Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning the length and breadth of the twentieth century, Alice Mattison's masterful In Case We're Separated looks at a family of Jewish immigrants in the 1920s and 1930s and follows the urban, emotionally turbulent lives of their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren against a backdrop of political assassination, the Vietnam War, and the AIDS epidemic. Beginning with the title story, which introduces Bobbie Kaplowitz—a single mother in 1954 Brooklyn whose lover is married and whose understanding of life is changed by a broken kitchen appliance—Mattison displays her unparalleled gift for storytelling and for creating rich, multidimensional characters, a gift that has led the Los Angeles Times to praise her as "a writer's writer."
Book Synopsis Without Separation by : Larry Dane Brimner
Download or read book Without Separation written by Larry Dane Brimner and published by Astra Publishing House. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the story of Roberto Alvarez, whose court battle against racism and school segregation in Lemon Grove, CA, is considered the first time an immigrant community used the courts to successfully fight injustice. Roberto Alvarez's world changed the day he could no longer attend Lemon Grove Grammar School in the small, rural community where he lived near San Diego, California. He and the other Mexican American students were told they had to go to a new, separate school. A school just for them. A school where they would not hold back the other students. But Roberto and the other students and their families believed the new school's real purpose was to segregate, to separate. They didn't think that was right, or just, or legal. This historical fiction picture book by Sibert award-winning author Larry Dane Brimner and Pura Belpré award-winning illustrator Maya Gonzalez follows Roberto and the other immigrant families on their journey in 1931 as they battle against separation and prejudice in one of America's landmark segregation cases.
Download or read book Separated written by Jacob Soboroff and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "The seminal book on the child-separation policy." —Rachel Maddow The award-winning NBC News correspondent lays bare the full truth behind America’s systematic separation of families at the US-Mexico border. Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist | American Book Award Winner | American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award Finalist In June 2018, Donald Trump’s most notorious decision as president had secretly been in effect for months before most Americans became aware of the astonishing inhumanity being perpetrated by their own government—the deliberate separation of migrant parents and children at U.S. border facilities. Jacob Soboroff was among the first journalists to expose this reality after seeing firsthand the living conditions of the children in custody. His influential series of reports ignited public scrutiny that contributed to the president reversing his own policy and earned Soboroff the Cronkite Award for Excellence in Political Broadcast Journalism and, with his colleagues, the 2019 Hillman Prize for Broadcast Journalism. But beyond the headlines, the complete, multilayered story lay untold. How, exactly, had such a humanitarian tragedy—now deemed “torture” by physicians—happened on American soil? Most important, what has been the human experience of those separated children and parents? Soboroff has spent the past two years reporting the many strands of this complex narrative, developing sources from within the Trump administration who share critical details for the first time. He also traces the dramatic odyssey of one separated family from Guatemala, where their lives were threatened by narcos, to seek asylum at the U.S. border, where they were separated—the son ending up in Texas, and the father thousands of miles away, in the Mojave desert of central California. And he joins the heroes who emerged to challenge the policy, and who worked on the ground to reunite parents with children. In this essential reckoning, Soboroff weaves together these key voices with his own experience covering this national issue—at the border in Texas, California, and Arizona; with administration officials in Washington, D.C., and inside the disturbing detention facilities. Separated lays out compassionately, yet in the starkest of terms, its human toll, and makes clear what is at stake as America struggles to reset its immigration policies post-Trump.

But does separation have to mean the end? You may not feel like reconciling. You may not see hope for a reunion. But the biblical ideal for a separated couple is reconciliation. So how do you do it? When doors slam and angry words fly, when things just aren't working out, and even when your spouse has abandoned your trust, there is hope. Hope for the Separated will show you through God's Word that your marriage can be restored.

