Download or read book Farm Story written by Eddie Casson and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06-28 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eddie Casson grew up on a farm in a small Indiana town where Church, family, and identity were the unchanging signposts of an acceptable life. Conventionality was more than just expected--it was the highest form of success. Art, music, and movies might have their place here and there, but bonus was for boys to excel at traditional masculine pursuits. Despite always feeling somehow different and apart from most of everyone else around him, he worked hard to be the perfect image of a son, brother, and friend. Reared in a household where perfection and faith were the two pillars of the family, he struggled to understand his own identity as well as the currents of unhappiness--and change--that were beginning to swirl around him and the outside world. Finding his way out of the straight jacket of his past into a different kind of future was a long rock-covered road. He would find that his choices would hurt people he loved along the way, but he also knew that living his true life would be the only thing that would make it all worth it. And with a loving and forgiving heart, he would be able to find his way back to people he loved while stumbling forward into his own happier future. This book is a memoir about growing up in Indiana in the '60s and '70s as a gay kid and young man. It is a series of linked portraits and moments that weave the story through. Eddie worked to really create a sense of what it was like in these particular places in the particular time. The Midwest in those days had barely entered the modern era and his youth and life had a truly gothic, otherworldly cast to it. It conveys not just the struggles of his experience, but the poetry and soulfulness of it as well.

Download or read book American Identity written by B. Kumaravadivelu and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent events such as the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, have led many Americans to lament that the nation they grew up with is unrecognizable now. They see threats to national and individual identity and are fiercely engaged in protecting them. In doing so, some of them deliberately blend the distinction between myth and reality. In this timely and relevant book, the author seeks to provide a critical perspective on who we really are. Taking into consideration the prevailing political, social and cultural conflicts, the author re-examines the changing nature of American identity—primarily its creedal identity, religious identity, cultural identity and linguistic identity—and does so within a broader perspective informed by national and global network of connections. Based on his lived experience as a naturalized citizen and his learned knowledge as a scholar, he synthesizes the professional, the political and the personal. He draws insights from multiple disciplines in Humanities and Social Sciences, from surveys conducted by agencies like the Pew Research Center, and from the practice of everyday American life.

Download or read book Brave New Leader written by Vicky Smith and published by Right Book Press. This book was released on 2023-09-28 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite regular encouragement for employees to speak up if they’re unhappy, and a wide range of personal support systems, wellbeing remains a key concern for leaders at all levels, from small teams to multinationals. The message from the top is to speak candidly and openly about the impact and effect of workplace pressure. However, that messaging isn’t working. The harsh truth is that when people feel under pressure, they worry about speaking up, fuelled by fear of the consequences if they do. Bravery and courage are needed to challenge a workplace culture that sustains fear. This book shows you how to develop and use them to turn the dial in the opposite direction, by utilising pressure to drive growth and performance. It offers you a practical way to identify the fears that sabotage trust and openness, and an employee’s ability to contribute their whole selves at work. Using a proven and scalable approach to eliminating the conditions that nurture fear, it shows you how to: > Strengthen your resolve to tackle an unhealthy workplace culture. > Drive change through small yet powerful adjustments to behaviour. > Use practical tools to create a culture where everyone feels able to speak openly. Built around incremental, achievable steps, Brave New Leader empowers you with the tools, mindset, and courage you need to turn a damaging tide of pressure and fear into an enduring wave of enhanced employee contribution, engagement, fulfilment and wellbeing.

Along the way, we hear tales of Keegan's childhood, his comedy influences, and the vicissitudes of his career path.
