Your Eyes Will Be My Window reclaims the two erasures of Esta Plat. Murdered in Ukraine by Nazi troops in 1942, evidence of the life of Esta Plat was preserved in a bundle of her letters until the letters were tossed into a dumpster and destroyed. Haunted by the inheritance of survivor's guilt and shame in a family that kept no Old World keepsakes except her grandmother's one-sentence memory of Esta Plat, Jodi Varonis compelled to sift through records of Europe's genocidal past. Pitting grandiose Holocaust memorials against the act of bearing witness, Varon confronts the limitations of history, folklore, archival data, and survivor testimonies. Seeking solace in ritual, she challenges her upbringing as an outlier Jew in the Rocky Mountain West to provide a window to the meaning of cultural displacement in immigrant communities. When an ethnic German woman's corpse was discarded across from Varon's rented flat in Baden-Württemberg, the homemade memorial for Nadine E. prompts a meditation on violence against women and girls as a weapon of suppression and war. The record of unfiltered emotions among Kindertransport survivors in Europe, journalists in Ludwigsburg, and archivists and guides in Jerusalem, Your Eyes Will Be My Window is a defiant exercise in honoring the lost.Voir livre
Control tactics are strategies used by individuals, groups, or institutions to influence, manipulate, or dominate others. These methods can range from subtle psychological techniques to overt coercion, all designed to limit personal autonomy and shape behavior. Control can be exercised in personal relationships, workplaces, social groups, and even on a larger societal scale. Understanding how control tactics function is the first step in recognizing and resisting them. At their core, control tactics exploit psychological and emotional vulnerabilities. Some individuals use them for personal gain, while others employ them to maintain power or enforce conformity. Whether intentional or not, these strategies often create imbalances in relationships, where one party holds undue influence over another. This can be seen in toxic relationships, authoritarian leadership, cult-like environments, and even marketing and political campaigns. One of the most common control tactics is emotional manipulation. This includes guilt-tripping, gaslighting, and playing on insecurities to create dependency. By distorting reality or fostering self-doubt, manipulators can make individuals question their own perceptions, leading them to rely more heavily on the controlling figure. Over time, this erodes confidence and makes it harder for the individual to challenge the control being exerted.Voir livre
As society shifts its perspective on allyship—moving from being "not racist" to "anti-racist"—White allies are being called upon to work toward changing the status quo. However, the vast majority of resources on this topic emphasize educating allies about anti-racism without teaching them how to do anti-racism work. This leaves well-meaning allies feeling stuck, frustrated, and afraid of getting it wrong. Beyond Fragility fills this gap by providing a step-by-step approach to effective anti-racism allyship. This book provides you with the skills to: ● Understand and avoid common mishaps in anti-racist work, such as misunderstanding racism, not knowing how to recognize racism, or not having a clear anti-racist identity ● Cope with emotions like guilt, fear, hopelessness, and anger that may arise when discussing racism and privilege ● Navigate interpersonal interactions, whether it's validating experiences of BIPOC peers, recovering from a racist misstep, or speaking out against racist comments Anti-racist allyship is not an innate essence. But with this book, you can learn skills that allow you to engage in impactful and sustainable allyship in every space you occupy.Voir livre
