Summary

“Erotic Constraints” explores why societies across the globe heavily police and regulate erotic content, going beyond simple moral arguments to examine the institutional and structural factors at play. The book argues that these constraints are significantly shaped by power dynamics seeking to control narratives around sexuality, gender, and the body. Did you know that economic limitations imposed on the erotic entertainment industry can reinforce cultural biases? Or that laws can stifle economic innovation in this sector? The book investigates this complex web of constraints across three interconnected areas: the legal frameworks, the economic forces, and the socio-cultural norms. It progresses from introducing core concepts to analyzing the legal and political landscape, then delves into economic factors and socio-cultural norms, presenting evidence from legal case studies, economic data, and sociological research. This approach allows the book to challenge simplistic explanations of erotic censorship, offering a nuanced understanding of its root causes and far-reaching consequences for freedom of expression and gender equality.

  • My Child is Trans Now What? - A Joy-Centered Approach to Support - cover

    My Child is Trans Now What? - A...

    A powerful book for readers aiming to support trans youth that Booklist calls a “warm and generous book [that] will help a wide range of readers” and Publishers Weekly says is “a pragmatic program for parenting beyond the gender binary.” 
    As a full-time public speaker specializing in spreading awareness and understanding of the transgender community, what Ben V. Greene hears most from parents and loved ones is the phrase “I'm sorry.” They're sorry for using the wrong word, sorry for asking an offensive question, sorry for not knowing this already, sorry for asking a question at all. The combination of exhaustion from trans people who have become their community's designated educator and the growing trend of “canceling” anyone who says anything wrong has created a culture where people who have good hearts and minimal access to information are so afraid to make a mistake they don't even try. 
    In My Child is Trans, Now What?, Greene breaks the mold by offering a judgement-free guide to people across generations who want to support their trans youth but aren't sure of the best way to do so. Greene focuses on providing two key resources in this book: information and emotional support. He details what families can expect, what systems exist to support trans youth, and what loved ones can do to help. Using a combination of personal stories and experiences, key definitions, clarifications, and additional resources, My Child is Trans, Now What? is an essential guide for anyone looking to help trans youth thrive.

Sikhs were targeted in many other parts of India in the same way. The book series "Sikh Nasalkushi da Khura Khoj" is the first of its kind. It deeply studies and explains what happened to Sikhs in different states. The first part of the book talks about events in six states: Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu. Part 2 of the book continues this research and gives details about what happened in five more states: Manipur, Bihar, Assam, West Bengal, and Jharkhand. You can order it from Sikh Siyasat and get it delivered anywhere in the world.

    The Art Of War - The Classic...

    Lionel Giles, Sun Tzu

    There are many versions of this work in English, and it is included as a useful reflection once one has pondered Daoism’s key texts. The title is properly ‘'Sun Tzu's Military Method'. It was written at the time of the Dao and Zhuang Zi, several centuries before the Lieh Tzu. For fifteen hundred years, it was part of China’s canonical strategic anthology, which became known as the Seven Military Classics.In modern Anglophone culture it is often the only strategic text someone has read, supplanting and exceeding the previous dominant strategic text (von Clausewitz’s On War, 1832, tr. 1874). Leaders from Mao Zedong and Takeda Shingen to Võ Nguyên Giáp and Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. have explicitly acknowledged the book’s influence on them. This translation is notably the second major version of it in English. It follows a translation by Everard Ferguson Calthrop that Giles found deeply contemptible, as one can see from the introduction. It is important to note that most scholars do not consider the Art of War one of the classic Daoist texts. While it is a product and application of the philosophy, it is more of an exegetical monograph than a consideration of the philosophical underpinnings of Daoism. Much like the Zhuang Zi, it takes the core ideas and realizes them in specific practical situations. It does so with such certainty that many contest it as a ‘true’ Daoist work. As you will see from the discussions embedded elsewhere, the key Daoist texts value contradiction and paradox far too much to be as procedurally simple as the Art of War is.It is not clear that this criticism is fair, however. A much kinder perspective is that Daoism’s great failure is in its apparent lack of any utilitarian or social value. While Confucianism provides a balance, Sun Tzu’s work attempts to build a more practical version of Daoism than the key texts allow for.
