"Told with great humor and compassion, Raabe's tales show us the heart behind the badge."--Michael Gurian,NY Timesbestselling author ofThe Wonder of Boys"Raabe's stories reflect "the good, the bad and the ugly" aspects of patrolling our highways.Patrolling the Heart of the Westwill bring a new appreciation for the unique role and responsibilities of state troopers, especially those who work in rural or remote areas."--G Paul Corbin, criminal justice professor and former chief of the Nevada Highway PatrolFrom the back cover:For decades, Trooper Steve Raabe patrolled some of the most desolate and dangerous highways in America. Alone in the remote Nevada desert, miles from any backup, Raabe was forced to contend with murderers, thieves, perverts, dope peddlers, and the occasional runaway train.While often tragic and terrifying, Raabe's true tales also abound with his signature wit and playful good cheer. Policing can be a deadly serious business, but for Raabe it also entailed buying a prisoner an ice cream cone on a hot summer day, or laughing along with some good old boys before booking them into jail, as you'll discover inPatrolling the Heart of the West.In our contentious and politicized era, when police officers are too often portrayed as either infallible superheroes or oppressive henchmen, Raabe's charming collection reminds us that cops are mostly just ordinary men and women who've chosen an extraordinary career.More praise forPatrolling the Heart of the West:"Whether you have an interest in law enforcement, are a fan of all things Nevadan, or just want to enjoy a good book that you won't want to put down once you start reading it, you'll findPatrolling the Heart of the Westto be a memorable read. Highly recommended."--Excerpt from Readers' Favorite, review by Kimberlee J Benart"Patrolling the Heart of the Westis a quick, entertaining and informative glimpse into an important, sometimes dangerous career spent in a little understood corner of the country."--Ed Pearce, Senior Reporter, KOLO-TV Reno"Perhaps the most endearing police memoir yet written. As a son and brother of cops, I admire the humanity Raabe brings to each of these stories."--Jon Gosch, author ofDeep Fire Rise"Patrolling the Heart of the Westis a thoroughly entertaining and enlightening read. With a style reminiscent of the war stories exchanged during a law-enforcement family barbecue, Raabe's skill as a storyteller is evident as he imparts his wisdom and experience with a unique sense of humor, candor, and insightfulness."--Andy Brown, author ofWarnings Unheeded: Twin Tragedies at Fairchild Air Force Base"Raabe tells his experiences with excellent accuracy, grace and wit. I couldn't put the book down!"--Colonel Michael Hood, Nevada Highway Patrol

Free Download Rashmi Sadana, "English Heart, Hindi Heartland: The Political Life of Literature in India"
English | 2012 | pages: 242 | ISBN: 0520269578 | EPUB | 0,3 mb
English Heart, Hindi Heartland examines Delhi's postcolonial literary world―its institutions, prizes, ✅Publishers, writers, and translators, and the cultural geographies of key neighborhoods―in light of colonial histories and the globalization of English. Rashmi Sadana places internationally recognized authors such as Salman Rushdie, Anita Desai, Vikram Seth, and Aravind Adiga in the context of debates within India about the politics of language and alongside other writers, including K. Satchidanandan, Shashi Deshpande, and Geetanjali Shree. Sadana undertakes an ethnographic study of literary culture that probes the connections between place, language, and text in order to show what language comes to stand for in people's lives. In so doing, she unmasks a social discourse rife with questions of authenticity and cultural politics of inclusion and exclusion. English Heart, Hindi Heartland illustrates how the notion of what is considered to be culturally and linguistically authentic not only obscures larger questions relating to caste, religious, and gender identities, but that the authenticity discourse itself is continually in flux. In order to mediate and extract cultural capital from India's complex linguistic hierarchies, literary practitioners strategically deploy a fluid set of cultural and political distinctions that Sadana calls "literary nationality." Sadana argues that English, and the way it is positioned among the other Indian languages, does not represent a fixed pole, but rather serves to change political and literary alliances among classes and castes, often in surprising ways.
