NA VE: Natural and unaffected; innocent; unsophisticated; ingenuous; having or showing a lack of experience, judgment, or information; absence of artificiality;
HOPE: To want and expect something to happen or be true; grounds for believing that something good may happen
NAIVE HOPE: The willingness to believe the best in and of people; tending to trust too easily.
When you believe in the basic goodness of people, and you trust that God will see your heart and be there for you, you may put up with anything in the hope and belief that this will eventually come to pass. And that things will end well. But what do you do when that does not happen?
The Human Spirit can survive many events, many scars. As a Christian wife, a born-again believer living with a proclaimed 'Christian' yet abusive husband, the prescribed answer is to love, forgive, submit and to give more, isn't it?
Or is it?
How long do you have to put up with it?
How much do you have to keep forgiving?
What does it take to make the change that you know must take place?
Marni discovers her own answers. This is the story of how one young misguided girl of good heart and misplaced na ve hope escaped a fate that she did not deserve. Growing into womanhood, she fights to keep her faith. Along the way she discovers that the 'God-fearing' man she married is not going to change, nor do the right thing. The shock of his final betrayals and her enforced eviction activates events that she could not possibly have foreseen. She eventually triumphs to reclaim her self-worth, her sense of self, and her spirit despite this man's driving desire to destroy her and the depths she is dragged into.
Share the journey of her twenty year commitment to a 'Christian' and his tyranny through control, domination, violence and fear, and her eventual self-discoveries before she can face her abuser without quaking.
Описание: Science plays a substantial, though under-acknowledged, role in shaping popular understandings of rape. Statistical figures like "1 in 4 women have experienced completed or attempted rape" are central for raising awareness. Yet such scientific facts often become points of controversy, particularly as conservative scholars and public figures attempt to discredit feminist activists. Rape by the Numbers explores scientists' approaches to studying rape over more than forty years in the United States and Canada. In addition to investigating how scientists come to know the scope, causes, and consequences of rape, this book delves into the politics of rape research. Scholars who study rape often face a range of social pressures and resource constraints, including some that are unique to feminized and politicized fields of inquiry. Collectively, these matters have far-reaching consequences. Scientific projects may determine who counts as a potential victim/survivor or aggressor in a range of contexts, shaping research agendas as well as state policy, anti-violence programming and services, and public perceptions. Social processes within the study of rape determine which knowledges count as credible science, and thus who may count as an expert in academic and public contexts.

Описание:
Filinto M?ller was the most despised police chief in Brazilian history and later a detested senator. M?ller bore the brunt of many accusations of police wrongdoing owing to charges by yellow-journalist David Nasser. This volume examines the totality of M?ller’s life and is the result of 11 years of research in which 66,704 documents, 500 newspapers clippings, and 165 visual items were examined. Numerous interviews were likewise conducted. This work has uncovered little archival evidence to substantiate direct charges against M?ller. This book argues, however, that M?ller was responsible for the invention of modern-day death squads, the first of their kind in the Americas.
Описание: For incarcerated fathers, prison rather than work mediates access to their families. Prison rules and staff regulate phone privileges, access to writing materials, and visits. Perhaps even more important are the ways in which the penal system shapes men's gender performances. Incarcerated men must negotiate how they will enact violence and aggression, both in terms of the expectations placed upon inmates by the prison system and in terms of their own responses to these expectations. Additionally, the relationships between incarcerated men and the mothers of their children change, particularly since women now serve as "gatekeepers" who control when and how they contact their children. This book considers how those within the prison system negotiate their expectations about "real" men and "good" fathers, how prisoners negotiate their relationships with those outside of prison, and in what ways this negotiation reflects their understanding of masculinity.

In this book, H. James Garrett inquires into the processes of learning about the social world, populated as it often is with bewildering instances of loss, violence, and upheaval. In such learning, interactions invite and enliven our passionate responses, or prompt us to avoid them. Interpreting and working with these often emotional reactions is critical to social studies education and developing strategies for individuals to participate in democracy. Garrett illustrates ways that learning about the world does not occur in absence of our intimate relations to knowledge, the way learning sometimes feels like our undoing, and how new knowledge can feel more like a burden than an advantage.