Book Synopsis Separated by Their Sex by : Mary Beth Norton
Download or read book Separated by Their Sex written by Mary Beth Norton and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-16 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Separated by Their Sex, Mary Beth Norton offers a bold genealogy that shows how gender came to determine the right of access to the Anglo-American public sphere by the middle of the eighteenth century. Earlier, high-status men and women alike had been recognized as appropriate political actors, as exemplified during and after Bacon’s Rebellion by the actions of—and reactions to—Lady Frances Berkeley, wife of Virginia’s governor. By contrast, when the first ordinary English women to claim a political voice directed group petitions to Parliament during the Civil War of the 1640s, men relentlessly criticized and parodied their efforts. Even so, as late as 1690, Anglo-American women’s political interests and opinions were publicly acknowledged. Norton traces the profound shift in attitudes toward women’s participation in public affairs to the age’s cultural arbiters, including John Dunton, editor of the Athenian Mercury, a popular 1690s periodical that promoted women’s links to husband, family, and household. Fittingly, Dunton was the first author known to apply the word "private" to women and their domestic lives. Subsequently, the immensely influential authors Richard Steele and Joseph Addison (in the Tatler and the Spectator) advanced the notion that women’s participation in politics—even in political dialogues—was absurd. They and many imitators on both sides of the Atlantic argued that women should confine themselves to home and family, a position that American women themselves had adopted by the 1760s. Colonial women incorporated the novel ideas into their self-conceptions; during such "private" activities as sitting around a table drinking tea, they worked to define their own lives. On the cusp of the American Revolution, Norton concludes, a newly gendered public-private division was firmly in place.
Book Synopsis Marital Separation and Lethal Domestic Violence by : Desmond Ellis
Download or read book Marital Separation and Lethal Domestic Violence written by Desmond Ellis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to investigate the effects of participation in separation or divorce proceedings on femicide (murder of a female), femicide-suicide, homicide, and suicide. Because separation is one of the most significant predictors of domestic violence, this book is exclusively devoted to theorizing, researching, and preventing lethal domestic violence or other assaults triggered by marital separation. The authors provide evidence supporting the use of an estrangement-specific risk assessment and estrangement-focused public education to prevent murders and assaults. This information is needed not only by instructors in criminal justice and sociology programs, but by researchers theorizing about or investigating domestic violence. In the world of practitioners, family court judges, divorce mediators, family lawyers, prosecutors involved in bail hearings, shelter staff, and family counselors urgently need this resource. Ellis et al. include discussion questions and chapter objectives to support learners in the classroom or in community-based settings, and instructor support material includes PowerPoint lecture slides, additional teaching and research resources, and a test bank. This text advocates convincingly for prevention of domestic violence, and gives academics and practitioners the tools they need.

Book Synopsis The Wall of Separation by : Frank Joseph Sorauf
Download or read book The Wall of Separation written by Frank Joseph Sorauf and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of some of the most anguished constitutional controversies of our time, those involving the issue of separation of church and state. Few questions stimulated debate as intense as that over prayer in public schools and public aid to parochial schools. In contrast to previous studies, which have focused on the substance of the issues, Frank J. Sorauf's book concentrates on the judicial process in its social and political context. The author discusses all sixty-seven cases in this area of litigation decided by high American appellate courts from 1951 to 1971. He has interviewed the plaintiffs, attorneys, and members of the groups bringing suit, and describes their strategies and goals, their successes and failures. The community context in which the cases developed, as well as the judges and the courts deciding them, is described and analyzed. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Book Synopsis HR Policies on Employee Separation in PSUs in India by : DR. M. K. RAVI
