Requirements: ePUB Reader | 18.6 MB
Overview: A civilization takes years to grow, step by step.
A child takes 3 steps to grow. Towards
Mother for comfort,
Father for livelihood and
Teacher for knowledge.
The same 3 steps brought down India’s social fabric.
They were steps taken to malign
Women,
Social order and
Education.
Take the first step to learn of the truth.
This volume breaks the wall of myths which stands between us and Society. It is focussed on exploring as to why the Indian society is the way it is today, what was the original design principle of the Indian society, if at all there was one, what are the myths about the society, how did they come about and what are the facts.
Can we understand ourselves and our brethren better?
The objective behind breaking these myths is to be able to piece India back together and see the entire picture of India, whole and “soul”, through uncoloured glasses.

Beyond the White Negro: Empathy and Anti-Racist Reading by Kimberly Chabot Davis
Requirements: PDF Reader, 3.0 MB
Overview: Critics often characterize white consumption of African American culture as a form of theft that echoes the fantasies of 1950s-era bohemians, or “White Negroes,” who romanticized black culture as anarchic and sexually potent. In Beyond the White Negro, Kimberly Chabot Davis claims such a view fails to describe the varied politics of racial crossover in the past fifteen years.

Davis analyzes how white engagement with African American novels, film narratives, and hip-hop can help form anti-racist attitudes that may catalyze social change and racial justice. Though acknowledging past failures to establish cross-racial empathy, she focuses on examples that show avenues for future progress and change. Her study of ethnographic data from book clubs and college classrooms shows how engagement with African American culture and pedagogical support can lead to the kinds of white self-examination that make empathy possible. The result is a groundbreaking text that challenges the trend of focusing on society’s failures in achieving cross-racial empathy and instead explores possible avenues for change.

Relativism, Alternate History, and the Forgetful Reader: Reading Science Fiction and Historiography by Derek J. Thiess
Requirements: Any PDF Reader, 2.48 MB | Version: Retail
Overview: The writer of alternate history asks “what if?” What if one historical event were different, what would the world look like today? In a similar way, the postmodern philosopher of history suggests that history is literature, or that if we read certain historical details differently we would get a distinctly different interpretation of past events. While the science fiction alternate history means to illuminate the past, to increase our understanding of past events, however, the postmodern approach to history typically suggests that such understanding is impossible. To the postmodern philosopher, history is like literature in that it does not offer the reader access to the past, but only an interesting story. Building on criticism that suggests personal psychological reasons for this obscuring the past, and using a literary theory of readership, this book challenges the postmodern approach to history. It channels the speculative power of science fiction to read the works of postmodern philosophy of history as alternate histories themselves, and to map the limits and pathology of their forgetful reading of the past.

The House of the Seven Gables by David Moffat, Ryan Conary, Everett Philbrook
Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 39 MB
Overview: The House of the Seven Gables is an American icon. It is one of the nation’s oldest homes and one of its first historic house museums. Built in 1668, it is a unique and well-restored first period house displaying many preserved 17th- and 18th-century architectural features.

Three generations of the seafaring Turner family lived in the home before the American Revolution. In the 19th century, the author Nathaniel Hawthorne was hosted in the house by his cousin, and the setting encouraged his literary genius. After this famous association, the house attracted tourists even before it opened to the public when the artistic Upton family called the mansion home. In 1910, Caroline Emmerton, an enterprising philanthropist, opened the home to raise money to help local immigrants. She restored the structure and brought other historic houses from Salem to the property.
