Book Description
Contains two short stories. The first is when Jane lets another guy take her for the first time in a Fetish club. And the second is what happened at TG (Torture Garden) in London the following week. Excerpt from chapter 1. Jane was now laying right back into me and her legs were wide open, when I saw another couple, standing up right in front of us and the woman was wanking a black guy’s cock. He was massive to say the least and they were both staring down at the guy who was about to start licking and sucking on Jane’s smooth, tight shaved pussy. The girl laying next to Jane was now fingering Jane in between her husband licking her and then offering her fingers up to him to suck again... Jane’s pussy must have been soaking wet and I just started kissing her mouth while the guy and girl worked on making her cum. I then looked up and saw that the black guy, who was standing in front had stepped over the guy between her legs and his wife was offering this huge long cock to the slim girl fingering Jane. As she leaned forward to take the end of his cock in her mouth, I saw Jane had her right hand between the slim girl’s legs and was fingering her too... This nearly made me cum... but I managed to hold back and moved Jane’s hand off my cock and up to the monster black cock that the girl was sucking. Jane gripped the base and it must have been at least 10 inches long and so fat that... her little hand couldn’t go right around it. All of a sudden Jane started to cum… she lifted her pussy up from the seat and arched her back as she screamed out in pleasure. The guy between her legs still had his head buried between her legs and was what seemed to be trying to hold her pussy to his mouth. Then he had to release her as Jane gushed a massive amount of liquid all over his face and the floor. He moved to the side to let Jane recover and was now watching his wife suck on the end of the massive black cock. Jane had let go and was laying on me legs wide apart and looking absolutely exhausted. The black guy had now stepped forward and reaching down between Jane’s legs… he started fingering her again. His partner who was white and looked like a real sexy slut with a tattoo on her belly, had kneeled down onto the floor in front of me and was wanking my cock… I moved Jane over a bit so the girl could come in a bit closer, because she had started sucking on my cock… Jane was now watching the girl on the right sucking the monster cock and the girl on the floor sucking mine... The black guy must have had two or even more fingers inside Jane’s pussy and she was gripping his hand... to either make him slow down or pull it in more as she looked like she was so fucking turned on. The ecstasy we took earlier was definitely working now and making Jane do things she would never have done on wine or alcohol. The girl sucking my cock looked up at me and said, “Do you think she can take his cock in her tiny tight pussy?” I looked at Jane and she was just laying back with her head rolling from side to side as if to say, No way... it’s too big. But was then clearly pulling the black guys hand closer to her pussy so it looked like she wanted more...

Stranger in the Shogun's City
Author: Amy Stanley
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501188542
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
*Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography* *Winner of the 2020 National Book Critics Circle Award* *Winner of the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography* A “captivating” (The Washington Post) work of history that explores the life of an unconventional woman during the first half of the 19th century in Edo—the city that would become Tokyo—and a portrait of a city on the brink of a momentous encounter with the West. The daughter of a Buddhist priest, Tsuneno was born in a rural Japanese village and was expected to live a traditional life much like her mother’s. But after three divorces—and a temperament much too strong-willed for her family’s approval—she ran away to make a life for herself in one of the largest cities in the world: Edo, a bustling metropolis at its peak. With Tsuneno as our guide, we experience the drama and excitement of Edo just prior to the arrival of American Commodore Perry’s fleet, which transformed Japan. During this pivotal moment in Japanese history, Tsuneno bounces from tenement to tenement, marries a masterless samurai, and eventually enters the service of a famous city magistrate. Tsuneno’s life provides a window into 19th-century Japanese culture—and a rare view of an extraordinary woman who sacrificed her family and her reputation to make a new life for herself, in defiance of social conventions. “A compelling story, traced with meticulous detail and told with exquisite sympathy” (The Wall Street Journal), Stranger in the Shogun’s City is “a vivid, polyphonic portrait of life in 19th-century Japan [that] evokes the Shogun era with panache and insight” (National Review of Books).

