Download or read book You re Wearing That written by Deborah Tannen and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2006-12-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deborah Tannen's #1 New York Times bestseller You Just Don’t Understand revolutionized communication between women and men. Now, in her most provocative and engaging book to date, she takes on what is potentially the most fraught and passionate connection of women’s lives: the mother-daughter relationship. It was Tannen who first showed us that men and women speak different languages. Mothers and daughters speak the same language–but still often misunderstand each other, as they struggle to find the right balance between closeness and independence. Both mothers and daughters want to be seen for who they are, but tend to see the other as falling short of who she should be. Each overestimates the other’s power and underestimates her own. Why do daughters complain that their mothers always criticize, while mothers feel hurt that their daughters shut them out? Why do mothers and daughters critique each other on the Big Three–hair, clothes, and weight–while longing for approval and understanding? And why do they scrutinize each other for reflections of themselves? Deborah Tannen answers these and many other questions as she explains why a remark that would be harmless coming from anyone else can cause an explosion when it comes from your mother or your daughter. She examines every aspect of this complex dynamic, from the dark side that can shadow a woman throughout her life, to the new technologies like e-mail and instant messaging that are transforming mother-daughter communication. Most important, she helps mothers and daughters understand each other, the key to improving their relationship. With groundbreaking insights, pitch-perfect dialogues, and deeply moving memories of her own mother, Tannen untangles the knots daughters and mothers can get tied up in. Readers will appreciate Tannen’s humor as they see themselves on every page and come away with real hope for breaking down barriers and opening new lines of communication. Eye-opening and heartfelt, You’re Wearing That? illuminates and enriches one of the most important relationships in our lives. “Tannen analyzes and decodes scores of conversations between moms and daughters. These exchanges are so real they can make you squirm as you relive the last fraught conversation you had with your own mother or daughter. But Tannen doesn't just point out the pitfalls of the mother-daughter relationship, she also provides guidance for changing the conversations (or the way that we feel about the conversations) before they degenerate into what Tannen calls a mutually aggravating spiral, a "self-perpetuating cycle of escalating responses that become provocations." – The San Francisco Chronicle

Book excerpt: The full history of St. Patrick's day is captured here for the first time in The Wearing of the Green. Illustrated with photos, the book spans the medieval origins, steeped in folklore and myth, through its turbulent and troubled times when it acted as fuel for fierce political argument, and tells the fascinating story of how the celebration of 17th March was transformed from a stuffy dinner for Ireland's elite to one of the world's most public festivals. Looking at more general Irish traditions and Irish communities throughout the world, Mike Cronin and Daryl Adair follow the history of this widely celebrated event, examining how the day has been exploited both politically and commercially, and they explore the shared heritage of the Irish through the development of this unique patriotic holiday. Highly informative for students of history, cultural studies and sociology, and an absolute delight for anyone interested in the fascinating and unique culture of Ireland.

Download or read book Law and the Wearing of Religious Symbols written by Erica Howard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in accessible language, Law and the Wearing of Religious Symbols is a comprehensive analysis of a topical subject that is being widely debated across Europe. The book provides an overview of emerging case law from the European Court of Human Rights as well as from national courts and equality bodies in European countries on the wearing of religious symbols in educational settings. The author persuasively argues that bans on the wearing of religious symbols in educational institutions in Europe constitutes a breach of an individual’s human rights and contravenes existing anti-discrimination legislation. The book offers a discussion of developments in Europe, including the French ban on Islamic head scarves which came into force in April 2011. In addition to an in depth examination of recent bans, the book also assess the arguments used for imposing them as well as the legal claims that can potentially be made to challenge their validity. In doing this, the book will go beyond merely analysing the bans in place to suggest ways in which educational institutions can most fairly respond to requests for accommodation of the wearing of religious symbols and whether perhaps the adoption of other provisions or measures are necessary in order to improve the present situation. This book will be of particular interest to students and academics in the disciplines of law, human rights, political science, sociology and education, but will also be of considerable value to policy makers and educators as well.

