Par Hoda Barakat. 2021
Winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction, this novel weaves together a series of devastating confessions about life in…
contemporary Arab society This profound and disturbing novel by acclaimed Lebanese author Hoda Barakat tells the story of characters living on the periphery, battling with poverty, and fighting their own demons. Set in an unnamed, war-torn country, the novel consists of six letters—all intercepted by unintended recipients, all of whom are compelled to write their own letters of confession. An undocumented immigrant writes his former lover. A woman in a hotel writes a man from her past. An escaped torturer recounts his crimes to his mother. A former prostitute writes to her brother. A young queer man recounts to his estranged father his partner&’s battle with AIDS. Finally, the mailman leaves his own note. Incisive, troubling and deeply human, this is an urgent story of lives intimately woven together in a society that is tearing itself apart.El hambre
Par Martín Caparrós. 2021
Un libro incómodo y apasionado. Es una crónica que piensa, un ensayo que narra y un panfleto que denuncia la…
urgencia de una vergüenza sostenida y busca la manera de acabar con ella. «Conocemos el hambre, estamos acostumbrados al hambre: sentimos hambre dos, tres veces al día. No hay nada más frecuente, más constante, más presente en nuestras vidas que el hambre –y, al mismo tiempo, para muchos de nosotros, nada más lejano que el hambre verdadera.» Para entenderlo, para contarlo, Martín Caparrós recorrió la geografía del hambre, desde la India, Bangladesh, Níger, Kenia y Sudán hasta naciones desarrolladas como Estados Unidos y España. Allí encontró a quienes, por distintas razones –sequías, pobreza extrema, guerras, marginación–, sufren hambre. De sus historias está hecho El Hambre, y de las historias de quienes trabajan en condiciones muy precarias para paliarla, y las de quienes especulan con los alimentos y hambrean a tanta gente. Y, por desgracia, sigue tan vigente. Seis años después, pandemia mediante, el problema se ha profundizado: por eso presentamos una nueva edición revisada y actualizada de esta investigación exhaustiva sobre los mecanismos que hacen que casi mil millones de personas no coman lo que necesitan. La crítica ha dicho...«El Hambre de Marín Caparrós es mucho más que un ensayo, mucho más que una novela. Caparrós usa la literatura para llevarnos a un infierno de realidad, una realidad lejana, de la cual Caparrós es muy consciente.»Roberto Saviano, 2015 «El no-lector de El Hambre se está privando de un conocimiento esencial [...] Daría una mano por haberlo escrito.»Juan José Millás «Impresiona, incomoda y fascina. Consigue noquear a nuestra tan acomodada civilización.»Núria Escur, La Vanguardia «Caparrós es colosal en esos terrenos resbaladizos donde las cosas dejan de encajar en los moldes correctos como, por ejemplo, el momento en que un hombre decide sacar a su hija desnutrida del hospital asiático en el que está internada porque, según él, la nena está bien y, además, necesita que su mujer regrese a casa. De esa manera, una criatura que pudo salvarse es condenada a una muerte casi segura por su propio padre. Es en esos huecos vertiginosos, cuando se busca frenéticamente a quién calzarle la culpa, por donde el libro expulsa sus venenos más fuertes. Caparrós mira de cerca a la medicina occidental, a las religiones, a las ONG, a los Gobiernos, a las esposas, a los maridos, a sí mismo, hasta que no queda nada en pie.»Leila Guerriero, El País «El Hambre habla de política, de pobreza, de miseria, de economía, de oenegés, de la ONU y de la FAO, de multinacionales sin escrúpulos que negocian con los alimentos, de emigración, de la vergüenza de las villamiserias, de fórmulas presuntamente milagrosas, de la epidemia de obesidad en Estados Unidos -otra expresión de un mismo fenómeno- de la expansión china, de... Este libro habla de muchas cosas, pero deja claro que el hambre es en todo el mundo una experiencia que demuestra el fracaso de nuestra civilización.»Xavier Moret, El periódico «Sobre todo en esa obra maestra de la no ficción que es El Hambre, Caparrós ha dejado claro que su apuesta es global, universal.»Jorge Carrión, Clarín «El autor de El Hambre (Anagrama, 2015), considera este libro un fracaso desde el arranque: "Una exploración del mayor fracaso del género humano no podía sino fracasar". Sin embargo, el impacto y alcance de la obra sugieren que ha encontrado la tecla adecuada para tratar la cuestión. Es su aportación en la lucha contra "el hambre más canalla de la historia". Esa que hoy día no depende de la capacidad humana de obtener alimento —anualmente se produce más del doble de la comida necesaria para alimentar a todo el planeta— sino de voluntad política o prácticasThe Routledge Handbook of Law and Society
Par Mariana Valverde, Prabha Kotiswaran, Eve Darian-Smith, Kamari Clarke. 2021
