Suu Kyi: Politician...

Wendy Law-Yone

POLITICIAN • PRISONER • PARENT
A portrait of one of the most charismatic, but unknown, world leaders
Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and crusader for democracy
in Myanmar, is once again behind bars. Her resounding victory at the polls, and re-election to office as civilian head of state, were overturned by the February 2021 military coup – a move with ruinous consequences.
Aung San Suu Kyi has been here before. The first half of her political career was spent under house arrest. But this time she has been disappeared into prison in Naypyidaw, following an array of charges clearly calculated to keep her out of politics and out of sight for the rest of her life. This time she is caught in a zero-sum game.
Once deified by the international community for her advocacy of democracy and human rights, yet later vilified for her denial of the Burmese military’s genocidal campaign against the Rohingya, Aung San Suu Kyi’s image survives largely untarnished within Myanmar. Her supporters refer to her as ‘Amay Suu’ (Mother Suu). Heir to the political and spiritual legacy of her father, General Aung San, independence hero and martyr, she remains the lodestar of nationalist aspirations, and matriarch for a nation in distress.
This book tracks Aung San Suu Kyi’s transformation from daughter of a national hero to materfamilias of Myanmar, placing her firmly within the context of the Burmese Buddhist notions of nationhood and motherhood and explaining her continuing role as the figurehead of the nation’s struggles. The result is a unique portrait of a living legend, rendered by a compatriot and contemporary, the novelist Wendy Law-Yone.
POLITICIAN
Decades spent spearheading the fight for democracy in Myanmar – following her father Aung San’s legacy as founder of the modern Burmese nation.
PRISONER
Having already spent half
her political career under house arrest, in December 2022, Aung San Suu Kyi
was sentenced to 33 years
in prison.
PARENT
To her exiled family and
a nation.
Wendy Law-Yone's non-fiction biography of Aung San Suu Kyi offers a deep dive into the history of Southeast Asia. It's a top choice for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the 21st century's political climate.
For fans of Helen Czerski (Blue Machine), Peter Frankopan (The First Crusade), Katja Hoyer (Beyond the Wall), Rory Stewart (The Places In Between), and Oliver Bullough (The Last Man in Russia).

Thinning Blood - A Memoir of...

Leah Myers

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by The Millions 
 
 
 
Leah Myers may be the last member of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe in her family line, due to her tribe's strict blood quantum laws. In this unflinching and intimate memoir, Myers excavates the stories of four generations of women in order to leave a record of her family. Beginning with her great-grandmother, the last full-blooded Native member in their lineage, she connects each woman with her totem to construct her family's totem pole: protective Bear, defiant Salmon, compassionate Hummingbird, and perched on top, Raven. 
 
 
 
As she pieces together their stories, Myers weaves in tribal folktales, the history of the Native genocide, and Native mythology. She tells the larger story of how, as she puts it, her "culture is being bleached out," offering sharp vignettes of her own life between White and Native worlds: her naïve childhood love for Pocahontas, her struggles with the Klallam language, the violence she faced at the hands of a close White friend as a teenager. 
 
 
 
Crisp and powerful, Thinning Blood is at once a bold reclamation of one woman's identity and a searingly honest meditation on heritage, family, and what it means to belong.
