Book excerpt: "Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian women were sentenced to the GULAG in the 1940s and 1950s. Only about half of them survived. In Survival as Victory: Ukrainian Women in the Gulag, Oksana Kis has produced the first anthropological study of daily life in the Soviet forced labor camps as experienced by Ukrainian women prisoners. Based on the written memoirs, autobiographies, and oral histories of over 150 survivors, this book fills a lacuna in the scholarship regarding Ukrainian experience. It details the women's resistance to the brutality of camp conditions not only through the preservation of customs and traditions from everyday home life, but also through the frequent elision of regional and confessional differences. Following on from the groundbreaking work of Anne Applebaum's Gulag: A History (2003), this book is a must-read for anyone interested in gendered strategies of survival, accommodation, and resistance to the dehumanizing effects of the Gulag"-- Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Surviving Autocracy written by Masha Gessen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “When Gessen speaks about autocracy, you listen.” —The New York Times “A reckoning with what has been lost in the past few years and a map forward with our beliefs intact.” —Interview As seen on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and heard on NPR’s All Things Considered: the bestselling, National Book Award–winning journalist offers an essential guide to understanding, resisting, and recovering from the ravages of our tumultuous times. This incisive book provides an essential guide to understanding and recovering from the calamitous corrosion of American democracy over the past few years. Thanks to the special perspective that is the legacy of a Soviet childhood and two decades covering the resurgence of totalitarianism in Russia, Masha Gessen has a sixth sense for the manifestations of autocracy—and the unique cross-cultural fluency to delineate their emergence to Americans. Gessen not only anatomizes the corrosion of the institutions and cultural norms we hoped would save us but also tells us the story of how a short few years changed us from a people who saw ourselves as a nation of immigrants to a populace haggling over a border wall, heirs to a degraded sense of truth, meaning, and possibility. Surviving Autocracy is an inventory of ravages and a call to account but also a beacon to recovery—and to the hope of what comes next.
Download or read book Creation and the Persistence of Evil written by Jon D. Levenson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1994-12-19 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paperback edition brings to a wide audience one of the most innovative and meaningful models of God for this post-Auschwitz era. In a thought-provoking return to the original Hebrew conception of God, which questions accepted conceptions of divine omnipotence, Jon Levenson defines God's authorship of the world as a consequence of his victory in his struggle with evil. He traces a flexible conception of God to the earliest Hebrew sources, arguing, for example, that Genesis 1 does not describe the banishment of evil but the attempt to contain the menace of evil in the world, a struggle that continues today.

Download or read book Moving on written by Wanda Winters-gutierrez and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011-09-10 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving On... is a quick read...100 Plus Pages of Pure InspirationIt began as a second edition to an earlier book. One month into the edits it took on a life of its own. While it still contains a few of the inspirational letters I wrote to a hurricane survivor, it is also a book for the survivors of storms beyond natural disasters. Storms driven by un-met needs, un-healed hurts, un-resolved issues, which shroud us in clouds of depression, low self-esteem, confusion, loneliness. The kinds of storms that leave us with broken hearts, broken dreams, broken lives. The storms you and I have lived through, and sometimes camped-out in for long weary nights. This book is about acknowledging 'what is' and making quality decisions to move on to 'what can be.' This book is about change and choices. It is about a new beginning in all areas of life. They say that the books that really change a reader's life are those that change the author's as well. In this collection of articles, book excerpts, poetry, and quotes I share my heart. I pray they will give you the inspiration for your journey as they did mine. Moving On… follows my personal journey into the world of survivors from the early days until now. It is a world of pain and beauty, hopelessness and healing, death and new life. Now imagine we are sitting at my kitchen table. I have poured you a hot cup of coffee, or tea if you prefer. There may even be a plate of warm cookies nearby. We talk and laugh, perhaps shed a few tears. As I take your hand in mine and look into your eyes I want you to realize that no matter what the present circumstances are… 'Happiness' is your destination, and 'Choice' is your passport. I tell you upfront I have only one message... “While I celebrate your survival, I know for sure it is only a launching pad for your beautiful future. You have within you all you need to begin again. God has much more for you and you can take the first step today.” Blessings, Wanda G.
