This is one of the most realistic and passionate contemporary novels about the life of young people in today's Africa, written by Malama Katulwende, a young Zambian poet and intellectual. It describes the seeming incompatibility of old African traditions and modern life, depicts the political struggle of Zambia's students, and the hope and despair of the book's main character, his family, lover, and friends. Based on real events, this novel provides an insight into African history, daily life, and culture, at the example of an oppressive society. Imagine Europe's revoltes of 1968 in Austral Africa...

Resentment - I not only remember I resent you for it daily, 3. Retaliation - I am going to get even and you shall pay, 4. Rage/Anger - You are going to know how I feel in no uncertain terms, 5. Hatred - You and I cannot be in the same place at the same time: I hate you, 6. Violence -You are going to feel my bitterness, 7. Murder - You must be eliminated.

Masterpiece Of Bitterness Solstafir - LP 602557666342

The Japanese invasion of Shanghai in 1937 led some thirty million Chinese to flee their homes in terror, and live―in the words of artist and writer Feng Zikai―“in a sea of bitterness” as refugees. Keith Schoppa paints a comprehensive picture of the refugee experience in one province―Zhejiang, on the central Chinese coast―where the Japanese launched major early offensives as well as notorious later campaigns. He recounts stories of both heroes and villains, of choices poorly made amid war’s bewildering violence, of risks bravely taken despite an almost palpable quaking fear.As they traveled south into China’s interior, refugees stepped backward in time, sometimes as far as the nineteenth century, their journeys revealing the superficiality of China’s modernization. Memoirs and oral histories allow Schoppa to follow the footsteps of the young and old, elite and non-elite, as they fled through unfamiliar terrain and coped with unimaginable physical and psychological difficulties. Within the context of Chinese culture, being forced to leave home was profoundly threatening to one’s sense of identity. Not just people but whole institutions also fled from Japanese occupation, and Schoppa considers schools, governments, and businesses as refugees with narratives of their own.Local governments responded variously to Japanese attacks, from enacting scorched-earth policies to offering rewards for the capture of plague-infected rats in the aftermath of germ warfare. While at times these official procedures improved the situation for refugees, more often―as Schoppa describes in moving detail―they only deepened the tragedy.

Presenting a diverse collection of documents, Root of Bitterness reaches from the colonial era through the nineteenth century, focusing on six dominant themes: women's work, the power of gender, the physical body, women's collective efforts, diversity and conflict among women, and women's relation to state authority. This edition contains about twenty selections from the original volume and almost sixty new ones.

Every year over 200 million peasants flock to China’s urban centers, providing a profusion of cheap labor that helps fuel the country’s staggering economic growth. Award-winning journalist Michelle Dammon Loyalka follows the trials and triumphs of eight such migrants―including a vegetable vendor, an itinerant knife sharpener, a free-spirited recycler, and a cash-strapped mother―offering an inside look at the pain, self-sacrifice, and uncertainty underlying China’s dramatic national transformation. At the heart of the book lies each person’s ability to “eat bitterness”―a term that roughly means to endure hardships, overcome difficulties, and forge ahead. These stories illustrate why China continues to advance, even as the rest of the world remains embroiled in financial turmoil. At the same time, Eating Bitterness demonstrates how dealing with the issues facing this class of people constitutes China’s most pressing domestic challenge.

Praise for Martin Limón: “It’s great to have these two mavericks back. . . . Mr. Limón writes with gruff respect for the culture of Seoul and with wonderful bleak humor, edged in pain, about GI life in that exotic city.”—The New York Times Book Review “Combining the grim routine of a modern police procedural with the cliff-hanging action of a thrilling movie serial . . . full of sharp observations and unexpected -poignancy.”—The Wall Street Journal “Sueño and Bascom are two of the most memorable sleuths in the modern mystery canon.”—The Plain Dealer “The writing is plain and sinewy, the characterizations are quietly brilliant, and the moral vision is as cold as a Seoul bar girl’s gaze.”—The Oregonian The pair of GI cops Martin Limón first introduced in Jade Lady Burning, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, are back with a vengeance in their latest adventures in Seoul and the sin cities surrounding the capital in the 1970s. While North Korea menaces and Vietnam burns, these two weave through back alleys and bordellos, trying to tip the scales of justice back in the right direction. This time they are not only pursuing criminals, they’re chasing themselves. Homicidal thieves have gotten hold of Sueño’s badge and are using it to lull their victims just long enough to strike—with his gun. That they are murderers makes it that much worse for the dynamic duo. The army wants its equipment accounted for and the ID and weapon recovered. George and Ernie want to recover their reputation, such as it is. And stop the killings. Martin Limón is the author of numerous short stories starring his army police duo, as well as three novels. The Door to Bitterness is the fourth in the Sueño-Bascom series, after Jade Lady Burning, Slicky Boys, and Buddha’s Money.

Paperback. The greatest threat to modern democracy comes from within and it has a name: resentment. Stemming from feelings of inferiority in relation to others, resentment is a diffuse and obsessive loathing, coupled with delusions of victimhood, which clouds ones judgment and perspective, so that an individuals capacity to act and heal is paralyzed. Without the ability to heal, resentment can give rise to violent impulses, to the rejection of the rule of law, the proliferation of conspiracy theories, and the urge to use violent means to try to regain control of ones life. As individuals and as societies, we face the same challenge: how to diagnose resentment and its dark forces, and how to resist the temptation to allow it to become the motor of our individual and collective histories. This bestselling and highly original account of the psychic forces shaping modern societies will be of great interest to anyone concerned about the crisis of democracy today and what we can do to address it.

Bitter Truth is the story of how one woman escaped from the slough of bitterness which had held her for many years. Her life is now filled with love, joy, and peace. It has been a hard road of repentance and humility, but it's worth it. If you struggle with bitterness, or know someone who does, this is a must read. “At the core of most of people’s problems is resentment and lack of forgiveness. Linda clearly spells out the personal devastation of carrying such bitterness. The richness of the book is in her practical and clear explanations of what bitterness is and what God says about it. Linda encourages the reader on how to respond when living life and loving people are hard. You, like Linda, will be transformed if you put into practice the things you learn in this book.” Shelly Cook Volkhardt, missionary, author, international conference speaker "I love a good redemption story! Linda draws us in with her transparency and then offers solid Biblical instruction and practical insights gleaned from her own journey to freedom. I was taught, encouraged, and inspired by God’s transforming power.” Kelly Hall, author, conference speaker
