Hitchhiking Home from Danang

Hitchhiking Home from Danang

Gerald A. McCarthy

MCFARLAND CO INC

pokkari
Gerald McCarthy enlisted in the Marines at 17 and volunteered for Vietnam. After the war he went AWOL, then to civilian jails and military brigs and finally to a Navy psychiatric ward, where he witnessed patient-attempted suicides. Medically discharged, he returned home to upstate New York and piecework in shoe factories. Written in two voices--one lucid, one dreamlike--his memoir delivers a jump-cut narrative of his troubled adolescence, his wartime experiences and his struggle to come unstuck from his own life.

The Copula in Classification Sentences: Modern Irish Paradigms for Learners

The Copula in Classification Sentences: Modern Irish Paradigms for Learners

Gerald A. John Kelly

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2012
nidottu
This is a dual-language book with Irish and English on facing pages. It is also a detailed examination and explanation of how to use the Irish copula for construction of classification sentences. Sections include a glossary of grammatical terms, plus chapters on the use of the noun and copula for classification, the adjective and copula for classification, the preposition and copula for classification, classification questions, and much more. Each section begins with related rules and analysis of Irish classification sentences - their ainmn (subject), faisn is (information), and briathar (the copula, which is often left implicit). But this is only the starting point. Recognizing that humans more easily learn language by example, each section includes a full complement of paradigms. Most sections also include a volume of additional examples drawn from Irish folklore, seanfhocail (proverbs), and literature.

The Standard Edition of The Ancient Celtic Ancestry of the O'Brien Family: Their Pre-Surname Genealogies, History, Myth and Law

With comprehensive indexing and 22 black & white illustrations, this revised standard paperback edition explores the genealogical traditions of the O'Brien family of Thomond for centuries BEFORE they took the surname Briain. Once considered lost, these are the genealogical secrets of the Celtic Iron Age and Migration Period. To tell this story, the author accessed the mass of information preserved in the Irish Language since the 7th century in Ireland's most important genealogical manuscripts. These manuscripts had been hidden away in a handful of collections since the physical and cultural genocide of the Gaeil in the 17th century, and were therefore inaccessible until recently to almost all Irish, their diaspora, and their genealogists. Happily, these Irish Language manuscripts have finally been set in type and published after waiting between 350 and 850 years. Because this book uses and translates into English this ancient but newly-available genealogical tradition, it is the first of its kind in the modern era about this kinship group. Physical description: the Standard Paperback Edition of 222 pages, 7 X 10 inch format, including 22 black & white illustrations and comprehensive indexing.

With comprehensive indexing and 20 black & white illustrations, this revised standard paperback edition explores the genealogical traditions of the MacMahon family of Thomond (North Munster, especially Co. Clare) for centuries BEFORE they took the surname Mac Mathghamhna Thuadhmhumhan ('Son of Mathghamhain of Thomond'). This name is also spelled McMahon and Mahon in English. Once considered lost, these are the genealogical secrets of the Celtic Iron Age and Migration Period. To tell this story, the author has accessed the mass of information preserved in the Irish Language since the 7th century in Ireland's most important genealogical manuscripts. These precious documents had been hidden away in a handful of collections since the physical and cultural genocide of the Gaeil in the 17th century, and were therefore inaccessible until recently to almost all Irish, their diaspora, and their genealogists. Happily, these Irish Language manuscripts have finally been set in type and published after waiting between 350 and 850 years. Because this book uses and translates into English this ancient but newly-available genealogical tradition as it relates to the MacMahon family of Thomond, it is the first of its kind about this family in the modern era. Caveat - Mac Mathghamhna ('MacMahon') is the surname of two, distinct, unrelated sloinnte (extended, surnamed families): MacMahon of Thomond and MacMahon of Monaghan. This book examines the pre-surname genealogies, history, myth and Brehon Law of the MacMahons of Thomond. Physical description - This is the revised standard paperback edition of 218 pages, 7 X 10 inch format, including 20 black & white illustrations and comprehensive indexing.

