Download or read book Soul Pain written by Helen Black and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the multifaceted experience of suffering in old age. Older adults suffer from a variety of causes such as illness, loss, and life disappointment, to name a few. Suffering also occurs due to experiences related to one's gender, ethnic background, and religion. Although gerontological literature has equated suffering with depression, grief, pain and sadness, elders themselves distinguished suffering from these concepts and at the same time showed how they are linked. Narratives of suffering from community-dwelling elders are interpreted in this book, along with the personal meaning of suffering that lies within each narrative.
Download or read book The Free People s Village written by Sim Kern and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USA TODAY BESTSELLER Official IndieNext Selection "Incisive and insightful." — Texas Monthly From environmental journalist and founder of the #TransRightsReadathon Sim Kern, comes the eat-the-rich climate fiction you won't want to put down: In an alternate 2020 timeline, Al Gore won the 2000 election and declared a War on Climate Change rather than a War on Terror. For twenty years, Democrats have controlled all three branches of government, enacting carbon-cutting schemes that never made it to a vote in our world. Green infrastructure projects have transformed U.S. cities into lush paradises (for the wealthy, white neighborhoods, at least), and the Bureau of Carbon Regulation levies carbon taxes on every financial transaction. English teacher by day, Maddie Ryan spends her nights and weekends as the rhythm guitarist of Bunny Bloodlust, a queer punk band living in a warehouse-turned-venue called “The Lab” in Houston’s Eighth Ward. When Maddie learns that the Eighth Ward is to be sacrificed for a new electromagnetic hyperway out to the wealthy, white suburbs, she joins “Save the Eighth,” a Black-led organizing movement fighting for the neighborhood. At first, she’s only focused on keeping her band together and getting closer to Red, their reckless and enigmatic lead guitarist. But working with Save the Eighth forces Maddie to reckon with the harm she has already done to the neighborhood—both as a resident of the gentrifying Lab and as a white teacher in a predominantly Black school. When police respond to Save the Eighth protests with violence, the Lab becomes the epicenter of “The Free People’s Village”—an occupation that promises to be the birthplace of an anti-capitalist revolution. As the movement spreads across the U.S., Maddie dreams of a queer, liberated future with Red. But the Village is beset on all sides—by infighting, police brutality, corporate-owned media, and rising ecofascism. Maddie’s found family is increasingly at risk from state violence, and she must decide if she’s willing to sacrifice everything in pursuit of justice. “Sim Kern’s masterpiece burns with righteous fury. This book doesn’t pull punches — instead of hopelessness, it sliced straight through frustration, fatalism, and ennui and made me want to fight back.” —Shana Hausman, All She Wrote Books “Achingly real, bitterly funny, and deeply moving, The Free People’s Village is a commentary, both compassionate and cutting, on the woke white activist’s journey and, above all, a full-throated ode to resistance and the found family that fuels it.” — Megan Bell, Southern Bookseller Review "Full of furious kindness, radical community, passionate politics, and authentic friendships, The Free People's Village is a sharply-written paean to hope, set in a vivid, brilliantly imagined future that alternately filled me with loathing and yearning. From the carefully crafted timelines to the intensely real characters, this was a story that yanked me into its world and didn't let me surface for hours. You live because you still can, and you organize because you still can, and you fight because you still can." – Premee Mohamed, Nebula Award-winning author of And What Can We Offer You Tonight “A thought-provoking, exciting ride. The Free People's Village is a mesmerizing portrait of revolutions — the internal ones that call us to find and fight for the best versions of ourselves; the external that consume, invigorate, and demand as they explore paths to justice. Grounded in an imaginative landscape and rounded out by an inclusive, complex cast, this novel masterfully explores identity, morality, and the choices we make as vehicles that hold radical power in the quest for liberation. More than a love letter to Houston, its bayous, and people forgotten and remembered, Sim Kern's world sings with possibility, hope, and joy that will leave you laughing--and crying — long after the last bomb has dropped." —Ehigbor Okosun, author of Forged by Blood "Beautiful, brilliant, and unflinching, The Free People's Village will both inspire you and devour you...in the best possible way." — Nicky Drayden, author of Escaping Exodus and The Prey of Gods

The call and subsequent investigation lead to the discovery of a dead millionaire.

