Book excerpt: 'I laughed, shed tears and felt those goosebumps when you know your soul is being spoken to and nourished.' Chelsea Watego 'Searingly funny and fiercely feminist.' Jane Caro 'A book that breathes wisdom.' b>Paul Callaghan 'An important and beautiful story told with tremendous heart.' Mia Freedman 'If you've ever dimmed your light, hated how you look or searched for your beauty in all the wrong places, this book is for you.' Gigorou (jig-goo-roo) means 'beauty' or 'beautiful' in Jirrbal, the language of Sasha Kutabah Sarago's grandmother. Growing up, Sasha didn't feel gigorou. At a young age, she was told, 'You're too pretty to be Aboriginal'. Since then, she's been on a journey to reconcile her conflict with beauty. In this intimately fierce, funny and reflective book, Sasha retraces her footsteps as a beauty assistant, model and magazine editor to find the answers she's searching for. Through conversations with her matriarchs, and the creation stories gifted to her, Sasha unlocks an ancestral wisdom – the key to healing and reclaiming her femininity. In a time where the patriarchy obstructs women from the divine feminine, and sexism, racism and ageism violate our sovereignty, Gigorou invites us to explore the interconnectedness of Aboriginal culture to resolve our relationship with beauty and ourselves. 'Sasha writes with purpose and power. You'll wish your younger self read this book, and you'll thank Sasha for writing it. Gigorou is a gift.' Alley Pascoe 'Packed with grace, nostalgia and so much style ... a blueprint for how to step gloriously into your rightful space.' Justine Cullen 'A brilliant representation of the way we walk in two worlds from a young age, asking ourselves how we fit into western society when they don't accept us and we don't see ourselves reflected.' Elaine George
Book Synopsis The One Thing We've Never Spoken About by : Elfy Scott
Download or read book The One Thing We've Never Spoken About written by Elfy Scott and published by Pantera Press. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation into the failings of Australia's mental healthcare system, grounded in a personal story of a mother–daughter relationship. Journalist Elfy Scott grew up in a household where her mother's schizophrenia was rarely, if ever, spoken about. For many years, this complex mental health condition was treated as an open secret. Over the past two decades, admirable work has been done to generate public dialogue about more common mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. But complex conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and psychosis have been left behind, as have many of the people who live with these conditions or who care for them. Part memoir, part deep-dive investigation, The One Thing We've Never Spoken About is filled with rage at how our nation's public discourse, emergency services and healthcare systems continue to fail so many people. It is also a work of care, telling the little-heard stories of people who live with these conditions and work at the front lines of mental health. Above all, this timely, compelling book is informed by hope and courage, breaking down taboos and asking big questions about vulnerability, justice and duty of care in modern Australia.
Book Synopsis The Secret Life of You by : Kerri Sackville
Download or read book The Secret Life of You written by Kerri Sackville and published by Pantera Press. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In this powerful meditation on aloneness – as opposed to loneliness – Kerri blends incisive journalism with critical thinking, research, wit and heartfelt storytelling ... For those burned out by busyness and connectedness, this book is life-changing' Ginger Gorman Why is it so scary to be alone with your own thoughts? When columnist and commentator Kerri Sackville decided to stop filling every idle moment with distraction and learn to be comfortable alone, her quality of life soared. From boosting creativity and productivity, improving self-awareness, building resilience and moral courage, to improving relationships and connection with others, a bit of alone time is vital to wellbeing. But with smart phones, social media, endless streaming and podcast options, as well as the demands of work, family and friends, spending meaningful time on your own can feel impossible, unnecessary, or even indulgent. In The Secret Life of You Kerri Sackville analyses society's attitude towards solitude – why is it okay to eat breakfast at a café on your own but faintly tragic to dine alone? She identifies the roadblocks in the way to unplugging, contemplates aloneness vs loneliness, and looks at the difference between true connection and mere connectivity. Finally, she provides practical advice on how to become comfortable in your own company, in order to enjoy – and even cherish – time alone.
Book Synopsis This Is Where You Have To Go by : Lynda Holden
Download or read book This Is Where You Have To Go written by Lynda Holden and published by Pantera Press. This book was released on 2024-04-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 150,000 adoptions took place in Australia between 1950 and 1975. It is estimated that one in 15 was forced. Proud Dhunghutti woman, laywer, human rights advocate and former midwife Lynda Holden tells her own heartbreaking story and of her fight for justice. In 1970, Lynda was eighteen, unmarried and pregnant when she was forced to give her baby up for adoption. She was sent by a doctor to a Catholic girls' home for unmarried mothers, and told she'd have no hope of keeping her child because she was Aboriginal. After twenty-six years, Lynda was finally able to make contact with her lost son – but the much wished for reunion didn't go well. When she looked into the adoption records, she found a web of lies – lies about her family, the baby's father, her 'consent' for the adoption – and her Indigenous heritage had been completely erased. So began a quest for justice: Lynda took on the Catholic Church in an attempt to right the wrongs of the past. In this incredibly powerful memoir, she sheds light on the lasting impacts of forced adoption on mothers, children and their families, and gives voice to the countless women who have been silenced for generations.

Where are our hidden queer histories? How do kinks and fetishes play with the idea of sex? And why does pornography have so much power over us? Kinky History aims to blow open our conversation about sexuality and gender. Strap yourself in (or on?) – let's build a more liberated, sex-positive future.

Download or read book Runaway Horses written by Yukio Mishima and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yukio Mishima’s Runaway Horses is the second novel in his masterful tetralogy, The Sea of Fertility. Again we encounter Shigekuni Honda, who narrates this epic tale of what he believes are the successive reincarnations of his childhood friend Kiyoaki Matsugae. In 1932, Shigeuki Honda has become a judge in Osaka. Convinced that a young rightist revolutionary, Isao, is the reincarnation of his friend Kiyoaki, Honda commits himself to saving the youth from an untimely death. Isao, driven to patriotic fanaticism by a father who instilled in him the ethos of the ancient samurai, organizes a violent plot against the new industrialists who he believes are usurping the Emperor’s rightful power and threatening the very integrity of the nation. Runaway Horses is the chronicle of a conspiracy — a novel about the roots and nature of Japanese fanaticism in the years that led to war.

Book Synopsis Proclus: Commentary on Plato's Timaeus: Volume 4, Book 3, Part 2, Proclus on the World Soul by : Proclus
Download or read book Proclus: Commentary on Plato's Timaeus: Volume 4, Book 3, Part 2, Proclus on the World Soul written by Proclus and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-12-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present volume Proclus describes the 'creation' of the soul that animates the entire universe. This is not a literal creation, for Proclus argues that Plato means only to convey the eternal dependence of the World Soul upon higher causes. In his exegesis of Plato's text, Proclus addresses a range of issues in Pythagorean harmonic theory, as well as questions about the way in which the World Soul knows both forms and the visible reality that comprises its body. This part of Proclus' Commentary is particularly responsive to the interpretive tradition that precedes it. As a result, this volume is especially significant for the study of the Platonic tradition from the earliest commentators onwards.
