Summary

Global Asylum Routes examines the perilous journeys and varied receptions faced by LGBTQ asylum seekers fleeing persecution. This book addresses the crucial question of how effectively international mechanisms protect these vulnerable populations amidst increasing global migration. A key insight is that while international laws exist, their implementation differs significantly across countries, leading to disparities in asylum outcomes.

 
The book highlights the fact that cultural attitudes and legal interpretations in receiving countries greatly impact the success of asylum claims. The book explores two interconnected areas: the specific routes LGBTQ individuals take to escape unsafe environments and the diverse responses from countries receiving these asylum applications. It emphasizes the gaps in current protection mechanisms by focusing on government policies and societal acceptance.

 
Did you know that LGBTQ individuals have historically faced systemic discrimination and violence, compelling them to seek refuge elsewhere? This book offers context on international human rights laws, particularly the 1951 Refugee Convention, and how it's interpreted differently across nations.

 
The book's approach is to first introduce legal and sociological concepts, then to map common migration routes, and finally to examine asylum adjudication processes in various countries. Through mixed-methods research, including legal analysis and interviews, the book provides policy recommendations aimed at enhancing the protection and integration of LGBTQ asylum seekers. This exploration of political science and social science sheds light on the complex realities of global migration for LGBTQ individuals.

    Discover the Holy Passion of Gay MysticsOf the world's true mystics—seekers who achieve a direct union with God—a staggering proportion have lived and loved as gay men and women. Through their sumptuous love poetry, their daring explorations of Tantra (sacred sex), and heroic devotion to their faith—despite their estranged status within society—gay mystics have permanently altered and enriched the spiritual landscape of our time. Now scholar and bestselling author Andrew Harvey illuminates the lives and loves of these mystical outsiders on Gay Mysticism. Looking back to the dawn of Western religion, Harvey shows that, far from being rejected, homosexuals in pre-Christian cultures were seen as divine and even priestly—a mysterious fusion of masculine and feminine qualities. Drawing from many sources, Harvey uncovers the rich and long-hidden history of our most important gay mystics, including the Sufi poet Rumi, the American poet and social worker Walt Whitman, the English essayist Edward Carpenter, Plato, and others. Here is the never-before-told story of these “spiritual adventurers” and the sacred democracy they bravely explored, framed by the most ecstatic and hallucinatory love poetry the world has ever known.

    What if the most powerful technology for understanding consciousness has been growing in plants on every continent since before recorded history — and the only thing keeping you from it is a filter your brain runs by default? This book is about what happens when that filter drops. Framework-forward: 
Every previous psychedelic book documented the experience. This one explains the architecture behind it. 
Positioning against Strassman specifically: 
Strassman injected sixty volunteers and documented what happened. This book begins where his ended — with why. 
Personal authority angle: 
Written not by a clinician observing from outside, but by a consciousness researcher who went in — repeatedly — and built a theoretical model from what he found there. 
The gap in the market: 
The psychedelic renaissance has produced extraordinary clinical data and almost no philosophy capable of containing it. This book is the philosophy. 
Most provocative: 
Other books will tell you these experiences are profound. This one tells you what they are actually showing you — and why the answer changes everything. 
Most concise: 
The experience finally has a theory equal to what it shows you.

    Born in Spain and raised by a struggling single mother, Lisa Lovatt-Smith became an editor at British Vogue at nineteen, the youngest in Cond├® Nast history. She helped launch Spanish Vogue and partied across Europe with celebrities, fashion designers, photographers, and supermodels. 
By her thirties Lisa has her dream career and a glamorous life in Paris, but when her adopted daughter, Sabrina, is expelled from school, Lisa takes her to volunteer in a Ghanaian orphanage in the hope of getting her back on track. What she discovers there changes both their lives for good. 
Appalled by the deplorable conditions she finds, Lisa moves to Ghana permanently and founds OAfrica, dedicating her personal resources to reuniting hundreds of Ghanaian children with their families and spearheading a drive to shut down corrupt orphanages. On this unforgettable journey, Lisa confronts death threats, malaria, arson, and heartbreaking poverty; she also discovers truly inspiring children trapped in limbo by a moneymaking scheme bigger than she ever imagined. 
Who Knows Tomorrow is the engaging, frank, and often surprisingly funny story of one amazing woman who has traveled the globe in search of meaningful connection. Although to Lisa her story will always be about the children, it's also a touching celebration of a woman who is talented, generous, and unfailingly courageous.
