Book Description
Lacrecia Hillis underwent brain surgery to alleviate some of her health issues. When she woke up—days later—her whole life had been changed. Lacrecia suffered a stroke while undergoing brain surgery, which led to a coma. Upon waking up, she became unable to walk and had to relearn a lot of basic things, including how to talk. During her recovery, she had to battle depression. She had to deal with the realities of someone who has suffered a major stroke. With her mobility reduced to a bare minimum and her verbal communication abilities needing rehabilitation from the ground up, she has had to learn to rely on others for the most basic of tasks—not an easy feat for a strong, independent mother of three. This book chronicles Lacrecia’s thoughts before and after brain surgery, as well as her thoughts while battling depression and dealing with all the challenges of surviving a major stroke—how she deals with inconveniences she has never experienced before, how she has learned to let go of the little things, how she finds the motivation to get better, and how she pulls strength from her family and kids—all on her road to Recovery.

From New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe, the first two novels in the enchanting Lowcountry Summer trilogy—now available as an e-boxed set! The Summer Girls For years, Carson Muir has drifted, never really settling, certain only that a life without the ocean is a life half lived.

For years, Dora has played the role of the perfect wife and mother in a loveless marriage. Now her husband has filed for divorce, her child is diagnosed with autism, and her house is on the market.

This is a summer of discovery for all the women of Sea Breeze. Carson returns from Florida to face life-changing decisions, Lucille confronts a health scare, and an unexpected visitor has Harper reconsidering her life’s direction.

The Racial Complex
Author: Fanny Brewster
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429614292
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
In The Racial Complex: A Jungian Perspective on Culture and Race, Fanny Brewster revisits and examines Jung’s classical writing on the theory of complexes, relating it directly to race in modern society. In this groundbreaking exploration, Brewster deepens Jung’s minimalist writing regarding the cultural complexes of American blacks and whites by identifying and re-defining a psychological complex related to ethnicity. Original and insightful, this book provides a close reading of Jung’s complexes theory with an Africanist perspective on raciality and white/black racial relationships. Brewster explores how racial complexes influence personality development, cultural behavior and social and political status, and how they impact contemporary American racial relations. She also investigates aspects of the racial complex including archetypal shadow as core, constellations and their expression, and cultural trauma in the African diaspora. The book concludes with a discussion of racial complexes as a continuous psychological state and how to move towards personal, cultural and collective healing. Analyzing Jung’s work with a renewed lens, and providing fresh comparisons to other literature and films, including Get Out, Brewster extends Jung’s work to become more inclusive of culture and ethnicity, addressing issues which have been left previously unexamined in psychoanalytic thought. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, this book will be of great importance to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies, sociology, politics, history of race, African American studies and African diaspora studies. As this book discusses Jung’s complexes theory in a new light, it will be of immense interest to Jungian analysts and analytical psychologists in practice and in training.

I Don't Like the Blues
Author: B. Brian Foster
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469660431
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
How do you love and not like the same thing at the same time? This was the riddle that met Mississippi writer B. Brian Foster when he returned to his home state to learn about Black culture and found himself hearing about the blues. One moment, Black Mississippians would say they knew and appreciated the blues. The next, they would say they didn't like it. For five years, Foster listened and asked: "How?" "Why not?" "Will it ever change?" This is the story of the answers to his questions. In this illuminating work, Foster takes us where not many blues writers and scholars have gone: into the homes, memories, speculative visions, and lifeworlds of Black folks in contemporary Mississippi to hear what they have to say about the blues and all that has come about since their forebears first sang them. In so doing, Foster urges us to think differently about race, place, and community development and models a different way of hearing the sounds of Black life, a method that he calls listening for the backbeat.
