Brat Farrar has been carefully coached to assume the identity of Patrick Ashby, heir to the Ashby fortune who disappeared when he was 13. Just when it seems that Brat will pull off the deception, he discovers the truth about Patrick's disappearance, a dark secret that threatens to tear apart the family and jeopardize Brat's carefully laid plans. Called "the best of its kind" by the New Yorker, Josephine Tey's classic is a tale of unrelenting suspense and tension.Book Description
It was eight years since Patrick had vanished leaving a pitiful note, “I’m sorry but I can’t bear it any longer. Don’t be angry with me, Patrick.” Now it seemed, he had returned — just in time to claim the family inheritance. But if Patrick really had committed suicide, who was this mysterious young man claiming to be him and calling himself Brat Farrar?Customer Reviews:

BRAT FARRAR
Manufacturer: Medallion ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: B000FP9WOK |
Product Description
In Brat Farrar, Josephine Tey presents one of the most attractive imposters in mystery fiction. Young Farrar, a product of an orphange, closely resembles the dead heir-presumably sucicide-to Lachetts, a British country estate. Mostly because of his great love of horses he is persuaded to pose as Patrick Ashby, the heir, and claim the inheritance. When an attempt is made on his life, Farrar knows Patrick was murdered and by whom-but to reveal it he would have to reveal his own fraud.

The journey of these fascinating characters nears its end.......2004-06-13
Unbeknownst to our party of heroes, other men are working their way to the borders of Surayon. Imber, Julianne's first husband, follows the call of a djinni to come, he hopes, to the aid of the bride he lost so precipitously; Sieur Anton d'Escrivey, whom we last met mourning the loss of the young Marron (with whom he enjoyed a most controversial of relationships) amidst a veritable sea of dead men on the grounds of Roc de Rancon, heads in the same direction amidst an army of Knights' Ransomers seeking to locate and lay waste to the hidden land of Surayon and its heretical people; a new character also follows a path to the same destination, a Preacher who heals the sick with a holy relic and leads a peasant army of the zombie-like benefactors of his healing magic on a quest to seek divine retribution against Surayon. As the book ends, the Folded Land is revealed to those around it for the first time in forty years, and the fate of this land and of the characters we have so faithfully followed throughout their journey to this time and place now hangs in the balance. The only certainty seems to be that war will come, that the army of the Sharai will battle the forces of Outremer, and that blood will fill the streets of the now-revealed Surayon.
The entire Outremer series is powerfully character-driven, and war itself will not change this fact. The primary characters have changed a great deal over the course of the first five novels, and my own reactions to them have shifted back and forth between admiration and disappointment, compassion and disgust, great sympathy and ambivalence. Still, they remain fascinating, particularly Marron the reluctant Ghost Walker and the mysterious Elisande. I no longer care very much for the histrionic and willful Julianne, but I am most anxious to see what becomes of everyone else. The potential reuniting of Marron and d'Escrivey will be particularly interesting to see (if it does indeed happen), especially inasmuch as Marron's loyal friend Jemel has sworn to kill d'Escrivey. I have some real problems with some of the actions of just about every character contained in these pages, yet Brenchley's writing will not let me abandon them nor let me rest until I know what becomes of them all.

In the Shadow of Race : Growing Up As a Multiethnic, Multicultural and 'Multiracial' American
Teja Arboleda Manufacturer: Lawrence Erlbaum ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0805825754 |
Book Description
My father's father was Filipino-Chinese... br My father's mother was African American-Native American... br My mother's father was German-Danish... br My mother's mother was German... br I was born in Brooklyn, New York, but I grew up in Japan... br br For once it's not just black and white. In this compelling chronicle of his journey through life as a multicultural and multiethnic American, Teja Arboleda uniquely and personally challenges institutionalized notions of race, culture, ethnicity, and class. Arboleda has presented his story around the United States through his one-man performance-lecture i Ethnic Man! /i Now, in this book, he fleshes out the depth of his experience as a culturally and racially mixed American, illustrating throughout the enigma of cultural and racial identity and the American identity crisis. br br To facilitate its use as a course text, i In the Shadow of Race /i is offered with a i Teacher's Guide /i written by Christine Clark. Topics for discussion include: * the social construction of race; br * racial separatism vs. diversity; br * racial, ethnic, and cultural identity development; br * the politics of racial categorization; br * mixed "race" peoples; br * cultural identity vs. identity by heritage; br * the concept of a "cultural home;" and br * changing identities within cultures. br
