Ida B. Wells-Barnett

Beschreibung

In "The Red Record," Ida B. Wells-Barnett meticulously compiles a harrowing chronicle of lynching in America, utilizing an amalgamation of statistical data, personal accounts, and passionate prose. This seminal work, published in 1895, serves not only as a historical documentation but also as a fervent call to action against racial violence. Wells-Barnett employs a clear, persuasive literary style, deftly navigating the complexities of racial injustice while shedding light on the life stories often overlooked by mainstream narratives. The book emerges from the tumultuous context of post-Reconstruction America, where systemic racism and mob violence pervaded society, challenging readers to confront uncomfortable truths about their nation's legacy. Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a pioneering African American journalist, educator, and activist whose own experiences with racial violence deeply informed her work. Born into slavery in 1862, her lifelong commitment to civil rights and social justice was fueled by both her personal indignations and her relentless pursuit of truth.

The body as a machine - The...

Nicolás Fuster Sanchez

The book "The body as a machine" explores the historical process of medicalisation in Chilean society, mainly focusing on the labour force. It highlights the transformation of medicine from a private sphere concerned with individual care to a social phenomenon encompassing various collective dimensions. The book argues that the rise of the liberal oligarchic state, rural-urban migration, and the emergence of a professional medical elite contributed to the socialisation of medicine in Chile. This process involved the standardisation and regulation of the population through medical interventions and establishing a comprehensive healthcare system.

American Presidents: Behind the...

One Day University

Learn from four remarkable professors in a set of One Day University presentations on the great American Presidents. The framers of the Constitution were in uncharted territory when they created the office of the presidency. No one at that time had a clear vision of what the president of a national republic would do, and only the vaguest notion existed when George Washington took the oath in 1789. For nearly 250 years, our elected Presidents have played a role in shaping what the office has become. Thomas Jefferson described the presidency as a “splendid misery,” John Quincy Adams felt it was “harassing,” and Warren Harding said simply “It’s hell!" And yet somehow some of our most notable Presidents left office with remarkable accomplishments.

Key to the City - How Zoning...

Sara C. Bronin

In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. 
 
 
 
With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.

Marginalized Couples in Therapy...

Akilah Riley-Richardson, Dr....

BIPOC and LGBTQI relationships have unique needs because minority stress, racialized trauma, and transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia can compromise one's ability to feel safe enough to connect to the world and others. Yet, all too often, marginalized couples are let down by conventional therapeutic models which were designed for white, cisgendered, heterosexual clients. 
 
This book puts forth an innovative therapeutic approach specifically designed for working with the impact of systemic oppression in couples therapy. Divided into three parts, therapists will explore systemic trauma, discover ways to build transformative therapeutic postures via the BIOME and PRIDE models, and make use of actionable methods to support clients. By practicing critical consciousness, prioritizing the lived experiences of clients, and moving delicately through the imbalance of power inherent in the therapeutic relationship, clinicians will gain a better understanding of their clients' intimate relationship experiences, and how best to serve them. 
 
Practitioners are invited to become active agents of change, making this not only a practical guide but also a call to action for fostering a more just and equitable world in which intimacy flourishes for all.
