Download or read book Activists Forever? written by Erik Neveu and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activists Forever? explores the consequences of political involvement on an individual's life. While much of the research in this area has focused on the motivations of entire protests groups, the editors of this volume propose an approach that focuses on actors. This book examines political involvement's socio-biographical effects, or the ways in which political commitment generates or modifies dispositions to act, think, and perceive, in a way that is either consistent with or in contrast to the results of previous socialization. The contents explore what political involvement leads to rather than what causes involvement. Using a variety of case studies, this collection of essays provides global coverage with a focus on participation in major protests in the 1960s and significantly broadens our understanding by looking outside the United States. These essays look at the lasting effects of activists' knowledge, connections, and symbolic capital on their future participation in politics, as well as their personal and professional lives.

Book excerpt: "In January 2001, Lani Imhof and Michael Smith left their jobs, rented out their house, sold their car and headed off on a ten-month odyssey in Latin America. As they travelled through the poorer countries of Bolivia and Peru, they became increasingly uncomfortable with the huge differences between their comparative wealth and the poverty they witnessed in Latin America. Six months into their journey they met a bright and bubbly Quechuan teenager at a village in the highlands of Peru and she introduced them to her family. When Lani and Michael first met the Carbajal Moreira family they had never received mail, didn't have a letterbox and had never heard of email. They were struggling to survive and put food on the table. The six intelligent children had no hope of receiving a higher education. Poor as they were, their generosity and affection touched Lani and Michael's hearts. After the travellers returned to Australia they decided to support the Carbajal Moreiras for the long term; they became godparents to the second eldest daughter and were accepted into the family. What began as a financial commitment blossomed into a life-long bond between the two families which was strengthened by the next two visits they made to Peru to live with the Carbajal Moreiras. This is the story of the growing connection between two families from vastly different backgrounds - a middle class couple from Australia and a poor indigenous family from Peru. It illuminates the differences and the similarities between the lives, experiences and aspirations of the two families, and portrays how the Australian couple's support has resulted in educational and employment opportunities for the children, helping them to break out of the cycle of poverty." -- Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entertaining and unique. This contemporary tale: casts intelligent life within the waves that make up the fabric of the universe, imagines intelligent life on Venus, and follows intelligent life (mostly) on Earth—all human! Reggie lives in the link. He has one goal, connect with the isolated humans living on Earth and bring them into the fold of humanity among the stars. Contact is forbidden. Earthfolk are considered too volatile for the equanimity of life in the link. When Reggie finds out his Earth research is about to be shut down, he must make a choice, follow his dream or give up on Earth forever. Dr. Lisa Kulowski is an accomplished neurologist. When several brain trauma cases with a mysterious pathology show up simultaneously at her hospital, she needs to find out what they have in common, never expecting that it’s her! Trying to save their lives leads Lisa on an incredible journey into the fantastic, one she struggles to accept is real. Stewart is a physicist with trust issues. But he’s open minded, which is helpful when the existence of life on other planets is revealed to him, and he gets the unbelievable opportunity to travel to a very hot planet. That Venus spins on its axis in the opposite direction of all the other planets in Earth's solar system should have tipped him off that something would be off with the place. The trip is not what he expects. When Reggie, Lisa, and Stewart converge, their lives turn into one desperate effort to understand what it means to be human. Was it the greater good that motivated Reggie, or did he simply get too close to one of his research subjects? Can Lisa’s understanding of reality change? Will Stewart ever return home? Whatever happens, humanity will never be the same for Reggie, Lisa, and Stewart . . . or anyone else!

Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Latine Theatre and Performance written by Noe Montez and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Latine Theatre and Performance traces how manifestations of Latine self-determination in contemporary US theatre and performance practices affirm the value of Latine life in a theatrical culture that has a legacy of misrepresentation and erasure. This collection draws on fifty interdisciplinary contributions written by some of the leading Latine theatre and performance scholars and practitioners in the United States to highlight evolving and recurring strategies of world making, activism, and resistance taken by Latine culture makers to gain political agency on and off the stage. The project reveals the continued growth of Latine theatre and performance through chapters covering but not limited to playwriting, casting practices, representation, training, wrestling with anti-Blackness and anti-Indigeneity, theatre for young audiences, community empowerment, and the market forces that govern the US theatre industry. This book enters conversations in performance studies, ethnic studies, American studies, and Latina/e/o/x studies by taking up performance scholar Diana Taylor’s call to consider the ways that “embodied and performed acts generate, record, and transmit knowledge.” This collection is an essential resource for students, scholars, and theatremakers seeking to explore, understand, and advance the huge range and significance of Latine performance.

