Описание: Sono el telefono y supo que la iban a matar. Lo supo con tanta certeza que se quedo inmovil, la cuchilla en alto, el cabello pegado a la cara entre el vapor del agua caliente que goteaba en los azulejos.
Bip-bip. Se quedo muy quieta, conteniendo el aliento como si la inmovilidad o el silencio pudieran cambiar el curso de lo que ya habia ocurrido.
Bip-bip. Estaba en la banera, depilandose la pierna derecha, el agua jabonosa por la cintura, y su piel desnuda se erizo igual que si acabara de reventar el grifo del agua fria.
Bip-bip. En el estereo del dormitorio, los Tigres del Norte cantaban historias de Camelia la Tejana. La traicion y el contrabando, decian, son cosas compartidas.
La critica ha dicho...

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The phone rang and she knew they were going to kill her.
The certainty of it kept her motionless, blade high in the air, hair stuck to her face, a cloud of steam and drops of water cursing down the tiles.
Blip, blip. Frozen, she held her breath as if the stillness, or the silence, could somehow change the course of the past.
Blip, blip. She was sitting in the bathtub, in the middle of shaving her right leg, soapy water rising to her waist, her flesh full of goose-bumps the warm water did nothing to ease.
Blip, blip. In her bedroom, the stereo blasted Los Tigres del Norte singing Camelia la Tejana -betrayal and contraband, they said, are like oil and vinegar. So begins a journey that will transform this innocent barrio beauty into a woman who is tough and powerful enough to write her own rules.
Your body was created by God, and it is a wonderful gift from Him. He wants you and others to treat it with respect. In Overcoming Abuse: My Body Belongs to God and Me, author Reina Davison helps children understand the difference between good touch and no touch and how to identify a no touch person.
Through words and illustrations, she teaches examples of proper and improper affection and body safety for protection at home, in the community, and on the internet. Davison empowers children to say "no" when a person approaches with improper affection and liberates them to tell a trusted adult when they feel scared and unsafe.
Overcoming Abuse: My Body Belongs to God and Me provides straightforward guidelines that help children understand consent, bodily autonomy, and the importance of telling an adult about encounters that make them uncomfortable. It helps children feel valued and empowered to care for their own hearts and bodies.
Overcoming Abuse: Child Sexual Abuse Prevention and Protection is an encyclopedic manual for parents, caregivers or helpers to educate their self and train children on body safety. This is an indispensable resource for anyone who is interested in becoming aware and informed about child sexual abuse (CSA). It is an informative reservoir on the dynamics of child sexual abuse, the sex offender profile, and a guide on how to protect and prevent a child from being a target of CSA anywhere, including the internet. Instructs the adult: on initiating conversation to help the child gain an understanding about the precious gift of his body. Introduces and walks the adult through a healthy age-appropriate biblical perspective on human sexuality. The process of overcoming CSA for the parent/caregiver and child is spelled out (whether the parent/child have experienced CSA or not) healing and hope are offered. An example of a Body Safety Family Plan is provided to develop the skills of self-protection. The parent/caregiver are able to reassure the child that home is where love is-and CSA is not

A historical novel based on a true story about an amazing early twentieth-century woman. She stood out in a crowd of friends and relatives from Casteltermini, a small town in central Sicily.
Her story sheds light on a little-known segment of a twentieth-century diaspora, a mass-exodus from Europe by some "huddled masses yearning to be free." This oppressed group fled the dire poverty of Sicily and southern Italy to endure a subsistence lifestyle bestowed by the owners of the coal mining industry and early American factories. She was surrounded by a clan of families. They were determined to achieve a better lifestyle through sheer hard work, struggling to overcome hardships and failures on the journey to success. They came with barely the clothes on their back. Eager for work, they spoke no English and were willing to do what the average, better-educated American refused to do.
This amazing woman, Maria, was married to a lackluster, strong-tempered, tough, fearless, uneducated man who never worked a steady job his entire life. She endured a series of traumas---miscarriages and still births, each time berated by her husband for not delivering a healthy child.
Starting at age twelve and until she died, her immediate family was her life. Maria passed her work ethic, her entrepreneurial skills, and her determination to get ahead to her children. Her legacy lives on in the succeeding generation of the clan who were better educated and became doctors, dentists, pharmacists, accountants, attorneys, and professors. Some became entrepreneurs like Maria, owning small and large businesses. There was one common denominator: they inherited the hard work ethic and generosity from their parents.
The story begins in 1915.

Описание:
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, known as the Fair Housing Act, prohibited discrimination in the sale, rent, and financing of housing based on race, religion, and national origin. However, manifold historical and contemporary forces, driven by both governmental and private actors, have segregated these protected classes by denying them access to homeownership or housing options in high-performing neighborhoods. Perspectives on Fair Housing argues that meaningful government intervention continues to be required in order to achieve a housing market in which a person's background does not arbitrarily restrict access. The essays in this volume address how residential segregation did not emerge naturally from minority preference but rather how it was forced through legal, economic, social, and even violent measures. Contributors examine racial land use and zoning practices in the early 1900s in cities like Atlanta, Richmond, and Baltimore; the exclusionary effects of single-family zoning and its entanglement with racially motivated barriers to obtaining credit; and the continuing impact of mid-century "redlining" policies and practices on public and private investment levels in neighborhoods across American cities today. Perspectives on Fair Housing demonstrates that discrimination in the housing market results in unequal minority households that, in aggregate, diminish economic prosperity across the country. Amended several times to expand the protected classes to include gender, families with children, and people with disabilities, the FHA's power relies entirely on its consistent enforcement and on programs that further its goals. Perspectives on Fair Housing provides historical, sociological, economic, and legal perspectives on the critical and continuing problem of housing discrimination and offers a review of the tools that, if appropriately supported, can promote racial and economic equity in America.
