Book Description
Ageism is prevalent in a great deal of current scholarship in the social sciences as scholars fault youth for being delinquent or politically apathetic. Researchers ignore young people’s actual voices, despite their leadership in recent global uprisings, some of which unseated entrenched dictators. Neoliberalism must be exposed in its focus on youth sub-cultures and styles rather than economic barriers caused by growing inequality and rising youth unemployment rates. Ageism in Youth Studies also discusses the debate about “Generation We or Me” and if Millennials are narcissistic. Resources about global youth studies are included, along with the results of the author’s surveys and interviews with over 4,000 young people from 88 countries.

She Memes Well
Author: Quinta Brunson
Publisher: Mariner Books
ISBN: 1328638987
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
From comedian Quinta Brunson comes a deeply personal and funny collection of essays featuring anecdotes about trying to make it when you're broke, overcoming self-doubt and depression, and how she's used humor to navigate her career in unusual directions. Quinta Brunson is a master of viral Internet content: without any traditional background in media, her humorous videos were the first to break through on Instagram's platform, receiving millions of views. From there, Brunson's wryly observant POV attracted the attention of BuzzFeed's motion picture development department, leading her to produce viral videos there about topics like interracial dating, millennial malaise, and seeing your ex in public. Now, Brunson is bringing her comedic chops to the page in She Memes Well, an earnest, laugh-out-loud collection about her weird road to Internet notoriety. In her debut essay collection, Quinta applies her trademark humor and heart to discuss what it was like to go from student loan debt-broke to "halfway recognizable--'don't I know you somewhere?'" level-of-fame. With anecdotes that range from the funny and zany--like her experience trying to find her signature hairstyle--to more grounded material about living with depression, Brunson's voice is entirely authentic and eminently readable. Perfect for fans of Phoebe Robinson's You Can't Touch My Hair, Samantha Irby's We Are Never Meeting in Real Life, and Issa Rae's The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, She Memes Well will charm and entertain a growing, engaged audience.

2020 Poemas de la realidad a la conspiración a la ciencia-ficción: Información vs Desinformación
Author: Ricardo A. Domínguez
Publisher: Ibukku LLC
ISBN: 1640868054
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
El año 2020 ha sido un año de terribles privaciones y sufrimientos a niveles Bíblicos; año en que nos invade un nuevo virus, creando una pandemia mundial; hiriéndonos a todos, por igual, sepultándonos eternamente en las profundas aguas del olvido. Todos estos meses del 2020 nos han agobiado la vida a un nivel casi apocalíptico; el encerramiento obligatorio, el uso de mascarillas, los toques de queda; todo esto nos indica que este caos no se trata de noticias fraudulentas.Estamos viviendo en un estado de alarma eterno; vivimos en una nueva normalidad a la que la sociedad no está acostumbrada. Decimos adiós a nuestros seres queridos: padres y madres; hermanos y hermanas; hijos e hijas; tíos y tías; abuelos y abuelas; estudiantes y amigos.El libro "2020" está basado en las experiencias vividas de personas –sus memorias, sus quejas, sus anécdotas y sus publicaciones electrónicas– que han sido bombardeadas constantemente por “fake news" y teorías de conspiraciones.El propósito del libro es la de expresar ideas, controversias, discusiones, conceptos y actitudes que nos lleven a reflexionar sobre lo que somos, a dónde vamos y cuál es el propósito de nuestra existencia. El libro está dividido en seis categorías que son: Pandemia, Conspiración, Ciencia-Ficción, Política, Esperanza, y Otros. En el texto encontraremos temas como: la vida, la muerte, el amor, la esperanza, el fatalismo, la política, la ciencia, la religión, el transhumanismo, la mentira, la historia, el racismo, la ciencia-ficción, la sociedad, y la supervivencia, entre otros. Aunque parezca ser una obra de cruda imaginación, se pretende presentar hechos históricos que han cambiado el curso de la historia humana, y que nos hagan reflexionar sobre el propósito de nuestras vidas en éste, nuestro único, planeta Tierra.

Finding Latinx
Author: Paola Ramos
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1984899104
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Latinos across the United States are redefining identities, pushing boundaries, and awakening politically in powerful and surprising ways. Many—Afrolatino, indigenous, Muslim, queer and undocumented, living in large cities and small towns—are voices who have been chronically overlooked in how the diverse population of almost sixty million Latinos in the U.S. has been represented. No longer. In this empowering cross-country travelogue, journalist and activist Paola Ramos embarks on a journey to find the communities of people defining the controversial term, “Latinx.” She introduces us to the indigenous Oaxacans who rebuilt the main street in a post-industrial town in upstate New York, the “Las Poderosas” who fight for reproductive rights in Texas, the musicians in Milwaukee whose beats reassure others of their belonging, as well as drag queens, environmental activists, farmworkers, and the migrants detained at our border. Drawing on intensive field research as well as her own personal story, Ramos chronicles how “Latinx” has given rise to a sense of collectivity and solidarity among Latinos unseen in this country for decades. A vital and inspiring work of reportage, Finding Latinx calls on all of us to expand our understanding of what it means to be Latino and what it means to be American. The first step towards change, writes Ramos, is for us to recognize who we are.

Is lesbian Identity Obsolete?
Author: Ella Ben Hagai
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000883299
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This cross-disciplinary book engages with the provocation, "Is lesbian identity obsolete?". In this volume, researchers offer diverse perspectives on the question of lesbian identity past, present, and future. This eclectic, multidisciplinary compilation composed of chapters and shorter commentaries helps readers understand the roots of conflict and current tensions between the queer and the trans movements and the lesbian community. Using a historical lens, authors examine the 1970s lesbian communities' practices of racial and trans inclusion and exclusion. Several contributions from across the social sciences utilize qualitative and quantitative methods to illuminate the shifting meaning of lesbian identity today. These contributions help explain why some cis and trans women and nonbinary folx come to either be attached to or disavow lesbian identification. An additional set of chapters engage in theoretical analysis to explore the fraught relationship between queer theory and lesbian thought and the importance of lesbian theory in the formation of transgender scholarship. This collection's eclectic engagement with the question of lesbian identity's obsoleteness helps draw an ethical blueprint for a more sustainable, inclusive, and coalitional future for lesbian communities and identities. This book will be of great value to students, researchers and scholars in the fields of Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology including Gay and Lesbian studies as well as the intersectionality of gender and sexuality. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of Lesbian Studies.