This innovative handbook provides a comprehensive, and truly global, overview of the main approaches and themes within law and society…
scholarship or social-legal studies. A one-volume introduction to academic resources and ideas that are relevant for today’s debates on issues from reproductive justice to climate justice, food security, water conflicts, artificial intelligence, and global financial transactions, this handbook is divided into two sections. The first, ‘Perspectives and Approaches’, accessibly explains a variety of frameworks through which the relationship between law and society is addressed and understood, with emphasis on contemporary perspectives that are relatively new to many socio-legal scholars. Following the book’s overall interest in social justice, the entries in this section of the book show how conceptual tools originate in, and help to illuminate, real-world issues. The second and largest section of the book (42 short well-written pieces) presents reflections on topics or areas concerning law, justice, and society that are inherently interdisciplinary and that are relevance to current – but also classical – struggles around justice. Informing readers about the lineage of ideas that are used or could be used today for research and activism, the book attends to the full range of local, national and transnational issues in law and society. The authors were carefully chosen to achieve a diverse and non-Eurocentric view of socio-legal studies. This volume will be invaluable for law students, those in inter-disciplinary programs such as law and society, justice studies and legal studies, and those with interests in law, but based in other social sciences. It will also appeal to general readers interested in questions of justice and rights, including activists and advocates around the world.Not Without My Sister
Par Kristina Jones, Celeste Jones, Juliana Buhring. 2007
Kristina, Celeste, and Juliana were all born into the Children of God cult, and from as early as three years old…
were mistreated and used as sexual beings. They were denied access to formal schooling, forced to wander the streets begging for money, and were mercilessly beaten for "crimes" as harmless as reading an encyclopedia. After being separated from each other and their mothers and forced to live in various missions with multiple foster parents, the sisters eventually managed to escape. In this startling exposé, they have come together to reveal in horrific detail the group that has destroyed the lives of so many. Their intertwining stories reveal a community spread throughout the world whose legacy of anorexia, depression, drug abuse, suicide, and even murder are impossible to erase. Together, the sisters found a strength that finally enabled them to uncover and free themselves from the shadows of their past.The Wilding of America: Money, Mayhem, and the New American Dream
Par Charles Derber. 2011
The American dream champions individualism. But at what price? In the fully updated fifth edition of The Wilding of America,…
Charles Derber chronicles the latest incidents of "wilding"- acts of self-interested violence or greed that weaken the social fabric. Each chapter of the new edition has been thoroughly revised. New discussions include: an analysis of global corporate power in the wake of the 2008 economic crisis including an in-depth look at factory workers in both Guatemala and South China; an examination of the state of New Orleans in 2009; and a look at the impact of the Obama administration on wilding behavior. In addition, two all new chapters have been added to the Fifth Edition. Chapter 5,Subprime Capitalism, examines the 2008 Wall street collapse including sections on the rise and fall of Bernie Madoff, the workings of the housing market, and the role of the media before and after the collapse. Chapter 9,The Tragedy of the Commons, identifies how wilding behavior threatens the building blocks of a good society. This chapter specifically examines the effects of wilding on our public space, social infrastructure, and natural environment.First Person Plural: My Life As a Multiple
Par Cameron West. 1999
"What the hell's happening to me? I feel possessed. I'm talking gibberish in the mirror and somebody else's voice is…
