The Other Side of the World

Vision and Reality: Selected Reflections of India 44's Peace Corps Volunteers

By: Mary Jo Clark,Thomas Corbett,Haywood Turrentine

The Other Side of the World: Vision and Reality embraces and celebrates the experiences of idealistic, young Peace Corps volunteers as they confronted the ancient and enigmatic civilization of India four decades ago. Prompted by memories and emotions tapped during a gathering on the 40-year reunion of their return to the States, members of India 44 A&B provide reflections that are honest, compelling, insightful, riotous, humbling, and yet redemptive. These reflections give expression to feelings long repressed and, at the same time, uncover the mysterious ways in which their service in remote India transformed and redirected the trajectory of their lives. Their stories provide a humorous and deeply moving description of village life, where imperfect language skills and limited technical capabilities interacted with good intentions and stubborn dedication to produce embarrassment on the one hand, and the occasional minor miracle on the other. This is not a feel-good testimony to the Peace Corps on its golden anniversary. Rather, it is a sobering depiction of the lives of volunteers living in one of the Peace Corps' most demanding site countries, where frustrations and challenges were found in abundance. Yet at the end of the day, these stories generally attest to the wisdom of the Peace Corps concept, which affirms the powers of volunteerism and the giving of self. For many, it was the first time these volunteers had articulated their feelings since leaving India. Mary Jo Clark, Thomas Corbett, Michael Simonds and Haywood Turrentine compiled the book. Respectively, the authors reside in San Diego, California, Madison, Wisconsin, the greater Hartford area, and Birmingham, Alabama. http: //sbpra.com/HaywoodTurrentine

Return to the Other Side of the World

Further Reflections of India 44's Peace Corps Volunteers

By: Mary Jo Clark,Thomas Corbett,Haywood Turrentine

Return to the Other Side of the World takes us on another memorable journey to that enchanted and challenging culture that was India in the late 1960s. We return to that place and time when a group of Peace Corps volunteers responded to President Kennedy's call to work in foreign lands so the world might become a better place. In this second volume, the former volunteers of India 44 share what they experienced and felt as they tried to live out the assassinated president's noble ideal. In telling their stories, they bring us back to a turbulent period in American history, a decade of war and discontent at home, yet a time of hope and expectation for so many. A few found a way to seek and express the better angels of their natures. With more energy than skills, more hope than experience, these young men and women lived and worked in small villages and towns doing either agricultural development or public health. As with the first volume of reflections, this is not a feel-good testimony to the Peace Corps. The stories told, the memories retrieved, the feelings expressed are at times raw and revealing. They touch upon moments that are funny, sad, embarrassing, and occasionally uplifting. These are the stories of the India 44 volunteers as they share what undoubtedly remains an irreplaceable and transformative period in their lives. Mary Jo Clark, Thomas Corbett, Michael Simonds, Kathy Kelleher Sohn, and Haywood Turrentine compiled the second edition. Respectively, the authors reside in San Diego, California, Madison, Wisconsin, the greater Hartford area, Greensboro, North Carolina, and Birmingham, Alabama.
