Story54
Mark Mathabane was weaned on devastating poverty and schooled in the cruel streets of South Africa’s most desperate ghetto, where bloody gang wars and midnight police raids were his rites of passage. Like every other child born in the hopelessness of apartheid, he learned to measure his life in days, not years. Yet Mark Mathabane, armed only with the courage of his family and a hard-won education, raised himself up from the squalor and humiliation to win a scholarship to an American university.

In Up the Youth Club, Emma Warren maps the shifting story of youth clubs in the UK and Northern Ireland, from factory workers in Victorian Boys' and Girls' clubs to renegade self-emancipatory spaces in the 1970s and the music-generating youth clubs of more recent decades. With a mixed lineage in church evangelism, the patronage of the upper classes, grassroots' DIY, and erratic state funding, the youth club has had a huge, yet almost invisible, effect on music, sport, culture and society.

Musical Youth will forever be remembered for their worldwide 1982 hit Pass The Dutchie. In fact, the story of the reggae group made of five schoolchildren from Birmingham in the UK is one that starts long before that – as far back as Kingston Jamaica in the mid-1960s. Prior to forming Musical Youth, the father of Patrick Waite (bass) and Junior Waite (drums) was a member of rocksteady stars The Techniques. Relocated to Birmingham in the 1970s, he and local producer/promoter Toney Owens set about creating a group that would help pass on the torch of Jamaican music into a new era. What ...

In a refreshing departure from traditional third-person biographies, this captivating account unfolds in the first person as the reflections of a retired George Washington. As he looks back on his youth, he shares insights into his family history, education, and early military experiences, culminating at the age of 26 when he held the rank of colonel. While the author creatively fills in certain details, he remains largely faithful to the historical essence and spirit of Washington himself. The result is a compelling narrative that entertains while it enlightens. - Summary by Larry Wilson

In the heart of a Wisconsin pioneer farm in the 1850s, young John Muir recounts a childhood marked by struggle and resilience. With a kitchen stove that barely warmed the home, Muir paints a vivid picture of life for his family of ten, all huddled together in the biting cold. Uprooted from a comfortable life in Dunbar, Scotland, Muirs father, a strict religious fundamentalist, imposed a harsh doctrine of self-denial that clashed with Johns secret love for poetry and literature. Lacking formal education, John turned to nature for wisdom, observing the changing seasons, the farm animals, and the...
