Synopsis

“Land Mines” explores the multifaceted history and impact of these weapons, examining their military utility alongside their devastating humanitarian consequences. Land mines, initially intended for territorial defense and hindering enemy advances, have become a global threat, disproportionately affecting civilian populations long after conflicts subside. The book highlights the ethical dilemmas inherent in their deployment and the ongoing international efforts, such as the Ottawa Treaty, aimed at their eradication.

 
The book meticulously traces the evolution of land mine technology and strategy, analyzing their use in major conflicts through detailed case studies. It addresses the immense challenges of post-conflict mine clearance and victim assistance, while also examining the debates around anti-personnel versus anti-tank mines. Readers gain a comprehensive understanding of how these weapons have shaped military history, politics, and humanitarian issues, underscored by the tragic statistics of casualties and socio-economic disruption.

 
Progressing chronologically, the book utilizes military archives, humanitarian reports, and legal documents to offer a nuanced perspective. It connects land mine usage to broader themes within international law, human rights, and development studies, enriching its analysis and appealing to a diverse audience.

 
The book culminates by assessing the future of landmine policy and the pursuit of a mine-free world, making it a valuable resource for policymakers and those interested in military strategy.

    Teaching to Live: Black Religion, Activist-Educators, and Radical Social Change interrogates the stories of African American activist-educators whose faith convictions inspired them to educate in radical and transformative ways. Almeda M. Wright explores the connections between religion, education, and struggles for freedom within twentieth-century African American communities by telling the stories of key African American teachers. 
     
     
     
    Wright brings together the lives and work of three related subgroups of activist-educators: those who worked in public or secular education but were religiously inspired; radical scholars who transformed the ways that Black religion and Black religious life are studied and valued; and radical religious educators, or those educators who were involved more formally with the religious formation of Black people but who regarded this work of spiritual development as part of the struggle for freedom and liberation of all people. 
     
     
     
    The rich and complex narratives of these educators show how religion, education, and radical social change can intersect. This book invites listeners to continue exploring how these concepts will evolve for future generations of activist-educators.

    In recent years, shrimpers on the Louisiana coast have faced a historically dire shrimp season, with the price of shrimp barely high enough to justify trawling. Yet, many of them wouldn't consider leaving shrimping behind, despite having transferrable skills that could land them jobs in the oil and gas industry. Since 2001, shrimpers have faced increasing challenges to their trade: an influx of shrimp from southeast Asia, several traumatic hurricane seasons, and the largest oil spill at sea in American history.
    
    In Last Stand of the Louisiana Shrimpers, author Emma Christopher Lirette traces how Louisiana Gulf Coast shrimpers negotiate land and blood, sea and freedom, and economic security and networks of control. This book explores what ties shrimpers to their boats and nets. Despite feeling trapped by finances and circumstances, they have created a world in which they have agency.
    
    Lirette provides a richly textured view of the shrimpers of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, calling upon ethnographic fieldwork, archival research, interdisciplinary scholarship, and critical theory. With evocative, lyrical prose, she argues that in persisting to trawl in places that increasingly restrict their way of life, shrimpers build fragile, quietly defiant worlds, adapting to a constantly changing environment. In these flickering worlds, shrimpers reimagine what it means to work and what it means to make a living.

    What an amazing episode! My guest Star is here to talk to us about the "heroine's journey". The heroine's journey came about in 1990 when Maureen Murdock, a psychologist published a book called The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness. 
    My guest Star is here to talk to us about Heroine's Journey and we are discussing the heroine's journey in Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables and Jo's heroine's journey in Little Women. I was told that Gilbert's proposal to Anne in the 80s AOGG is almost exactly the same as Laurie's proposal to Jo in 1933 Little Women. Of course, I had to check if this was true and I have recorded these two proposals and mine and Star's reactions. It is an interesting detail and I think it might be one of the reasons why so many people somehow link Anne and Gil and Jo and Laurie together. Oh Hollywood what do you do to us?
