Download or read book White Tears Brown Scars written by Ruby Hamad and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called “powerful and provocative" by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, author of the New York Times bestselling How to be an Antiracist, this explosive book of history and cultural criticism reveals how white feminism has been used as a weapon of white supremacy and patriarchy deployed against Black and Indigenous women, and women of color. Taking us from the slave era, when white women fought in court to keep “ownership” of their slaves, through the centuries of colonialism, when they offered a soft face for brutal tactics, to the modern workplace, White Tears/Brown Scars tells a charged story of white women’s active participation in campaigns of oppression. It offers a long overdue validation of the experiences of women of color. Discussing subjects as varied as The Hunger Games, Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez, the viral BBQ Becky video, and 19th century lynchings of Mexicans in the American Southwest, Ruby Hamad undertakes a new investigation of gender and race. She shows how the division between innocent white women and racialized, sexualized women of color was created, and why this division is crucial to confront. Along the way, there are revelatory responses to questions like: Why are white men not troubled by sexual assault on women? (See Christine Blasey Ford.) With rigor and precision, Hamad builds a powerful argument about the legacy of white superiority that we are socialized within, a reality that we must apprehend in order to fight. "A stunning and thorough look at White womanhood that should be required reading for anyone who claims to be an intersectional feminist. Hamad’s controlled urgency makes the book an illuminating and poignant read. Hamad is a purveyor of such bold thinking, the only question is, are we ready to listen?" —Rosa Boshier, The Washington Post

That pitiful sum changed my entire life. It bought my entire life. A measly ten thousand dollars, given to my boyfriend by a monster to taste me. He took it. The monster took me. And I never saw freedom again.” I’m the illegitimate son of a monster. My other half-blooded siblings have their own demons…but me? I truly have the devil inside. I try to be good. To do my best to ignore the deep, dark, despicable urges. But every day it gets harder. I thought family could help. I reached out to my infamous half-brother, Q, begging for his secrets to stay tamed. Instead, he gave me an ultimatum to prove I’m not like our father. Infiltrate The Jewelry Box: a trafficking ring of poor unfortunate souls, kill the Master Jeweler, free the Jewels, and don’t lose my rotten soul while trying. Only problem is…my initiation into this exclusive club is earning a Jewel all of my own. She sparkles like diamonds, bleeds like rubies, and bruises as deep as emeralds. She’s mine to break. I can’t refuse. If I want to prove to my half-brother that I’m not like our sire, I have to sink into urges I’ve always fought, plunge into madness, and lose myself so deeply into sin that the only one who will be breaking is me. A spin-off from the New York Times Bestselling series Monsters in the Dark. The Jewelry Box follows Henri Mercer (Q's half-brother) and you don't have to read Monsters in the Dark to enjoy.

To all those dark souls out there...welcome to The Jewelry Box Reviews: 5 Stars There are two authors that have the ability to render my brain mush with anxiety, dread and ultimately a large amount of intrigue. And Pepper is one of them. The way she laid the foundation for what I know will be my next favorite dark romance tale just proves how talented she is. -- I am Booked 5 Stars How can I articulate how much I loved this book? I don’t think I can find words to do it justice. Beneath all the rawness, dark aspects and suffering, this story is captivating, overwhelming and hauntingly beautiful.-- Jennii The Book Addict 5 Stars This book just blew my mind. An emotionally challenging read, addictive writing and morally graphite-grey characters that play with boundaries of morality are hallmarks of Pepper. Pulling you in with gravitational force you will be left astounded, heartbroken, maybe sick at some parts, but you won't escape unscathed & unaffected. This series should be a mandatory read for any lover of dark romance. Nobody ...and I mean NOBODY can create more complex characters with bottomless pits for souls, like she can. -- Book Bistro Blog 5 Stars Back to her roots...Pepper Winters starts off a new series full of depravity. Dark and sexy...I can tell this series will not be for the faint of heart, and, most likely, if you have ANY triggers, it will not be for you. If you enjoy sexiness and a shopping list of trigger warnings...then this will be right up your alley. - Danielle and Her S*** Books

Download or read book Life in Debt written by Clara Han and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chile is widely known as the first experiment in neoliberalism in Latin America, carried out and made possible through state violence. Since the beginning of the transition in 1990, the state has pursued a national project of reconciliation construed as debts owed to the population. The state owed a "social debt" to the poor accrued through inequalities generated by economic liberalization, while society owed a "moral debt" to the victims of human rights violations. Life in Debt invites us into lives and world of a poor urban neighborhood in Santiago. Tracing relations and lives between 1999 and 2010, Clara Han explores how the moral and political subjects imagined and asserted by poverty and mental health policies and reparations for human rights violations are refracted through relational modes and their boundaries. Attending to intimate scenes and neighborhood life, Han reveals the force of relations in the making of selves in a world in which unstable work patterns, illness, and pervasive economic indebtedness are aspects of everyday life. Lucidly written, Life in Debt provides a unique meditation on both the past inhabiting actual life conditions but also on the difficulties of obligation and achievements of responsiveness.
