Book Synopsis Strangers in Their Own Land by : Arlie Russell Hochschild
Download or read book Strangers in Their Own Land written by Arlie Russell Hochschild and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestseller that became a guide and balm for a country struggling to understand the election of Donald Trump "A generous but disconcerting look at the Tea Party. . . . This is a smart, respectful and compelling book." —Jason DeParle, The New York Times Book Review When Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, a bewildered nation turned to Strangers in Their Own Land to understand what Trump voters were thinking when they cast their ballots. Arlie Hochschild, one of the most influential sociologists of her generation, had spent the preceding five years immersed in the community around Lake Charles, Louisiana, a Tea Party stronghold. As Jedediah Purdy put it in the New Republic, "Hochschild is fascinated by how people make sense of their lives. . . . [Her] attentive, detailed portraits . . . reveal a gulf between Hochchild's 'strangers in their own land' and a new elite." Already a favorite common read book in communities and on campuses across the country and called "humble and important" by David Brooks and "masterly" by Atul Gawande, Hochschild's book has been lauded by Noam Chomsky, New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu, and countless others. The paperback edition features a new afterword by the author reflecting on the election of Donald Trump and the other events that have unfolded both in Louisiana and around the country since the hardcover edition was published, and also includes a readers' group guide at the back of the book.
Download or read book A Personal Stand written by Trace Adkins and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Country music superstar Trace Adkins isn’t exactly known for holding back what’s on his mind. And if the millions of albums he’s sold are any indication, when Trace talks, people listen. Now, in A Personal Stand, Trace Adkins delivers his maverick manifesto on politics, personal responsibility, fame, parenting, being true to yourself, hard work, and the way things oughta be. In his inimitable pull-no-punches style, Trace gives us the state of the union as he sees it, from the lessons of his boyhood in small-town Louisiana to what he’s learned headlining concerts around the world. Trace has worked oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, been shot in the heart, been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, and braved perhaps the greatest challenge of all: being the father of five daughters. And shaped by these experiences, he’s sounding off. • I’m incredibly frustrated with the state of American politics. If there were a viable third party, I’d seriously consider joining it. • If anybody wonders who the good guys are and who the bad guys are in this world, just look at the way we teach our children as opposed to the way the fundamentalist Muslims teach their children. • Organized labor now exists for the sake of organized labor, and not for the workers it once protected. • I believe the easiest way to solve the illegal immigration enforcement problem is to go after the employers who hire illegal aliens. • As a society, we’re unwilling to sacrifice our luxuries and our conveniences in order to conserve. We won’t change until we’re forced to. • The war on terror is like herpes. People can live with it, but it’ll flare up from time to time. Brash, ballsy, persuasive, and controversial, A Personal Stand isn’t just the story of Trace Adkins’s life; it’s the story of what life can teach all of us.

Appealing to the general adult audience, worldwide travelers, Japanese descendants, French descendants in New Orleans, crime solvers, and fact learners, this new novel revolves around the old adage What goes around comes around. This book was born out of the authors encounter with an airplane crash of a wealthy family. That intrigued me to put it into the human drama. I also want to highlight life in general under the belief of what goes around comes around, she shares. In this book, a mysterious family tragedy tears loved ones apart for nearly two decades. The criminals who meticulously plan the grand larceny and the airplane crash almost get away with murder until incriminating evidence appears. The family reunites and the lost fortune is about to surface. It wont be too long before Delayed Justice is served on a cold platter.

Book Synopsis In the Place of Justice by : Wilbert Rideau
Download or read book In the Place of Justice written by Wilbert Rideau and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1961, young, black, eighth-grade dropout Wilbert Rideau despaired of his small-town future in the segregated deep south of America. He set out to rob the local bank and after a bungled robbery he killed the bank teller, a fifty-year-old white female. He was arrested and gave a full confession. When we meet Rideau he has just been sentenced to death row, from where he embarks on an extraordinary journey. He is imprisoned at Angola, the most violent prison in America, where brutality, sexual slavery and local politics confine prisoners in ways that bars alone cannot. Yet Rideau breaks through all this and finds hope and meaning, becoming editor of the prison magazine, going on to win national journalism awards. Full of gritty realism and potent in its evocation of a life condemned, Rideau goes far beyond the traditional prison memoir and reveals an emotionally wrought and magical conclusion to his forty-four years in prison.

This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book "" Searching Through Life ~ Sacrifice Unto Me ~ Giving Up Sin To Have Faith To Dream Again, this book will let you see a side of yourself that you probably never notice. This book will give you a chance to make that change. Just give God a chance. You can be encouraged with the power words of God by reading His word becoming stronger, not only for yourself, but for your family, friends, co-workers, or who ever you come in contact with. God wants to share His life with everyone in the world. We can be in the pit of life, but we don't have to stay there. God wants to give us life, and want us to prosper. Can't you just see yourself, living a different life, doing the things God wants you to do. So take this time to thank Him, and give him some praise. In the chapter, A Sinful See, I talk about the five tips to remember if we are afrai9d about how the world is going. He's about to give us peace. Let me tell you what the bible says. While writing this, I referred to the Bible. Here is another way of what I'm talking about. In (Psalm 27) the Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. You are not lone many are seeking the answer to the confusion, the sickness, the Spiritual Battle that oppresses the world. For years many have been running form what should be running to. This is a very easy reading book. Our daily newspapers give us reports of corruption in high places. We are the most informed people in the history of civilization and yet the most confused. We can't forget the paths of fame and fortune, of pleasure and power. We are like children at times. We forget who God is, so we try anything. If we are going to be serious about walking with God, we have to understand who He is who we are in the light of Him. Knowledge is power, with that we are on the right path. You can start today and read this book, and let God lead you in the right path. Some say I have time to do their own thing, but God wants us to come to him today. I thank you taking the time to read this book. God Bless You. Rev. Clarence Hagger
