This volume of well-organized selections encapsulate the history of man’s quest for knowledge and progress. The authors selected herein have journeyed deep into their past to find people who gave them gifts that would last forever: the gifts of freedom, dignity and self-identity. These include the struggles of Ayyankali, the powerful impact of Sanskrit on world religions and cultures, the potential cultural debates that could be triggered by ideologically innocuous games, the struggles of Afro-Americans and people to realize their dreams, Tagore’s vision for India, generational conflicts, and the complexities of modern life. Through reflective essays, short non-fiction and poetry, this textbook invites students to enrich their reading experience and refine their vocabulary.
