Destined to be the most powerful pharaoh in Egypt, he is also the man who must confront the most famous exodus in history. Susan Fraser King, author of Lady Macbeth The Heretic Queen is a real page-turner A heady, ancient Egyptian brew of magic and mystery history. While political adversity sets the country on edge, Nefertari becomes the wife of Ramesses the Great. Authentic, captivating, and beautifully rendered, Michelle Moran’s The Heretic Queen brings to vivid life the ancient courts and distant vistas of New Kingdom Egypt. Yet all of Egypt opposes this union between the rising star of a new dynasty and the fading star of an old, heretical one. Soon Nefertari catches the eye of the crown prince, and despite her family’s history, they fall in love and wish to marry. But all of this changes when she is taken under the wing of pharaoh’s aunt, and brought to the Temple of Hathor where she is educated in a manner befitting a future queen. A relic of a previous reign, Nefertari is pushed aside, an unimportant princess left to run wild in the palace. The girl’s deceased family has been branded as heretical, and no one in Egypt will speak their names. A devastating palace fire has killed the 18th dynasty’s royal family- all with the exception of Nefertari, niece of the reviled former queen Nefertiti. The winds of change are blowing through Thebes. In ancient Egypt, a forgotten princess must overcome her family’s past, and remake history.

In her early school days, she soon developed a love for reading and writing. A story of trust, faith and forgiveness that will touch everyone's heart that reads it.Įrica Martin is a Cincinnati native but was raised in Detroit. Though destined to be together, will Oricho and Erin's relationship survive under the stresses of the many distractions or will Destiny be Interrupted? Destiny.Interrupted is packed with surprises, twists and underlying lessons. When tragedy strikes, their love is tested in ways that they would never imagine. But both of their pasts threaten the connection. When they find each other it's a match made in heaven. But when Erin crosses his path, she touches his soul like no woman ever has before. Graced with good looks, a killer personality and the ability to smooth talk a woman out of her panties and her social security number. Her issues with trust have her impervious to love.that is until she meets Oricho Hamilton, a man that has the world in the palm of his hand. Erin Lynch is a recently divorced, accomplished writer who has put her heart on lock down and thrown away the key. Written from two different perspectives, Destiny.Interrupted shows how one relationship can take on two different skins. Diana, the woodland goddess, transforms Actaeon into a deer and thus he is hunted down and destroyed by his own vicious hounds. The ancient story of the hunter Actaeon shows us this connection between recognition and reversal. The second component of tragedy is "reversal" where through some form of inquiry or journey, the hero discovers that recognition is held in a kind of 180 degree turn where formerly held truths are actually versions of ignorance or that former versions of ignorance turn out to be visionary. Let me remind you that Homer is undoubtedly a tradition-evolving out of three ages of oral culture-rather than a single human being. In Greek sculpture, a few statues have somewhat featureless eyes, perhaps suggesting the idea of the blind seer again and of course ancient rumors reported that Homer-in all his visionary poetry-was also blind. In Greek culture blindness and seeing are transposed to indicate this moment of recognition as tragic vision recognition manifests itself in blind prophets like Tiresias the seer and Oedipus' act of blinding himself (after seeking out the reality of his life). The first is "recognition" which implies the realization of some truth, that often times (initially) appears to the protagonist as a form of ignorance. The three components work in relationship with each other, a collaboration leading to higher consciousness and restored order, whether socially or individually defined. In the Poetics, Aristotle describes three essential parts to Greek Tragedy and in turn successful art. But the power and control that brings Ian success and fulfillment in the field isn't working anywhere else. Miro’s cultivated blind faith in the man who has his back… faith and something more.Īs a marshal and a soldier, Ian’s expected to lead. In the past three years of their life-and-death job, they've gone from strangers to professional coworkers to devoted teammates and best friends. These traits serve him well with his hotshot partner, Ian Doyle, the kind of guy who can start a fight in an empty room.

The scorned scholar Wang Baoxiang has maneuvered his way into the capital, and his lethal court games threaten to bring the empire to its knees. Unbeknownst to the southerners, a new contender is even closer to the throne. To stay in the game, Zhu will have to gamble everything on a risky alliance with an old enemy: the talented but unstable eunuch general Ouyang, who has already sacrificed everything for a chance at revenge on his father’s killer, the Great Khan. Her neighbor in the south, the courtesan Madam Zhang, wants the throne for her husband-and she’s strong enough to wipe Zhu off the map. Now she burns with a new desire: to seize the throne and crown herself emperor.īut Zhu isn’t the only one with imperial ambitions. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Radiant King, is riding high after her victory that tore southern China from its Mongol masters. How much would you give to win the world? Her major argument (that women are defined as housewives and into the "informal" sector) is useful, but is really only a starting point. In particular, she is generally dismissive of the historical force of white supremacy (speaking only briefly about race and focusing on a first/third world dichotomy that neglects racial inequality within each sphere), antagonistic to the rights of sex workers, glosses over real differences between women, and lapses regularly into romanticizing and orientalizing residents of the Global South. While Mies' project is ambitious and at points compelling, it falls flat at several key points. An interesting but ultimately underwhelming and dated account of the interrelation between global capitalism, patriarchy, and environmental destruction.

It isn't that in earlier elections politicians would refrain from slurring and slandering each other. Somewhere around the time of the Vietnam War and Watergate it started to become ugly and instead of sportsmanship the "players" began to engage in mutually assured destruction, to borrow a term used during the Cold War when the United States and Soviet Union had missiles aimed at each other's countries. There was a time in America, unknown or not experienced by people under the age of 50, when politics was a contact sport played with mostly accepted rules and the equivalent of "sportsmanship." Losers would graciously concede and wish the victor well, in most cases vowing to work with him or her for the good of the country. The massive level of inequality that exists in urban areas where Black and brown people live is still producing generations of people lost to poverty, drugs and violence. While it does help bring people of various backgrounds and ethnicities together, and help break down barriers due to ignorance, it still does not address the real issue. These small steps toward diversity lead people to believe that racism can be defeated. Today, there are many more Black and brown faces to be found on police forces, fire departments, in schools, on television, in sports, and in entertainment. Civil rights organizations campaign heavily to increase diversity in the workplace, in politics, and in the arts. Most Americans today believe that the diversity made possible through affirmative action is helping to reduce the amount of impact mass incarceration has on Black and brown families. This chapter discusses how the status quo hinders the elimination of mass incarceration and how the system can be dismantled without laying the ground for a replacement. Liberalism, rather than lighting the way to vanquish the darkness of the Jim Crow North gave racism new and complex places to hide. Americans in the North made this history. Procedures that diverted resources in education, housing, and jobs away from poor black people turned ghettos and prisons into social pandemics. |
