Book Description
This story is about two minorities struggling for liberation from human bondage. Sex Worker, better known as Prostitute, is often described as the world's oldest profession, or among the oldest. Sadly for herself if not for all others, she has been persecuted from pre-history ever since. She may have been tolerated as an exception, but never widely accepted. Does society owe her the obligation of rescue from fallen slavery, or should she be deterred from practising her trade by stiff punishment, in order to maintain the hygiene of the social fabric? What does she think, and does it matter what she thinks? The story begins with a girl forced into prostitution by destitution, until she fights back together with her fellow sister mates against inherent frustration, cruelty, and prejudice. Her argument is that she has an inalienable human right to dispose her body and sex, in private, in whichever way she desires, especially when such disposal is essential to earn a living. The imposition of public morality as her personal responsibility is what she cannot accept and endure. But it is more than that, since she is also in the other minority. She is a Pig, an itinerant animal dominated no shorter and no less by human civilization than what has been suffered by Prostitute.It is a moot point whether Prostitute or Animal has suffered more, or considered more despicable. Presumably Animal could have it easier since they are supposed to be of the lower order, with no intelligence whatsoever, until the relatively recent advent of animal right. Perhaps Animal should be grateful to human civilization for survival and multiplication too, whereas Prostitute can always be found in human survival. The story brings up the coincidence of Prostitute Struggle and Pig Struggle, initially each on its own, until reaching the stage when each finds the need to join force and cause, though a common front is anything but a smooth ride. The first public confrontation against the establishment, as can be expected, proves to serve not much more than a learning curve. However, the seed once buried and unburied would be allowed time and space to take root. Nourished non-stop by where they come from, the denizens of the joint struggle will not waver or lose hope for an eventual outcome. The author does not pretend to be entirely on their side morally. Take the story as a science fiction if you like. Whether it will come to pass is a matter of opinion.

New Slavery
Author: Kevin Bales
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 185109816X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
A shocking account of how slavery continues to afflict millions around the world today—from children in the carpet trade in Asia, to immigrants forced into prostitution in Europe, to domestic workers in the United States and other Western countries. New Slavery: A Reference Handbook is as scholarly as it is shocking—a gripping account of modern slavery, from Pakistan to Paris, Nepal to New York. From bonded laborers in India and prostitutes in Thailand to illegal domestic workers in Kuwait, Tokyo, and London, this book surveys the grim and violent world of contemporary forced labor, human trafficking, and slavery. More commonly associated with the horrors of 19th-century cotton plantations or Nazi concentration camps, slave labor remains alive and well. Despite antislavery laws in almost every country, slavery today is booming— fueled by poverty, war, organized crime, and globalization. This book is both a serious study and an essential guide for policy makers, human rights lawyers, labor activists, and all those concerned with the ongoing fight against this timeless evil.

Oppressive Liberation
Author: Lisa Kemmerer
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031153634
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
While explicitly set against a backdrop of sexism in social justice activism more generally, this book exposes causes, pervasiveness, harms, and possible directions for change with regard to sexism and male privilege in the animal activist movement. Employing the work of previous scholars, Dr. Lisa Kemmerer exposes the commonplace nature and causes of sexism and male privilege in social justice activism, then focuses on anymal activists, including new data that has not previously been published. The book also explores the crushing harms caused by sexism in the movement and an extensive array of possible directions for change. In various places throughout the text, Kemmerer refocuses on the interface of sexism and speciesism, and one full chapter explores a philosophies of interconnection from around the world and down through time. Also included are six essays from contributing authors who offer fresh angles on the topic, and who provide contextualized experiences with intersectional oppressions. While the book focuses specifically on animal activism, the end-goal of the book is total liberation—an end to all forms of privilege and marginalization.

Shakespeare for Freedom
Author: Ewan Fernie
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108298729
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
Shakespeare for Freedom presents a powerful, plausible and political argument for Shakespeare's meaning and value. It ranges across the breadth of the Shakespeare phenomenon, offering a new interpretation not just of the characters and plays, but also of the part they have played in theatre, criticism, civic culture and politics. Its story includes a glimpse of 'Freetown' in Romeo and Juliet, which comes to life in the 1769 Stratford Jubilee; the Shakespearean careers of the Leicester Chartist, Cooper, and the Hungarian hero, Kossuth; Hegel's recognition of Shakespearean freedom as the modern breakthrough; its fatal effects in America; the disgust it inspired in Tolstoy; its rehabilitation by Ted Hughes, and its obscure centrality in the 2012 Olympics. Ultimately, it issues a positive Shakespearean prognosis for freedom as a vital (in both senses), unending struggle. Shakespeare for Freedom shows why Shakespeare has mattered for four hundred years, and why he still matters today.

Freedom Farmers
Author: Monica M. White
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469643707
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
In May 1967, internationally renowned activist Fannie Lou Hamer purchased forty acres of land in the Mississippi Delta, launching the Freedom Farms Cooperative (FFC). A community-based rural and economic development project, FFC would grow to over 600 acres, offering a means for local sharecroppers, tenant farmers, and domestic workers to pursue community wellness, self-reliance, and political resistance. Life on the cooperative farm presented an alternative to the second wave of northern migration by African Americans--an opportunity to stay in the South, live off the land, and create a healthy community based upon building an alternative food system as a cooperative and collective effort. Freedom Farmers expands the historical narrative of the black freedom struggle to embrace the work, roles, and contributions of southern Black farmers and the organizations they formed. Whereas existing scholarship generally views agriculture as a site of oppression and exploitation of black people, this book reveals agriculture as a site of resistance and provides a historical foundation that adds meaning and context to current conversations around the resurgence of food justice/sovereignty movements in urban spaces like Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, New York City, and New Orleans.
