Book excerpt: From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Science of Storytelling comes a bold and ambitious investigation of status that will redefine human culture for our times There's something humans desire even more than gold. It's a fundamental drive that's common to all humanity, cutting across race, gender, age and culture. Our need for it is such that exactly how much of it we possess dramatically effects not only our happiness and well-being but also our physical health. It'sstatus, argues Will Storr. You can't understand human behaviour without understanding The Status Game. This game, which we are all playing, is not only the secret of our success, but also of our most evil behaviour. Everything is subordinate to status, and humans aren't unique in our complicity with it. By reflecting on the various ways humans negotiate this game - through status hierarchies, values, myths and sacred markers, Storr gives readers a master class in this most malevolent of social mysteries.
Book Synopsis Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Couples with Mixed HIV Status: Beyond Positive/Negative by : Asha Persson
Download or read book Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Couples with Mixed HIV Status: Beyond Positive/Negative written by Asha Persson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume presents a detailed portrait of couples living with mixed HIV status, where one partner is HIV-positive and the other negative. Readers will come to understand the various and complex ways in which these mixed-status, or serodiscordant couples build a life together within the shadow of HIV-related stigma. Spanning the globe, coverage explores serodiscordance as a negotiated practice and process, inseparable from the social context in which it is situated. The book shows how couples draw on diverse and sometimes contradictory cultural discourses of medicine, romance, and “normality” to make sense of and manage their mixed HIV status and any perceived risks, not uncommonly in ways that depart from prevailing HIV prevention messages. Throughout, compelling personal stories accompany the empirical research, sharing the firsthand experiences of men and women in serodiscordant relationships. Bringing together research from diverse disciplines and geographical regions, this book contributes important insights for future HIV health promotion as well as offers new knowledge to scholarship on the cultural intersections of illness and intimacy. It will appeal to a broad audience working across the fields of HIV, health, gender, sexuality, development, and human rights.

Download or read book Beyond My Control written by Lee Hamelin and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1967, when Lee Hamelin was just four years old, he and several of his siblings were forcibly removed from their Aboriginal family’s home in northern Alberta, Canada, never to return again. With the authorities labelling his mother as “morally depraved and of no benefit to society,” Lee and his siblings became wards of the government. Little did they realize it at the time, but they had just become part of the Sixties Scoop, the mass removal of Aboriginal children from their families into Canada’s child welfare system from the mid 1950s to the 1980s. While the Sixties Scoop exposed thousands of Aboriginal children to the horrors of the residential school system, Lee and his brother avoided that fate. Instead, they were placed with loving foster parents who raised the two boys as if they were their own. Lee is immensely thankful for the situation where he and his brother ended up. However, growing up in a white home as a visible minority in his community, completely cut off from his Aboriginal roots, still created many complications that he has had to cope with throughout his life, including racism, prejudice, and questions about his identity. In this gripping and honest memoir, Lee seeks to contextualize his experience within the trauma that so many other such forced abductions created and the broader colonial context within which they took place. Despite the darkness of these years, through it all comes a positive message of love, hope, and reconciliation for all.
Download or read book Reframing Drag written by Kayte Stokoe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reframing Drag provides a critical survey of French and Anglo-American queer and feminist theorizations of drag performance, placing these approaches in a dialogue with contemporary drag practice and the representation of drag in three literary texts. Challenging pervasive assumptions circulating in existing queer and feminist analyses of drag performance, the author identifi es and questions three recurring ideas which have shaped the landscape of drag research: the argument that drag performances either uphold or subvert oppressive gender norms, the assumption that drag involves performing as the ‘opposite sex’, and the belief that drag can shed light on gender performativity. Informed by a range of gender and queer theory, this work contends that an intersectional, transfeminist approach to drag performance can provide richer, more nuanced understandings of drag and, unlike the ‘opposite sex’ narrative, acknowledges the gender diversity at work in current drag scenes.
Download or read book Boobless Mammal written by Dana Ch. Levy and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was June of 2019, and thirty-one-year-old interior designer Dana Ch. Levy had just gotten engaged—but then she received bad news. She was diagnosed with breast cancer. In Boobless Mammal, she shares the story of her journey. In this memoir, she tells how she broke off her engagement, froze her eggs before starting chemotherapy, and began treatment. Levy chronicles a life in turmoil, dealing with a terrifying diagnosis. She embarks on a healing journey where she embraces her feelings with honesty. The experience gave her clarity, making her realize the story she had been telling herself—the romantic one—was the wrong one. Cancer served as a catalyst to open windows to emotions that had been closed for a long time. Boobless Mammal revisits painful memories from her childhood and adolescence, turning the pain into life lessons. Despite the drama, Levy’s witty sense of humor and sarcasm prevails, bringing levity to each situation. From her Jewish home in Lima, Peru, where she currently lives, to the tropical weather of Miami and finally, the vibrant city of New York, the three become meaningful, yet contrasting settings.

