Sinopse

Disability History Overview explores the evolution of disability from a medical concern to a matter of human rights and social justice. This transformation includes analyzing how societal attitudes and medical theories have shaped the experience of disability across different eras. The book highlights the disability rights movement, showcasing the struggles and triumphs of disabled activists fighting for equality. Understanding this history is crucial for dismantling ableism and fostering a more equitable world.

 
The book examines the historical construction of disability, the impact of institutionalization, and the rise of disability rights movements. For example, large-scale institutions often subjected disabled individuals to dehumanizing conditions. The narrative progresses from pre-modern perspectives to contemporary challenges like accessibility and digital inclusion. It argues that disability is a social construct reflecting power dynamics, supported by historical documents and scholarly research. This perspective challenges traditional medical models and emphasizes social and political factors.

    Israel's Forever War - Israel...

    No war in living memory has stirred up such anger, fear and loathing as the long-running Israel–Palestine conflict, and peace in the region has never seemed further away. The 7 October 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel had far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the Middle East and for the world. As the war has expanded to take in other players in the area, the future of Israel as a regional superpower is now in doubt and the chances of all-out war between Israel and its neighbours have become much greater.
    This essential work looks at the background to the Hamas–Israel war and asks whether the international system can contain two simultaneous wars in Europe and the Levant. It examines the wars that preceded this one, the rise of Hamas and the roles Hezbollah, Iran and Syria play in the conflict. Paul Moorcraft considers the war's impact on Israeli society, the economy and the Israel Defense Forces, while also looking at how media and propaganda shape our view of the war and how the conflict affects the whole region's relationships with the west.
    Here, Moorcraft brings all perspectives together in an expert and balanced analysis, examining the potential outcomes of the war and arguing that the two-state solution should be revived. Peace has never looked more impossible – but the alternative, a forever war, is even more impossible.

    Joy Unspeakable focuses on the aspects of the Black church that point beyond particular congregational gatherings toward a mystical and communal spirituality not within the exclusive domain of any denomination. This mystical aspect of the black church is deeply implicated in the wellbeing of African American people but is not the focus of their intentional reflection. Moreover, its traditions are deeply ensconced within the historical memory of the wider society and can be found in Coltrane's riffs, Malcolm's exhortations, the social activism of the Black Lives Matter Movement and the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. The research in this book—through oral histories, church records, and written accounts—details not only ways in which contemplative experience is built into African American collective worship but also the legacy of African monasticism, a history of spiritual exemplars, and unique meditative worship practices. A groundbreaking work in its original edition, Joy Unspeakable now appears in a new, revised edition to address the effects of this contemplative tradition on activism and politics and to speak to a new generation of readers and scholars.

    Black Power and the American...

    In 1970, C. T. Vivian, a close colleague of Martin Luther King, Jr. and a member of his executive staff, sat down to take stock of the civil rights movement and the progress it had made. His assessment was that it failed, and that the blame lay in the existence of myths about America. 
     
     
     
    As prophetic today as it was fifty years ago, Vivian's voice rings out as a critique and a call to action for a society in deep need of justice and peace. 
     
     
     
    The civil rights struggle that began when Rosa Parks, a seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama, decided to sit in the front of a bus has deeply altered American society and the American conscience. Yet from several perspectives, that movement has resulted in failure. The Black struggle for independence is more of an uphill climb than ever. Why? C. T. Vivian asserts that the civil rights movement failed because it was built on certain myths about America: 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that Americans will do what is right as soon as they know what is right. 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that legislation leads to justice. 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that America is an open society where any minority group can advance. 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that an ethic of love forms the core of the American conscience.

    Along with psychological insights, the book delves into the neuroscience of success, emphasizing how neuroplasticity allows the brain to develop. Readers will acquire the skills necessary to reframe their thinking and match their behaviors with their objectives by comprehending how the processes in our brains affect motivation, learning, and effort. 
    With its wealth of real-world examples, useful tactics, and scientific research, "Mindset for Achievement" gives readers the tools they need to change their attitudes and actions in order to achieve extraordinary achievement.
