![]() ![]() He describes racism as prejudice and power, since without the political and economic power, prejudice would not be such a dominant and cultural institution. Orwell depicts the extent of racism in order to keep the natives in Burma under control and to quell any attempt at national self-determination. But without racism, imperialism would not have played such an important role in history. However, this level of thought is not unanimously shared as some even go as far as to consider all non-white humans are inferior life forms. Orwell is not afraid to voice his concerns and thoughts of white supremacy which have been around forever. Even women in white society had to adhere to unfair playing grounds. The truth of inequality existent in Burmese society is not the product of British rule, but rather a natural representation of the early 1900s. When U Po Kyin speaks of his reincarnation into the next life, he desperately hopes that he returns as man. This treatment is exacerbated for women who were consistently treated as dirt and uneducated. ![]() ![]() It instilled a sense of superiority for the Europeans who viewed themselves as “absolute masters” over the Asians, who were deemed inferior.

Each story is followed by a chapter of the main narrative, is told by a character in main narrative, and ties back into the main story in some way. The plot is a frame story for a series of 23 short stories, most preceded by a free verse poem. Haunted is a 2005 novel by Chuck Palahniuk. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bazarov rejects all authority, all so-called truths that are based on faith rather than science and experience. ![]() At the novel’s center stands Evgeny Bazarov, medical student, doctor’s son, and self-proclaimed nihilist. ![]() It’s true today and it was true in Russia, in 1862, when Ivan Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons first appeared.

At first, Myron had thought he was part Persian. He usually went by Dewey, or sometimes, "Dew" or "The Dew."ĭewey's breed is unknown. The staff chose his middle and last name, Readmore Books. ![]() Dewey was the most popular choice, named after Melvil Dewey and his library coding system. No public funds were used for his care.Ī naming contest, "Name the Kitty", was held to choose his name. Thereafter, Myron and the library staff cared for Dewey and accepted donations for his food and care. Once they approved, the kitten was vaccinated and neutered. Because the veterinarian declared that he was about 8 weeks old, Vicki and others decided arbitrarily that his birthday would be said to be November 18, 1987.Īlthough some libraries have had a tradition of resident cats, this was the first such cat in Spencer, so approval was required from both the board of trustees of the library and the Spencer City Council. Although the entire staff cared for him, library director Vicki Myron took primary responsibility. The kitten was badly frostbitten and so filthy that everyone thought he was grey instead of his natural copper and white. The library staff discovered the kitten the next morning. In January 1988, on a freezing winter evening, an eight-week-old male kitten was abandoned in the outside book drop at the Spencer Public Library. ![]() ![]() If you think we missed a sale that you want to be entered into CovrPrice just contact us at with information about the sale and our humans will investigate and add it for you.

Published in 1980, A People’s History has sold over two million copies and still plays a role in exposing new generations to the atrocious crimes of the American ruling class over the last three centuries. Above all, he took it upon himself to fight against the idea that only “great men” make history and instead explained history from the “bottom-up”-that is, from the perspective of the exploited and oppressed. The son of two Jewish immigrant factory workers, Zinn dedicated himself to popularizing the many episodes in American history that have been distorted or ignored by mainstream bourgeois intellectuals. Few books have received as much attention on the American left as Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. ![]() |
