 Parish of Raheen - Ancestral Research, Family History, Laois, Offaly, Genealogy, Parish Histories
The present Parish of Raheen constituted a portion of the extensive parochial district of Clonenagh until the year 1820.
This place is within the present Parish of Raheen, and was far from being a convenient position for a priest having singly to discharge the duties of so vast a district.
The explanation may perhaps be that Doon was the property of the Baldwin family, who have always maintained a character for liberality and kindness, It is not unlikely therefore that the priest chose this place for his abode in order to be protected from persecution through their influence.

 DesiJournal.com - Kartography by Kamila Shamsie
Raheen Khan, a graduate of an American college, has just returned to Karachi, which, despite continuing violence and dramatic changes to the landscape, will always be home to her.
In her story within the story, we learn that the parents of Raheen and Karim, too, have always been close friends, with a long history together, and that Raheen's father was once engaged to marry Karim's mother, and that Raheen's mother was once engaged to Karim's father.
As we watch Raheen and Karim come to grips with who they are, where they come from, and what their goals are for the future, the novel achieves a universality and depth one does not often find in a novel about personal relationships.

 EurasiaNet Civil Society - Warlords Loot Afghanistan’s Cultural Heritage with Impunity
Sayed Raheen, Afghanistan’s minister of information and culture, says the problem of looting archeological treasures is widespread, adding that the government, with its meager resources, is virtually powerless to bring a stop to the practice.
Raheen said that he has received numerous reports of cases in which those who have provided information about looting have subsequently suffered severe beatings at the hands of alleged warlord loyalists.
Raheen, however, vehemently denied that corruption was a significant element in the looting issue.

Slowly it dawns on Raheen that everyone except her knows, and also that something in her father's past behaviour is stopping the morally serious, politically aware Karim from allowing himself to love her.
Raheen meanwhile stays and waits and hopes for his eventual return.
Shamsie's talent still shines through, but for me she belongs to a clutch of young novelists just crying out to be edited - to be persuaded to let go of a few of their tricks, to simply set the story on the page and then sit back and let their readers decide what to think.

 Kartography - PowerBookSearch!
Karim always told Raheen of his desire to make maps of Karachi; how there truly were no proper maps of their home, and she remembers him as the Kartographer as she learns to live without him.
As someone said to Raheen: "There's a ghost of a dream you don't even try to shake free of because you're too in love with the way she haunts you." In similar fashion, Raheen remains in love with Karachi, family and friends, even as one by one their facades crumble.
Narrator Raheen has grown up partially insulated from ethnic hatred in her native Karachi by her family's comparative affluence and as the soulmate of Karim, her best friend since they were infants.
