Book excerpt: I'd like to ask you.... Have you been in a relationship may be you have been thinking was serious that ended because he told you that he loved you but wasn't "in love" with you? Did a man spend days or weeks trying very hard to get close to you and as soon as you started to have feelings for him, get distant at once? Are you trying to attach yourself to a man who isn't yet sure you're his "forever" woman? You probably try everything you can to get a man's interest and care, including being helpful, nice, sweet, sexy - but nothing works to make him want and love you in that special way you wanted to be loved? If you answered yes, I know exactly how you feel. How you can turn your relationship from hell to heaven I think that I have a problem with self-esteem maybe I don't have it at all. It looks like I have been attracting the wrong man for me. You have to be able to recognize if this guy is not for you. After spending a few years with my last partner whom I have loved so dearly, our life together sank into the toilet - there was no sex, no love, or so it seemed, and no real communication. I was miserable all the time. What started out as a magnificent relationship I will always remember, turned into a terrible nightmare. A couple of months ago I found myself once again in a very disturbing situation: the beginning of breaking up a long term difficult relationship. As a mother I couldn't afford to fall apart. So I started investigating Why and How not to get where I found myself in my life. I did spend a lot of time studying my personal behaviour in all my past relationships. I even went further and investigated my Mother in her relationship with my father, whatever I can remember. I also looked at my daughter's present relationship with her friend and her behaviour. I spent a lot of time like this, also reading a lot of books. I went through website after website looking for what to avoid and for advice and information. So I END UP reading, studying and gathering wisdom from professional sociology in particular relating to personal development : in theory, but also in severe personal experiences. And much of it to be completely honest creates a very sad picture in my mind. In seeking remedies, I have achieved disillusionment : a picture of NO ESCAPE. Thank God! I shall persevere with the task. Nevertheless do not want to underestimate my efforts, because I gained so much by going through this complex journey, learning many realities of which I had not been aware. The various processes gave me great opportunities to equip myself with life tools called 'knowledge'. I also learnt that the end is always a beginning, beginning of opportunities and anticipation of the unknown. And the anticipation of the unknown is bountiful in itself. I discovered that the door of life opens again as it closes, revealing a panorama of wondrous opportunities called "The Beginning and the End" . Most significantly, the beginning is always the more dominating force which should overthrow the past. Also I learned that time we invest in our relationships is priceless and we must use it wisely. Every moment presses on us. I adapted what I learned as gradually it became so clear to me. How I Become that magnetic power which Will Turn Him Into The Loving, Devoted, Committed Life Partner I Want Him To Be and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. You can become that woman who gets all men around her instantly and deeply attracted wherever she is. You can generate this power even with men you are not getting on very well with. Have a think about it. Could you imagine him loving you so much, even wiling to do anything to be next to you? Does not feel very real, but you and I know there are women all over the world who are having just that experience! And they always around and more then sure you know one or two personally.
Download or read book The Abused and the Abuser written by Warwick Middleton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Severe abuse often occurs in settings where the grouping, whether based around a family or a community organisation or institution, outwardly appears to be very respectable. The nature of attachment dynamics allied with threat, discrediting, the manipulation of the victim's dissociative defences, long-term conditioning and the endless invoking of shame mean that sexual, physical and emotional abuse may, in some instances, be essentially unending. Even when separation from the long-term abuser is attempted, it may initially be extremely difficult to achieve, and there are some individuals who never achieve this parting. Even when the abuser is dead, the intrapsychic nature of the enduring attachment experienced by their victim remains complicated and difficult to resolve. This volume includes multiple perspectives from highly experienced clinicians, researchers and writers on the nature of the relationship between the abused and their abuser(s). No less than five of this international grouping of authors have been president of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, the world's oldest international trauma society. This book, which opens with a highly original clinical paper on 'weaponized sex' by Richard Kluft, one of the foremost pioneers of the modern dissociative disorders field, concludes with a gripping historical perspective written by Jeffrey Masson as he reengages with issues that first brought him to worldwide prominence in the 1980s. Between these two pieces, the contributors, all highly acclaimed for their clinical, theoretical or research work, present original, cutting edge work on this complex subject. This book was originally published as a double special issue of the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation.

