| reading rainbow 2008: Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters John Steptoe, 1987-03-31 Mufaro was a happy man. Everyone agreed that his two daughters were very beautiful. Nyasha was kind and considerate as well as beautiful, but everyone -- except Mufaro -- knew that Manyara was selfish, badtempered, and spoiled. When the king decided to take a wife and invited The Most Worthy and Beautiful Daughters in the Land to appear before him, Mufaro declared proudly that only the king could choose between Nyasha and Manyara. Manyara, of course, didn't agree, and set out to make certain that she would be chosen. John Steptoe has created a memorable modem fable of pride going before a fall, in keeping with the moral of the folktale that was his inspiration. He has illustrated it with stunning paintings that glow with the beauty, warmth, and internal vision of the land and people of his ancestors. |

| reading rainbow 2008: The Rainbow Has No Pink Hamish Hoosen Pillay, 2008 The grandson of a prominent apartheid military doctor is kidnapped and murdered. The severed testicles of the grandson are sent to the grandfather as a message—a message that reminds the retired doctor of his past involvement at 1 Military Hospital. The body of a transsexual man is found, shot through the head execution style, on a deserted beach in Port Elizabeth. A transsexual woman is found mutilated and near death in her high-security flat in Hatfield, Pretoria. Ayesha Mansoor is an investigator for the Special Investigations Unit, a high-profile crime-fighting unit whose task it is to investigate significant cases. When Ayesha gets an early morning phone call from the Director of the Unit to come to a gruesome crime scene in Hatfield, nothing prepares Ayesha for returning to her role as a lead investigator in the job that cost her her marriage. The plot ends in a tragic twist which reflects the current state of South Africa, its legal system and our views on what constitutes a victim. A tale of revenge, acceptance, pain and weight of expectance from our families and society. This book is loosely based on alleged transgender operations that took place under the former South African Defence Force from the 1970s to the mid 1980s. |
| reading rainbow 2008: Well Met Rachel Lee Rubin, 2014-02-22 The Renaissance Faire—a 50 year-long party, communal ritual, political challenge and cultural wellspring—receives its first sustained historical attention with Well Met. Beginning with the chaotic communal moment of its founding and early development in the 1960s through its incorporation as a major “family friendly” leisure site in the 2000s, Well Met tells the story of the thinkers, artists, clowns, mimes, and others performers who make the Faire. Well Met approaches the Faire from the perspective of labor, education, aesthetics, business, the opposition it faced, and the key figures involved. Drawing upon vibrant interview material and deep archival research, Rachel Lee Rubin reveals the way the faires established themselves as a pioneering and highly visible counter cultural referendum on how we live now—our family and sexual arrangements, our relationship to consumer goods, and our corporate entertainments. In order to understand the meaning of the faire to its devoted participants,both workers and visitors, Rubin has compiled a dazzling array of testimony, from extensive conversations with Faire founder Phyllis Patterson to interviews regarding the contemporary scene with performers, crafters, booth workers and “playtrons.” Well Met pays equal attention what came out of the faire—the transforming gifts bestowed by the faire’s innovations and experiments upon the broader American culture: the underground press of the 1960s and 1970s, experimentation with “ethnic” musical instruments and styles in popular music, the craft revival, and various forms of immersive theater are all connected back to their roots in the faire. Original, intrepid, and richly illustrated, Well Met puts the Renaissance Faire back at the historical center of the American counterculture. |

| reading rainbow 2008: Doing Environmental Ethics Robert Traer, 2019-08-28 Doing Environmental Ethics explains how we may transform our fossil-fuel-burning economy, which continues to intensify our ecological crisis, into a circular and ecological economy. The text resists political corruption and personal greed by gleaning ethical insights from our philosophical and religious cultures and by embracing the scientific Gaia hypothesis for the Earth. Its reasoning ascribes intrinsic worth to uplifting duties and rights as well as inspiring virtues and relationships, and tests applying these values by predicting the likely consequences of acting on them. It affirms all life has value for itself, and that human life also values reasoning and feelings and being ethical. The third edition examines US and international environmental policies through 2018. It analyzes the Trump administration’s repudiation of the environmental policies of the Obama administration and its new rules slashing the social costs of climate change. The text reviews a draft UN treaty that would impose human rights and environmental constraints on transnational corporations, but it also highlights outstanding examples of corporate upcycling and low-carbon innovation. Finally, the third edition explains why food security requires protecting the food sovereignty of farming communities and cooperatives, as well as public policies ensuring fair profits for farmers practicing agro-ecology. |
