Описание: Entering the academy at the dawn of the women's rights movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the first generation of feminist academics had a difficult journey. With few female role models, they had to forge their own path and prove that feminist scholarship was a legitimate enterprise. Later, when many of these scholars moved into administrative positions, hoping to reform the university system from within, they encountered entrenched hierarchies, bureaucracies, and old boys' networks that made it difficult to put their feminist principles into practice. In this compelling memoir, Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault describes how a Catholic girl from small-town Nebraska discovered her callings as a feminist, as an academic, and as a university administrator. She recounts her experiences at three very different schools: the small progressive Lewis & Clark College, the massive regional university of Cal State Fullerton, and the rapidly expanding Portland State University. Reflecting on both her accomplishments and challenges, she considers just how much second-wave feminism has transformed academia and how much reform is still needed. With remarkable candor and compassion, Thompson Tetreault provides an intimate personal look at an era when both women's lives and university culture changed for good.

Описание:
What are the conditions needed for our nation to bridge cultural and racial divides? By "writing beyond race," noted cultural critic bell hooks models the constructive ways scholars, activists, and readers can challenge and change systems of domination.
In the spirit of previous classics like Outlaw Culture and Reel to Real, this new collection of compelling essays interrogates contemporary cultural notions of race, gender, and class. From the films Precious and Crash to recent biographies of Malcolm X and Henrietta Lacks, hooks offers provocative insights into the way race is being talked about in this "post-racial" era.

Описание: Overwhelmed and institutionalized by dark and self-destructive voices, the author learns to overcome her auditory hallucinations by calling them "the neighbors." The other weapon she uses to reclaim her self-worth is writing and gifting others with her poetry. Living with the Neighbors is a hybrid memoir of prose and poetry that traces the authors journey through severe mental illness and into recovery. This intimate portrayal of what it is like to live with this condition, begins at a peer-run, farmhouse retreat located in the Green Mountains of Vermont where nature, a river, and her poetry become sources of healing. Here is a book full of inspiration for anyone who struggles with self-esteem issues, shame, and self-doubt. The authors battle with post-traumatic stress (PTSD) resulting from sexual assault lies at the root cause of her hearing voices. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will experience sexual violence that includes physical contact at some point in their lives, leaving the victim feeling scared, angry, guilty, anxious, and sad. In some cases, it leads to madness. In Jodis case, it led to an invasion of her consciousness by incredibly angry and life-threatening audio-hallucinations in the form of mens voices. Jodi dubbed them" the neighbors" to divide and protect her mind from their chaos. They led her to suicide attempts and electro-shock therapy as a cure. Living with the Neighbors is a trial by fire, a tempering, and a resistance to seeming external forces that sought to destroy her. Jodi Girouards memoir of prose and her vivid poetry tell a story of pain, suffering, acceptance, determination, and eventual success that soars above the typical range of recovery stories. Her peaks and valleys of depression and redemption are phenomenal and written like an adventure tale.

Описание:
One afternoon in December 1992, in Tartu, Estonia, Yuri Mikhailovich Lotman reluctantly sat down to dictate his memoirs to Elena Pogosian, his assistant, over a pot of tea. It was to be the first of twelve dictation sessions during which the initial draft of Non-Memoirs was created. The sessions were spread out over that winter and into the spring of 1993--the last spring of Lotman's life. The result of the process is this book - a book of memories and recollections of a good part of 20th century, divided into seven sections. The five shorter sections concern themselves with a single anecdote or theme (lice on the front, an encounter with a hare, a "totally Bulgakovian" episode, a visit from the KGB, Tartu School politics); the two longer sections provide the narrative backbone of the memoirs, tending to treat the passage of time, rather than a single event (school and frontline life, the end of the war and postwar university life).
