Wanderers, Kings, Merchants book cover
Wanderers, Kings, Merchants
Peggy Mohan - 2021-04-12
Calificación de Goodreads
Discover how migration has shaped all Indians from ancient times in this unique exploration of language and culture. Wanderers, Kings, Merchants delves into the fascinating early history of South Asia, examining the rise of Urdu, language formation in the North-east, and the surprising dominance of English after Independence. This original book presents the astounding argument that all Indians are of mixed origins and highlights the potential endangerment of India's native languages.

On #internationalmotherlanguageday2022 #InternationalMotherLanguageDay please read Peggy Mohan’s book The Story of India Through Its Languages. It’s like uncovering ancient artefacts in the languages we speak today, & it’s dedicated to ‘migrants: our ancestors, our children’.      fuente

A Memoir
Chanel Miller - 2019-09-24
Calificación de Goodreads
«Me llamo Chanel. Soy una víctima, no me da reparo utilizar esta palabra, pero sí creer que eso es todo lo que soy. Sin embargo, no soy “la víctima de Brock Turner”. No soy su nada. No le pertenezco». La historia de Chanel Miller cambió el mundo para siempre. En 2016, Brock Turner, de diecinueve años, la violó en el campus de Stanford. Lo que llegó después fue vivir bajo un pseudónimo y uno de los juicios más mediáticos de la historia de EE. UU., tras el que Turner fue sentenciado a tan solo seis meses de cárcel. Decidió compartir en la red la carta que leyó a su violador en el juicio: «Tú no me conoces, pero has estado dentro de mí, y por eso estamos aquí hoy», empezaba. Once millones de personas la leyeron en cuatro días, y provocó la indignación de un país y la reacción internacional. Después de cuatro años viviendo en el anonimato ha dado el paso de hacer pública su identidad. Y ha contado su historia. «Tengo un nombre» son unas memorias íntimas y profundamente conmovedoras, que transformarán para siempre nuestra percepción sobre la violencia sexual y que reclaman justicia, sobre todo, pero también el derecho a seguir viviendo.

Oh here's one more book recommendation before I sign off for now. I've just finished reading Know My Name by Chanel Miller, survivor of sexual assault on Stanford campus & a rape trial that pilloried her. Read it, think about Farooqi case & ongoing trial in #Tejpal case      fuente

The Story of Our Ancestors and Where We Came From
Tony Joseph - 2018-12-18
Calificación de Goodreads
Discover the intriguing history of India's ancestry, tracing back 65,000 years to the arrival of modern humans from Africa. Journalist Tony Joseph uses groundbreaking DNA research to unravel controversial questions about Indian history, including the migration of the 'Aryans' and the genetic diversity of the country's castes. Early Indians presents this information in an entertaining and highly readable manner, ultimately revealing a crucial truth about the country's population: we are all migrants and mixed. A significant and brave book that puts to rest long-standing debates about Indian ancestry.

Thank you @tjoseph0010 for this amazing book. A page-turner, as good as detective fiction, in a language that even a teenager would enjoy. South Asia is a multi-source, multilayered civilisation. The foremother of us all, world over, was an African woman. We're all migrants.      fuente

Calificación de Goodreads
Explore the complex nature of patriarchy, including its origins, sociology, and history, and its interaction with caste in India. This insightful book also delves into the transformation of the term "patriarchy" into an analytical category in the feminist movement of the 1970s. A must-read for students and general readers alike, and part of the Theorizing Feminism Series edited by Maithreyi Krishnaraj.
