Download or read book And We Rise written by Erica Martin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful, impactful, eye-opening journey that explores through the Civil Rights Movement in 1950s-1960s America in spare and evocative verse, with historical photos interspersed throughout. In stunning verse and vivid use of white space, Erica Martin's debut poetry collection walks readers through the Civil Rights Movement—from the well-documented events that shaped the nation’s treatment of Black people, beginning with the "Separate but Equal" ruling—and introduces lesser-known figures and moments that were just as crucial to the Movement and our nation's centuries-long fight for justice and equality. A poignant, powerful, all-too-timely collection that is both a vital history lesson and much-needed conversation starter in our modern world. Complete with historical photographs, author's note, chronology of events, research, and sources.

Book excerpt: "Hip, entertaining...imaginative."—Kirkus, starred review *"Essential." —Min Jin Lee * "A Herculean effort."—Lisa Ling * "A must-read."—Ijeoma Oluo * "Get two copies."—Shea Serrano * "A book we've needed for ages." —Celeste Ng * "Accessible, informative, and fun." —Cathy Park Hong * "This book has serious substance...Also, I'm in it."—Ronny Chieng RISE is a love letter to and for Asian Americans--a vivid scrapbook of voices, emotions, and memories from an era in which our culture was forged and transformed, and a way to preserve both the headlines and the intimate conversations that have shaped our community into who we are today. When the Hart-Celler Act passed in 1965, opening up US immigration to non-Europeans, it ushered in a whole new era. But even to the first generation of Asian Americans born in the US after that milestone, it would have been impossible to imagine that sushi and boba would one day be beloved by all, that a Korean boy band named BTS would be the biggest musical act in the world, that one of the most acclaimed and popular movies of 2018 would be Crazy Rich Asians, or that we would have an Asian American Vice President. And that’s not even mentioning the creators, performers, entrepreneurs, execs and influencers who've been making all this happen, behind the scenes and on the screen; or the activists and representatives continuing to fight for equity, building coalitions and defiantly holding space for our voices and concerns. And still: Asian America is just getting started. The timing could not be better for this intimate, eye-opening, and frequently hilarious guided tour through the pop-cultural touchstones and sociopolitical shifts of the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and beyond. Jeff Yang, Phil Yu, and Philip Wang chronicle how we’ve arrived at today’s unprecedented diversity of Asian American cultural representation through engaging, interactive infographics (including a step-by-step guide to a night out in K-Town, an atlas that unearths historic Asian American landmarks, a handy “Appreciation or Appropriation?” flowchart, and visual celebrations of both our "founding fathers and mothers" and the nostalgia-inducing personalities of each decade), plus illustrations and graphic essays from major AAPI artists, exclusive roundtables with Asian American cultural icons, and more, anchored by extended insider narratives of each decade by the three co-authors. Rise is an informative, lively, and inclusive celebration of both shared experiences and singular moments, and all the different ways in which we have chosen to come together.

