Shadow S in the Sun Gayathri Ramprasad Advance Uncorrected Proofs/Not for Resale/Available March 2014 As a young girl in Bangalore, Gayathri was surrounded by the fragrance of jasmine and Ramprasad in the Sun Gayathri Shadows flickering oil lamps, her family protected by Hindu gods and goddesses. But as she grew older, demons came forth from the dark corners of her fairytale-like kingdom—with the scariest creatures lurking within her. The daughter of a respected Brahmin family, Gayathri began to feel different. “I can hardly eat, sleep, or think straight. The only thing I can do is cry unending tears.” Her parents insisted it was all in her head. Because traditional Hindu culture has no concept of depression, no doctor could diagnose and no medicine could heal her mysterious illness. This beautifully written memoir traces Gayathri’s courageous thirty-year battle with the depression that consumed her from adolescence through marriage and a move to the United States. It was only after the birth of her first child, when her husband discovered her in the backyard “clawing the earth furiously with my bare hands, intent on digging a grave so that I could bury myself alive,” that she finally got the help she needed. After a stay in a psych ward she eventually found “the light within,” an emotional and spiritual awakening from the darkness of her tortured mind. Gayathri’s inspiring story provides a first-of-its-kind cross-cultural lens to mental illness—the very different way it is (or is not) regarded in India and in America, and the way she drew on both her rich Hindu heritage and Western medicine to find healing. Gayathri Ramprasad is president of ASHA International, a nonprofit organization promoting personal, organizational, and community wellness. An international voice for the acceptance of people with mental illness, she has earned several prestigious awards.

For millions of people suffering from mental illnesses, this is a vivid illustration that there is light at the end of the tunnel. What makes this book unique is its cross-cultural context of the life of an immigrant. Gayathri migrated not only from India to the U.S., but also into and out of a serious mental illness. Everyone who struggles with a mental illness, or who knows anyone with depression, anxiety, or any other mental illness, must read this engrossing true story of courage in the face of heartbreaking adversity.” —Dilip V. Jeste, M.D., distinguished professor of psychiatry and neurosciences, University of California–San Diego, and president, American Psychiatric Association “Weaving together colorful threads from two different cultures in rich, beau- tiful prose, Gayathri pens a memoir about an anguishing mental illness that ends in redemption and grace. Hers is a powerful story of hope, resilience, and recovery.” —Therese Borchard, author of Beyond Blue: Surviving Depression & Anxiety and Making the Most of Bad Genes “This is a superb memoir of an Indo-American woman’s growth from child- hood to adulthood as she struggles with the challenges of developing a bicultural identity complicated by severe recurrent depression. Beginning with her life in a loving and successful family in Bangalore, the author beau- tifully describes the details of Indian family life, including the rituals and values that contribute to family and social support and cohesion. But at the same time she eloquently describes her wrenching emotional struggle with depression as a young woman in the context of intense personal and family expectations to excel first as a student and daughter in India, and then as a wife and mother in America. Through her own personal talents and strengths, along with support from family, friends, and mental health professionals, she becomes a leader and outspoken mental health advocate in cultural communities that have traditionally avoided the reality of mental illness. In a style that evokes great empathy from the reader, the author poetically describes the struggle of developing a personal identity that spans widely disparate cultures, and in the process drawing on and celebrating the strengths of each culture.” Advance Uncorrected Proofs —James Boehnlein, MD, professor of psychiatry, Intercultural Psychiatry Not for resale Program, Oregon Health and Science University School of Medicine Available March 2014 ShadowsintheSun_i-xviii_1-272.indd 1 11/6/13 10:15 AM “Shadows in the Sun opens a world never before described in memoir form— that of a woman raised in India and forced to face her mental illness in America without traditional family support or understanding. Gayathri’s colorful, harrowing, and ultimately uplifting life story transcends memoir and becomes history.” —Julie A. Fast, author, columnist, and winner of a Mental Health America media award “By her courageous willingness to share her most private horrors, Gayathri Ramprasad will touch many hearts. In addition to helping people with depres- sion feel hope and companionship in their sorrows, this memoir will touch the caregivers—both family members and service providers. Ramprasad sheds light on the person in the darkness, providing a reminder that depression is a matter of life and death, that this illness casts a very wide shadow, and that even the smallest spark of hope can light the candle that guides the way back from despair.” —Patricia B.

The events are portrayed to the best of the author’s memory. While all the stories in this book are true, some names and identifying details have been changed to protect the privacy of the people involved. The conversations in the book all come from the author’s recollec- tions, though they are not written to represent word-for-word tran- scripts. Rather, the author has retold them in a way that evokes the feeling and meaning ;of what was said, and, in all instances, the essence of the dialogue is accurate. Depression and the medications and electroconvulsive therapy used to treat it can seriously damage recollection. Where the author’s mem- ory has failed her, she has interviewed family members to fill in the gaps. A glossary of Indian words appears at the back of this book.

Rewak, S.J. Professor of Philosophy, Santa Clara University 1. What do we mean when we talk about ‘ethics’? Ethics in the broadest sense refers to the concern that humans have always had for figuring out how best to live. The philosopher Socrates is quoted as saying in 399 B.C. that “the most important thing is not life, but the good life.”1 We would all like to avoid a bad life, one that is shameful and sad, fundamentally lacking in worthy achievements, unredeemed by love, kindness, beauty, friendship, courage, honor, joy, or grace. Yet what is the best way to obtain the opposite of this – a life that is not only acceptable, but even excellent and worthy of admiration? How do we identify a good life, one worth choosing from among all the different ways of living that lay open to us? This is the question that the study of ethics attempts to answer.

  • Exemplar Texts for Grades
    COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects _____ Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks OREGON COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Exemplars of Reading Text Complexity, Quality, and Range & Sample Performance Tasks Related to Core Standards Selecting Text Exemplars The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.

The main concern is with the effects of processes of urbanisation on middle-class women’s lives in a heterogeneous neighbourhood. While focusing on members of the Bengali Hindu majority comparative material drawn from data referring to the Bengali Christian and Marwari communities is incorporated. Initially the socio-economic history of different castes and communities and in particular the Subamabanik Bene (goldsmiths and sellers of gold) occupational and ritual patterns as well as educational standards are investigated. In the following chapters the effects of socio-economic change on marriage patterns (love- and arranged marriages) and their evaluation as well as various types of marriage transactions undertaken are described and interpreted.
