Forked

Autor: Saru Jayaraman

Número de Páginas: 249

A restaurant critic can tell you about the chef. A menu can tell you about the farm-sourced ingredients. Now who's going to tell you about the people preparing your meal? From 2015 James Beard Leadership Award winner Saru Jayaraman, Forked is an enlightening examination of what we don't talk about when we talk about restaurants: Is the line cook working through a case of stomach flu because he doesn't get paid sick days? Is the busser not being promoted because he speaks with an accent? Is the server tolerating sexual harassment because tips are her only income? As most corporate restaurants continue to set low standards for worker wages and benefits, a new class of chefs and restaurateurs is working to foster sustainability in their food and their employees. Forked offers an insider's view of the highest--and lowest--scoring restaurants for worker pay and benefits in each sector of the restaurant industry, and with it, a new way of thinking about how and where we eat.

The Forked Juniper

Autor: Roberto Cantú

Número de Páginas: 329

Widely acclaimed as the founder of Chicano literature, Rudolfo Anaya is one of America’s most compelling and prolific authors. A recipient of a National Humanities Medal and best known for his debut novel, Bless Me, Ultima, his writings span multiple genres, from novels and essays to plays, poems, and children’s stories. Despite his prominence, critical studies of Anaya’s writings have appeared almost solely in journals, and the last book-length collection of essays on his work is now more than twenty-five years old. The Forked Juniper remedies this gap by offering new critical evaluations of Anaya’s ever-evolving artistry. Edited by distinguished Chicano studies scholar Roberto Cantú, The Forked Juniper presents thirteen essays written by U.S., Mexican, and German critics and academics. The essayists employ a range of critical methods in their analyses of such major works as Bless Me, Ultima (1972), Jalamanta: A Message from the Desert (1996), and the Sonny Baca narrative quartet (1995–2005). Through the lens of cultural studies, the essayists also discuss intriguing themes in Anaya’s writings, such as witchcraft in colonial New Mexico, the reconceptualization of...

According to legend, somewhere beneath the 50 thousand acres of man-made Lake Murray, lie the graves of the only accused witches ever executed in South Carolina. Kate Martin has become obsessed with this legend of her beloved home, or so her friends and family believe. In a tale of testing faith—perverted, faltering, profane, and pious – Kate struggles to discover the truth behind a blighted belief in the supernatural while she deals with her own doubts and demons of a very mortal sort. As she peels away the layers of fantasy surrounding the myth of madness and mayhem, she is drawn dangerously deep into heresy and evil, until twenty-first century and eighteenth century begin to blur and the hiss of a sinister legend becomes the din of monsters.

Ol' Forked Horn

Autor: Charles Raymond Autrey

Número de Páginas: 82

It is hard not to judge animals for the things they do that irritate us but try to put yourself in their place sometimes. You see, when times get hard, man is not the only thing that is affected. Animals also have to adapt in order to survive. Sometime this means eating the farmer's crops. Ol' Forked horn had found himself a supply of food and he was determined to have his share of it. He was smart and unusually lucky. Throw in a few suspicious people and sit back and listen how everything Forked Horn did grew bigger and bigger. It was exciting for me to cross paths with the big blue buck when there were other hunters coming from miles around to try their hand at hunting him, only to leave disappointed without having even a glance at him. Man against beast or was it the other way around. In this case, it was man against Ol' Forked Horn as the author of this book got caught up in trying to outsmart this mystic animal. I thought there wasn't a critter around that I couldn't outsmart. Then, I met this extra big white tale deer that the local people called Ol' Forked Horn. So put another log on the fire, sit back in your comfortable chair as you read this book. Let it take you back in ...

The Forked Path

Autor: T.r. Thompson

Future and past entwined. Despite the victory over Cantor Cortis, the dark power still spreads. Nightmare creatures are wiping out villages all along the southern edge of the wild Tangle forest, causing a stream of refugees to flow into the capital of Sontair in the hope of finding protection. All who helped overthrow the Nine Sisters of Redmondis have been touched by what they experienced and those they lost. Dark visions sap Petron and Daemi’s strength even as they try to heal the rifts within Redmondis and forge a new path for the wielders, crafters, and guards who make up its three main schools. Wilt must enter the Tangle to seek out the source of the power that calls to him. Visions of the past seen through other eyes haunt his days, and he finds it harder and harder to resist the pull of his wraith form. The Guardian is old and weak, and the Tangle is no longer secure…

White Woman Speaks with Forked Tongue

Autor: Nicole Ward Jouve

Número de Páginas: 181

Originally published in 1991. The style of this startlingly original appraisal of a broad range of women’s writing suggests a new direction for feminist criticism, combining as it does challenging, intellectual debate and fresh textual analysis with fictional example and autobiographical detail to make a wholly new invention in the field. In addressing the need for the critic to say ‘I’ and to own judgments and statements instead of attributing these to an apparently impersonal third person, the author here points up some of the shortcomings of much prevailing ‘feminist’ analysis, challenging the very foundations of the Anglo-American feminist idea. Purposely avoiding the ‘totalising’ effect of much academic criticism, the writer/critic finds a new format and a new methodology for her insights and observations on a range of writers, from Doris Lessing to Hélène Cixious. Her unique analysis of the links between criticism and autobiography enable her to highlight the absurdity of attempting to write in the light of recent critical and scientific knowledge as if the self were a stable, unified construct, introducing instead a new, creative understanding of the methods ...