Years later, a school assignment triggers Axel Henson to investigate whether or not his own brother was involved. When his brother’s defeats start to pile up, the family ends up relying on a less than perfect system of legislators, science, and exonerations, which drive Axel to fight on.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting and redemptive family memoir, The Four Walls of My Freedom is Donna Thomson’s account of raising a son with cerebral palsy and a passionate appeal to change the way we think about “the good life.” Donna Thomson’s life was forever changed when her son Nicholas was born with cerebral palsy. A former actor, director, and teacher, Donna became his primary caregiver and embarked on a second career as a disability activist, author, and consultant. Thomson vividly describes her experience in treading delicately through daily care, emergencies, and medical bureaucracy as she and her family cope with her son’s condition while maintaining value and dignity (for Nicholas, too). She brilliantly demonstrates the vital contribution that people with disabilities make to our society and addresses the ethics and economics of giving and receiving care. Featuring an introduction by John Ralston Saul, and two new chapters, The Four Walls of My Freedom is a passionate appeal to change to the way we think about the “good life” that will touch anyone caring for the life of another.
Download or read book Justice Prevailed at Last written by Prashna Narayana Rai and published by Exceller Books. This book was released on 2024-09-18 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel is the English translation of the Kannada novel "Katheyadhale Kavayithree," originally published in March 2022 by author Prashna Narayana Rai. From the lofty perch of Themis, blindfolded and wielding the scales of justice, the triumph of equity is an axiom. Yet, as Sudhathri, raised on such idealistic tales, discovered during her baptism by fire in the courtroom, the scales often tip precariously. Justice isn't guaranteed to outweigh transgression; rather, brute force frequently prevails. This disillusionment sparked a fire within her: a determination to bolster the weight of justice. Enter Mugil, a childhood friend wasting away in the clutches of addiction under the thrall of Quarter Kariyappa, the gang leader. Ayesha, another childhood friend, exhausts herself in vain attempts to pull him back from the precipice. Desperate, she turns to Sudhathri, a college junior whose fictional narratives have captivated audiences. Sudhathri, wielding the power of pen and prose, crafts a poignant love story mirroring Mugil's life. The lines between fiction and reality blur, and Sudhathri finds herself enmeshed in the narrative she weaves. Set against the backdrop of a modern world, "Justice Prevailed at Last" interweaves the celestial love story of Earth and Sky with the intricate tapestry of Sudhathri, Mugil, and a cast of compelling characters. It delves deeper, questioning the impact of humanity's relentless reshaping of the world. Does nature, the primeval force of creation, countenance this disruption? Does humankind, in its hubristic efforts to mold the five elements to its will, recognize the potential consequences? This novel is a poignant exploration of justice, love, and the delicate balance between human intervention and the natural world.

A key element of this book is a focus on The Gambia's human rights situation and political landscape political turmoil; prison conditions and the plight of prisoners; the death penalty and executions; detention without trial, disappearances, torture, and extrajudicial killings; and, political repression, and corruption. These are all addressed from Dr. Amadou Scattered Janneh's personal experience and knowledge as a trained journalist, political scientist, former cabinet minister, entrepreneur, former political prisoner sentenced to a life-term, and a leading critic of the dictatorial regime of President Yahya Jammeh. Standing Up Against Injustice looks at Amadou's evolution from a seemingly shy pupil at Gunjur Primary School to a budding activist at Saint Augustine's High School; from a leading anti-apartheid activist at The University of Tennessee to a cabinet minister, and a political prisoner jailed for life. There is an extensive discussion of prison conditions and his incarceration at the Gambia's notorious Mile II Central Prisons where he saw prisoners being dragged away for execution in August 2012. The book concludes with a discussion of events leading to Dr. Janneh's release from prison through the intervention of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, and his expulsion to the United States in September 2012.
