Описание:
In her life, author Patti D. Pickens felt she was being a good Christian, believing in God and following the "rules" of Christianity. However, she couldn't explain why she was given a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, or how drastically her life would change, as she recalls in her autobiography, "MS" MyStery Solved. Born and raised in Georgia, this self-described tomboy lived out life's opportunities: becoming a police dispatcher, EMT and marrying young to a man she loved. She had a few bumps along the way, such as learning to walk again after an accident, but Patti believed God had her back. Then her MS diagnosis in 2002 occurred, resulting in a new life of doctor appointments, hospital visits and her subsequent divorce from her husband. Her story, though, is one of faith and healing: finding hope in health, finding love again and never giving up on God to heal her.

In Black Madness :: Mad Blackness Therí Alyce Pickens rethinks the relationship between Blackness and disability, unsettling the common theorization that they are mutually constitutive. Pickens shows how Black speculative and science fiction authors such as Octavia Butler, Nalo Hopkinson, and Tananarive Due craft new worlds that reimagine the intersection of Blackness and madness. These creative writer-theorists formulate new parameters for thinking through Blackness and madness. Pickens considers Butler's Fledgling as an archive of Black madness that demonstrates how race and ability shape subjectivity while constructing the building blocks for antiracist and anti-ableist futures. She examines how Hopkinson's Midnight Robber theorizes mad Blackness and how Due's African Immortals series contests dominant definitions of the human. The theorizations of race and disability that emerge from these works, Pickens demonstrates, challenge the paradigms of subjectivity that white supremacy and ableism enforce, thereby pointing to the potential for new forms of radical politics.
A thrilling account of a hundred years of sensational and sinister deeds that marked and shaped one southern town.
Crimes that captivated attention in the Charlotte area over the years run the gamut from missing people to the wrongly accused. This collection of headline stories features violent motorcycle gangs, crusading mothers, a fraudster who claimed a president was poisoned by his wife, a serial killer who broke all the rules and even a man who made Bigfoot. With a mystery novelist's ear for a good tale, Cathy Pickens presents more than a century of sensational sinister deeds that marked this diverse and dynamic city.