coming out of my mouth!" Cameron West was in his thirties, a successful businessman, happily married and the father of a young son, when he spoke these words. The "voice" belonged to Davy. the first of twenty-four distinct personalities to emerge over a period of several months and recount memories of horrific abuse that had been kept secret from West all his life. There was eight-year-old Clay, tense and stuttering; twelve-year-old Dusty, gentle and kind, but disappointed to find herself in the body of a middle-aged man: Bart, lightheaded and supportive; Leif, with his incredible focus and drive, who sometimes overwhelmed West with his demands, and nineteen other personalitiesall with distinct characteristics, mannerisms, and memories. In first Person Plural, West offers a poignant account of his efforts to understand the workings of his fragmented mind and to heal his damaged spirit as he desperately hangs on to the slender thread that connects him to his wife, Rikki, his son, Kyle, and some semblance of a regular life. In addition to a spellbinding story. West provides rare and unprecedented insight into the fascinating workings of the mind of a multiple and his alters' coexistence with one another and with those "outside." heart wrenching. humorous, and ultimately hopeful. First Person Plural is a story that will make you stand in awe of the power of the mind to protect itself and cheer for West as he struggles to gain control of his life.Reconstructing America: 1865-1890 (A History of Us #7)
Par Joy Hakim. 2005
Covering a time of great hope and incredible change, Reconstruction and Reform is a dramatic look at life after the…
Civil War in the newly re-United States. Railroad tycoons were roaring across the country. New cities sprang up across the plains, and a new and different American West came into being: a land of farmers, ranchers, miners, and city dwellers. Back East, large scale immigration was also going on, but not all Americans wanted newcomers in the country. Technology moved forward: Thomas Edison lit up the world with his electric light. And social justice was on everyone's mind with Carry Nation wielding a hatchet in her battle against drunkenness and Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. DuBois counseling newly freed African Americans to behave in very different ways. Through it all, the reunited nation struggles to keep the promises of freedom in this exciting chapter in the A History of US.

Par Nancy M. Fitzsimons. 2009
This book is written for and is about people with all types of disabilities-- physical, sensory (vision or hearing), intellectual,…
and mental health. The focus is on adults with disabilities, not children. Although much of the information applies to children with disabilities, this book is written using the research and literature about adults with disabilities. The resources provided are adult focused. The ideas for combating violence and abuse are geared toward adults. This book addresses abuse of both men and women with disabilities. However, it is important to know that the majority of research and writing on this issue is about women with disabilities. So far, very little emphasis has been placed on understanding abuse of men with disabilities. This book is also written for all of the people who support or provide services to people with disabilities. When victims need supports and services to increase their independence, disability services professionals play an important part. In short, many professionals, along with family members and friends, need to take action.Reinventing Food Banks and Pantries: New Tools to End Hunger
Par Katie S. Martin. 2021
In the US, there is a wide-ranging network of at least 370 food banks, and more than 60,000 hunger-relief organizations…
such as food pantries and meal programs. These groups provide billions of meals a year to people in need. And yet hunger still affects one in nine Americans. What are we doing wrong?In Reinventing Food Banks and Pantries, Katie Martin argues that if handing out more and more food was the answer, we would have solved the problem of hunger decades ago. Martin instead presents a new model for charitable food, one where success is measured not by pounds of food distributed but by lives changed. The key is to focus on the root causes of hunger. When we shift our attention to strategies that build empathy, equity, and political will, we can implement real solutions. Martin shares those solutions in a warm, engaging style, with simple steps that anyone working or volunteering at a food bank or pantry can take today. Some are short-term strategies to create a more dignified experience for food pantry clients: providing client choice, where individuals select their own food, or redesigning a waiting room with better seating and a designated greeter. Some are longer-term: increasing the supply of healthy food, offering job training programs, or connecting clients to other social services. And some are big picture: joining the fight for living wages and a stronger social safety net.These strategies are illustrated through inspiring success stories and backed up by scientific research. Throughout, readers will find a wealth of proven ideas to make their charitable food organizations more empathetic and more effective. As Martin writes, it takes more than food to end hunger. Picking up this insightful, lively book is a great first step.Breaking Free Workbook: Help For Survivors Of Child Sex Abuse
Par Kay Toon, Carolyn Ainscough. 2020
