Описание:
In Jezebel Unhinged Tamura Lomax traces the use of the jezebel trope in the black church and in black popular culture, showing how it is pivotal to reinforcing men's cultural and institutional power to discipline and define black girlhood and womanhood. Drawing on writing by medieval thinkers and travelers, Enlightenment theories of race, the commodification of women's bodies under slavery, and the work of Tyler Perry and Bishop T. D. Jakes, Lomax shows how black women are written into religious and cultural history as sites of sexual deviation. She identifies a contemporary black church culture where figures such as Jakes use the jezebel stereotype to suggest a divine approval of the “lady” while condemning girls and women seen as "hos." The stereotype preserves gender hierarchy, black patriarchy, and heteronormativity in black communities, cultures, and institutions. In response, black women and girls resist, appropriate, and play with the stereotype's meanings. Healing the black church, Lomax contends, will require ceaseless refusal of the idea that sin resides in black women's bodies, thus disentangling black women and girls from the jezebel narrative's oppressive yoke.

Описание:
Compassionate and hopeful, Blind Awakening is a remarkable story about the passage between life and death and how that transition affects both patient and caregiver.
As a critical care social worker, Tamura Arthun routinely provided palliative care to dying patients in situations that might depress the average person. When her brother Jeff was afflicted with terminal cancer and blindness, however, her compassion was tested to its limit. Because her parents were unable to care for Jeff's medical needs, she became his primary caregiver for the last few years of his life. Prior to his illness, Tamura freely admits that Jeff's attitude toward life was mostly negative. Strangely enough, the experience of dying made him realize how fortunate he had been and transformed his approach to life in general. His gratitude for all the blessings in his life made the process of dying much easier for him-not to mention Tamura and his loving family.
Underlying this strange and miraculous process was a strong belief in God and a reliance on faith that made Jeff's turnaround possible. Blind Awakening is a testament to that faith and a demonstration of what is truly possible when human beings trust wholly in God.
