    Es posible que conozcas a alguien que está en una relación con alguien que es emocionalmente abusivo, o podrías estar en una relación con alguien así. O tal vez no sabe cómo reconocerlo y tiene curiosidad por saber cómo reconocer las señales. Cualquiera que sea la razón, ha venido a la dirección correcta.Dado que está en todos los medios y las historias horribles resuenan a través de nuestros oídos empáticos, es casi obligatorio que cualquier civil comprensivo en la sociedad comprenda al menos algunos conceptos básicos cuando se trata de abuso sexual. Los hechos están ahí afuera, y realmente le está sucediendo a la gente en secreto y, a veces, sin ocultar nada. En este libro, aprenderá a comprender la realidad de este triste fenómeno en la sociedad.Es posible que algunos de nosotros hayamos pasado por eso y otros lo hayan visto en los hogares de otras personas. La violencia doméstica es un problema grave. Las estadísticas no mienten, pero tampoco son completamente precisas. Revelan a las víctimas que hablan, pero no a las que callan. Si se pregunta qué implica la violencia doméstica, qué hacer y cómo reconocerla, entonces ha venido al lugar correcto.En una parte del libro, hay un estudio, con las cuestiones específicas que se relacionan con las tendencias suicidas. Salen a la luz causas y consecuencias, y se hacen comparaciones entre países, individuos y desencadenantes que llevan a una persona en estado depresivo a contemplar lo impensable.Quizás no uno severo, pero el abuso verbal ocurre todo el tiempo. Cada vez que las personas son malas entre sí, en cierto grado, están abusando de otro con sus palabras. Pueden ser extraños, compañeros de trabajo, jefes, tu cónyuge, tus padres, tu novio o novia, o tus amigos.

    A birder strolling in Central Park. A college student lounging on a university quad. Two men sitting in a coffee shop. Perfectly ordinary actions in ordinary settings—and yet, they sparked jarring and inflammatory responses that involved the police and attracted national media coverage. Why? In essence, Elijah Anderson would argue, because these were Black people existing in white spaces. 
     
     
      
    In Black in White Space, Anderson brings his immense knowledge and ethnography to bear in this timely study of the racial barriers that are still firmly entrenched in our society at every class level. He focuses in on symbolic racism, a new form of racism in America caused by the stubbornly powerful stereotype of the ghetto embedded in the white imagination, which subconsciously connects all Black people with crime and poverty regardless of their social or economic position. White people typically avoid Black space, but Black people are required to navigate the "white space" as a condition of their existence. 
     
     
      
    An unwavering truthteller in our national conversation on race, Anderson has shared intimate and sharp insights into Black life for decades. Vital and eye-opening, Black in White Space will be a must-listen for anyone hoping to understand the lived realities of Black people and the structural underpinnings of racism in America.

    The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region faces a complex landscape where economic cooperation is increasingly linked to regional stability. For decades, economic factors have influenced the foreign policy of MENA countries. However, since 2020, shared economic challenges – exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, oil market fluctuations and the global repercussions of Russia's invasion of Ukraine – have spurred initiatives for diplomatic rapprochement. The October 7 attacks and subsequent Gaza and Lebanon conflicts pose a threat to such progresses.
    Can economic partnerships serve as a basis for lasting peace in MENA region? What forms of collaboration could enhance stability in the face of persistent security challenges? What are the primary constraints and challenges that limit the potential of economic cooperation as a stabilising force in the MENA region?
