Download or read book Kamala Harris written by Dan Morain and published by ROCA EDITORIAL. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una reveladora biografía de la primera mujer de color en presentarse a la vicepresidencia de Estados Unidos, demostrando cómo la hija de dos inmigrantes en la segregada California se convirtió en una de las políticas más poderosas del país. Kamala Harris es una mujer muy poco convencional, y su historia personal representa lo mejor de Estados Unidos. Creció siendo la hija mayor de una madre soltera, una investigadora especializada en cáncer que emigró de la India a los diecinueve años en busca de una educación mejor. Se separó de su marido, un economista originario de Jamaica, cuando Kamala tenía cinco años. La Kamala Harris que la gente conoce es dura, inteligente, ingeniosa y exigente. Como fiscal, sus argumentos agudos son legendarios, pero se muestra más reticente cuando tiene que hablar de sí misma, incluso en sus memorias. Afortunadamente, el reportero de Los Angeles Times Dan Morain ha estado siempre a su lado, desde el principio de su carrera profesional. En Kamala Harris, Morain explica su carrera profesional desde sus inicios, trabajando en casos de abusos de menores y homicidios como fiscal de distrito del condado de Alameda y también la relación que a los veintinueve años mantuvo con Willie Brown, alcalde en aquella época de la ciudad de San Francisco y el hombre más poderoso del estado de California, una relación que duró cinco años y que terminó cambiando por completo la vida de Kamala. Morain lleva a los lectores a los años en los que Kamala fue también fiscal de distrito de San Francisco, relata sus primeros contactos con el aquel entonces muy poco conocido Barack Obama y detalla a la vez cómo se fue abriendo paso hasta convertirse en senadora de Estados Unidos. Morain analiza también su fracaso como candidata a la presidencia y la campaña que libró entre bambalinas para hacerse finalmente con la candidatura a la vicepresidencia. Este es un retrato muy fiel de sus valores y sus prioridades, del tipo de personas de las que se rodea, del tipo de problemas en los que se desenvuelve mejor y de los pasos en falso y los riesgos que ha tenido que asumir en su camino a la cima política de su país. Reseñas: «Una biografía repleta de detalles. Kamala Harris omitió muchos detalles en su propia autobiografía. Dan Morain se ha encargado de llenar muchos de esos espacios en blanco.» The Wall Street Journal «Una hoja de ruta esencial para comprender la vida y la trayectoria política de la primera vicepresidenta en la historia de los Estados Unidos.» Politico «Morain aporta una profunda familiaridad con la política de California a una biografía de una Kamala Harris admirada pero equilibrada. Una narrativa enérgica y políticamente muy bien informada.» Kirkus Reviews «La gran experiencia periodística de Morain cubriendo la política de California es evidente en cada página. Esta es una lectura excelente para cualquiera que esté interesado en un relato ricamente contextualizado de la evolución política de Kamala Harris.» Booklist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.

Download or read book In the Time of the Butterflies written by Julia Alvarez and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, internationally bestselling author and literary icon Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies is "beautiful, heartbreaking and alive ... a lyrical work of historical fiction based on the story of the Mirabal sisters, revolutionary heroes who had opposed and fought against Trujillo." (Concepción de León, New York Times) Alvarez’s new novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories, is coming April 2, 2024. Pre-order now! It is November 25, 1960, and three beautiful sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official state newspaper reports their deaths as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s dictatorship. It doesn’t have to. Everybody knows of Las Mariposas—the Butterflies. In this extraordinary novel, the voices of all four sisters--Minerva, Patria, María Teresa, and the survivor, Dedé--speak across the decades to tell their own stories, from secret crushes to gunrunning, and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo’s rule. Through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez’s imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage and love, and the human costs of political oppression. "Alvarez helped blaze the trail for Latina authors to break into the literary mainstream, with novels like In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents winning praise from critics and gracing best-seller lists across the Americas."—Francisco Cantú, The New York Times Book Review "This Julia Alvarez classic is a must-read for anyone of Latinx descent." —Popsugar.com "A gorgeous and sensitive novel . . . A compelling story of courage, patriotism and familial devotion." —People "Shimmering . . . Valuable and necessary." —Los Angeles Times "A magnificent treasure for all cultures and all time.” —St. Petersburg Times "Alvarez does a remarkable job illustrating the ruinous effect the 30-year dictatorship had on the Dominican Republic and the very real human cost it entailed."—Cosmopolitan.com