As a survivor of sexual abuse in childhood, you may find that its effects continue to haunt you - bringing…
guilt and shame, perhaps depression and anxiety, eating disorders, troubled relationships and sexual difficulties. But although you can't alter the past, you can change the present and the future. Breaking Free, by Kay Toon and Carolyn Ainscough, draws on their nationally recognized and pioneering work as clinical psychologists giving a voice to the Survivors of child sexual abuse. It uses their courage and experiences to help other survivors face their past and take steps towards a better future. This new edition of the accompanying workbook now refers to types of abuse that have come to light more recently, such as street exploitation, and abuse by celebrities, politicians and football coaches, as well as the use of digital technology to groom children and young people. Practical exercises work step-by-step on the problems that result from being sexually abused as a child. They are designed to present survivors with different ways to think about the past, and to arm you with new strategies to move on from the problems that disrupt the present, and look forward to the future.Exercises like these can be very beneficial, but they can also be painful. They can bring up strong feelings, so at every stage your safety and well-being are the first concern, and the book includes essential coping strategies for getting the level of support you need.This practical book will be enormously useful for survivors of sexual abuse, and may also help those who have been abused emotionally or physically. Therapists will also find it a useful resource to use with clients, and both this book and Breaking Free are regularly recommended by professionals in the NHS and also in the media.Lost Boy, Lost Girl: Escaping Civil War in Sudan

One of thousands of children who fled strife in southern Sudan, John Bul Dau survived hunger, exhaustion, and violence. His…
wife, Martha, endured similar hardships. In this memorable book, the two convey the best of African values while relating searing accounts of famine and war. There's warmth as well, in their humorous tales of adapting to American life. For its importance as a primary source, for its inclusion of the rarely told female perspective of Sudan's lost children, for its celebration of human resilience, this is the perfect story to inform and inspire young readers.The Lost Boy

Par Ramón A. Feenstra, Cristina Flesher Fominaya. 2020
European social movements have become increasingly visible in recent years, generating intense public debates. From anti-austerity and pro-democracy movements to…
right-wing nationalist movements, these movements expose core conflicts around European democracy, identity, politics and society. The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary European Social Movements offers a comprehensive interdisciplinary overview of the analysis of European social movements, helping to orient scholars and students navigating a rapidly evolving field while developing a new agenda for research in the area. The book is divided into eight sections: Visions of Europe; Contemporary models of democracy; Historical evolution of major European movements; Feminism and sexualities; Movement diffusion within and beyond Europe; Anti-austerity movements; Technopolitical and media movements; and Movements, parties and movement-parties. Key theories and empirical trajectories of core movements, their central issues, debates and impacts are covered, with a focus on how these have influenced and been influenced by their European context. Democracy, and how social movements understand it, renew it, or undermine it, forms a core thread that runs through the book. Written in a clear and direct style, the Handbook provides a key resource for students and scholars hoping to understand the key debates and innovations unfolding in the heart of European social movements and how these affect broader debates on such areas as democracy, human rights, the right to the city, feminism, neoliberalism, nationalism, migration and European values, identity and politics. Extensive references and sources will direct readers to areas of further study.Miss Narco

Par Roya Hakakian. 2021
A stirring, witty, and poignant glimpse into the bewildering American immigrant experience from someone who has lived it. Also, a…
