Sinopse

World Laughter explores the multifaceted world of humor, revealing its profound cultural and social significance. Moving beyond simple entertainment, the book investigates how humor is used in various societies for storytelling, traditions, and social cohesion. It examines both the universality and specificity of humor, noting how certain comedic archetypes resonate globally, while cultural values distinctly shape what is considered funny in different regions. 

 
The book takes a historical and social science approach, drawing from anthropology, sociology, and historical records to provide a comprehensive view of laughter's cultural impact. It explores the evolution of humor as a tool for social commentary, resistance, and reconciliation. Case studies analyze diverse comedic traditions, such as the role of trickster figures in indigenous storytelling and the use of satire in political discourse. 

 
Readers gain an understanding of how humor reflects and shapes cultural identity, power dynamics, and social change, while also noting the controversies of cultural appropriation and perpetuation of stereotypes. Beginning with theoretical frameworks, the book progresses through detailed case studies and culminates in a discussion of globalization's influence on humor. World Laughter offers valuable insights into cross-cultural communication and the universality of humor, making it a useful guide for understanding diverse perspectives and bridging cultural divides.

    "A superior volume on Christian antiracism."--Publishers Weekly 
     
    Racism is omnipresent in American life, both public and private. We are immersed in what prominent faith leader Willie Dwayne Francois III calls white noise--the racist speech, ideas, and policies that lull us into inaction on racial justice. White noise masks racial realities and prevents constructive responses to microaggressions, structural inequality, and overt interpersonal racism. 
     
    In this book, Francois calls people of all racial backgrounds to take up practices that overcome silence and inaction on race and that advance racial repair. Drawing from his anti-racism curriculum, the Public Love Organizing and Training (PLOT) Project, Francois encourages us to move from a "colorblind" stance of mythic innocence to one that takes an honest account of our national history and acknowledges our complicity in racism as a prelude to anti-racist interventions. 
     
    Weaving together personal narrative, theology, and history, this book invites us to engage 6 "rhythms of reparative intercession." These are six practices of anti-racism that aim to repair harm by speaking up and "acting up" on behalf of others. Silencing White Noise offers concrete ways to help people wrest free from the dangers of racism and to develop lifelong Christian anti-racist practices.

    We are all patient with beginners, extending compassionate grace to anyone learning a new skill. But what about the woman just beginning her marriage journey? What about the woman, ten years in, who still wishes she had a marriage manual to help make sense of challenges she never anticipated?  
    Discover a fresh marriage manual that offers practical wisdom illustrated through the author’s personal stories and experiences over the course of her four decade marriage. Each chapter is uniquely devoted to one of the critical characteristics the author deems essential to a happy marriage. Whether 12 weeks or 12 years in, this book extends understanding and hope to those still learning the ins and outs of marriage: those whom the author calls–beginner wives. 
    From the Introduction: 
    “I’ll let you in on a little secret: Other women don’t have perfect husbands; they’ve simply learned how to enjoy the husbands they have! In this book I share what worked for me, where I missed the mark (so you don’t have to), and how establishing and sharing a core set of values with my husband not only influenced my early years of becoming a wife, but also how I balanced that role with being a mother of six children. I’ve devoted each chapter to the critical characteristics that I’ve found to be essential to a happy marriage. And the best part is that each of these characteristics is available to you if you’re willing to do the work. 
    "If you’re a woman who wants to prepare for a marriage she doesn’t have yet, and then carry the honeymoon phase through to the very end, this book is for you. If you’re a woman looking to thrive in your marriage, and gain the tools to consistently support and elevate each other through all of life’s seasons, this book is for you. If you're a woman who wants to be intentional about actually enjoying — not resenting — your husband and your marriage, then this book is for you. Welcome!”
