Black Ghost of Empire: The Long Death of Slavery and the Failure of Emancipation Manjapra Kris

If the 1619 Project illuminated the ways in which life in the United States has been shaped by the existence of slavery, this "historical, literary masterpiece" (Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy) focuses on emancipation and how its afterlife further codified the racial caste system--instead of obliterating it.To understand why the shadow of slavery still haunts us today, we must look closely at the way it ended. Between the 1770s and 1880s, emancipation processes took off across the Atlantic world. But far from ushering in a new age of human rights and universal freedoms, these emancipations further codified the racial caste systems they claimed to disrupt.In this paradigm-altering book, acclaimed historian and professor Kris Manjapra identifies five types of emancipations across the globe and reveals that their perceived failures were not failures at all, but the

Right Where I Left You Winters Julian

"Smart, swoony, and pitch-perfect, Right Where I Left You is ideal for every reader who s just as likely to geek out over a new issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El as they are the quintessential meet-cute. LEAH JOHNSON, bestselling author of You Should See Me in a Crown and Rise to the SunSchool s out, senior year is over, and Isaac Martin is ready to kick off summer. His last before heading off to college in the fall where he won't have his best friend, Diego. Where despite his social anxiety he ll be left to make friends on his own. Knowing his time with Diego is limited, Isaac enacts a foolproof plan: snatch up a pair of badges for the epic comic convention, Legends Con, and attend his first ever Teen Pride. Just him and Diego. The way it should be. But when an unexpected run-in with Davi Isaac s old crush distracts him the day tickets go on sale, suddenly he s two badges short of a perfect summer. Even worse, now he s left making it up to Diego by hanging with him and his gamer buddies. Decidedly NOT part of the original plan. It s not all bad, though. Some of Diego s friends turn out to be pretty cool, and when things with Davi start heating up, Isaac is almost able to forget about his Legends Con blunder. Almost. Because then Diego finds out what really happened that day with Davi, and their friendship lands on thin ice. Isaac assumes he s upset about missing the convention, but could Diego have other reasons for avoiding Isaac?

Robert Rauschenberg: Thirty-Four Illustrations for Dante's Inferno Rauschenberg Robert

Rauschenberg's inventive contemporaneous interpretation of Dante's InfernoBetween 1958 and 1960, Robert Rauschenberg produced a series of 34 drawings, one for each Canto, or section, of Dante's poem The Inferno (1308-1321). Together they are a virtual encyclopedia of modern-day imagery, made by transferring photographic reproductions from magazines or newspapers onto the drawing surface. "I think a picture is more like the real world when it's made out of the real world," Rauschenberg said. With additional imagery in pencil, crayon, pastel and collage, the drawings reflect Rauschenberg's desire to infiltrate his art with the scenes and sounds of the surrounding world, a radical departure from the more transcendent ambitions of Abstract Expressionism.Published in conjunction with the first major retrospective on Rauschenberg's career since

The never-before-told story of the friendship between Martin Luther King Jr. and Thich Nhat Hanh--icons who changed each other and the worldThe day after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968, Thich Nhat Hanh wrote a heartbroken letter to their mutual friend Raphael Gould.

They killed him. They killed my hope. I do not know what to say. . . . He made so great an impression in me. This morning I have the impression that I cannot bear the loss."Only a few years earlier, Thich Nhat Hanh wrote an open letter to Martin Luther King Jr. as part of his effort to raise awareness and bring peace in Vietnam.

Heart. Soul. Mind. Strength.: A Narrative History of Intervarsity Press, 1947-2022 Le Peau Andrew T.

Some publishers tell you what to believe. Other publishers tell you what you already believe. But InterVarsity Press helps you believe.J. I.

Sire, evangelist Rebecca Manley Pippert and spiritual formation writer Eugene Peterson helped generations of readers to think more biblically and engage the world around them. For many who take their Christianity seriously, books that equip them for a life of faith have frequently come from one influential publisher: InterVarsity Press.Andy Le Peau and Linda Doll provide a narrative history of InterVarsity Press, from its origins as the literature division of a campus ministry to its place as a

Choosing God Whitfield Charles L.

Choosing God: A Birds Eye View of A Course in Miracles by Charles L Whitfield, MD While summarizing the main messages of A Course in Miracles with remarkable clarity, in this new book Charles Whitfield goes well beyond the other books on the Course. Here the best-selling author of Healing the Child Within and nine other self-help and recovery oriented books, draws upon his vast clinical experience assisting people with addictions, "mental illnesses," and other problems in living.

Dr. Whitfield writes, "A Course in Miracles is the most spiritually exciting book I have ever read. I have found no other spiritual writing as intellectually stimulating yet so practical in our relationships with ourself, others and God. "Do you

Toxická pozitivita - Whitney Goodman

Zostaňte sami sebou vo svete posadnutom pozitívnym myslenímVedeli ste, že aj pozitivita a dobre mienená rada môžu ublížiť?Všetci sme to zažili – smutnú udalosť. Keď sa cítime zraniteľní, nepochopení alebo sa nám stala krivda, spoliehame sa na pomoc, lásku a podporu od našich najbližších. Ibaže aj dobre mienená rada či slová útechy môžu za istých podmienok vyvolať skôr opačný efekt – cítime sa po nich ešte horšie.Prečo sa to deje? Ako dokážeme rozpoznať toxickú pozitivitu a brániť sa jej?Toxická pozitivita nás nabáda k tomu, aby sme ignorovali zlé pocity, znevažuje ťažkosti, ktorými si prechádzame, a predostiera nám obraz šťastného konca bez akýchkoľvek logických základov. Niektoré povzbudenia a rady môžu znieť pozitívne, no v skutočnosti v nás iba vyvolajú hanbu za to, že sa nedokážeme nad nepríjemné či smutné udalosti povzniesť. Máme právo byť nešťastní. Máme právo precítiť svoj žiaľ, ak sme prišli o blízkeho človeka, o vzťah či o zamestnanie a máme právo nevnímať niektoré udalosti ako príležitosti na niečo nové, skvelé.Toxické frázy, s ktorými ste sa stretli už viackrát v živote:Sú aj horšie vzťahy. Buď vďačný/vďačná za to, čo pre teba robí.Boh ti na plecia naloží iba toľko, koľko unesieš.Ľudia v Afrike majú celkom iné problémy ako ty.Každé dieťa je dar.Máš toho toľko, za čo by si mala byť vďačná a šťastná. Zameraj sa na to.Vieš, koľko ľudí na svete by chcelo byť v tvojej koži?Len počkaj. Ešte budeš chcieť, aby sa tieto časy vrátili.Koľkokrát ste už tieto vety počuli? A koľkokrát ste ich použili vy sami? Whitney Goodman, psychoterapeutka a odborníčka na problematiku toxickej pozitivity, vo svojej knihe uvádza množstvo vhodnejších alternatív na to, čo povedať namiesto týchto zaužívaných toxických fráz. Zistite, ako by ste skutočne mohli pomôcť svojim blízkym, keď prežívajú ťažké chvíle. Keď si uvedomíte, ako toxická pozitivita funguje, a budete ju vedieť rozoznať, môžete sa smelo pustiť do boja proti nej.Z anglického originálu Toxic Positivity vydaného vo vydavateľstve ?TarcherPerigee preložila Miroslava Molnárová.
