This work, however, moves far beyond blaming the victimizer. The criminalization of the Black American male is a psycholpolitically engineered process designed to maintain the dependency and relative powerlessness of the Afrikan-American and Pan-Afrikan communities. The main thesis of this book is that the operational existence of Black-on-Black violence in the United States is psychologically and economically mandated by the White American-dominated status quo. The psychodynamics of the Black-on-Black criminal are presented here with a depth and clarity rarely seen before. Its explanatory perspectives on the sociopsychological and politicoeconomic causes of Black-on-Black Violence are exceptionally insightful, incisive and iconoclastic. This book represents a distinct milestone in criminology and Afrikan Studies. In this gripping book, discover the passion, cruelty and heroism of these unforgettable stories. The Norse myths are as thrilling to read as they are of vast cultural and historical importance. You'll discover how Thor got his hammer and how Odin lost his eye, the terrible price of binding the wolf Fenrir and why Loki the Trickster can never be trusted. 2018 by Kevin Crossley-Holland (Author) 1,089 ratings See all formats and editions Kindle Edition 5.99 Read with Our Free App Hardcover from 10.23 4 Used from 10.23 Paperback 10.95 4 Used from 8.82 16 New from 9.

'Burning ice, biting flame that is how life began' THE DEFINITIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE RETELLING OF NORSE MYTHOLOGY Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Here is a Nobel laureate coming from much the same background as Mitza, making her. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. I found the scene between Madame Curie and Mitza particularly effective. Most twenty-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. It is the story of Einstein’s wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated and may have been inspired by her own profound and very personal insight. 49 minutes ago &0183 &32 Those words, written by the German-Jewish poet Heinrich Heine in 1820, became a horrifying reality in Nazi Germany. Poe, The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einstein’s enormous shadow.

She also finds herself increasingly drawn to Mohan, an Indian man she meets while on assignment. While Meena’s fate hangs in the balance, Smita tries in every way she can to right the scales. As she follows the case of Meena-a Hindu woman attacked by members of her own village and her own family for marrying a Muslim man-Smita comes face to face with a society where tradition carries more weight than one’s own heart, and a story that threatens to unearth the painful secrets of Smita’s own past. Indian American journalist Smita has returned to India to cover a story, but reluctantly: long ago she and her family left the country with no intention of ever coming back. I was enthralled with this book and found myself contemplating the social issues of intolerance and corruption as well as the harsh realness and reality that Umrigar is mirroring in Honor. Smita is an Indian American journalist who returns to her birthplace of India and is thrust into the world of India that she and her family had tried to move past. Honor by Thrity Umrigar was such an immersive novel taking you into the world of two different Indias – one, bustling and modernizing Mumbai, and the other, Birwad, a rural town experiencing discrimination of the minority Muslim population.

Unfortunately this does not seem to throw the Germans off the scent one evening, a man who lives in Hannay's building is murdered, and a couple of days after that, Hannay returns home to his flat to find that Hannay too has been murdered, stabbed in he heart. He tells of a group of Germans chasing him, and Hannay offers to allow him to stay at his flat for a little while. Scudder elaborates and tells Hannay that he is a freelance spy and has faked his own death in order to be able to conduct his investigations more safely. He tells Hannay that he is actually dead, which of course intrigues Hannay, because it is not often one finds oneself talking to a dead man. Scudder is an American who is convinced that the world is about to erupt into war. He is gregarious and talks to strangers in passing, but one seems to attach himself more than the average casual acquaintance. There is talk of war in Europe it is May, 1914, and Richard Hannay, a Scot, is starting afresh in London after time spent in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).
