Описание: Sometimes wisdom can come from the strangest place. You never know when your child is going to say something that will catch you off guard. At that point, you become the student.
Описание: "Untwines the aesthetic, sociohistorical, and spiritual ties that bind and unbind the first black republic to the African continent."--Gina Athena Ulysse, author of Why Haiti Needs New Narratives: A Post-Quake Chronicle "A nonlinear, creative, powerful reflection on history and the stories we tell about ourselves. What was disconnected is now remembered using the very tools and methodologies employed by Haitians themselves."--Patrick Bellegarde-Smith, author of Haiti: The Breached Citadel "Pressley-Sanon's important book demonstrates that Haitian Vodou is a serious enterprise with its own phenomenology and epistemologies, and that the religion's unique pragmatic dimensions offer initiatory answers to otherwise unanswerable questions about Haiti's past, present, and future. A must-read."--Claudine Michel, editor, Journal of Haitian Studies "Reveals an impressively rich cultural landscape inhabited by women and men whose legendary resilience in the face of adversity clothes a ferocious dedication to their identity as free people."--LeGrace Benson, author of Arts and Religions of Haiti: How the Sun Illuminates Under Cover of Darkness
Gathering oral stories and visual art from Haiti and two of its "motherlands" in Africa, Istwa across the Water recovers the submerged histories of the island through methods drawn from its deep spiritual and cultural traditions.
Toni Pressley-Sanon employs three theoretical anchors to bring together parts of the African diaspora that are profoundly fractured because of the slave trade. The first is the Vodou concept of marasa, or twinned entities, which she uses to identify parts of Dahomey (the present-day Benin Republic) and the Kongo region as Haiti's twinned sites of cultural production. Second, she draws on poet Kamau Brathwaite's idea of tidalectics--the back-and-forth movement of ocean waves--as a way to look at the cultural exchange set in motion by the transatlantic movement of captives. Finally, Pressley-Sanon searches out the places where history and memory intersect in story, expressed by the Kreyol term istwa.
Challenging the tendency to read history linearly, this volume offers a bold new approach for understanding Haitian histories and imagining Haitian futures.

What happens if you're still not satisfied with the image you see in the mirror?
What happens if your body isn't shaped like the ones mainstream society embraces?
What happens when...
...striving to achieve the ultimate body...
...age...
...babies...
...and just life takes its toll on your body?
I hate to say it but Michael Jackson was on point. It really did start with the wo]man in the mirror.
It gets to the point where you come face to face with yourself to make a choice between all the conflicting opinions and feelings in your head about your body.
That process can be a struggle for many.
The journey towards perfection ends up being about honoring what you see in the mirror because it is your own...intentionally selected by God for you
Perfection is being aware of how truly good your body has been. It is looking into the mirror and sometimes totally disliking what you see YET celebrating the perfectly imperfect body that is.
My hope for every reader is that you will come to learn, embrace and celebrate your body in all of its awesomeness through the skills taught throughout this journal.
My hope is you will learn to speak kind words to your body because it truly does hear you.

Yasemin, a young Muslim Turkish girl, falls in love with a handsome American named Frank in Ankara, Turkey. After they marry and have two children, Yasemin joins her husband working at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. She can sense that her lifelong dreams are finally within reach. But external forces were set in motion to derail her plans - terrorists bombed the American Embassy in Nairobi on August 7th, 1998, while she and her husband are inside. Frank is critically injured and flown to Germany for hospitalization. Yasemin follows with her family, physically unharmed but severely suffering from the effects of PTSD. It is then that she is confirmed pregnant with their third child, with Frank on death's doorsteps. What follows is a tale of grief and struggle, but also of tremendous joy. From her diagnosis and struggle with PTSD treatments to Frank's physical therapy and abandonment by the State Department, Yasemin's story winds between betrayal and renewal as she searches for meaning in her new circumstances, and ultimately turns to God.

Описание:
What do you do for a second act after defying your entire family and community to take up arms against your brothers?
It is 1865. Abraham Lincoln is dead. The Civil War has officially ended. President Johnson is in trouble with Congress. Efforts to reunite the union and repair the damages of war have begun but plans for continuation are tenuous at best.
Will Presley, a decorated Union Army veteran who left his North Carolina family and friends to join the opposing side, seeks to absolve his quilt by becoming part of the Reconstruction Team. His idealistic vision of rebuilding what was destroyed as well as creating opportunities for the former enslaved population is immediately met with opposition.
Starting in Memphis, Tennessee, Will and his new bride, Lenora, are excited to be on the cutting edge of a massive project. They pour all their energy into making the dream of homes and schools for newly freed slaves and their children a reality.
The team struggles as they witness many attempts to obstruct and destroy their work, beginning with verbal threats and escalating into violent acts of arson and rioting. Though despondent and fearful at times, they refuse to give up on the goal. They remain committed to the basic tenants of their Christian faith and the beautiful unifying words of our founding documents; they seek other strategies to overcome resistance.
In this sequel to Blood Brothers - A Family Divided, the authors travel the next leg of the Presley family journey against the backdrop of the Reconstruction Era. What will happen if Will enters the political arena? What will change for Sally and the rest of the family back home in North Carolina?