Download or read book HR Policies on Employee Separation in PSUs in India written by DR. M. K. RAVI and published by DR. M. K. RAVI. This book was released on with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses human resource management in PSUs. The aim was to explore the Human Resource Policies of the employee separation of employees in PSUs in India. The book consists of a compilation of six chapters and an extended summary. The study in the book is based on a combination of multiple, comparative, and single-case studies of PSUs in India. The core studies were conducted by the author at 29 PSUs in 40 Cities of 18 States, The results indicate central challenges regarding HR Policies on employee separation by Termination, Suspension, Dismissal, Retirement, Voluntary Retirement Scheme, Layoff, Resignations, Non-Promotion, Physical Disability, besides other policies. The increased responsibility and pressured work environment for PSU’s employees/workers. This study was aimed at identifying certain variables related to HR policies on employee separation in PSUs in India. The study determines the effect of HR policies on the satisfaction level of employees as well as legal compliances with the impact of gender, experience, age-wise difference, type of separation. The population of the study was HR Directors, General Managers, HR Managers, and employees working in PSUs in India. There were 14100 male and female PSU employees who responded to the author. The questionnaire instrument was used for data collection from various PSUs, and the HR policies assessment was done. The author used it after getting the formal permissions from the PSUs. The study addressed the following specific objectives; the first was to survey HR Policies of employees of PSUs, the second was to study and determine the different types of HR Policies related to employee separation in PSUs in India, and the third was to survey the behavior of employees towards Voluntary /Non-voluntary Separation. The study specifically discussed the hypothesis of study mainly classified into seven hypothesis such as (1) HR Policies Related - There was no significant difference of perception about HR Policies between PSU regular and separated employee (2) HR Policies and Discrimination/ Harassment related - There was no significant difference of perception between regular and separated employees so far as HR Policies of PSU and Discrimination/ Harassment at PSU (3) Employee Separation related - There was no significant difference between regular and separated employees about HR Policies and employee separation at PSU. The author had used a comprehensive and stratified questionnaire distributed to about 15000 persons consisting of workers, supervisors, officials, and managers of PSUs, out of which, only 14275 were received back duly filled, the remaining didn’t respond in spite of repeated visits. The 175 questionnaires were rejected due to incomplete and wrong answers by respondents. There were 14100 valid questionnaires that were found valid for the purpose of the study. There were total three questionnaires, which were: (1) ESS1 - What employees Say (For regular and separated employees of PSUs) (2) ESS2 - What PSUs Says (For Director/Managers of HR/Legal Dept. of PSU), (3) ESS3 - What Govt. Dept. Says (For Govt. Dept. of Public Enterprise). The statistical tools used for analysis include Frequency, Percentages, Mean, Standard Deviation (S.D.), T-Test, and Chi-Square Test. The author is sure that the study was a fact-finding and pioneer, and motivates and stimulates further researches in this field. I wrote this book especially for Director (Human Resource), Human Resource Managers, which will certainly help them to understand the various legal aspects of HR Policies related to Employee Separation to enhance the productivity and efficiency of performance of employees in the organizations.

Book Synopsis Separation of Church and State by : Philip HAMBURGER
Download or read book Separation of Church and State written by Philip HAMBURGER and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a powerful challenge to conventional wisdom, Philip Hamburger argues that the separation of church and state has no historical foundation in the First Amendment. The detailed evidence assembled here shows that eighteenth-century Americans almost never invoked this principle. Although Thomas Jefferson and others retrospectively claimed that the First Amendment separated church and state, separation became part of American constitutional law only much later. Hamburger shows that separation became a constitutional freedom largely through fear and prejudice. Jefferson supported separation out of hostility to the Federalist clergy of New England. Nativist Protestants (ranging from nineteenth-century Know Nothings to twentieth-century members of the K.K.K.) adopted the principle of separation to restrict the role of Catholics in public life. Gradually, these Protestants were joined by theologically liberal, anti-Christian secularists, who hoped that separation would limit Christianity and all other distinct religions. Eventually, a wide range of men and women called for separation. Almost all of these Americans feared ecclesiastical authority, particularly that of the Catholic Church, and, in response to their fears, they increasingly perceived religious liberty to require a separation of church from state. American religious liberty was thus redefined and even transformed. In the process, the First Amendment was often used as an instrument of intolerance and discrimination.