Download or read book From Slave Abuse to Hate Crime written by Ely Aaronson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the complex ways in which political debates and legal reforms regarding the criminalization of racial violence have shaped the development of American racial history. Spanning previous campaigns for criminalizing slave abuse, lynching, and Klan violence and contemporary debates about the legal response to hate crimes, this book reveals both continuity and change in terms of the political forces underpinning the enactment of new laws regarding racial violence in different periods and of the social and institutional problems that hinder the effective enforcement of these laws. A thought-provoking analysis of how criminal law reflects and constructs social norms, this book offers a new historical and theoretical perspective for analyzing the limits of current attempts to use criminal legislation as a weapon against racism.

Download or read book They Were Her Property written by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in History: a bold and searing investigation into the role of white women in the American slave economy “Stunning.”—Rebecca Onion, Slate “Makes a vital contribution to our understanding of our past and present.”—Parul Sehgal, New York Times “Bracingly revisionist. . . . [A] startling corrective.”—Nicholas Guyatt, New York Review of Books Bridging women’s history, the history of the South, and African American history, this book makes a bold argument about the role of white women in American slavery. Historian Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers draws on a variety of sources to show that slave‑owning women were sophisticated economic actors who directly engaged in and benefited from the South’s slave market. Because women typically inherited more slaves than land, enslaved people were often their primary source of wealth. Not only did white women often refuse to cede ownership of their slaves to their husbands, they employed management techniques that were as effective and brutal as those used by slave‑owning men. White women actively participated in the slave market, profited from it, and used it for economic and social empowerment. By examining the economically entangled lives of enslaved people and slave‑owning women, Jones-Rogers presents a narrative that forces us to rethink the economics and social conventions of slaveholding America.
Download or read book Deliverance From the Vicious Cycle of Abuse written by Roxanne " ZaMiya" Pugh and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deliverance from the Vicious Cycle of Abuse is a personal guide down the path of self-awareness and reflection. This book will help you understand that you hold the power and control over your own life; therefore, you determine how others treat you in most case even in situations of forced violations; how you respond determines how you overcome. The way you process how others treat you is ultimately a reflection of how you see yourself and the value that you hold for yourself. This book opens your awareness to various forms of abuse that we don't hear much about such as verbal, emotional, mental, spiritual, and financial in addition to physical and sexual misconduct. The one eye-opener moment anyone reading this book will realize is that at some point in life, we have all participated in inflicting abuse upon someone else or we have endured abuse at the discretion of others; in some cases, we have been on both sides. The good news is no matter where you find yourself, there is a plan for you to face that darkness and move beyond it by making course corrections that will allow you to find your authentic self in order to live your best life. You are not a victim. It's time to regain your power by finding your voice!
Download or read book Slaves of Satan written by Patrick Ryan Bell and published by TrineDay. This book was released on 2024-05-02 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slaves of Satan is an extraordinary book that looks at the darkest corners of the human and diabolical mind and answers the question of why. Why do human beings commit some of the most horrific, appalling, and unspeakable acts known to man. What is it that drives these evil people; serial killers, cult leaders, occultists, and dictators to leave a trail of murder, violence, sexual depravity, and total unmitigated destruction in their wake. Author Patrick Bell through years of extensive research has done a deep dive into one of religions most controversial and terrifying subjects, diabolical possession, and the most serious and horrifying form of it known as Perfect Possession. When a human being has given themselves, their intellect, mind, will and body, their very souls over completely to the source of all evil, Lucifer. The author examines the theology and church teaching behind perfect possession, the three types of it, who it occurs to and why and then examines people from history (Slaves of Satan) who were perfectly possessed including serial killers, dictators, the international occult elite and the diabolical deeds and destruction they have perpetrated, led on by their master the devil, upon the human race.
