Book Description
“Self-loathing is a dark land studded with booby traps. Fumbling through its dark underbrush, we cannot see what our trouble actually is: that we are mistaken about ourselves. That we were told lies long ago that we, in love and loyalty and fear, believed. Will we believe ourselves to death?” —from Unworthy As someone who has struggled with low self-esteem her entire life, Anneli Rufus knows only too well how the world looks through the eyes of those who are not comfortable in their own skin. In Unworthy, Rufus boldly explores how a lack of faith in ourselves can turn us into our own worst enemies. Drawing on extensive research, enlightening interviews, and her own poignant experiences, Rufus considers the question: What personal, societal, biological, and historical factors coalesced to spark this secret epidemic, and what can be done to put a stop to it? She reveals the underlying sources of low self-esteem and leads us through strategies for positive change.

Winner of the 2021 Bancroft Prize and the 2021 Ridenhour Book Prize Finalist for the 2020 National Book Award for Nonfiction Named a Top Ten Best Book of 2020 by the Washington Post and Publishers Weekly and a New York Times Critics' Top Book of 2020 A masterful and unsettling history of “Indian Removal,” the forced migration of Native Americans across the Mississippi River in the 1830s and the state-sponsored theft of their lands.

In a firestorm of fraud and violence, thousands of Native Americans lost their lives, and thousands more lost their farms and possessions.

Worthy and Unworthy
Author: Devan Hawkins
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 180341605X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
What geopolitical events are worthy of media attention? In an ideal world, the answer to this question would be based on the merit of the event. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Media attention throughout the Western world too often reflects and reinforces Western government's geopolitical orientations. Building on Edward Herman, Noam Chomsky, and other scholars who have examined biased media coverage, Worthy and Unworthy presents case studies depicting how media coverage of events in foreign countries differs depending on whether a country is a geopolitical enemy or an ally of the United States. The book presents case studies comparing coverage in the New York Times of comparable geopolitical events that have occurred in geopolitical allies of the United States and non-allied countries. As the systematic analysis of both the amount of coverage these events received and the nature of the coverage shows, the Times' coverage creates worthy and unworthy events with hyperfocus being given to geopolitical events in non-allied countries and less focus given to the events in friendly countries. While the book focuses on the New York Times, an analysis of coverage from other media outlets shows that the Times is not alone in this tendency. Our view of geopolitical events is shaped by the media we consume. If you're concerned about the Western media's coverage of geopolitical events and whether it encourages some of the worst and most harmful aspects of US foreign policy, understanding the biases in media coverage is essential. With an increased understanding of these biases, we can help reduce them.

Book Description
Jade knows what it feels like to have no one in her corner; she experienced it firsthand when her aunt sweet-talked her parents and took her to the Philippines' when she was 8 years old. The life and education Aunt Diwa promised Jade's parents weren't what she was given. After years of abuse and being used, the only thing Jade wished for was an escape to go home and be with her family finally. All Jade wished for was to experience what it feels like to be loved once again, and she got that when she finally escaped her aunt and made her way back home to her pack and family in Detroit. Finding out that the Alpha Heir Hunter was her mate was the best thing to ever happen to Jade, and Hunter gave Jade a home love and became the safety and comfort Jade had always wished for. Two years of blissful union ended abruptly when Jade woke up in bed with her sister's boyfriend after a party. Her life goes from sweet to bitter in a matter of days as everyone Jade once loved turned their backs on her, refusing to believe them when she said she didn’t cheat on her mate. How could she? Hunter was the love of her life, yet even Hunter wouldn’t give her the benefit of the doubt. Jade goes from preparing to becoming the Luna of the Blackwood Pack to being treated no less than a traitor. Hunter doesn't wait for a heartbeat before rejecting her, and Jade is soon branded as a defective mate and banished to the woods as a rogue. How will Jade survive life as a pregnant rogue? Did Jade cheat on her mate, or was she framed? The cursed brand on her neck makes it impossible for any pack to take her in; not even the fact that she’s pregnant is enough to convince any pack to help or take her in. Will her mate, Hunter, come after her? Or will Jade have to keep running until there is nowhere else to run? Or will Jade find her strength somewhere else and come back to enact her revenge on the people who hurt her?