Download or read book Wearing the Cheongsam written by Cheryl Sim and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Associations between the cheongsam dress and Chinese cultural identity are well known but what are the meanings of the cheongsam for members of the Chinese diaspora? In a study grounded in first-hand accounts of wearing, Cheryl Sim explores the practices and experiences of women in Canada, a major Chinese diaspora, and carries out the first in-depth study of the cheongsam from this critical point of view. Questions explored over the course of 20 interviews, as well as during personal reflections on the author's own experiences of wearing, include: is there a desire to re-claim or appropriate the cheongsam? Does this desire risk perpetuating stereotypes of Asian women? Does it undermine one's identification with one's host country? Can erased heritage(s) be accessed through dress? And how does wearing the cheongsam interact with the male gaze? Revealing feelings of repulsion and attraction, Sim combines personal stories with an authoritative use of theoretical frameworks such as feminism, post-colonialism and autoethnography. Covering issues such as heritage, ethnic identity, authenticity, nationalism, patriarchy and assimilation, Sim demonstrates that the meanings of the cheongsam are multifarious. Readable but with strong academic underpinnings, this book is the entry point into discussions of Chinese dress and diaspora.

Download or read book The Experiences of Face Veil Wearers in Europe and the Law written by Eva Brems and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most remarkable aspects pertaining to the legal bans and societal debates on the face veil in Europe is that they rely on assumptions which lack any factual basis. To rectify this, Eva Brems researched the experiences of women who wear a face veil in Belgium and brought her research results together with those of colleagues who did the same in four other European countries. Their findings, which are outlined in this volume, move the current discussion on face veil bans forward by providing a much-needed insider perspective. In addition, a number of legal and social science scholars comment on the empirical findings and on the face veil issue more generally.

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The police. You know everything about them. Or do you? To a lot of people, the world of police officers is a secretive and mysterious place. They’re either omnipresent or never around. Saving lives or roughing people up. Being jerks or buying groceries for a family caught shoplifting for food. In reality, all of the above are true. But what’s not known is why it’s true. Like any job, there are things about policing the general public doesn’t know (or want to know) about. And given the age we live in, the proliferation of police experts who don’t know anything about policing has exploded. So many experts with so little knowledge giving away so much bad advice. This is a guide with real life humorous examples on how to successfully deal with police written by a nearly 30-year veteran police sergeant. A guide to improving police-community relations. A guide to understanding why cops do what they do. And most importantly, a guide to avoiding ending your night wearing orange jammies. Oh, and don't forget wearing underwear that hundreds of other people have worn too. Yes, that's what really happens.

Download or read book Wearing the Niqab written by Anna Piela and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing niqab wearers' voices to the fore, discussing their narratives on religious agency, identity, social interaction, community, and urban spaces, Anna Piela situates women's accounts firmly within UK and US socio-political contexts as well as within media discourses on Islam. The niqab has recently emerged as one of the most ubiquitous symbols of everything that is perceived to be wrong with Islam: barbarity, backwardness, exploitation of women, and political radicalization. Yet all these notions are assigned to women who wear the niqab without their consultation; “niqab debates” are held without their voices being heard, and, when they do speak, their views are dismissed. However, the picture painted by the stories told here demonstrates that, for these women, religious symbols such as the niqab are deeply personal, freely chosen, multilayered, and socially situated. Wearing the Niqab gives voice to these women and their stories, and sets the record straight, enhancing understanding of the complex picture around niqab and religious identity and agency.

But the road to redemption has its share of surprises, and it will take all the love and faith Shari and Dillon can muster to turn a difficult situation into a lifelong blessing.

Book excerpt: Who Are You Wearing? I'm Wearing An Original by God The devil may wear Prada for a season, but Jesus is wearing Aerosoles for a lifetime. "Who Are You Wearing?" is a stylish Christian book that takes an entertaining look at the world of fashion from a biblical perspective. We live in a world today where the media on the red carpet has become so obsessed with the famous fashion question, "Who are you wearing?" When celebrities are asked this question they have no problem giving a shout out to their favorite fashion designers. I often wondered what Christians would say if a reporter asked them amidst hundreds of cameras, "Who are you wearing?" Over the years there have been many well-known fashion designers whose creations have been duplicated and whose style has come and gone, but there is only one supreme designer whose creation has never been duplicated. He is the ultimate designer, he is God Almighty. "Who Are You Wearing?" reminds Christian women that God is the original designer of all styles, colors, shapes and patterns. While the world of fashion is constantly changing, the word of God will always remain in style. The devil may wear Prada for a season, but Jesus is wearing Aerosoles for a lifetime. For the woman who loves her accessories, God has designed an awesome accessory ensemble starting from the top of your head to soles of your feet called the full armor of God. When you read 'Who Are You Wearing" you will learn how wearing the full armor of God will bless your life and the lives of those around you.