Book excerpt: “Flor Fernandez Barrios ushers readers into startling proximity to a Cuba seen through the eyes of a woman whose childhood was both shaped and shattered by the beautiful island.

It is gorgeous in the telling. I could not put it down.” —Joy Harjo

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moving, playful memoir of Hans Rosling, Swedish statistics mastermind, researcher extraordinaire and author of the global bestseller, Factfulness, with Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund This is a book that contains very few numbers. Instead, it is about meeting people who have opened my eyes. It was facts that helped him explain how the world works. But it was curiosity and commitment that made the late Hans Rosling, author of the bestselling book Factfulness with Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund, the most popular researcher of our time. How I Learned to Understand the World is Hans Rosling’s own story of how he became a revolutionary thinker, and takes us from the swelter of an emergency clinic in Mozambique, to the World Economic Forum at Davos. In collaboration with Swedish journalist Fanny Härgestam and translated by Dr Anna Paterson, Hans Rosling wrote his memoir with the same joy of storytelling that made a whole world listen when he spoke.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the evening of 3 May 2007, Gerry and Kate McCann returned to their holiday apartment in the resort of Praia da Luz on Portugal's Algarve to every parents' worst nightmare: their daughter, three year- old Madeleine Beth McCann had vanished from her room. The first days and weeks after her disappearance saw an almost unparalleled level of media coverage, as the face of a blonde, giggly little girl and her grief-stricken parents made front pages and news bulletins the world over. However, as opportunities were missed and potential suspects questioned and released, including Gerry and Kate McCann themselves, accusations were levelled on all sides. The competency of the Portuguese police was brought under severe scrutiny, whilst the international media and public has continued to wonder, fairly or not, how a group of parents could leave their young children alone as they dined elsewhere. All the while, Madeleine is still missing and her fate remains unknown. Ten years on, Spanish-based investigative journalist Danny Collins has returned to Praia da Luz to re-examine the case. This is the story of what happened on that terrible night and what has followed since, piecing together the clues and false leads from the original investigation with the Metropolitan Police's efforts in recent years to find Madeleine and solve one of the most talked about cases of the century.

Download or read book The Best of Sabine R. Ulibarrí written by Sabine R. Ulibarrí and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty stories presented bilingually in this volume, many long out of print or available only in Spanish, demonstrate Ulibarri's mastery of the short story. Regional in setting but universal in their concern with the magic of ordinary experience, the stories blend fantasy and realism in their exploration of the human condition. All of them were written in Spanish and then translated, usually by the author, into English. Many of Ulibarri's stories portray the land and people of northern New Mexico. Together, these stories present a living mosaic of Hispanic, Indian, and Anglo people sharing an awe-inspiring yet oftentimes harsh landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and animals. Conversational in tone, they preserved wonderful fragments of local history and folk traditions - witches, ghosts, and penitentes, strong-willed grandmothers, Indian chiefs, and singing cowboys. Other stories come out of the author's overseas experiences; particularly in Ecuador.

Book excerpt: A shred of black lace. A broken hand mirror. A spidery strip of false eyelash. These are the fragments left to Irene Vilar, granddaughter of Lolita Lebrón, the revered political activist for Puerto Rican independence who in 1954 sprayed the U.S. House of Representatives with gunfire, wounding several congressmen, and served twenty-seven years in prison. In The Ladies' Gallery, Vilar revisits the legacy of her grandmother and that of her anguished mother, who leaped to her death from a speeding car when Vilar was eight. Eleven years after her mother's death, Vilar awakens in a psychiatric hospital after her own suicide attempt and begins to face the devastating inheritance of abandonment and suicide passed down from her grandmother and mother. The familial pattern of self-destruction flings open the doors to her national inheritance and the search for identity. Alternating between Vilar's notes from the ward and the unraveling of her family's secrets, this lyrical and powerful memoir of three generations of Puerto Rican women is urgent, impassioned, and unforgettable.