Critical Race Theory and Classroom Practice
Author: Daniella Ann Cook
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040014488
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
This edited book shows how critical race theory (CRT) can shape teacher practices in ways that improve educational outcomes for all children, especially those most marginalized in PreK-20 classrooms. The volume bridges the gap between the theoretical foundations of critical race theory and its application in formal and informal learning environments. To promote an active and interdisciplinary engagement of critical race praxis, it illuminates the pedagogical possibilities of using CRT while explicitly addressing grade span-specific content area standards and skills. Each chapter explores how educators use a critical race theory lens to deepen student learning, teach honestly about racism and white supremacy, and actively prepare learners to equitably participate in a multiracial democracy. Written for pre- and in-service teachers, teacher educators, and anti-racist community stakeholders, the text addresses the applicability of CRT as a pedagogical practice for PreK-20 educators seeking to meaningfully combat intersectional racial injustice and to create a more just democracy. This book is necessary reading for educators, and courses in Educational Foundations, Anti-Racist Education, Social Justice Education, Curriculum Studies, Educational Leadership, and Multicultural Education.

Sociopragmatics of Japanese
Author: Yasuko Obana
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 100080271X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Obana and Haugh question the extent to which commonly accepted theories in pragmatics can readily explain sociopragmatic phenomena in Japanese. Studies of Japanese in pragmatics have often challenged the cross-linguistic relevance of dominant theories. However, they have also inadvertently perpetuated stereotypes about the Japanese. It is often been assumed, for instance, that Japanese people are less strategic, more polite and more reliant on tacit forms of communication than speakers of other languages. But the Japanese are not as polite as one might think. The aim of this book is thus to question those folk assumptions around politeness, impoliteness, irony and indirectness while at the same time emphasizing that close examination of sociopragmatic phenomena in Japanese yields important empirical insights that combat common theoretical assumptions in pragmatics. The content is structured in three parts, in which the authors highlight a key building block of a theory of sociopragmatics. Part I focuses on indexing through the lens of chapters on honorifics, routine formula and politeness strategies. Part II focuses on evaluating through the lens of chapters on giving/receiving expressions and honorific irony. Finally, Part III focuses on relating through the lens of chapters on joint utterances and off record requests. Throughout the chapters the authors draw attention to ways in which these three dimensions are invariably intertwined in various ways. This book is not simply a collection of studies that promotes our understanding of the sociopragmatics of a particular language, but goes deeper and challenges what many have taken for granted in pragmatics. It proposes a framework for exploring sociopragmatic phenomena, building on the key sociopragmatic axes of indexing, evaluating and relating, and offers fresh new perspectives on time-honoured phenomena in pragmatics. It will interest scholars and postgraduate students in pragmatics, particularly those specializing in: politeness, impoliteness, indirectness and irony. The book explains what Japanese terms mean, and all the Japanese examples are morphologically-glossed. Therefore, teachers (and advanced learners) of Japanese at all levels will benefit from the book as it will enrich their knowledge of the Japanese language.

Ethnic Identity
Author: Lola Romanucci-Ross
Publisher: Rowman Altamira
ISBN: 9780759109735
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
In this thoroughly revised fourth edition with ten new chapters. Lola Romanucci-Ross and her co-authors provide thought-provoking discussions on the importance of ethnicity in different cultural and social contexts. They outline how social change as a result of interethnic conflict is a reality of human history and of modern times. Individual chapters propose that the history of social life in different cultures is a continual rhythm of conflict and accommodation between groups, both external and internal. The authors focus on the key topics of changing ethnic and national identities; migration and ethnic minorities; ethnic ascription versus self-definitions; and shifting ethnic identities and political control. There are chapters covering ethnic identities in Africa (including Zaire and South Africa). Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Thailand, the United States, and the former Yugoslavia. This new survey will serve as an excellent text for courses in race and ethnic relations, anthropology, and ethnic studies. Book jacket.
