Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

This book was released on 2021-09-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many countries, the status of women without men is very low; most often they are extremely marginalized from all aspects of society. Widowhood is a problem throughout the world where violence and severe discrimination are increasing due to conflict, unawareness and patriarchal societies in which we live. Widows are viewed as the curse to their families, often blamed of their husband's death where their struggle is invisible and their needs become a distant dream. All of these factors restrict a woman's ability to lead a dignified and empowered life. In India, there are an estimated 40 million widows, many of whom are child widows who have succumbed to a life of discrimination. The self-immolation of widows occurs where women are facing severe cruelty from their community and husband's family where they feel that there is no way out other than ending their life. Globally, sexual exploitation occurs between widows and their in-law's families, leading to psychological trauma, violence, economic insecurity and displacement of their children. Protection of this invisible group of women worldwide must be recognized, especially in developing countries as numerous human rights abuses are occurring against widows every day. The present book is on the socio-economic and psychological condition of widows in India especially Vrindavan. The study of Vrindavan's widows is done on the basis of a field survey. In this book, we tried to attempt not only their condition before widowhood and after widowhood but also their economic condition and the way of surviving after coming to Vrindavan. The book also shows how these widows are in vulnerable conditions and what they expect from the government. And last, suggestions were given by these widows as well as by authors for their welfare. Contents Introduction Objectives and Methodology Socio-Economic and Psychological Condition of Widows in Vrindavan City Economic Condition of the widows in Vrindavan City Vulnerability of Widows in Vrindavan City Conclusion and Suggestions

Book Synopsis Living Into God's Dream by : Catherine Meeks
Download or read book Living Into God's Dream written by Catherine Meeks and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-11-24 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the dream of a "Post-Racial" America remains unfulfilled, the struggle against racism continues, with tools both new and old. This book is a report from the front, combining personal stories and theoretical and theological reflection with examples of the work of dismantling racism and methods for creating the much-needed "safe space" for dialogue on race to occur. Its aim is to demonstrate the ways in which a new conversation on race can be forged. The book addresses issues such as reasons for the failure of past efforts to achieve genuine racial reconciliation, the necessity to honor rage and grief in the process of moving to forgiveness and racial healing, and what whites with privilege and blacks without similar privilege must do to move the work of dismantling racism forward. The authors of this important book engage the question of how dismantling racism in the 21st Century has to be different from the work of the past and offer ways for that journey to progress.
Book Synopsis Decolonial Aesthetics of Blackness in Contemporary Art by : Nkosinkulu, Zingisa

This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decolonial aesthetics of Blackness in contemporary art challenge and redefine traditional narratives, offering a profound critique of historical and ongoing injustices. This approach emphasizes the reclamation and celebration of Black cultural identities through innovative artistic expressions that resist colonialist frameworks and oppressive stereotypes. By emphasizing the experiences and perspectives of Black artists, decolonial aesthetics challenge the power structures presented in art history and highlight the significance of autonomy, representation, and authenticity. To advance this dialogue, it is crucial to support and engage with Black artists and their work, ensuring that their voices are amplified, and their contributions are recognized within art discourse. Decolonial Aesthetics of Blackness in Contemporary Art focuses on the generative audio and visual inscription of blackness as an offering of life and beauty in contemporary art. It discusses the concept of blackness related to modernity, decolonial aesthetics, and ontology of black life and beauty. This book covers topics such as decolonization, visual art, and sociology, and is a useful resource for art historians, visual artists, sociologists, academicians, scientists, and researchers.
Book Synopsis A Theological Understanding of Power for Poverty Alleviation in the Philippines by : Yohan Hong
Download or read book A Theological Understanding of Power for Poverty Alleviation in the Philippines written by Yohan Hong and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-02-28 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book calls attention to the sense of powerlessness of everyday people in the Philippines, and to the missional agency of US-based Filipino Protestants. Through a variety of sociological-theological-missiological perspectives, this book guides you to a journey of discovering what kind of power is in play, how the fallen powers can be named and made visible, and then ultimately the ways through which power should be restored. In this process, the voices, perceptions, stories, and insights of US-based Filipino Protestants are referred to. Filipino American Protestants are no longer "forgotten Asians" in the US. Instead, they actively perceive, negotiate, and exercise power in everyday life, and strive to wield their missional agency in response to God's calling for the transformation of their homeland Philippines, which has been seldom investigated in the academia of Diaspora Missiology and Intercultural Studies.

Download or read book Radical Dreams written by Elliott H. King and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surrealism is widely thought of as an artistic movement that flourished in Europe between the two world wars. However, during the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, diverse radical affinity groups, underground subcultures, and student protest movements proclaimed their connections to surrealism. Radical Dreams argues that surrealism was more than an avant-garde art movement; it was a living current of anti-authoritarian resistance. Featuring perspectives from scholars across the humanities and, distinctively, from contemporary surrealist practitioners, this volume examines surrealism’s role in postwar oppositional cultures. It demonstrates how surrealism’s committed engagement extends beyond the parameters of an artistic style or historical period, with chapters devoted to Afrosurrealism, Ted Joans, punk, the Situationist International, the student protests of May ’68, and other topics. Privileging interdisciplinary, transhistorical, and material culture approaches, contributors address surrealism’s interaction with New Left politics, protest movements, the sexual revolution, psychedelia, and other subcultural trends around the globe. A revelatory work, Radical Dreams definitively shows that the surrealist movement was synonymous with cultural and political radicalism. It will be especially valuable to those interested in the avant-garde, contemporary art, and radical social movements. In addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume include Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen, Jonathan P. Eburne, David Hopkins, Claire Howard, Michael Löwy, Alyce Mahon, Gavin Parkinson, Grégory Pierrot, Penelope Rosemont, Ron Sakolsky, Marie Arleth Skov, Ryan Standfest, and Sandra Zalman.
