DOWNLOAD EBOOKHenry Kong takes on the clash of cultures in a nuanced study of what it means to be Asian American. Underlying the prejudices and misunderstandings that Asian-Americans face are deeper issues of alienation and belonging. For many, being Asian in the West is to be caught in between, rather than being both at the same time. Chink provides a provocative perspective on the genetic and cultural basis of racial identity by focusing on issues such as: Are Asians smarter, less innovative, or more feminine than other races? How hurtful is affirmative action to Asian American students? How hurtful is the absence affirmative action to Asian American athletes and actors? Why are there so many more Asian female-white male couples than Asian male-white female couples? What exactly is the biological validity of race? As America seeks to come to terms with its long-held prejudices, the topic of Asian Americans seems to fall by the wayside. This book offers a critical and much needed look at a neglected topic.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe beautiful light-haired, blue-eyed Sylvia Bailey -- married at 19, and already a widow at 25 -- is enjoying life on her own in Paris. She even carries with her a symbol of the freedom she feels: a string of pearls -- a superb necklace she wears nearly everywhere she goes . . . Yet those pearls will take her to the brink of disaster -- and propel her new, dear friend well beyond! Lowndes (1868-1947), sister to Hilaire Belloc, wrote both historical novels and murder mysteries, with The Chink in the Armor ranking among her finest.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe method and plan of this dictionary of Jamaican English are basically the same as those of the Oxford English Dictionary, but oral sources have been extensively tapped in addition to detailed coverage of literature published in or about Jamaica since 1655. It contains information about the Caribbean and its dialects, and about Creole languages and general linguistic processes. Entries give the pronounciation, part-of-speach and usage of labels, spelling variants, etymologies and dated citations, as well as definitions. Systematic indexing indicates the extent to which the lexis is shared with other Caribbean countries.
