Download or read book Exile and Pride written by Eli Clare and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, the groundbreaking Exile and Pride is essential to the history and future of disability politics. Eli Clare's revelatory writing about his experiences as a white disabled genderqueer activist/writer established him as one of the leading writers on the intersections of queerness and disability and permanently changed the landscape of disability politics and queer liberation. With a poet's devotion to truth and an activist's demand for justice, Clare deftly unspools the multiple histories from which our ever-evolving sense of self unfolds. His essays weave together memoir, history, and political thinking to explore meanings and experiences of home: home as place, community, bodies, identity, and activism. Here readers will find an intersectional framework for understanding how we actually live with the daily hydraulics of oppression, power, and resistance. At the root of Clare's exploration of environmental destruction and capitalism, sexuality and institutional violence, gender and the body politic, is a call for social justice movements that are truly accessible to everyone. With heart and hammer, Exile and Pride pries open a window onto a world where our whole selves, in all their complexity, can be realized, loved, and embraced.

Book Synopsis Gay, Catholic, and American by : Greg Bourke
Download or read book Gay, Catholic, and American written by Greg Bourke and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catholic Greg Bourke's profoundly moving memoir about growing up gay and overcoming discrimination in the battle for same-sex marriage in the US. In this compelling and deeply affecting memoir, Greg Bourke recounts growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, and living as a gay Catholic. The book describes Bourke’s early struggles for acceptance as an out gay man living in the South during the 1980s and ’90s, his unplanned transformation into an outspoken gay rights activist after being dismissed as a troop leader from the Boy Scouts of America in 2012, and his historic role as one of the named plaintiffs in the landmark United States Supreme Court decision Obergefell vs. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015. After being ousted by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), former Scoutmaster Bourke became a leader in the movement to amend antigay BSA membership policies. The Archdiocese of Louisville, because of its vigorous opposition to marriage equality, blocked Bourke’s return to leadership despite his impeccable long-term record as a distinguished boy scout leader. But while making their home in Louisville, Bourke and his husband, Michael De Leon, have been active members at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church for more than three decades, and their family includes two adopted children who attended Lourdes school and were brought up in the faith. Over many years and challenges, this couple has managed to navigate the choppy waters of being openly gay while integrating into the fabric of their parish life community. Bourke is unapologetically Catholic, and his faith provides the framework for this inspiring story of how the Bourke De Leon family struggled to overcome antigay discrimination by both the BSA and the Catholic Church and fought to legalize same-sex marriage across the country. Gay, Catholic, and American is an illuminating account that anyone, no matter their ideological orientation, can read for insight. It will appeal to those interested in civil rights, Catholic social justice, and LGBTQ inclusion.
Book Synopsis When Pride Still Mattered by : David Maraniss
Download or read book When Pride Still Mattered written by David Maraniss and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999 with total page 990 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time he died of cancer in 1970, after one season in Washington during which he transformed the Redskins into winners, Lombardi had become a mythic character who transcended sport, and his legend has only grown in the decades since. Many now turn to Lombardi in search of characteristics that they fear have been irretrievably lost, the oldfashioned virtues of discipline, obedience, loyalty, character, and teamwork. To others he symbolizes something less romantic: modern society's obsession with winning and superficial success. In When Pride Still Mattered, Maraniss renders Lombardi as flawed and driven yet ultimately misunderstood, a heroic figure who was more complex and authentic than the stereotypical images of him propounded by admirers and critics.
Book Synopsis Perseverance by : Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Download or read book Perseverance written by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dive deep into perseverance, one of the core practices of the bodhisattvas, with beloved teacher Lama Zopa Rinpoche as a guide. Awakening depends on fortitude; because, without fortitude there is no merit, as there is no movement without wind. —Shantideva, Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life Perseverance, or virya, is also translated as “energy,” “fortitude,” or “vigor.” One of the six perfections, or paramitas, it is one of the trainings of the bodhisattvas and a deeply necessary quality for the Buddhist path. But it’s far from the kind of head-down, stubborn determination the name could imply; instead, it’s joyful energy that enables us to practice. Rinpoche’s commentary is structured around the fifth and seventh chapters of the beloved Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life by the eighth-century philosopher-poet Shantideva. Interweaving his teaching with Shantideva’s verses, Rinpoche elucidates this prerequisite for enlightenment, explaining what it is and how to cultivate it: guard your mind, gather virtue, work for others—and find incredible joy in these things. “When we have perseverance, we will have no obstacles, which means obstacles to any happiness, especially to ultimate happiness, the freedom from the oceans of samsaric suffering, and most importantly to peerless happiness, the state of the omniscience that is enlightenment.” —Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Human Behavior by : Lance Workman
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Human Behavior written by Lance Workman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 1517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transformative wave of Darwinian insight continues to expand throughout the human sciences. While still centered on evolution-focused fields such as evolutionary psychology, ethology, and human behavioral ecology, this insight has also influenced cognitive science, neuroscience, feminist discourse, sociocultural anthropology, media studies, and clinical psychology. This handbook's goal is to amplify the wave by bringing together world-leading experts to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of evolution-oriented and influenced fields. While evolutionary psychology remains at the core of the collection, it also covers the history, current standing, debates, and future directions of the panoply of fields entering the Darwinian fold. As such, The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Human Behavior is a valuable reference not just for evolutionary psychologists but also for scholars and students from many fields who wish to see how the evolutionary perspective is relevant to their own work.

Book Synopsis Pride and Perseverance by : Donna Franca Franzaroli
Download or read book Pride and Perseverance written by Donna Franca Franzaroli and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franca Franzaroli was born and raised in Rome, Italy. She received her teaching degree from the Magistero University in Rome where she was trained as a Montessori teacher, and taught third grade in an all-girls school before marrying and moving to Boston in 1955. Pride and Perseverance is the story of my life. It begins with my childhood during the Second World War, when I came to understand the meaning of privation and terror with German occupation and the Allied bombings of Rome, the city where I was born. It then follows my formative years in Italy-what I learned in and out of school, especially what my extended family taught me about being resourceful and productive. Thus, in relating the humble traditions of my grandparents and, moreover, the strong heritage of my mother and father, who left their good farming families in Tuscany for a better life in Rome, my story is about what made me the person I am today, along with my pride in being Italian. It is also about my perseverance--in my personal and professional life. I narrate both my triumphs and hardships in the U.S. as the twenty-two year old bride of an American GI, and later as the mother of four children; and I recount how I turned negative circumstances into positive outcomes through determination and hard work. As one of the few successful female tour operators in the highly competitive travel industry, I had to set ambitious goals and prove myself time and again, while maintaining my integrity and providing an outstanding quality of service to all of my clients. Sharing with them my passion for Italy-either as their first exposure to my country, or as their reconnection with their own Italian roots-has been one of my proudest achievements. Finally, my story expresses an abiding belief that facing challenges and hardships can only strengthen our character and discipline us to become confident in our abilities and help us to actualize the successful, strong individual within each of us. And as a special "gift" to my readers, every chapter of my book includes a truly authentic Italian recipe based on my own culinary creations and the expertise of the many chefs I have met in my travels throughout the regions of Italy. It is my hope that readers will enjoy "la cucina italiana" with a hearty "Buon appetito"!
