Book Description
Vincent Sperando's latest collection of short stories includes the novella, Refugees from Isola Di Spendiosa. Drawing from his extensive travel and vivid imagination, he has created an accomplished and strong work of fiction. In each work the characters and their environments are complexly woven and evoke a reality that is both exaggerated and true. Just one example is The Passing Of The Reins which depicts the struggle between a young boy and his traditional and intense family that "would callously fling guilt back and forth across the table as if it were a frisbee, crushing the self-esteem of even the proudest boy." Each story, unique in topic, rings true and evinces the maturity of its author. Also included in the collection: A Different Way of Living, Little Hands, It Happens To Them Sometimes and The Botero Woman.

Diversity Management in Places and Times of Tensions
Author: Helena Desivilya Syna
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030377237
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
This book focuses on managing diversity in regions and times of political tensions. Using Israel as an example, the author investigates diversity management in the socio-political context of a protracted national conflict – an area that remains largely unexplored. Featuring the voices of different protagonists, as well as case studies, the book draws on an intersection between social psychological perspectives and critical sociological theories. This integrative conceptual approach mirrors the professional development of the author, who throughout her career has sought to unravel the enigma of complex human interpersonal and intergroup relations using a multifocal and interdisciplinary lens. This book underlines the need for interdisciplinary work, flexible approaches in dealing with the complexities of human relations and social structures, and an interface between research and practice.

Education and Political Subjectivities in Neoliberal Times and Places
Author: Eva Reimers
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317333144
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
Education and Political Subjectivities in Neoliberal Times and Places investigates the conditions and possibilities for political subjectivities to emerge in international educational contexts, where neoliberal norms are repeated, performed and transformed. Through demonstrating the possibility of political subjectivities, this book argues that neoliberalism should neither be considered post-political, nor a natural law by which educational practices have to abide. This book considers how political subjectivities are made possible in education in spite of dominant neoliberal norms. Chapters address key theoretical discussions surrounding these different, sometimes contradicting, norms and their relationship to education, economy and politics. This innovative approach considers diverse educational and political initiatives in the wake of new public management, postcolonial perspectives on neoliberal education, and educational practices and critical possibilities. The book advocates understanding and enacting democracy as an experiment, based on the conception that democracy is constantly constructed and constitutes a transformative process in society in general as well as in education. This book advances the argument that there is still room for political subjectivity in spite of the dominance of neoliberal educational governance. It will appeal to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of higher education, education policy and politics, sociology of education and comparative and international education, as well as those interested in neoliberalism, new public management, and inequality.
