Book Description
"It can’t be. Birds drink water, not whiskey. I know I’m tired and hungry so it must be a trick of the light,” Trevor Wilson said while relaxing after a hard day hiking up the Pacific Crest Trail. A small cup of the potent beverage, surrounded by wild rose pedals atop a granite outcropping and lit by the moon was being visited by creatures that only exist in the minds of writers and artists, Trevor thought: fairies. Trevor's encounter of the fairy kind led to another fey meeting, one that would see him and his small Chihuahua Tinkerbell rescue a woman's cat further down the trail. Accompanied by their new friend Link, the five embarked on an adventure that would change the humans' lives forever.

Grandmothers on Guard
Author: Jennifer Johnson
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477322779
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
For about a decade, one of the most influential forces in US anti-immigrant politics was the Minuteman Project. The armed volunteers made headlines patrolling the southern border. What drove their ethno-nationalist politics? Jennifer L. Johnson spent hundreds of hours observing and interviewing Minutemen, hoping to answer that question. She reached surprising conclusions. While the public face of border politics is hypermasculine—men in uniforms, fatigues, and suits—older women were central to the Minutemen. Women mobilized support and took part in border missions. These women compel us to look beyond ideological commitments and material benefits in seeking to understand the appeal of right-wing politics. Johnson argues that the women of the Minutemen were motivated in part by the gendered experience of aging in America. In a society that makes old women irrelevant, aging white women found their place through anti-immigrant activism, which wedded native politics to their concern for the safety of their families. Grandmothers on Guard emphasizes another side of nationalism: the yearning for inclusion. The nation the Minutemen imagined was not only a space of exclusion but also one in which these women could belong.
