Here and There
A Perspective in Igbo Diaspora
Mathias Chinonyere Mgbeafulu
About the Book
This book ‘Here and There: A perspective in Igbo Diaspora’ attempts to present a concise narrative of the worldwide migration of the Igbo speaking people of Nigeria through the lens of its diaspora. The migration that produced the diaspora in its various forms is not just a response to the internal Nigerian environment, but also relates to the changing nature of the global forces. With historical insights, the author investigates the different phases in centuries of Igbo diaspora with notes on voluntary and involuntary movements. It highlights the ways in which new movements are connected to older flows, and how displacements across physical borders are intimately linked to the reworking of conceptual borders in both sending and receiving states.The book cast some new lights on the contemporary history of the Igbo through the experiences of the larger Igbo people now settled mostly across the western world, largely in North America and Britain, and is gradually spreading to Asia and the eastern hemisphere. The progenitors of these migrations left centuries ago through the Atlantic world and there are recent arrivals too who are trotting through land, sea and air. Placing the migration and diaspora settlements in historical contexts, the book shows how the experiences of Igbo in various metropoles across the world have been shaped by the social dynamics and politics of settlement locations as much as the transnational connections and the economic forces of globalization.
Around the globe, people leave their homes to better themselves, to satisfy needs, and to care for their families. They also migrate to escape undesirable conditions, ranging from paucity of economic opportunities to violent conflicts at home. This book shows how the Igbo have spread globally from its original heartland in southern Nigeria. It examines the social, economic, and political factors that propel households to decide to send members abroad, along with the cultural beliefs and traditions that can limit migration and accentuates the connections between the different phases of Igbo migratory communities. ‘Here and There’ provides a valuable portrait of the Igbo in countries other than Nigeria and articulates how Igbo diaspora can better be engaged and mobilized for maximum advantage. Issues of diaspora transnational social practice and community building, identity, institutionalized racism and the centrality of culture and homeland euphoria are highlighted and presented as fresh perspectives on relocation and resettlement. It stands as a valuable contribution to the wider literature on migration and diasporas.

Through the Valley of My Shadow
Jolainne BoRienne
About the Book
Through the Valley of My Shadow is a trilogy of stories that evolved from thirteen years of healing from childhood sexual abuse. It starts with a state of denial and numbness, represented by a symbolic mythical journey. The second level represents a more humanistic soul search until I was finally able to tell my story as it really happened in the third level. As such it honors both my psychological journey of healing and a deep spiritual healing as well.
About the Author
Jolainne BoRienne is a retired teacher after 25 years working with both regular and special education children with hearing, speech and language disabilities. She also survived many years healing from childhood sexual abuse which no longer defines her. She is married with four wonderful adult children and six beautiful grandchildren.

A Parent's Help-source on Sexual Assault
Christine A. Golder
About the Book
Finally, there is a handbook for parents who have had to face the horrendous ordeal of their child’s sexual assault. Most of the current literature focuses on prevention. This book is specifically to help parents in the aftermath of the assault as it is typical for parents to feel as victimized and powerless as their child. The crisis precipitates a disequilibrium that reverberates throughout the family and can have long-reaching effects unless the members seek help. The initial phase of discovery is the most crucial and how parents react toward their child at first hearing of the assault plays an important role in how the child is able to handle the crisis from that time forward.
After an introductory chapter which examines the scope of the problem, the second chapter discusses disclosure issues. It also explains what assault can entail; reactions and behavioral signals in child and adolescent victims. This chapter also discusses the perpetrator because parents often ask, “”What kind of person could do such a thing?”” The third chapter deals with issues around reporting and what to expect from the legal system. The fourth chapter focuses primarily on parental concerns, feelings and their important role in the recovery process. The fifth chapter suggests some ideas for moving beyond the personal crisis for those parents that want to do more.

Telos, Dreams, and our Continuing Human Evolution
Marley Shen-Cecilio
About the Book
We humans are still continuing to evolve into higher beings, through the actions and nurturance of our dreams and instincts. I know this to be true because as partly described in this book, I underwent the stages of these processes in the past 34 years, and still continuing. This book differentiates the Telosmor spirit from our consciousness or mind. Describes how the incorrect teachings of intellectuals since the Age of Englightenment (past 400 years) caused our human condition to deteriorate. Gives a real life example of how our evolution actually begins and the general kinds of unusual phenomena a person will undergo. Differentiates the kundalini, chakra, and other psychic energies from the Telos or spirit. Gives examples of how it feels to be “touched” by the Telos. Gives brief biography and gist of Carl Jung’s Paradigm of Individuation.About the Author