Download or read book Rise written by Lindsey Vonn and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first ever memoir from the most decorated female skier of all time, revealing never-before-told stories of her life in the fast lane, her struggle with depression, and the bold decisions that helped her break down barriers on and off the slopes. 82 World Cup wins. 20 World Cup titles. 3 Olympic medals. 7 World Championship Medals. A fixture in the American sports landscape for almost twenty years, Lindsey Vonn is a legend. With a career that spanned a transformation in how America recognizes and celebrates female athletes, Vonn—who retired in 2019 as the most decorated American skier of all time—was in the vanguard of that change, helping blaze a trail for other world-class female athletes and reimagining what it meant to pursue speed at all costs. In Rise, Vonn shares her incredible journey for the first time, going behind the scenes of a badass life built around resilience and risk-taking. One of the most aggressive skiers ever, Vonn offers a fascinating glimpse into the relentless pursuit of her limits, a pursuit so focused on one-upping herself that she pushed her body past its breaking point as she achieved greatness. While this iconic grit and perseverance helped her battle a catalog of injuries, these injuries came with a cost—physical, of course, but also mental. Vonn opens up about her decades-long depression and struggles with self-confidence, discussing candidly how her mental health challenges influenced her career without defining her. Through it all, she dissects the moments that sidelined her and how, each time, she clawed her way back using an iconoclastic approach rooted in hard work—pushing boundaries, challenging expectations, and speaking her mind, even when it got her into trouble. At once empowering and raw, Rise is an inspirational look at her hard-fought success as well as an honest appraisal of the sacrifices she made along the way—an emotional journey of winning that understands all too well that every victory comes with a price.
Download or read book Rise and Float written by Brian Tierney and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chosen by Randall Mann as a winner of the Jake Adam York Prize, Brian Tierney’s Rise and Float depicts the journey of a poet working—remarkably, miraculously—to make our most profound, private wounds visible on the page. With the “corpse of Frost” under his heel, Tierney reckons with a life that resists poetic rendition. The transgenerational impact of mental illness, a struggle with disordered eating, a father’s death from cancer, the loss of loved ones to addiction and suicide—all of these compound to “month after / month” and “dream / after dream” of struck-through lines. Still, Tierney commands poetry’s cathartic potential through searing images: wallpaper peeling like “wrist skin when a grater slips,” a “laugh as good as a scream,” pears as hard as a tumor. These poems commune with their ghosts not to overcome, but to release. The course of Rise and Float is not straightforward. Where one poem gently confesses to “trying, these days, to believe again / in people,” another concedes that “defeat / sometimes is defeat / without purpose.” Look: the chair is just a chair.” But therein lies the beauty of this collection: in the proximity (and occasional overlap) of these voices, we see something alluringly, openly human. Between a boy “torn open” by dogs and a suicide, “two beautiful teenagers are kissing.” Between screams, something intimate—hope, however difficult it may be.
Book Synopsis From the New Deal to the War on Schools by : Daniel S. Moak
Download or read book From the New Deal to the War on Schools written by Daniel S. Moak and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era defined by political polarization, both major U.S. parties have come to share a remarkably similar understanding of the education system as well as a set of punitive strategies for fixing it. Combining an intellectual history of social policy with a sweeping history of the educational system, Daniel S. Moak looks beyond the rise of neoliberalism to find the origin of today's education woes in Great Society reforms. In the wake of World War II, a coalition of thinkers gained dominance in U.S. policymaking. They identified educational opportunity as the ideal means of addressing racial and economic inequality by incorporating individuals into a free market economy. The passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) in 1965 secured an expansive federal commitment to this goal. However, when social problems failed to improve, the underlying logic led policymakers to hold schools responsible. Moak documents how a vision of education as a panacea for society's flaws led us to turn away from redistributive economic policies and down the path to market-based reforms, No Child Left Behind, mass school closures, teacher layoffs, and other policies that plague the public education system to this day.
Download or read book And Still I Rise written by Maya Angelou and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maya Angelou’s unforgettable collection of poetry lends its name to the documentary film about her life, And Still I Rise, as seen on PBS’s American Masters. Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. Thus begins “Phenomenal Woman,” just one of the beloved poems collected here in Maya Angelou’s third book of verse. These poems are powerful, distinctive, and fresh—and, as always, full of the lifting rhythms of love and remembering. And Still I Rise is written from the heart, a celebration of life as only Maya Angelou has discovered it. “It is true poetry she is writing,” M.F.K. Fisher has observed, “not just rhythm, the beat, rhymes. I find it very moving and at times beautiful. It has an innate purity about it, unquenchable dignity. . . . It is astounding, flabbergasting, to recognize it, in all the words I read every day and night . . . it gives me heart, to hear so clearly the caged bird singing and to understand her notes.”

