  "Lee's narration of her brilliant memoir is penetrating with insight, raw with confessions, radiant with fury. Her meticulous writing is already stupendous, but the unguarded emotions that flow through her candid voice are a remarkable enhancement. Her tears of frustration and gratitude will surely prove contagious." - Booklist (starred review)"Lee's narration is powerful. She communicates all of her anger and frustration at the racism she experiences and sees around her. She shatters the idea that Asian Americans are the 'model minority', clearly laying out her points while also imbuing her performance with intense emotions that come from living in America's racist society." - AudioFile MagazineThis program is read by the author.In the vein of Eloquent Rage and Minor Feelings—a passionate, no-holds-barred memoir about the Asian American experience in a nation defined by racial stratificationWhen Julia Lee was fifteen, her hometown went up in smoke during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. The daughter of Korean immigrant store owners in a predominantly Black neighborhood, Julia was taught to be grateful for the privilege afforded to her. However, the acquittal of four white police officers in the beating of Rodney King, following the murder of Latasha Harlins by a Korean shopkeeper, forced Julia to question her racial identity and complicity. She was neither Black nor white. So who was she?This question would follow Julia for years to come, resurfacing as she traded in her tumultuous childhood for the white upper echelon of elite academia. It was only when she began a PhD in English that she found answers—not in the Brontës or Austen, as Julia had planned, but rather in the brilliant prose of writers like James Baldwin and Toni Morrison. Their works gave Julia the vocabulary and, more important, the permission to critically examine her own tortured position as an Asian American, setting off a powerful journey of racial reckoning, atonement, and self-discovery that has shaped her adult life.With prose by turns scathing and heart-wrenching, Julia Lee lays bare the complex disorientation and shame that stems from this country’s imposed racial hierarchy to argue that Asian Americans must leverage their liminality for lasting social change alongside Black and brown communities.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

  Moving Forward - Life After Trauma

  PhD Stephanie M. Hutchins

  Your trauma did not mark the end of your life — but it did change the way you move through the world.  
  After trauma, many people are told to “just move on” without being given language, tools, or guidance for what moving forward actually looks like. Moving Forward was written to meet that gap.  
  In this book, Stephanie M. Hutchins, PhD, addresses the questions trauma survivors most often ask once the immediate crisis has passed: How do you live with what happened without being defined by it? How do you handle triggers when they arise? How do you rebuild trust — in yourself and in others? How do you move forward without bypassing the pain or forcing forgiveness?  
  Drawing from her professional background and personal healing journey, Dr. Hutchins offers practical tools and grounded insight for navigating life after trauma. Rather than promising a quick fix, this book helps you understand your responses, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and develop steadier ways of relating to your thoughts, emotions, and memories.  
  Moving Forward is for those who are no longer just surviving, but who are ready to live with greater clarity, self-trust, and choice — even while carrying a past that cannot be undone.

  The End of Ambition - America's...

  In The End of Ambition, Steven A. Cook charts the course of the United States' encounter with the Middle East from the mid-twentieth century through the present day. Looking back, Cook makes a bold claim: the US was--despite setbacks and moral costs--successful. That record of achievement began to unravel in the early 1990s when policymakers embarked upon a set of overly ambitious policies to remake the Middle East. Cook highlights that calls to withdraw from the region are rash given the important interests the US maintains in the region. Yet, he also underscores how those interests are changing and explores alternatives to America's current approach to the Middle East against the backdrop of political uncertainty in the United States and a changing global order. 
   
  A clear-headed vision for the United States' role in the Middle East that highlights the changing nature of US national interests and the challenges of grand strategizing at a time of profound change in the international order.

  How to survive and thrive from emotional abuse, set boundaries and control your relationship 
  Emotional abuse is a form of violence that does not necessarily involve physical harm, but can be similarly debilitating. 
  This abuse works by chipping away at one’s self-esteem slowly, and most of the time victims do not know that they are going through it. However, statistics state that nearly 60% of young women in the US underwent emotional abuse in a romantic relationship. 
  24% of women who went through this experience never told anyone that they were dealing with abuse. However, an overwhelming 62% told that they are able to leave an abusive relationship because someone educated them and helped them to leave their abusive domestic partnership. 
  You are undergoing emotional abuse if a person behaves in a certain pattern that would make you feel fear, obligation, or guilt. 
  The combination of these negative emotions can be dangerous to one’s mental health and they leave long-lasting effects. 
  Most of the time, perpetrators inflict harm through aggressiveness, denying your needs, and minimizing the harm that they have done. 
  It is also very important to take note that most emotionally abusive relationships lead to physical abuse.
