Book Description
I felt the strong urge to write this book simply because my trauma experienced in my life and observing what trauma has done to my parents have taken on life in my dreams, in acting out, in "life lessons" coming from a broken home, and have given me insight into my family's suffering. Discovering transmission of how trauma from my parents have meant coming to know and tell a narrative, a stubborn narrative that has set the scene to be played out in our lives, with the same script adapted by preceding generations, for future generations growing up in our communities. I am here to disrupt this narrative of the suffering of my people in order for us to use our struggle as a springboard to help realise our worth and value. In my book I speak what my parents could not. I recognize how their own experience has been authored, how one has been authorized, if unconsciously, to carry their parents' injury into the future. We have taken onboard the injuries of our parents and therefore adapting the same script for our lives. My book hopefully will help my people rise above the remnants of our ancestral trauma, and in the hope to help heal future generations.

Fear of Small Numbers
Author: Arjun Appadurai
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822387549
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
The period since 1989 has been marked by the global endorsement of open markets, the free flow of finance capital and liberal ideas of constitutional rule, and the active expansion of human rights. Why, then, in this era of intense globalization, has there been a proliferation of violence, of ethnic cleansing on the one hand and extreme forms of political violence against civilian populations on the other? Fear of Small Numbers is Arjun Appadurai’s answer to that question. A leading theorist of globalization, Appadurai turns his attention to the complex dynamics fueling large-scale, culturally motivated violence, from the genocides that racked Eastern Europe, Rwanda, and India in the early 1990s to the contemporary “war on terror.” Providing a conceptually innovative framework for understanding sources of global violence, he describes how the nation-state has grown ambivalent about minorities at the same time that minorities, because of global communication technologies and migration flows, increasingly see themselves as parts of powerful global majorities. By exacerbating the inequalities produced by globalization, the volatile, slippery relationship between majorities and minorities foments the desire to eradicate cultural difference. Appadurai analyzes the darker side of globalization: suicide bombings; anti-Americanism; the surplus of rage manifest in televised beheadings; the clash of global ideologies; and the difficulties that flexible, cellular organizations such as Al-Qaeda present to centralized, “vertebrate” structures such as national governments. Powerful, provocative, and timely, Fear of Small Numbers is a thoughtful invitation to rethink what violence is in an age of globalization.

Eden on the Charles
Author: Michael Rawson
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674266579
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
Drinking a glass of tap water, strolling in a park, hopping a train for the suburbs: some aspects of city life are so familiar that we don’t think twice about them. But such simple actions are structured by complex relationships with our natural world. The contours of these relationships—social, cultural, political, economic, and legal—were established during America’s first great period of urbanization in the nineteenth century, and Boston, one of the earliest cities in America, often led the nation in designing them. A richly textured cultural and social history of the development of nineteenth-century Boston, this book provides a new environmental perspective on the creation of America’s first cities. Eden on the Charles explores how Bostonians channeled country lakes through miles of pipeline to provide clean water; dredged the ocean to deepen the harbor; filled tidal flats and covered the peninsula with houses, shops, and factories; and created a metropolitan system of parks and greenways, facilitating the conversion of fields into suburbs. The book shows how, in Boston, different class and ethnic groups brought rival ideas of nature and competing visions of a “city upon a hill” to the process of urbanization—and were forced to conform their goals to the realities of Boston’s distinctive natural setting. The outcomes of their battles for control over the city’s development were ultimately recorded in the very fabric of Boston itself. In Boston’s history, we find the seeds of the environmental relationships that—for better or worse—have defined urban America to this day.