When their mother at last returns, Reyna prepares for her own journey to “El Otro Lado” to live with the man who has haunted her imagination for years, her long-absent father. Funny, heartbreaking, and lyrical, The Distance Between Us poignantly captures the confusion and contradictions of childhood, reminding us that the joys and sorrows we experience are imprinted on the heart forever, calling out to us of those places we first called home.

Book Synopsis Beyond My Dreams by : Peter Marmureanu
Download or read book Beyond My Dreams written by Peter Marmureanu and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Peter Marmureanu started learning tennis in communist-held Romania, he was ten years old, playing barefoot on clay courts, swinging a wooden paddle that served as a racket. Eight years later, as a member of Romania's Davis Cup team, Marmureanu was traveling side by side with Ilie Nastase and Ion Tiriac to the world's capitals playing tournaments in Cairo, Monte Carlo, Paris, London, Moscow, and scores of other cities. In Beyond My Dreams, Marmureanu recounts his life story and how he was forced to become a designated courier for the Securitate, traveling with packets of top-secret documents concealed in his racket cover for delivery to Romanian embassies. In a last-minute flight to freedom that sounds like an espionage thriller, Marmureanu narrates how he made his escape. But even in America, where Donald Rumsfeld and President Gerald Ford helped secure his citizenship, he lived for many years under FBI protection, carrying a handgun for his own safety, knowing the danger that loomed over Romania's defectors and what might happen if he ever went back. And yet, for the sake of his family, Marmureanu risked a return-witnessing, firsthand, the initial moments of insurrection preceding the fall of an evil regime. In this memoir-filled with intrigue, courage, and defiance-Marmureanu tells how he escaped one of the most repressive regimes on earth-the incredible but true adventure of one man's flight to freedom.
Book Synopsis The Sexual Philanthropist by : John Langley
Download or read book The Sexual Philanthropist written by John Langley and published by JOHN LANGLEY. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine. You are 8 years old and overhearing your mother remonstrate to your father that you are the "Unwanted, bastard child." How does that feel inside your head right now? Picture this scenario and how it would have affected your life from that moment forward. What would the outcome have been for you - suicide attempts, drugs, alcohol, and what would have been your coping mechanism? What would have numbed your pain through the years ahead? Would you be mentally stable, or even be alive right now to tell your story? One of the things you'll love about The Sexual Philanthropist is that it has only a little to do with sex, that little word that draws you in immediately, because this is a bigger, in fact much bigger story of a journey through homelessness, crime, the underworld and more. In many ways, you'll find out for yourself as you read how similar we are, albeit your background may be in no way comparable to mine. You and I are the same. You know, the less you invest in yourself the less you are worth to yourself. This is a fact I learned along the way, and this book will do the same for you. Picture it as an investment. Now, remember when I said I was the "Unwanted, bastard child?" Well, that wasn't quite the whole story. I was also told that apart from being "worthless" I would never do anything with my life because I was and always would be a "failure." Well, here begins the story of how failure became a success. Enjoy the read.

Book Synopsis The Political Ecology of Malaria by : Matian van Soest
Download or read book The Political Ecology of Malaria written by Matian van Soest and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malaria remains one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa. Matian van Soest looks at the malaria epidemic in the peri-urban zones of Uganda's capital Kampala against the backdrop of recent socio-ecological transformations. Based on long-term ethnographic research, the book provides a holistic picture of the malaria epidemic in central Uganda, revealing the highly localized character of an epidemic that once spanned across almost the entire globe. Understanding, and ultimately tackling the disease, requires an appreciation of the social, political, as well as ecological circumstances that frame this epidemic.
