Описание: An inspiring and radical celebration of 70 women, girls, and gender nonbinary people who have changed--and are still changing--the world, from the Civil Rights Movement and Stonewall riots through Black Lives Matter and beyond. With a radical and inclusive approach to history, Modern HERstory profiles and celebrates seventy women and nonbinary champions of progressive social change in a bold, colorful, illustrated format for all ages. Despite making huge contributions to the liberation movements of the last century and today, all of these trailblazers come from backgrounds and communities that are traditionally overlooked and under-celebrated: not just women, but people of color, queer people, trans people, disabled people, young people, and people of faith. Authored by rising star activist Blair Imani, Modern HERstory tells the important stories of the leaders and movements that are changing the world right here and right now--and will inspire you to do the same.

Описание:
Even as feminism has become increasingly central to our ideas about institutions, relationships, and everyday life, the term used to diagnose the problem—“patriarchy”—is used so loosely that it has lost its meaning. In Vexy Thing Imani Perry resurrects patriarchy as a target of critique, recentering it to contemporary discussions of feminism through a social and literary analysis of cultural artifacts from the Enlightenment to the present. Drawing on a rich array of sources—from nineteenth-century slavery court cases and historical vignettes to writings by Toni Morrison and Audre Lorde and art by Kara Walker and Wangechi Mutu—Perry shows how the figure of the patriarch emerged as part and parcel of modernity, the nation-state, the Industrial Revolution, and globalization. She also outlines how digital media and technology, neoliberalism, and the security state continue to prop up patriarchy. By exploring the past and present of patriarchy in the world we have inherited and are building for the future, Perry exposes its mechanisms of domination as a necessary precursor to dismantling it.
The true story of Blood, Bullets and Bodies: a critical multimedia expos about the factors subverting the political will to act in the best interest of the poor, even when explicit just cause exists for such altruistic action to take place... Blood, Bullets and Bodies is a strange and paradoxical story that needs to be read as much as it needs to be told. It is a riveting story of sex, violence, political intrigue and survival by any means necessary. The book is a literary mirror that provides a revealing and frightening reflection for a self-destructing society to see itself profiled in the throes of its own possible demise. Sure to stir controversy, the new book contains a compelling rendition of the historical circumstances that have made crime and violence - bullets, blood and dead bodies - the number one problem in late 20th and early 21st century Jamaica. Despite the historic One Love Peace Concert and the Peace Truce in 1978, young gunmen seem to have gone wild ever since.
Using a variety of sophisticated methodological tools including literary sources, oral interviews, ethnographic studies and the lyrics of popular Reggae songs, Imani Tafari-Ama details the influences and implications of this violent social discourse for everyday performances of femininity and masculinity in Kingston's inner-city environment as well as in the wider Jamaican society.
Tafari-Ama's stated objective in publishing her thesis as a book is to separate fact from fiction in order to find real and enduring solutions that will reduce the distressing flood of blood, bullets and bodies that is overflowing the streets of Kingston. She hopes that by highlighting some of the facts and exposing much of the fiction about life below the poverty line, her provocative book will be a catalyst in motivating the political and community willpower necessary to find and implement the real-time solutions that she proposes in her suggested Options for Development.

Описание:
When readers first met Naomi in When I Was Broken, she was an expectant mother with a loving husband. It was her best friend, Angela, who had problems-but now the scales have tipped. Naomi's husband, Micah, dies in a tragic accident, leaving her lost, bitter, and alone.
Naomi doesn't put much stock in Christianity anymore, but when Micah makes a supernatural reappearance in her life, she's forced to rethink her faith. Suddenly, unfathomable decisions loom before her and, according to Micah, she has only three days to figure it all out.
Micah's reappearance seems like a chance to heal unresolved questions about life and God, but the salve itself requires a choice between this life and the next.
Is Naomi ready to turn her back on everything her life could be? Or can she accept the pain of moving on in the hope of something better to come? As she seeks answers from a God she thought had abandoned her, readers are propelled on a journey to the edges of heaven and back.
A spiritual reflection on the personal growth that comes from tragedy, Imani's third novel will resonate with fans of The Five People You Meet in Heaven and The Shack.
Описание: This book is the third in the Healthy Haiku Productions (HHP) Series of books (http: //www.healthyhaikuproductions.com) and the first to be introduced as an ebook for easy downloading and access. It is designed to do several things. First, it serves as a health awareness discussion platform for teachers and mentors. The term "mentor" is used to encompass all adults who work with youth and are responsible for youth development including all educators and parents who work with youth. It may be particularly helpful to those needing alternative strategies to educate and motivate the under-served and at-risk youth. Second, this book serves as a guide for: 1) helping children, teens and their mentors explore important nutritional health issues; 2) introducing children and teens to the world of the English Language Arts and Haiku poetry, 3) assisting teens in using their creative talents to describe feelings and experiences related to diet and nutritional health issues -- using a self-reflective process; and 4) creating a Power Source Prompt (PSP) for youth to draw upon when faced with real-life challenges regarding their diets and habits related to nutritional health.Mentors play an important role in communicating concepts, ideas, and values to youth. Because an effective mentor can have a life-changing impact on a young person, he or she can positively change the course of a young person's life. Overall, this workbook provides handy tools and references for mentors to create dialogue with youth about diet and nutritional health issues and about "Stepping into their Power" in terms of their health to become all that they can be in this lifetime.