Book Synopsis 2023 Taiwan Health and Welfare Report by : The Ministry of Health and Welfare
Download or read book 2023 Taiwan Health and Welfare Report written by The Ministry of Health and Welfare and published by The Ministry of Health and Welfare. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic continued to spread in 2022. However, with the increasing distribution of vaccines and the emergence of less severe viral variants, the Ministry of Health and Welfare changed its focus from a strict containment epidemic prevention policy to a strategic policy of coexistence. Drawing upon the wealth of experience and adaptability gained from past challenges, we progressively embarked on a path towards easing pandemic restrictions. Furthermore, guided by our vision to be "the most trustworthy ministry for the people," we remained committed to continuously elevating healthcare professionalism, integrating and effectively allocating social welfare resources, and aligning ourselves with the global health and welfare system. Aging and low birth rates remain the most pressing issues facing Taiwan's population. The Ministry continues to create a friendly parenting environment, providing ongoing assistance for infertility treatment, increasing child-raising allowance, and daycare subsidies to alleviate the child-rearing burden on families. In April 2022, we expanded the nationwide "Home Care Program for Low (including extremely low) Birth Weight Infants" to enhance the quality of care. On the other hand, in response to an aged society, the Ministry is actively promoting age-friendly and dementia-friendly environments. By the end of 2022, a total of 585 locations were established in various counties and cities, offering health promotion courses for the elderly to ensure comprehensive and sustained healthcare services. We also funded 40 community nutrition promotion centers and branch centers nationwide, supporting communal dining venues and community food service providers to offer age-friendly dining services. Our efforts further expanded to dementia prevention and friendly community initiatives, implementing policies to "enhance public awareness and friendly attitudes towards dementia" and "reduce the risk of developing dementia." In addition to safeguarding not only the elderly and young but also every individual across their entire lifespan, we have been diligently cultivating a health-supportive environment. To this end, the Ministry continues to drive amendments to the Tobacco Hazards Prevention Act, effectively regulating novel nicotine and tobacco products. Simultaneously, under the provisions of the Mental Health Act, we ensure the protection of patients' rights, offering support and assistance to foster their integration into the community and promote the mental well-being of the people. Furthermore, through the comprehensive implementation of the "Five-Point Food Safety Policy" and a range of measures, such as the promotion of food business registration, intensified inspections and sampling, and more stringent penalties, we have steadfastly enforced food safety policies. At the same time, we have taken great strides in advancing Good Manufacturing Practices for pharmaceuticals, bolstering the monitoring of controlled drugs, and elevating the quality management standards of traditional Chinese medicines, thereby fortifying the foundations of medication safety. In 2022, the "Review Meeting of the ROC's Second Report under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities" in August and the "Review Meeting of the ROC's Second Report under the Convention on the Rights of the Child" in November, were held in Taiwan and the international experts were invited to review the reports. Their expertise promoted the effective implementation of these conventions in Taiwan, while the invaluable insights from diverse stakeholders were warmly embraced. We analyzed global pandemic trends while considering both epidemic resilience and economic activities. The Ministry continues to promote COVID-19 vaccination, providing bivalent second-generation vaccines to the public. We have implemented rolling adjustments to border quarantine and control measures. Residential and community-based care institutions are provided with free rapid test kits, and regular screening measures have been extended to reduce infection risks for vulnerable and high-risk populations. To strengthen economic security, we have increased subsidies for low-income and middle-low-income households, benefiting over 620,000 people. With the goal of "normalcy in daily life, proactive epidemic prevention, and stable opening," we have adjusted the home quarantine close contacts, moderately relaxed mask regulations, and reduced restrictions on hospital visits, gradually moving towards a phased reopening of daily life. The 75th World Health Assembly (WHA) was convened in Geneva, Switzerland, in May 2022. Although Taiwan was not invited to participate in the WHA, MOHW Deputy Minister Li-Feng Lee led the "WHA Action Team" to Geneva. Through hosting professional forums, bilateral meetings, and engaging in related side events, we have continued deepening our collaborative relationships with various countries and international organizations in health. All this serves to convey to the international community Taiwan's determination to persistently engage in international health affairs with professionalism, pragmatism, and a commitment to contribute to international health affairs. To enhance international cooperation and exchange, Taiwan joined the Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI) led by the United States in May 2022. The MOHW can issue digital vaccination certificates in Smart Health Card (SHC) format that can be certified. Furthermore, the MOHW continues promoting the New Southbound Policy in Healthcare. Based on country risk and different cooperation development of the NSP priority countries with Taiwan, additional centers were established in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia, expanding the "7 Countries, 7 Centers" to "7 Countries, 10 Centers" program and promoting the internationalization of Taiwan's healthcare industry. As the COVID-19 policy moves towards coexistence and people's lives gradually return to normalcy after the pandemic, the Ministry will continue to prioritize the care for vulnerable groups and improve the welfare service system. We are committed to establishing and perfecting long-term care systems and service resources, optimizing protection services, fostering a harmonious and supportive society, expanding the healthcare system, and safeguarding the rights and interests of the public in seeking medical care. Our mission is to ensure a safe and secure environment for food and drugs and to enhance the health and well-being of the people in Taiwan.

Book Synopsis Chronicling Stankonia by : Regina Bradley
Download or read book Chronicling Stankonia written by Regina Bradley and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vibrant book pulses with the beats of a new American South, probing the ways music, literature, and film have remixed southern identities for a post–civil rights generation. For scholar and critic Regina N. Bradley, Outkast's work is the touchstone, a blend of funk, gospel, and hip-hop developed in conjunction with the work of other culture creators—including T.I., Kiese Laymon, and Jesmyn Ward. This work, Bradley argues, helps define new cultural possibilities for black southerners who came of age in the 1980s and 1990s and have used hip-hop culture to buffer themselves from the historical narratives and expectations of the civil rights era. Andre 3000, Big Boi, and a wider community of creators emerge as founding theoreticians of the hip-hop South, framing a larger question of how the region fits into not only hip-hop culture but also contemporary American society as a whole. Chronicling Stankonia reflects the ways that culture, race, and southernness intersect in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Although part of southern hip-hop culture remains attached to the past, Bradley demonstrates how younger southerners use the music to embrace the possibility of multiple Souths, multiple narratives, and multiple points of entry to contemporary southern black identity.

This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Selected Issues paper analyzes Nicaragua’s social security system, which is projected to run out of liquid reserves by 2019, several years earlier than anticipated. To avoid burdening the budget, reforms to the system are urgently needed. A deep actuarial, economic, and operational analysis is needed to design a comprehensive reform program. Such a program must ensure that the defined-benefit, pay-as-you-go system can sustain itself for another generation of workers and that improved health care benefits can be maintained. A politically acceptable, pragmatic solution appears within reach. However, the authorities should act quickly to avoid a costly bailout of the system.