Download or read book Abuse Power and Fearful Obedience written by Jennifer G. Bird and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jennifer G. Bird analyzes the construction of wives' subjectivity in 1 Peter, working primarily with what is referred to as the Haustafel (household code) section and engaging feminist critical questions, postcolonial theory and materialist theory in her analysis. Bird examines the two crucial labels for understanding Petrine Christian identity--'aliens and refugees' and 'royal priesthood and holy nation"--And finds them to stand in start contrast with the commands and identity given to wives in the Haustafel section. Similarly, the command to 'honour the Emperor', which immediately precedes the Haustafel, engenders a rich discussion of the text's socio-political implications. The critical engagement of several 'symptomatic irruptions' within the commands to the wives uncovers the abusive dynamic underlying this section of the letter. Finally Bird considers the present-day implications of her study."--Publisher description.

This is the standard edition of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, reissued here in the John Harvard Library and updated with a new bibliography.

Download or read book Approaches to the Byzantine Family written by Leslie Brubaker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the family is one of the major lacunas in Byzantine Studies. Angeliki Laiou remarked in 1989 that ’the study of the Byzantine family is still in its infancy’, and this assertion remains true today. The present volume addresses this lacuna. It comprises 19 chapters written by international experts in the field which take a variety of approaches to the study of the Byzantine family, and embrace a chronological span from the later Roman to the late Byzantine empire. The context is established by chapters focusing on the Roman roots of the Byzantine family, the Christianisation of the family, and the nature of the family in contemporaneous cultures (the late antique west and the Islamic east). Key methodological approaches to the Byzantine family are highlighted and discussed, in particular prosopographical and life course approaches. The contribution of hagiography to the understanding of the Byzantine family is analysed by several authors; other chapters on the family and children in art and on the archaeology of the Middle Byzantine house explore the material evidence that can shed light on the Byzantine family. Overall, the diversity of families that existed in Byzantium (blood, fictive, metaphorical) is emphasised, and chapters consider the specific cases of ascetic, monastic, aristocratic and peasant families, as well as the imperial family, which is illuminated by the comparative case of a Caliphal family. The volume is topped and tailed by a Preface and an Afterword by the editors, which address the state of the field and consider the way ahead. Thus the volume is vital in putting the subject of the Byzantine Family in sharp focus and setting the research agenda for the future.
Download or read book Slaves to Fashion written by Robert Ross and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-02-22 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A brilliant and beautiful book, the mature work of a lifetime, must reading for students of the globalization debate." ---Tom Hayden "Slaves to Fashion is a remarkable achievement, several books in one: a gripping history of sweatshops, explaining their decline, fall, and return; a study of how the media portray them; an analysis of the fortunes of the current anti-sweatshop movement; an anatomy of the global traffic in apparel, in particular the South-South competition that sends wages and working conditions plummeting toward the bottom; and not least, a passionate declaration of faith that humanity can find a way to get its work done without sweatshops. This is engaged sociology at its most stimulating." ---Todd Gitlin ". . . unflinchingly portrays the reemergence of the sweatshop in our dog-eat-dog economy." ---Los Angeles Times Just as Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed uncovered the plight of the working poor in America, Robert J. S. Ross's Slaves to Fashion exposes the dark side of the apparel industry and its exploited workers at home and abroad. It's both a lesson in American business history and a warning about one of the most important issues facing the global capital economy-the reappearance of the sweatshop. Vividly detailing the decline and tragic rebirth of sweatshop conditions in the American apparel industry of the twentieth century, Ross explains the new sweatshops as a product of unregulated global capitalism and associated deregulation, union erosion, and exploitation of undocumented workers. Using historical material and economic and social data, the author shows that after a brief thirty-five years of fair practices, the U.S. apparel business has once again sunk to shameful abuse and exploitation. Refreshingly jargon-free but documented in depth, Slaves to Fashion is the only work to estimate the size of the sweatshop problem and to systematically show its impact on apparel workers' wages. It is also unique in its analysis of the budgets and personnel used in enforcing the Fair Labor Standards Act. Anyone who is concerned about this urgent social and economic topic and wants to go beyond the headlines should read this important and timely contribution to the rising debate on low-wage factory labor. Robert J.S. Ross is Professor of Sociology, Clark University. He is an expert in the area of sweatshops and globalization. He is an activist academic who travels and lectures extensively and has published numerous related articles.
