Описание: Today, diverse women of all hues represent this country overseas. Some have called this development the “Hillary Effect.” But well before our most recent female secretary of state there was Madeleine Albright, the first woman to serve in that capacity, and later Condoleezza Rice. Beginning at a more junior post in the Department of State in 1971, there was “the little Elam girl” from Boston.Diversifying Diplomacy tells the story of Harriet Lee Elam-Thomas, a young black woman who beat the odds and challenged the status quo. Inspired by the strong women in her life, she followed in the footsteps of the few women who had gone before her in her effort to make the Foreign Service reflect the diverse faces of the United States. The youngest child of parents who left the segregated Old South to raise their family in Massachusetts, Elam-Thomas distinguished herself with a diplomatic career at a time when few colleagues looked like her. Elam-Thomas’s memoir is a firsthand account of her decades-long career in the U.S. Department of State’s Foreign Service, recounting her experiences of making U.S. foreign policy, culture, and values understood abroad. Elam-Thomas served as a United States ambassador to Senegal (2000–2002) and retired with the rank of career minister after forty-two years as a diplomat. Diversifying Diplomacy presents the journey of this successful woman, who not only found herself confronted by some of the world’s heftier problems but also helped ensure that new shepherds of honesty and authenticity would follow in her international footsteps for generations to come.

Описание: Young people in East Asia are increasingly experiencing a prolonged transition to adulthood. They are spending longer in school, entering the labour market later, and getting married later still.
This protracted young adulthood interacts with forces of both tradition and modernization, as social and economic changes generate profound effects on the transition from school to work, on family formation, on personal relationships, and on subjective well-being.
Journey to Adulthood explores the special characteristics of young adulthood in East Asia. It uses Taiwan as illustrative example, with comparative findings from its East Asian neighbours Japan, Korea and Hong Kong.
It describes the particular growth context of a millennial generation, and the challenges they face as they attempt to balance family formation, personal development and entry into a market economy.
Edited by Chin-Chun Yi and Ming-Chang Tsai, this collection helps us to understand the structural configurations East Asian young adults collectively represent. Taking a cross-cultural and comparative perspective, it enables meaningful policy suggestions on family dynamics, educational strategy, and health and well-being across the globe.
Dr Chin-Chun Yi and Dr Ming-Chang Tsai both work within the Institute of Sociology, Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taiwan

Offers thought-provoking theories and life-transforming ways to deal with pain What can we ask of pain? How can we be more creative and courageous in carrying pain in our lives? In this genre-bending work that is equal parts memoir and scholarly criticism, L. Ayu Saraswati provides thought-provoking theories and life-transforming ways to understand pain, specifically in relation to feminism. Arguing that pain is not merely a state we are in, Scarred reframes pain as a “transnational feminist object,” something that we can carry across international borders. Drawing on her own experience traveling across twenty countries within just over a year, Saraswati aims to bring readers along on her journey so that they might ask themselves, “How can I live with pain differently?” By using pain as a lens of feminist analysis, Scarred allows us to chart how power produces and operates through pain, and how pain is embodied and embedded in relationships. Saraswati provides a heartfelt and engaging recount of her experiences while also pushing the boundaries of the respective fields her story engages with. She allows for renewed academic and personal insights to blossom by using a blend of transnational feminist theory, travel studies, and pain studies. Ultimately, Scarred invites us to reframe pain and ask how might we carry it in a more humane, life-sustaining, enchanting, and feminist way.

Автор: Ramirez Marilu Название: Travels with Marilu...a Spiritual Journey ISBN: 1098394127 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781098394127 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 36790.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Foreword by Lori Marie Carlson Marilu Ramirez, a retired educator who spent decades instructing bilingual children in the New York City public school system, is also an accomplished photographer. Not surprising are her eagle eye and compassionate personality; after all a dedicated teacher sees her charges in ways that are uniquely sensitive and visceral-- forever trying to reach her students to encourage growth and transformation. These same attributes are evident in Ramirezs craft, as she shares the heart and soul of her artistry with others to evoke epiphanies. Ramirez has deep roots in two cities: San Juan, Puerto Rico and New York City. And, yet, she is better understood as a wanderer, a veritable citizen of the world. Her passion is travel. She is never happier than when roaming the byways, country lanes, urban avenues, seascapes, and archaeological sites of terrains ranging from the rice paddies of Vietnam to the crowded plazas of Spain to Jordans ancient heritage sites. In this book of photographs taken over the course of many years in 33 countries, she addresses the magic and intention of human activity as well as the sublime majesty of nature. Intense color (fuchsia, verdigris, turquoise, chartreuse), yin-yang energy, surprising confluences of human interaction with happenstance: these are the hallmarks of her imagery. One senses immense joy in her photographs. There is a hallelujah in each frame. A meditation of thanksgiving. Many of Ramirezs images orient the viewer upward, toward an imaginary apex of sorts. Umbrellas hanging high above a thoroughfare; a temples vaulted ceiling; doves in aerial formation; celestial mountain peaks. Its as if she is leading us away from a reality that meets us at stature level to a more exalted understanding of where we really are in the universe: a realm whose treasures must be summoned in dreams as much as unveiled in our everyday routine.

Men are taught to live a story. But the story is a lie.
Because you're a man, you're always the main character. You're physically tough. Stoic and strong. You never cry. You're smart, athletic, and financially successful. You're dominant, in control, and independent. All. The. Time.
Now, what if you could CHANGE that story?
Shu Matsuo Post is a successful businessman in Japan, one of the most gender-rigid nations on the planet. When he got married and chose to take his wife's name, the opposition he encountered gave him an unexpected glimpse into a woman's world.
It also gave him a taste of vulnerability, emotional connection, and the freedom he had been craving all his life.
Flowing seamlessly between his own journey, his wife's journey, and their journey together as they struggled to break the bonds of gender limitations, I Took Her Name is a powerful roadmap for defying expectations and becoming your authentic self.
Step out of the old story, embrace your full potential, and claim the unlimited freedom of an unscripted life.