The Road Is Always Forked

Autor: Joseph E. Leblanc Jr.

Número de Páginas: 199

Through prose and poetry, one man shares what he has learned through a lifetime of forked roads. It is anthem as much as memoir—one that will be familiar to many. In The Road Is Always Forked, author Joseph LeBlanc explores how we approach difficult choices and the anxiety, regret, and guilt we can suffer. He notes how time affects what we choose and how it has affected him, and he describes how he has been moved to reflection, introspection, empathy, and inspiration by words and song—the same things that reach out to everyone. He unflinchingly examines what we keep inside due to mistrust and urges us to give each other a chance. He calls out the self-surrender that life can exact and encourages a return to familiar ground while there is still time. And he welcomes the random thoughts that come to us all, not in the service of something larger but just for ourselves; they lift the weight we bear, even if only for a short time. This unique collection of writings offers thought-provoking insight into difficult choices, hindsight, regret, trust, time, mortality, hope, and inspiration.

Forked Tongue

Autor: Rosalie Pedalino Porter

Número de Páginas: 425

Today children who are not fluent in English—legal and illegal immigrants, refugees, and native born—are the fastest growing portion of our population, accounting for more than half the children in classrooms in many city schools. Bilingual education programs established by federal and state laws have required that such students be taught basic subjects in their native languages rather than in English. Judged by most applicable measures—such as achievement scores and dropout rates—these programs have not been successful. This edition includes new material on recent efforts to reform bilingual education, on the growing trend across the country toward English language programs, on the latest national research studies, and on the movement to make English the official language of the United States. Forked Tongue is a devastating inside account of how the twenty-eight-year experiment in bilingual education has failed our language-minority children—and why. Rosalie Porter draws on local, state, and international experience to provide us with the first authoritative account of which policies, programs, and practices actually succeed with the children they are intended to serve. ...

Does the Nordic Region Speak with a Forked Tongue?

Autor: Karin Arvidsson

Número de Páginas: 128

Why is it impossible to talk Swedish while queuing for a hamburger on a Friday night in Helsinki without getting into a fight, despite Swedish being an official language in Finland? The Queen of Denmark, the Government Minister, the Nobel Prize winner and the young editor-in-chief all have an intense relationship with language. In this book, they - along with a number of other people with a keen interest in language - talk about how language has shaped their lives, both private and professional. Language affects people - it engages and provokes. And power lies in language. Icelanders and Finns only have access to translated and interpreted material if they have not learned a Scandinavian language. Does the way we handle language in Nordic collaboration mean that we are creating ademocratic deficit? How are we affected by tradition on the one hand and by the accelerating change brought about by globalisation on the other? Is it a question of generational boundaries? Would young people in Nordic countries rather speak English than Norwegian? These are some of the issues touched upon in this book.

A Forked Path: The Rise and Fall of Liberalism in America

Autor: Pasquale De Marco

Número de Páginas: 178

Liberalism has been a major force in American politics for over a century. Liberal presidents such as Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Barack Obama have enacted landmark legislation that has expanded the rights of all Americans, from Social Security to Medicare to the Affordable Care Act. However, liberalism is facing a number of challenges today. The rise of conservatism, the changing nature of the economy, and the impact of social media have all contributed to a decline in support for liberal policies. **The Rise of Conservatism** Conservatives argue that liberalism has gone too far, that it has created a nanny state that stifles individual liberty and economic growth. They believe that government should play a smaller role in people's lives, and that individuals should be free to make their own choices, even if those choices are harmful to themselves or others. **The Changing Nature of the Economy** The decline of manufacturing jobs and the rise of the service economy have led to a decline in union membership and a shrinking middle class. This has made it more difficult for liberals to build a coalition of support for their policies. **The Impact of Social Media**...

A Dictionary of Sexual Language and Imagery in Shakespearean and Stuart Literature

Autor: Gordon Williams

Número de Páginas: 1650

Providing an alphabetical listing of sexual language and locution in 16th and 17th-century English, this book draws especially on the more immediate literary modes: the theatre, broadside ballads, newsbooks and pamphlets. The aim is to assist the reader of Shakespearean and Stuart literature to identify metaphors and elucidate meanings; and more broadly, to chart, through illustrative quotation, shifting and recurrent linguistic patterns. Linguistic habit is closely bound up with the ideas and assumptions of a period, and the figurative language of sexuality across this period is highly illuminating of socio-cultural change as well as linguistic development. Thus the entries offer as much to those concerned with social history and the history of ideas as to the reader of Shakespeare or Dryden.
