All Giveaways by Mabel Ninan

ENTER TO WIN ONE OF TWO SIGNED COPIES OF PRASANTA VERMA'S DEBUT BOOK, BEYOND ETHNIC LONELINESS: THE PAIN OF MARGINALIZATION AND THE PATH TO BELONGING. SYNOPSIS OF THE BOOK "So what are you? Go back where you belong!" Majority white American culture has historically marginalized people of color, who at times feel invisible and alienated and at other times are traumatized by oppression and public discrimination. This reality leads to a particular kind of aloneness: ethnic and racial loneliness. An Indian American immigrant who grew up in white Southern culture, Prasanta Verma names and sheds light on the realities of ethnic loneliness. She unpacks the exhausting effects of cultural isolation, the dynamics of marginalization, and the weight of being other. In the midst of disconnection and erasure, she points to the longing to belong, the need to share our stories, and the hope of finding safe friendships and community. Our places of exile can become places where we find belonging—to ourselves, to others, and to God. Learn more about the book here. Get to know Prasanta here.
