Lady Bitch Whore

Publisher:
ISBN: 9781973782292
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Sundeep is a fresh faced twenty-year-old when she arrives in New York having escaped her dysfunctional uber traditional Indian family. She convinces them into letting her attend theatre school, where she is ready to start her brand new existence away from her family's abuse. Almost immediately she becomes involved with her professor who is twice her age while maintaining a relationship with her high school sweetheart who decides to pay her a surprise visit. She realizes that she is caught up in the type of woman she thinks she should be, what she thinks others want her to be, only to realize she has no idea who she really is. And she realizes it is time for her to make a change. So, she must face her past. A past filled with a tormented childhood, abuse and the death of her best friend. Morrison's story gives readers a front row seat to how living a life for others can lead you down a path of destruction. Being a woman is hard. Most of the time we are either on the giving or receiving end of labeling women. Some women strive to attain and maintain these labels while others spend their lives trying to shed them. Morrison's raw honest life story serves as part memoir, part survival guidebook and is what every girl needs to make her journey easier. As a daughter, sister, wife and mother Morrison is fed up with the main stream message that the only way you'll get noticed is by being perfect, mean or sexy. Morrison illustrates how healing your past can help to identify, avoid and shed the label that you often unknowingly wear.

Networks of Outrage and Hope
Author: Manuel Castells
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745695795
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Networks of Outrage and Hope is an exploration of the new forms of social movements and protests that are erupting in the world today, from the Arab uprisings to the indignadas movement in Spain, from the Occupy Wall Street movement to the social protests in Turkey, Brazil and elsewhere. While these and similar social movements differ in many important ways, there is one thing they share in common: they are all interwoven inextricably with the creation of autonomous communication networks supported by the Internet and wireless communication. In this new edition of his timely and important book, Manuel Castells examines the social, cultural and political roots of these new social movements, studies their innovative forms of self-organization, assesses the precise role of technology in the dynamics of the movements, suggests the reasons for the support they have found in large segments of society, and probes their capacity to induce political change by influencing people’s minds. Two new chapters bring the analysis up-to-date and draw out the implications of these social movements and protests for understanding the new forms of social change and political democracy in the global network society.

President Carter
Author: Stuart E. Eizenstat
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1250104572
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 736
Book Description
The definitive history of the Carter Administration from the man who participated in its surprising number of accomplishments—drawing on his extensive and never-before-seen notes. Stuart Eizenstat was at Jimmy Carter’s side from his political rise in Georgia through four years in the White House, where he served as Chief Domestic Policy Adviser. He was directly involved in all domestic and economic decisions as well as in many foreign policy ones. Famous for the legal pads he took to every meeting, he draws on more than 5,000 pages of notes and 350 interviews of all the major figures of the time, to write the comprehensive history of an underappreciated president—and to give an intimate view on how the presidency works. Eizenstat reveals the grueling negotiations behind Carter’s peace between Israel and Egypt, what led to the return of the Panama Canal, and how Carter made human rights a presidential imperative. He follows Carter’s passing of America’s first comprehensive energy policy, and his deregulation of the oil, gas, transportation, and communications industries. And he details the creation of the modern vice-presidency. Eizenstat also details Carter’s many missteps, including the Iranian Hostage Crisis, because Carter’s desire to do the right thing, not the political thing, often hurt him and alienated Congress. His willingness to tackle intractable problems, however, led to major, long-lasting accomplishments. This major work of history shows first-hand where Carter succeeded, where he failed, and how he set up many successes of later presidents.

All About Love
Author: bell hooks
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062862170
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces. “The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness--not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love. As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life.” All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better.
