Good girl. Good person. Goody-goody two-shoes.
You have likely heard these phrases. You may have even used them. You could even identify with them. But what exactly qualifies a person as "good?" At what point do "good" people become "bad?" Is mere "goodness" enough to impress a holy, righteous God?
In Good Girls Hidden Sins: Shining the Light on the Darkness, Charity Dera chronicles her own life as a girl who once struggled with "good girl syndrome." Dera provides a biblical basis to understanding many subliminal sins that she has wrestled with over the years and once attempted to hide. Letting go of her self-proclaimed image and good girl reputation, she invites others to follow suit by shining the light of the gospel on dark, well-concealed pasts.
Read this book if you...
have never felt good enough
have always felt good enough
deal with feelings of incompetence
are tired of empty self-help tactics
need a reason to hope

"These are new Cubans. Twenty-first-century Marielitos. Balseros, as the bartender had referred to them. I know, because my mom tells me that these are the kinds of Cubans I need to stay away from." In eight captivating stories, In This World of Ultraviolet Light—winner of the 2021 Don Belton Prize—navigates tensions between Cubans, Cuban Americans, and the larger Latinx community. Though these stories span many locations—from a mulch manufacturing facility on the edge of Big Cypress National Preserve to the borderlands between Georgia and the Carolinas—they are overshadowed by an obsession with Miami as a place that exists in the popular imagination. Beyond beaches and palm trees, Raul Palma goes off the beaten path to portray everyday people clinging to their city and struggling to find cultural grounding. As Anjali Sachdeva writes, "This is fiction to steal the breath of any reader, from any background." Boldly interrogating identity, the discomfort of connection, and the entanglement of love and cruelty, In This World of Ultraviolet Light is a nuanced collection of stories that won't let you go.
Автор: Labennett Oneka Название: Sheas Mad Real: Popular Culture and West Indian Girls in Brooklyn ISBN: 0814752470 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780814752470 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 80080.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
Overwhelmingly, Black teenage girls are negatively represented in national and global popular discourses, either as being “at risk” for teenage pregnancy, obesity, or sexually transmitted diseases, or as helpless victims of inner city poverty and violence. Such popular representations are pervasive and often portray Black adolescents’ consumer and leisure culture as corruptive, uncivilized, and pathological. In She’s Mad Real, Oneka LaBennett draws on over a decade of researching teenage West Indian girls in the Flatbush and Crown Heights sections of Brooklyn to argue that Black youth are in fact strategic consumers of popular culture and through this consumption they assert far more agency in defining race, ethnicity, and gender than academic and popular discourses tend to acknowledge. Importantly, LaBennett also studies West Indian girls’ consumer and leisure culture within public spaces in order to analyze how teens like China are marginalized and policed as they attempt to carve out places for themselves within New York’s contested terrains.
