After last race (27 risultati)

Softcover. Condizione: Sehr gut. 166 pp., num. coloured and b/w ill. A very good copy. - Summary: After the Last Ship illustrates the authors own history, as well as its connection to the history of other women and children who left India and made the journey across the Kala Pani, the Indian Ocean, and lived as migrants in other countries. In this book the author brings greater understanding of how subjectivities are shaped through embodied experiences of mixed race. She bears witness to the oppressive policies of the fascist government in Portugal in the 1960s and 1970s and the effects of displacement and exile, by reconstructing her own passage from India to Mozambique and finally to Australia. Further, the author shows the devastation that labels such as half-caste, canecos and monhe can cause, when they eat at your flesh, your being, and your body. She sheds light on how identity and culture can serve as vehicles of empowerment, how experiences of belonging can germinate and take root post-diaspora. - Contents: Introduction -- Tamarind, Imli, Amli, Chinch Amtan -- Nutmeg Jaifal Jaifal Jaifal -- First Moment -- Second Moment -- Third Moment -- Fourth Moment -- Chapter One: To forget what I remember -- Bread Roti, Bakar Rotti, Paum Undo, Paum -- Potato Battatta, Allu Bottatta Bottatto -- Rice Bhat, Cheaval Bhat, Chaval Xit, Tandul -- The first wave of the journey -- Milk Dudh Dudh Duhd -- The second wave of the journey -- Ani Seed, Boddixep, Boodixep, Baddixep -- The third wave of the journey -- The beginning of our voyage -- Run Audrey, run, run -- Monhe, Piri-Piri Monguso -- Monhe Piri Piri Monguso Monhe Piri Piri Monguso -- Saucer Sasar Basi Sasar Basi Pir -- Becoming an artist -- Chapter Two: To live on this border -- Eatables Kardie, Khaneki Khan Khavonn, Khana -- Gingeli Oil, Teel Tel, Teelcha Tel, Teelel Tel -- Chapter Three: To remember myself -- Fan, Panka, Panka, Aino -- Representing the body -- Spoon, Chemchea, Chemchea, Kuler -- Sieve, Chalni, Chalni, Chalni -- Ashes, Rak, Rak Gabar, Gobor -- Belonging Space and Third Space -- Chapter Four: To go back there again -- On Place India Place -- How does it feel to be able to say this is my country -- On restoration -- On split ends place -- On forgetting very well -- How can I recover, how can I re-present. -- On not knowing -- On Returning To The Place Where You Were Born -- On remembering not so very well -- On smelling like my place home -- On walking through this garden -- On being this or that -- On not staying -- On Leaving again -- On being at home in this place Here -- On looking for dead man's shoes -- She didn't know why -- On Survival.
