Race, Ideology, and the Polarization of America in the Age of the Obama Presidency
Author: Blanchard Onanga Ndjila
Publisher: Ethics International Press
ISBN: 1804417084
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
The author contends that the 2008 election of President Barack Obama and his subsequent 2012 re-election were viewed as transformative events that should lead America into a post-modern, post-racial, and post-ideological America. That idealized vision of America turned out to be the incorrect. With the shift in demography, coupled with white American conservatives and Republicans’ fear of losing America to minorities, especially to Blacks, Obama’s presidency failed to transform America into a post-racial nation. The author argues that America became more, rather than less, racially and ideologically polarized, exacerbated by identity politics between Liberals and Conservatives, as well as between Democrats and Republicans. The incompatible and ultimately unreconcilable perception of America made no room for effective collaboration between Obama and Republicans, and has led to subsequent problems and tensions.

I Had a Miscarriage
Author: Jessica Zucker
Publisher: Feminist Press at CUNY
ISBN: 1558612890
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Sixteen weeks into her second pregnancy, psychologist Jessica Zucker miscarried at home, alone. Suddenly, her career, spent specializing in reproductive and maternal mental health, was rendered corporeal, no longer just theoretical. She now had a changed perspective on her life’s work, her patients’ pain, and the crucial need for a zeitgeist shift. Navigating this nascent transition amid her own grief became a catalyst for Jessica to bring voice to this ubiquitous experience. She embarked on a mission to upend the strident trifecta of silence, shame, and stigma that surrounds reproductive loss—and the result is her striking memoir meets manifesto. Drawing from her psychological expertise and her work as the creator of the #IHadaMiscarriage campaign, I Had a Miscarriage is a heart-wrenching, thought-provoking, and validating book about navigating these liminal spaces and the vitality of truth telling—an urgent reminder of the power of speaking openly and unapologetically about the complexities of our lives. Jessica Zucker weaves her own experience and other women's stories into a compassionate and compelling exploration of grief as a necessary, nuanced personal and communal process. She inspires her readers to speak their truth and, in turn, to ignite transformative change within themselves and in our culture.
