Download or read book Unrelated Kin written by Gwendolyn Etter-Lewis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book presents conceptual, theoretical and applied research on women's life histories. The authors fulfill two needs: they provide a collection of essays that grapple with controversial issues in the study of life history, and they present many narratives from women of color, the majority collected and interpreted by women of color. The individual chapters offer a variety of voices linked by a philosophical and political orientation that places women of color at the center of scholarly inquiry rather than at the periphery. Ultimately, readers find in this text innovative ways of reconceptualizing the complexities of women's lives.

Download or read book C Mo Es Dios y Qu Es el Hombre written by Jes Enr Quez Rubio and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El ser humano tiene tendencia natural hacia su creador, como la abeja al panal, la cual está más allá de la razón y de los instintos. Es la convicción no aprendida de que estamos unidos a Dios, cualquiera que sea la idea que de Él tengamos. Nos experimentamos pequeños y desvalidos frente a su infinitud y poder, y esto nos induce a depender y caer, aferrándonos a la idea de que El Señor está obligado a proporcionarnos todo lo que necesitamos. Pero, Dios nos creó a su imagen y semejanza, igualitos a Él en su substancia y cualidades y nos dio los elementos necesarios para poderlo todo; y los problemas de la vida están ahí para ponernos a prueba, para obligarnos a ejercitar nuestras capacidades y a base de eso crecer y crecer, hasta llegar a ser grandes y poderosos como lo es Él y entonces fundirnos en su divina persona siendo uno con Él para toda la eternidad.

Download or read book Presente written by Cristina Tzintzún and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read the media coverage of the increasingly heated debate around immigration reform in the United States: two dominant narratives emerge. From Lou Dobbs to Sean Hannity, commentators on the right have crafted an image rooted in fear, demonizing undocumented immigrants as a threat to national security and raising the specter of a deliberate "browning of America." Left-leaning journalists, on the other hand, foreground victimization, emphasizing the plight of immigrants, stripping them of their agency. Neither captures the range of experiences within undocumented immigrant communities, and both fail to see immigrants as active participants in their own struggle for racial and economic justice. Presente! offers a rare perspective on the immigrant-rights movement, written by immigrant workers themselves. Including a range of essays exploring the intersection of race, class, and immigration in the United States, this anthology challenges its readers to move beyond a "legalization-only" framework and embrace a broader vision for social justice organizing embodied in the work of grassroots organizations across the country resisting state repression, cultivating solidarity, and building alternative models for progressive social change. Offered in a dual-language edition, with a foreword by Democracy Now! co-host Juan Gonzáles. Cristina Tzintzún is the executive director of Workers Defense Project, a Texas based workers' rights organization. Carlos Pérez de Alejo is the executive director of Cooperation Texas, an organization dedicated to the creation of sustainable jobs through the development, support, and promotion of worker-owned cooperatives. Arnulfo Manríquez is an organizer at Workers Defense Project, where he organizes immigrant construction workers to defend their labor and human rights.