Download or read book Birthing a Slave written by Marie Jenkins Schwartz and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deprivations and cruelty of slavery have overshadowed our understanding of the institution's most human dimension: birth. We often don't realize that after the United States stopped importing slaves in 1808, births were more important than ever; slavery and the southern way of life could continue only through babies born in bondage. In the antebellum South, slaveholders' interest in slave women was matched by physicians struggling to assert their own professional authority over childbirth, and the two began to work together to increase the number of infants born in the slave quarter. In unprecedented ways, doctors tried to manage the health of enslaved women from puberty through the reproductive years, attempting to foster pregnancy, cure infertility, and resolve gynecological problems, including cancer. Black women, however, proved an unruly force, distrustful of both the slaveholders and their doctors. With their own healing traditions, emphasizing the power of roots and herbs and the critical roles of family and community, enslaved women struggled to take charge of their own health in a system that did not respect their social circumstances, customs, or values. Birthing a Slave depicts the competing approaches to reproductive health that evolved on plantations, as both black women and white men sought to enhance the health of enslaved mothers--in very different ways and for entirely different reasons. Birthing a Slave is the first book to focus exclusively on the health care of enslaved women, and it argues convincingly for the critical role of reproductive medicine in the slave system of antebellum America.
Download or read book The Abuse of Minors in the Catholic Church written by Anthony J. Blasi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an academically rigorous examination of the biological, psychological, social and ecclesiastical processes that allowed sexual abuse in the Catholic Church to happen and then be covered up. The collected essays provide a means to better assess systemic wrongdoing in religious institutions, so that they can be more effectively held to account. An international team of contributors apply a necessarily multi-disciplinary approach to this difficult subject. Chapters look closely at the sexual abuse of minors by Roman Catholic clerics, explaining the complexity of this issue, which cannot be reduced to simple misconduct, sexual deviation, or a management failure alone. The book will help the reader to better understand the social, organizational, and cultural processes in the Church over recent decades, as well as the intricate world of beliefs, moral rules, and behaviours. It concludes with some strategies for change at the individual and corporate levels that will better ensure safeguarding within the Catholic Church and its affiliate institutions. This multifaceted study gives a nuanced analysis of this huge organizational failure and offers recommendations for effective ways of preventing it in the future. As such, it will be of keen interest to scholars of Religious Studies, Sociology of Religion, Psychology, Psychiatry, Legal Studies, Ethics, Anthropology, Cultural Studies, History, and Theology.
Download or read book Ties That Bind written by Tiya Miles and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-06-23 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully written book, now in its second edition, tells the haunting saga of a quintessentially American family. In the late 1790s, Shoe Boots, a famed Cherokee warrior and successful farmer, acquired an African slave named Doll. Over the next thirty years, Shoe Boots and Doll lived together as master and slave and also as lifelong partners who, with their children and grandchildren, experienced key events in American history—including slavery, the Creek War, the founding of the Cherokee Nation and subsequent removal of Native Americans along the Trail of Tears, and the Civil War. This is the gripping story of their lives, in slavery and in freedom. Meticulously crafted from historical and literary sources, Ties That Bind vividly portrays the members of the Shoeboots family. Doll emerges as an especially poignant character, whose life is mostly known through the records of things done to her—her purchase, her marriage, the loss of her children—but also through her moving petition to the federal government for the pension owed to her as Shoe Boots's widow. A sensitive rendition of the hard realities of black slavery within Native American nations, the book provides the fullest picture we have of the myriad complexities, ironies, and tensions among African Americans, Native Americans, and whites in the first half of the nineteenth century. Updated with a new preface and an appendix of key primary sources, this remains an essential book for students of Native American history, African American history, and the history of race and ethnicity in the United States.
