Описание: This is not another eat, pray, love story. You will not be finding yourself reading the inner existential crisis of a mediocre western woman in South East Asia, leaving her inhibitions to the hands of idle men. This story is not about love, although there has been love. It is not about second chances or some sort of self-healing guru rendition of the young women who, against all odds, made it out of poverty. This story is about agency, self-determination, and the discovery of how to manipulate the reality around me. It is about making connections between the abstract and the foreign from the perspective of a young woman, pressured by patriarchy; she rebelled with her tattoos and piercings to be her own hero and potentially a hereon in the global effort for peace, justice, and equality.As I am riding a rickety rusted-out blue bus smelling of petrol and cleaning chemicals across a highway three hours north of Bangkok, I can't help but reflect on my life's journey. It has not been an ordinary one, drinking imported beer along the Seine in Paris, conducting research on war-related rape in Liberia, dodging bullets at checkpoints in Occupied Palestine, how did a girl from a trailer park in Michigan come to redefine her socio-economic status to take on the world's most corrupt powers?When I retell my story, usually in a dust-covered Irish pub located in the dodgiest neighborhood I can find, I always receive the same reaction, "how old are you?" Age is just a number, one that is measured by an agrarian methodology, not by your actual experiences here on Earth. "I'm twenty-nine years old, but it feels like I've lived someone else's lifetime." I must forewarn you; this is not a romantic comedy where I meet some amazing person who sweeps me off my feet. This is not a fairy tale. I do not sugar coat my sexual exploits, the death and destruction I have seen working in conflict countries or lie about who and what is responsible for our lack of morality. This also not some humanitarian manifesto where I try to convince you to save the world or a jaded description of how utterly fucked we all are. It's a memoir of a young woman who, despite this chaotic world, found humanity in hidden places.***To help support refugees and other stateless individuals caused by climate change and violent conflict, 20% of all revenue will be donated to the UNHCR, the largest intergovernmental organization for refugees in the world.***
Описание: “Grandchildren meet their grandparents at the end,” Denise Low says, “as tragic figures. We remember their decline and deaths. . . . The story we see as grandchildren is like a garden covered by snow, just outlines visible.” Low brings to light deeply held secrets of Native ancestry as she recovers the life story of her Kansas grandfather, Frank Bruner (1889–1963). She remembers her childhood in Kansas, where her grandparents remained at a distance, personally and physically, from their grandchildren, despite living only a few miles away. As an adult, she comes to understand her grandfather’s Delaware (Lenape) legacy of persecution and heroic survival in the southern plains of the early 1900s, where the Ku Klux Klan attacked Native people along with other ethnic minorities. As a result of such experiences, the Bruner family fled to Kansas City and suppressed their non-European ancestry as completely as possible. As Low unravels this hidden family history of the Lenape diaspora, she discovers the lasting impact of trauma and substance abuse, the deep sense of loss and shame related to suppressed family emotions, and the power of collective memory. Low traveled extensively around Kansas, tracking family history until she understood her grandfather’s political activism and his healing heritage of connections to the land. In this moving exploration of her grandfather’s life, the former poet laureate of Kansas evokes the beauty of the Flint Hills grasslands, the hardships her grandfather endured, and the continued discovery of his teachings.
For more than four decades, Hugh Segal has been one of the leading voices of progressive conservatism in Canada. A self-described Red Tory warrior who disdains “bootstrap” approaches to poverty, he has always promoted policies, especially a basic annual income, to help the most economically vulnerable. Why would a life-long Tory support something so radical? In this revealing memoir, Segal shares how his life and experiences brought him to this most unlikely of places, beginning with his childhood in a poor immigrant family in Montreal to his time as a chief of staff for Prime Minister Mulroney and to his more recent work as an advisor on a basic income pilot project for the Ontario Liberal government. This book is a passionate argument not only for why a basic annual income makes economic sense, but for why it is the right thing to do.
