Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychological entitlement, or a sense that some individuals or groups are inherently worthier of certain privileges, is an overlooked but essential feature of the persistent inequality that resists social progress and oppresses those in the margins. In the political climate that gave rise to and resulted in Donald Trump's presidency, confusion, rage, and feelings of victimization linger among those who felt empowered by the validation felt with him into office--feelings that existed and will continue to exist independently of the former president himself. Enraged, Rattled, and Wronged confronts psychological entitlement in its many forms or related attributes, such as narcissism, to expose the ugly truths at the heart of this phenomenon. In exploring how members of advantaged groups come to understand their belief in their own worthiness relative to those in disadvantaged groups, expert psychologist Kristin J. Anderson channels her research and expertise in prejudice and discrimination to ask critical questions of the current political and social climate. What happens to entitled people when they feel pushed aside? How does their inflated sense of deservingness make them vulnerable to manipulation by the demagogues who use them, blinding them to the negative outcomes that are often paradoxical? What are they willing to tear down as they scramble to keep their grip on the status and power they believe are rightfully theirs? How has entitled rage played out historically, and how do these events lend themselves to both the predictable and unpredictable manifestations of power grabs that we see now? Drawing from a wealth of timely examples and empirical literature, Anderson situates this anger as backlash against the social progress that empowers marginalized groups, even at the expense of the dominant group, if necessary. Citing historical moments such as the rage of whites directed at newly freed African Americans in the South during Reconstruction and the anger of the entitled when women have attempted to control their reproduction, Anderson traces this phenomenon over time and delineates the link between individual-level processing of psychological deservingness and macro-level problems that impede equality, concluding with a call for action for to dominant group members to join the vibrant movements for social progress that have emerged in recent years.

When a DNA test matches him to a brother, Christian hopes that he will finally find the answers he’d always been searching for. However, he’s not quite prepared for the answers he’s about to get. Zoe St. John had thought she’d put her past and her family behind her. She’d accepted that her future would not have a happily ever after. Further, she was quite happy to be surrounded by her friends and fully embraced a future growing old surrounded by cats and dogs. At least, those were the plans until Andrew Lankford enters her life once again. Andrew Lankford had spent years looking for his mother and sister and as a last result decided to try the popular DNA tests. What he hadn’t counted on was being matched with a potential brother. He didn’t have a brother. Yet apparently he did. Through his brother, he also finds the one person he never thought to see again—his best friend from childhood—Zoe St. John. But, once the dust settles, will more fractures upset Christian’s world?

Twelve years since she’s seen her older brothers and younger sister, and she’s pretty sure they’ve forgotten about her. If they haven’t, why haven’t they found her? Twelve years she’s lived in the system but now that she’s eighteen, she’s on her own and has control of her life. Tennyson “Tex” Lippencott came to New York with dreams of becoming a boxer. He’ll never make it big, but that’s okay. His dream is to remain here and one day own his own gym and he found the perfect place for his training at Miguel’s Gym, and only has a year and a half before he earns the degree necessary to move on to the next phase of his life. Tex has known Nina for two years, since she was a smart-mouthed, tough teen working with him. Except something happened in the last six months that he is finding difficult to manage—he’s fallen in love with her. This was not supposed to happen, but he doesn’t exactly want to fight it either. Nina has had it bad for Tex for a few months, not that she’d ever tell him. His sweet smile and heart the size of Texas is way too good for her and even if he did care, as soon as he learned the ugliness of her past, he’d distance him in a heartbeat. If it’s one thing she learned since she was taken from her family, was to build those walls and keep them reinforced so nobody can ever hurt her again. If only he’d leave her alone and quit insisting that she find her family. The family she’s afraid had forgotten her. Can Tex tear down her walls and will she allow him to.

Download or read book Rattling the Cage written by Brent Meersman and published by Pan Macmillan South africa. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most South Africans have strong views on our past and present, often based on how we have been personally affected by history, and an understanding of the challenges that face us as a country. But how well-examined and solid are these positions? Have your views been properly thought through? Are you correctly informed? Do you even have the facts straight? Rattling the Cage takes the reader on an informed tour of the South African reality: from the highs and lows, the successes and failures, FW de Klerk’s gaffes to Fees Must Fall, the Oscar Pistorius trial, the 2010 FIFA World Cup, triple BEE, global warming, the Covid-19 pandemic, gay rights in Africa, and veganism. Among the questions Meersman asks are: Do South Africans still believe in their Constitution and democracy? Why do so many young South Africans say Nelson Mandela was a sell-out and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was a dismal failure? Is outlawing hate speech and criminalising racist behaviour really a good idea? Why do communities still burn down their schools? How did the Marikana massacre happen in the democratic era? Why are African immigrants increasingly unwelcome in South Africa? Can our media be trusted to tell us the truth? And how do we embrace climate change? History, big-picture philosophy, grassroots journalism and a novelist’s eye – animated by a genuine sense of moral indignation at the current state of the nation – come together in these essays to provide critical perspectives on and insights into South Africa’s recent past and current political, economic and social undercurrents. No matter what your views are, you are sure to find your understanding of the country deepened, challenged and sometimes changed.