mirror held up to America.Into the maelstrom of unprecedented contemporary debates about immigrants in the United States, this perfectly timed book gives us a portrait of what the new immigrant experience in America is really like. Written as a "guide" for the newly arrived, and providing "practical information and advice," Roya Hakakian, an immigrant herself, reveals what those who settle here love about the country, what they miss about their homes, the cruelty of some Americans, and the unceasing generosity of others. She captures the texture of life in a new place in all its complexity, laying bare both its beauty and its darkness as she discusses race, sex, love, death, consumerism, and what it is like to be from a country that is in America's crosshairs. Her tenderly perceptive and surprisingly humorous account invites us to see ourselves as we appear to others, making it possible for us to rediscover our many American gifts through the perspective of the outsider. In shattering myths and embracing painful contradictions that are unique to this place, A Beginner's Guide to America is Hakakian's candid love letter to America.The Routledge International Handbook of Domestic Violence and Abuse (Routledge International Handbooks)
Par Stephanie Holt, John Devaney, Carolina Øverlien, Caroline Bradbury-Jones, Rebecca J. Macy. 2021
This book makes an important contribution to the international understanding of domestic violence and shares the latest knowledge of what causes…
and sustains domestic violence between intimate partners, as well as the effectiveness of responses in working with adult and child victims, and those who act abusively towards their partners. Drawing upon a wide range of contemporary research from across the globe, it recognises that domestic violence is both universal, but also shaped by local cultures and contexts. Divided into seven parts:• Introduction.• Theoretical perspectives on domestic violence and abuse.• Domestic violence and abuse across the life-course.• Manifestations of domestic violence and abuse.• Responding to domestic violence and abuse.• Researching domestic violence and abuse.• Concluding thoughts. It will be of interest to all academics and students working in social work, allied health, sociology, criminology and gender studies as well as policy professionals looking for new approaches to the subject.The Use of Victim Impact Statements in Sentencing for Sexual Offences: Stories of Strength (Routledge Frontiers of Criminal Justice)
Par Rhiannon Davies, Lorana Bartels. 2021
Drawing on extensive research from Australia, this book examines the experiences of sexual offence victims who submit a victim impact…
statement. Victim impact statements are used in sentencing to outline the harm caused to victims. There has been little research on the impact statement experiences of sexual offence victims. This book fills this gap, examining the perspectives of six adult female victims and 15 justice professionals in Australia. This is supplemented by analysis of 100 sentencing remarks, revealing how courts use such statements in practice. This book examines victims’ experiences of preparing and submitting statements, justice professionals’ experiences of working with victims to submit statements, and the judicial use of impact statements in sentencing. It identifies an overarching lack of clarity around the purpose of impact statements, which affects the information that can be included and the way they can be used by the court. It consequently explore issues associated with balancing the expressive and instrumental purposes of such statements, and the challenges in communication between professionals and victims of crime. The findings highlight several issues with the operation of impact statement regimes. Based on these findings, the book makes recommendations to clarify such regimes, to improve communication between justice professionals and victims of crime, and to enhance the therapeutic goals of such statements. An accessible and compelling read, this book is essential reading for all those engaged with victimology, sentencing, and sexual violence.Globalisation and Poverty: Channels and Policy Responses (Routledge Studies in Globalisation)
Par Maurizio Bussolo, Jeffery I. Round. 2006
The consequences of globalization for the world's poor are uncertain and fierce rhetoric is dividing its supporters and detractors. The…
channels of effect of essentially macroeconomic shocks on the microeconomic position of individuals and households in poor countries are many and various. This book addresses three core issues: 1) what are the main channels of effect? 2) what are the lessons to be learned from policy measures to alleviate negative poverty consequences? and 3) do the proposed analytical approaches assist in providing a monitoring capability? This volume assesses the more easily quantifiable effects resulting from price and quantity responses in the goods and labour markets. It includes studies of Colombia, Ghana, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Vietnam. It uses key analytical approaches, most of which are based on numerical simulation methods employing models with different levels of complexity. These models capture the features of an economy, how it functions, and how it might respond to globalization shocks. The most important collective contribution of the authors is their establishment of directions and magnitudes of effect, based on empirical evidence.
