Описание: This book focuses on a reading of Frantz Fanon's work and life, asking how the work of a revolutionary writer such as Fanon might be best appropriated for contemporary political and cultural issues. Separate chapters introduce Fanon's life and examine the question of Fanon as our contemporary; review the field of "Fanon studies" that has grown up around his work; bring Fanon into conversation with the critical contemporary figures Edward Said, Michel Foucault, Jamaica Kincaid, and Paul Gilroy; and turn to Fanon's work to think through the contemporary popular uprisings that have come to be known as the "Arab Spring." The book concludes by arguing that a re-evaluation of Fanon's life and work can provide us with a particular set of lessons about solidarity, lessons that are crucial for the contemporary political struggles that face us today and that will continue to confront us in the future. Finding Something Different: Frantz Fanon and the Future of Cultural Politics is inspired by Fanon's unsparing struggle against the depredations of racism and colonialism, and his lifelong commitment to finding something different.

Описание:
What do millennial rappers in the United States say in their music? This timely and compelling book answers this question by decoding the lyrics of over 700 songs from contemporary rap artists. Using innovative research techniques, Matthew Oware reveals how emcees perpetuate and challenge gendered and racialized constructions of masculinity, femininity, and sexuality. Male and female artists litter their rhymes with misogynistic and violent imagery. However, men also express a full range of emotions, from arrogance to vulnerability, conveying a more complex manhood than previously acknowledged. Women emphatically state their desires while embracing a more feminist approach. Even LGBTQ artists stake their claim and express their sexuality without fear. Finally, in the age of Black Lives Matter and the presidency of Donald J. Trump, emcees forcefully politicize their music. Although complicated and contradictory in many ways, rap remains a powerful medium for social commentary.
Описание: The secret is out Many women - even successful professionals - have trouble saying what they need to say, for lack of confidence or skill or for fear of offending. Even the phenomenally successful Oprah Winfrey said that her biggest flaw is her] inability to confront people. Most of these women would love to start speaking up more often - if only they had some guidance on how to do it. This powerful, practical guide offers proven techniques that enable women to experience the exhilaration and empowerment of expressing themselves in any situation - with coworkers and bosses, with friends and relatives, with doctors, lawyers, contractors, and other service providers. Anywhere, anytime. Who is Susan? She's every woman who has ever kicked herself for what she should have said. Maybe she just couldn't summon up the courage or think of the right response. Many girls who were brought up to be passive and uncomplaining never learned the skills involved in speaking up. And assertiveness really does involve skills: knowing how to be tactful but forceful, how to escalate your response when necessary, how not to undermine what you say by using submissive body language or unassertive speech patterns. Did You Say Something, Susan? will teach you how to: * Say no without guilt * Speak up for your rights * Project confidence and high self-esteem * Get want you want on your own terms * Gracefully stop put-down artists in their tracks * Assertively accept and give praise * Gain the respect and admiration of others * Never leave anything important unsaid * Help your children become confident, assertive communicators Through example and encouragement, self assessments and exercises, role-playing, positive imagery techniques, and mental rehearsal, Did You Say Something, Susan? offers a variety of specific hands-on strategies. A self-assessment in the introduction helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses and directs you to the most appropriate chapters. The book is rich with examples and anecdotes demonstrating how a variety of women have overcome their passive communication styles to achieve a level of effectiveness and self-confidence that they never thought possible. It serves as coach and counselor, and gives advice that will help you make immediate and long-term changes in your life.

Описание: The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you found out why.
Mark Twain
God has led us to a particular place, with a particular talent, to show God's character to a particular people. But there are forces actively seeking to keep us from experiencing our intended design and calling. God is in the business of taking the things we think disqualify us--whether it's a broken relationship, the wound of fatherlessness, a humiliating failure, or out-of-control emotions--and turning it into a fulfilling life purpose and a new identity, as God's sons.
In the first CORE for Men study, Redeemed, we learn about:
Calling: God has a specific calling and purpose for us, and he gives us gifts to fulfill that calling.
Pain: God redeems losses, even when those losses are life-altering and life-defining.
Identity: Our heavenly Father transforms the rejection and wounds of our earthly father, giving us a new identity.
Forgiveness: It's never too late to pursue reconciliation, whether you have been the one hurt or the one who created the hurt.
Purpose: Personal loss, tragedy, and failure do not disqualify us from being a vibrant participant in God's purpose.
Sessions include:
Called (Mariano Rivera, pitcher, New York Yankees) (10:00)
Redemption (Kyle Oxford, tattoo artist) (9:00)
Sons (Tommy Green, lead singer, Sleeping Giant) (12:00)
Restoration (Robert Irving III, music director for Miles Davis) (12:00)
Brought to you by the men behind Promise Keepers, the passion behind the CORE for Men studies is to create spaces where men have permission to be real. Spaces where men discover they are not alone with the kind of doubts and fears they face. Spaces where they have like-minded brothers who are there with them.
The two CORE for Men studies--Redeemed and Transformed--feature five real-life stories of men who have faced their two biggest battles: Isolation and Disqualification.
Isolation: "If you knew how messed up some of my life is, you wouldn't want to have anything to do with me."
Disqualification: "If you knew how messed up some of my life is, you wouldn't want me to have anything to do with you."
There has never been a more critical need to equip men with the tools to win the battles over their hearts and futures. CORE for Men invites men to step out of shame and isolation and encourages them to step into their God-given purpose.
This pack contains:
CORE for Men: Redeemed Study Guide
CORE for Men: Redeemed Video Study DVD (streaming video access included)

Описание: What is the "something in these hills" that ties mountain families to family land in the southern Appalachians? This ethnographic examination challenges contemporary theory and explores two interrelated themes: the duality of the southern Appalachians as both a menacing and majestic landscape and the emotional relationship to family land characteristic of long-term residents of these mountains. To most outsiders, the area conjures images of a beautiful yet dangerous place, typified by the movie Deliverance. To long-term residents, these mountains have a fundamental emotional hold so powerful that many mourn the sale or loss of family land as if it were a deceased relative. How can the same geographical space be both? Using a carefully crafted cultural lens, John M. Coggeshall explains how family land anthropomorphizes, metaphorically becoming another member of kin groups. He establishes that this emotional sense of place existed prior to recent land losses, as some contemporary scholars argue. Utilizing the voices and perspectives of long-term residents, the book provides readers with a more fundamental understanding of the "something in these hills" that holds people in place.
