Описание: A search for historic secrets may uncover a present day love Writer-historian Jenna Cade has spent her life in search of the past, particularly with her latest quest to document abandoned cemeteries of the South and the stories behind the stones. But her search for a forgotten graveyard in quaint Sylvan Spring leads her to more than the ghosts of graves untended by human handsit leads her to the doorstep of reclusive stone carver Con Taggart. Still grieving his wifes death, Con has shut himself away from the world, But then a beautiful historian shows up at his door seeking a link between mysterious burial stones and a legend that lingers in the towns history. Working together to uncover the truth behind the lost cemetery may form a deeper connection between them than either realizes. Can the ghosts of graveyards past show these two how to trust in God and to find a love more tangible than any legendary tale of apparitions?

Описание: Since the early 1980s, neoliberalism--the political work of shrinking the state, shredding the social safety net, and increasing wealth disparities--has transformed our lives in the United States. Looking at families and households--the places where we live our economic situation--How All Politics Became Reproductive Politics argues that the politics of reproduction and reproductive labor--the work we do to keep our selves and families alive--are the arena in which we have fought over neoliberalism's shocks and disruptions. Debates about welfare reform, immigration, IVF, and gay marriage have produced a particularly racialized airing of these conflicts. Wall Street, Republicans, and neoliberal Democrats could not have effected changes in government and the economy without designating certain households--impoverished, African American, immigrant--as unworthy of public benefits and social support. From long work hours to intensifying inequalities in infant mortality and housing, How All Politics Became Reproductive Politics measures what we have lost and asks what we must do to get it back.

Описание: Today all politics are reproductive politics, argues esteemed feminist critic Laura Briggs. From longer work hours to the election of Donald Trump, our current political crisis is above all about reproduction. Households are where we face our economic realities as social safety nets get cut and wages decline. Briggs brilliantly outlines how politicians' racist accounts of reproduction--stories of Black "welfare queens" and Latina "breeding machines"--were the leading wedge in the government and business disinvestment in families. With decreasing wages, rising McJobs, and no resources for family care, our households have grown ever more precarious over the past forty years in sharply race-and class-stratified ways. This crisis, argues Briggs, fuels all others--from immigration to gay marriage, anti-feminism to the rise of the Tea Party.