La Iglesia Catolica en Puerto Rico ante la invasion de Estados Unidos de America

La Iglesia Catolica en Puerto Rico ante la invasion de Estados Unidos de America

La mayor a de los estudios plantea que la Iglesia Cat lica puertorrique a se americaniz , conforme a una pol tica orquestada desde la Santa Sede para apoyar la americanizaci n de Puerto Rico. Americanizar la Iglesia hubiera significado configurar la estructura eclesi stica insular al modelo de la Iglesia Cat lica estadounidense, bajo los decretos del Tercer Concilio Plenario de Baltimore que ten an fuerza de ley para la Iglesia de dicha naci n. Despu s de haber realizado la consulta, exploraci n y an lisis de todos los acervos documentales disponibles en Puerto Rico, la investigaci n del presente libro se encamin hacia varios objetivos. Primero, entrelazar las dos coyunturas hist ricas: la Iglesia antes y despu s de la invasi n. Analiza c mo la crisis que enfrent la Iglesia en el 1898 no era s lo producto de los acontecimientos pol ticos del momento, sino tambi n resultado de un proceso de crisis interna que ya se hab a iniciado antes de la invasi n. Segundo, se expone una nueva explicaci n sobre la pol tica de la Santa Sede referente a la Iglesia en Puerto Rico desde la invasi n hasta la muerte de Monse or Jones. En otras palabras, qu papel jug la Santa Sede para salvaguardar la Iglesia y estabilizarla. Tercero, adem s de indagar las estrategias econ micas y sociales de la Iglesia, este estudio se enfoca en un punto olvidado y relegado por la historiograf a eclesi stica: los laicos. Se examina qu hizo la Iglesia para atender, atraer, educar, entusiasmar, evangelizar y motivar a este sector.De acuerdo con el autor, la Iglesia Cat lica de Puerto Rico de finales del siglo XIX se encontraba en una crisis institucional intensa, que se agrav con la invasi n estadounidense del 25 de julio de 1898. El gobierno estadounidense trat , por todos los medios, de reducir la influencia de la Iglesia Cat lica en beneficio del protestantismo y puso la mirilla de sus ca ones sobre ella. La Iglesia tuvo que enfrentarse, a la secularizaci n de los cementerios, a una libertad de culto dise ada como pol tica oficial del presidente William McKinley a favor de las nuevas misiones protestantes, a la expropiaci n de los edificios religiosos y, durante toda una d cada, a la confiscaci n federal de todos sus bienes inmuebles. La Santa Sede se percat de que, contrario a la tradici n democr tica estadounidense, la Isla no ser a anexada, sino mantenida como colonia, raz n por la que configur toda una estrategia diplom tica para enfrentar ese reto. La pol tica y visi n vaticana tuvo la misi n de mantener el perfil hispanoamericano de la Iglesia Cat lica de Puerto Rico y tratar de conciliar la lealtad de los nuevos eclesi sticos designados para la Isla hacia Estados Unidos de Am rica, mediante la selecci n de pastores estadounidenses. Este perfil hispanoamericano se un a, claramente, a la cosmovisi n puertorrique a en el sentido de que compart a, en com n con Am rica Latina, un conjunto de experiencias y valores propios tales como el idioma y la cultura en raz n de haber sido parte de Espa a. El traslado de Monse or Blenk al Arzobispado de Nueva Orle ns y la elecci n de Monse or Jones como nuevo obispo no constituy , en forma alguna, una pol tica americanizadora, sino una acci n pastoral diplom tica de la Santa Sede en defensa del catolicismo del Pa s.

Este libro es una rigurosa investigaci n hist rica que expone la historia del espiritismo en Francia, su internacionalizaci n y su impacto en la vida puertorrique a. Se documenta que la palabra espiritismo no fue inventada por Allan Kardec, como todos los estudios han se alado hasta ahora, y expone las ideas centrales de este movimiento popular que se difundi internacionalmente. Se explora por qu se fusion el espiritismo con el catolicismo popular y el curanderismo despu s de haber llegado a Puerto Rico. Se analiza las diversas reacciones de parte del Estado espa ol, la Iglesia Cat lica y los protestantes ante la doctrina espiritista y c mo se fueron construyendo ideas negativas y asimilaciones conceptuales que la estigmatizaron hasta nuestros d as. Se discute por qu surgi el uso de la palabra "espiritero" y examina c mo se ve an los espiritistas a s mismos. Se abordan varios aspectos de la vida espiritista tales como la funcionalidad de un centro espiritista, el nuevo l xico que llega a Puerto Rico y el que, al parecer, nace en la Isla. Esta obra recalca la necesidad impostergable de estudiar la literatura producida por medio de la supuesta comunicaci n de los esp ritus, muestra los v nculos asociativos del espiritismo con la masoner a y el librepensamiento. A su vez, explica c mo y por qu surgi la idea de crear una federaci n de espiritistas en Puerto Rico y en el mbito internacional. Asimismo, este libro contiene un ap ndice en el cual se incluyen los nombres de los centros espiritistas, en algunos casos, con la fecha de fundaci n y los componentes de su primera directiva o la m s antigua en la documentaci n consultada.