Download or read book The Trumps written by Gwenda Blair and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive family biography of President Donald Trump. The revealing story of the Trumps mirrors America’s transformation from a land of striving immigrants to a world in which the aura of wealth alone can guarantee a fortune. The Trumps begins with a portrait of President Trump’s immigrant grandfather, who as a young man built hotels for miners in Alaska during the Klondike gold rush. His son, Fred, took advantage of the New Deal, using government subsidies and loopholes to construct hugely successful housing developments in the 1940s and 1950s. The profits from Fred’s enterprises paved the way for President Trump’s roller-coaster ride through the 1980s and 1990s into the new century. With his talent for extravagant exaggeration—he calls it “truthful hyperbole”—President Trump turned the deal-making know-how of his forebears into an art form. By placing this much-publicized life within the context of family, Gwenda Blair adds a new dimension to the larger-than-life figure who ascended to the American Presidency.

Download or read book Girl Boy Girl written by Savannah Knoop and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon to be a major motion picture starring Kristen Stewart (as JT) and Laura Dern. The JT LeRoy scandal is a story of our times. In January 2006, the New York Times unmasked Savannah Knoop as the face of the mysterious author JT LeRoy. A media frenzy ensued as JT’s fans, mentors, and readers came to terms with the fact that the gay-male-ex-truck-stop-prostitute-turned literary-wunderkind was really a girl from San Francisco, whose sister-in-law wrote the books. Girl Boy Girl is the story of how Savannah Knoop led this bizarre double life for six years, trading a precarious existence as a college dropout for a life in which she was embraced by celebrities and artists—Carrie Fisher, Courtney Love, Mary Ellen Mark, Winona Ryder, Asia Argento, Sharon Olds, Gus Van Sant, Mike Pitt, Calvin Klein, and Shirley Manson, to name a few—and traveled the world. Telling her side of the story for the first time, Savannah reveals how being perceived as a boy gave her a sense of confidence and entitlement she never had before. Her love affair with Asia Argento is particularly wrenching, as they embark on an intimate relationship that causes more alienation than closeness. As Savannah and Laura struggle over control of the JT character, Savannah realizes the limits of the game - - and inadvertently finds herself through the adventure of being someone else.

Download or read book The Two Sexes written by Eleanor E. Maccoby and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does being male or female shape us? And what, aside from obvious anatomical differences, does being male or female mean? In this book, the distinguished psychologist Eleanor Maccoby explores how individuals express their sexual identity at successive periods of their lives. A book about sex in the broadest sense, The Two Sexes seeks to tell us how our development from infancy through adolescence and into adulthood is affected by gender. Chief among Maccoby's contentions is that gender differences appear primarily in group, or social, contexts. In childhood, boys and girls tend to gravitate toward others of their own sex. The Two Sexes examines why this segregation occurs and how boys' groups and girls' groups develop distinct cultures with different agendas. Deploying evidence from her own research and studies by many other scholars, Maccoby identifies a complex combination of biological, cognitive, and social factors that contribute to gender segregation and group differentiation. A major finding of The Two Sexes is that these childhood experiences in same-sex groups profoundly influence how members of the two sexes relate to one another in adulthood--as lovers, coworkers, and parents. Maccoby shows how, in constructing these adult relationships, men and women utilize old elements from their childhood experiences as well as new ones arising from different adult agendas. Finally, she considers social changes in gender roles in light of her discoveries about the constraints and opportunities implicit in the same-sex and cross-sex relationships of childhood.
