NOBODY KNOWS "A gay man's experience"
A closeted young man's journey towards self-acceptance and finding true love. He manages to overcome all obstacles of his youth, rising above and beyond the pain of physical and emotional abuse, rape and attempted suicide to firmly realize his place as a gay man in today's world.'I know you are probably questioning who I am; I want you to know that you know me very well. You see me every day, as soon as you walk out the house. Sometimes I am the first guy you see when you get up in the morning. Do you know who I am now? I am your husband, your brother, your best friend, your roommate, your father, your doctor or even your lawyer. I am your cousin, your carpenter, the delivery boy and your pastor. I am the bank teller, your child's teacher, and I am even your part time lover. Are you still questioning who I am? Haven't you found it out yet? Okay, I will tell you, I AM GAY.'

The Hunchback of Notre Dame
This historically significant novel of love and betrayal led to a renewed interest in preserving the grand architecture of Paris. Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame was written in 1831, at a time when the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was falling into disrepair. This epic novel helped spark a preservationist movement that led to the cathedral being restored to its full glory. Set in 1482, the story tells of how four men—the hunchbacked bell-ringer, Quasimodo; the archdeacon of Notre Dame, Claude Frollo; the dashing soldier Phoebus de Chateaupers; and the poet Pierre Gringoire—vie for the love of Esmeralda, a young Romani woman. As the story unfolds, readers come to realize that the focus of the story is not only on the human characters but on the grand cathedral itself.
The Tree and the Canoe
This personal observation of Tanna, an island in the southern part of the Vanuatu archipelago, presents an extraordinary case study of cultural resistance. Based on interviews, myths and stories collected in the field, and archival research, The Tree and the Canoe analyzes the resilience of the people of Tanna, who, when faced with an intense form of cultural contact that threatened to engulf them, liberated themselves by re-creating, and sometimes reinventing, their own kastom. Following a lengthy history of Tanna from European contact, the author discusses in detail original creation myths and how Tanna people revived them in response to changes brought by missionaries and foreign governments. The final chapters of the book deal with the violent opposition of part of the island population to the newly established National Unity government.
