Sinopse

Housing Stability Indicators explores the critical issue of housing inequality, specifically focusing on the disproportionate rates of housing instability and homelessness experienced by LGBTQ individuals. It argues that systemic discrimination, embedded within housing policies and practices, is a primary driver of these disparities, rather than individual circumstances. The book highlights the intersectionality of identities, recognizing that race, class, and other factors compound housing challenges for LGBTQ individuals. Understanding the historical context of discriminatory housing practices, including those once legal, is essential to grasp the present-day obstacles. The book presents its findings through a multi-faceted approach, combining quantitative data from national surveys with qualitative insights from interviews and focus groups. It examines barriers to accessing shelter, such as discrimination from service providers and a lack of affirming spaces. Ultimately, the book proposes evidence-based policy recommendations aimed at promoting equity and inclusion, offering practical insights for policymakers, housing advocates, and social workers. 

 
The book progresses across three sections, first establishing a framework for understanding LGBTQ identities and disparities, then examining specific barriers to accessing shelter, and finally analyzing current housing policies and suggesting strategies for change. It connects to fields such as urban sociology, public policy, and LGBTQ studies, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of housing inequality and the urgent need for inclusive housing policy.

From Wealth to Power - The...

Fareed Zakaria

"Beautifully conceived; dazzlingly executed . . . The book casts a bright light on the past and the future―and the future of international politics." —Kenneth N. Waltz, Institute of War and Peace Studies, Columbia UniversityIn From Wealth to Power, New York Times-bestselling author Fareed Zakaria examines the most puzzling case of a rising power in modern history—that of the United States.If rich nations routinely become great powers, Zakaria asks, then how do we explain the strange inactivity of the United States in the late nineteenth century? By 1885, the U.S. was the richest country in the world. And yet, by all military, political, and diplomatic measures, it was a minor power. To explain this discrepancy, Zakaria considers a wide variety of cases between 1865 and 1908 when the U.S. considered expanding its influence in such diverse places as Canada, the Dominican Republic, and Iceland. Consistent with the realist theory of international relations, he argues that the President and his administration tried to increase the country's political influence abroad when they saw an increase in the nation's relative economic power. But they frequently had to curtail their plans for expansion, he shows, because they lacked a strong central government that could harness that economic power for the purposes of foreign policy. America was an unusual power--a strong nation with a weak state. It was not until late in the century, when power shifted from states to the federal government and from the legislative to the executive branch, that leaders in Washington could mobilize the nation's resources for international influence.Zakaria's exploration of this tension between national power and state structure will change how we view the emergence of new powers and deepen our understanding of America's exceptional history.

Agency - The Four Point Plan...

Ian V. Rowe

Every child deserves to know that a path to a successful life exists and that they have the power to follow it. But many never set foot on that path because they grow up hearing the message that systemic forces control their destinies, or that they are at fault for everything that has gone wrong in their lives. 
 
 
 
Yet this phenomenon is not universal. Some children thrive where others do not. Why? Are there personal behaviors and institutional supports that have proven to make a difference? Agency answers with a loud and clear "yes!" 
 
 
 
This book describes four pillars that can uplift every young person: family, religion, education, and entrepreneurship. These pillars embody the meaning of freedom, wherein people are motivated to build healthy social structures and shape the outcomes of their lives. 
 
 
 
For that reason, Ian Rowe calls the four pillars the FREE framework. With this framework, children are empowered to develop agency. 
 
 
 
In addition to making the case for agency, Rowe shares his personal story coming from an immigrant family. He champions a game plan for creating new agents of agency, promoting the spirit of America's children and showing them the path that will set them FREE.
