Hey, White Girl!

By: Susan Gregory

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This book relates the story of a young white student - not a teacher - in a ghetto school. The viewpoint is significant because it is a white student speaking from a seat in the classroom, not a teacher speaking from his position of authority - a white student witnessing the shaping (both destructive and constructive) of the self-images of her friends. Susan Gregory's account is simple, honest, young. But its message - a call for greater understanding between the races - has no age barrier. She is now a student at Kalamazoo College in Michigan.

The Fiction of Rushdie, Barnes, Winterson and Carter

Breaking Cultural and Literary Boundaries in the Work of Four Postmodernists

By: Gregory J. Rubinson

Literature often reflects societal change, but it can also effect change by inspiring people to think in new ways. Four authors who encourage readers to question traditional boundaries are Salman Rushdie, Julian Barnes, Jeanette Winterson and Angela Carter. This book takes an in-depth look at the works of these authors with specific emphasis on how they challenge religion (especially in its fundamentalist forms) and its intersections with history, politics, gender and sexuality. The study notes both differences and similarities among the four authors, whose writings broadly represent the major themes in contemporary British literature. Divided into two primary sections, the volume first takes a look at Rushdie and Barnes and their stance regarding historical and political issues. The second section concentrates on gender and sexuality in the writings of Winterson and Carter. Among the works examined are Rushdie's The Satanic Verses and Midnight's Children; Barnes' Flaubert's Parrot and A History of the World in 10 1⁄2 Chapters; Winterson's Boating for Beginners and Written on the Body; and Carter's The Passion of New Eve and Heroes and Villains. The final chapter includes a brief survey of other significant figures in postmodern British literature, including Martin Amis, Ian McEwan, D.M. Thomas, Fay Weldon and Emma Tennant.

50/50: Finding Life's Balance for All Human Beings

By: Gregory L. Doctor

Has your life ever felt out of balance? Has it ever seemed to you that society is imbalanced, with racial and economic disparities unfairly affecting people's lives-and maybe even your own? More importantly, in the face of these inequalities, where can you turn for answers and solutions? In 50/50: Finding Life's Balance for All Human Beings, author Gregory L. Doctor explores the history of social inequality and oppression, sharing his own story and showing you how to discover that there is something more to your life. God has a message for you, and by listening to this valuable lesson, you can learn how to be your brother's keeper and live powerfully and in balance. The key is to embrace the fifty-fifty rule: be a well-informed learner for one part of your life, but become a knowledgeable teacher for the other half. By blending the two together, you can live a completely balanced life and be in a position to help someone younger live a complete and balanced life too.

Assassination Cry of a Failed Revolution

The Truth About Dr. Walter Rodney's Death

By: William Gregory Smith,Anne R. Wagner

This gripping account of William Gregory Smith aka Cyril Johnson is indicative of twenty-five years of deception, abuse of power and character assassination by the Working People Alliance (WPA). This brutally honest book exposes the WPA in the web of Lies and Betrayal. My brother, William Gregory Smith, did not seek out Dr. Walter Rodney and the WPA. They sought him for his brilliance in the field of electronics. The resulting alliance led to the loss of a brilliant mind and son of Guyana. It will become quite clear after reading this account, that once can safely conclude that history, as we know it, is not always accurate.
