Usme, one of the peripheral districts surrounding Bogot?, Colombia, is one of the poorest, most populous, and most marginalized outer districts of the city, with a high concentration of indigenous occupants. Over eighty percent of Usme’s women have experienced partner violence or some kind of partner-controlling behavior. How does one go about understanding the perpetration of partner violence? Based on ethnographic work with survivors, responders, and most of all the perpetrators of this kind of abuse, scholar John I.B. Bhadra-Heintz explores this issue in A Tyranny Against Itself. Throughout this study, Bhadra-Heintz examines how this violence is made possible, how it is positioned to be permissible socially, and what is at stake for those who are involved. This violence is examined as a question of sovereignty on the intimate scale. Not the product of a particular cultural pathology, a phenomenon that can otherwise be otherized, this book seeks instead to find the lines of connection, and contradiction, that tie these intimate acts of violence into broader regimes of power. In a community so profoundly shaped by centuries of political conflict, only through this kind of approach can new apertures for engagement be found. Through them, this book outlines new vulnerabilities in this form of abuse, and along the way imagines new ways of escaping from these everyday acts of intimate terror and the broader systems of violence in which they are involved.

Описание: This Workbook is the companion volume to Conscious Parenting by Lee Lozowick (Hohm Press, 2010) and is designed to be a useful map for parents, prospective parents and child-care-givers on this adventure. The Workbook (like Conscious Parenting itself) aims to assist readers in aligning with a big view of the subjectan overall context from which to parent and educate. Uniquely, Lozowicks work spoke to the ways and means for transforming ordinary family life with children into a primary means of spiritual practice, including the inevitable challenges for work-on-self. The Workbook follows the chapter-topics contained in the original book, covering subjects from enlightened birth practices, breastfeeding, our use of language with children, the limiting of early exposure to technology and negative influences for youngsters, to the creation of environments of safety and sanctuary for our teenagers. The contributors to this Workbook headed by Bhadra Mitchell, project manager and primary editorare all longtime students of Lee Lozowick. Some are parents, others grandparents, others friends of community families, some are mentors for children. Beneficially, each of them received Lee Lozowicks teaching firsthand.
Автор: Bhadra Sangeeta Название: The Nut That Fell from the Tree ISBN: 1525301195 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781525301193 Издательство: Hachette Book Group Рейтинг: Цена: 14950.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: A playful, lively story about one acorn's difficult path to becoming a tree.
This is the house where Jill plays. This is the oak that holds the house where Jill plays. This is the nut that fell from the oak that holds the house where Jill plays . . .
In the style of ?The House That Jack Built, ? here's a cumulative, rhyming tale that follows an acorn on an arduous journey, as one animal after another steals it, drops it or tosses it, sending the acorn inside an old shoe, high above the trees and down to the bottom of a stream. But in the end, the rat, goose, bear and more turn out to simply be the conduits that help the acorn eventually land on a hillside, where the warm sun helps it grow into another grand oak tree, which now holds the house where Jack (Jill's grandson) plays.
In this lively story, Sangeeta Bhadra offers a playful depiction of the circle of life. The jaunty rhythm of the text (?This is the raccoon, a sneak through and through / that tricked the goose with a bird's-eye view . . .?) and the use of fun-to-say words --- like, ?hullabaloooo? and ?pee-ew? --- make for a picture book that begs to be read aloud. France Cormier's richly colored illustrations add energy and continuity to the story, as the perspective zooms in and out and dotted lines follow the acorn's path. This book could easily spark discussions about plant life cycles, animal habitats and food chains.

The Climate Crisis is the most urgent part of a wider and deeper global environmental disaster. It is an existential threat to humanity. But it's not an isolated crisis: it must be seen as the most prominent symptom of a systemic failure of major systems in the US - of politics and economics, of information and education about history, energy, and science, even society and psychology. And despite slowly rising awareness, we are doing next to nothing about it, as we face a crucial tipping point, the triggering of an irreversible spiral of global heating.
The problem is illuminated in a broad and comprehensive yet readable manner. It's based on the idea that we have to notice and observe, then connect a lot of dots, in order to see and recognize the larger pattern.
The crisis results from our abuse of fossil-fueled power, combined with those other failures. So it will help to observe the role of Power, in all its forms, in our lives. This crisis represents what one think tank calls "a conceptual emergency." It says the world we have created is so complex and fast-moving that it defies our ability to understand or control it. So, the author argues, we need a widespread shift in consciousness, a political/economic revolution, and a coordinated global effort, if we are to leave our children with a remotely inhabitable Earth.
The entire human family needs to fundamentally change our thinking to imagine the simple, radical but feasible solution that is still possible - a combined political and economic revolution, in a race against time.
