Sinossi

In a world grappling with persistent inequalities, "Nexus of Oppression: Unveiling the Interwoven Histories of Race, Class, and Gender" offers a profound exploration of the intricate web of discrimination and marginalization that shapes our societies. Drawing upon cutting-edge research and real-world examples, this book delves into the historical, social, and cultural factors that perpetuate oppression, shedding light on the unique challenges faced by individuals who occupy multiple marginalized identities.

At the heart of this analysis lies the concept of intersectionality, a framework that recognizes the interconnected nature of race, class, and gender. Through the lens of intersectionality, the book examines the distinct experiences of women of color, working-class individuals, and LGBTQ+ communities, revealing the ways in which these identities intersect to create unique forms of oppression. It exposes the systemic barriers that hinder marginalized groups from accessing opportunity and justice, perpetuating cycles of poverty, violence, and discrimination.

Furthermore, the book traces the historical roots of oppression, uncovering its evolution from the legacies of colonialism and imperialism to the current manifestations of capitalism and neoliberalism. By understanding the historical context of oppression, we can better grasp its contemporary forms and work towards dismantling them.

The book also explores the impact of intersectionality on various aspects of life, including education, employment, the criminal justice system, healthcare, and environmental justice. It highlights the disparities faced by marginalized groups in these arenas and exposes the systemic barriers that hinder their access to opportunity and justice. By bringing these issues to light, the book aims to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by marginalized communities and inspire action towards creating a more just and equitable society.

With its rigorous analysis and compelling storytelling, "Nexus of Oppression" empowers readers to become agents of change, working towards a future where equality and justice prevail. Drawing upon a diverse range of voices, including scholars, activists, and community leaders, the book provides a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of intersectionality and its implications for social justice. It is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand and address the complex challenges of our time.

    Best-selling author Michael Shermer presents an overarching theory of conspiracy theories—who believes them and why, which ones are real, and what we should do about them. 
     
    Nothing happens by accident, everything is connected, and there are no coincidences: that is the essence of conspiratorial thinking. Long a fringe part of the American political landscape, conspiracy theories are now mainstream: 147 members of Congress voted in favor of objections to the 2020  
    presidential election based on an unproven theory about a rigged electoral process promoted by the mysterious group QAnon. But this is only the latest example in a long history of ideas that include the satanic panics of the 1980s, the New World Order and Vatican conspiracy theories, fears about  
    fluoridated water, speculations about President John F. Kennedy's assassination, and the notions that the Sandy Hook massacre was a false-flag operation and 9/11 was an inside job. 
     
    In Conspiracy, Michael Shermer presents an overarching review of conspiracy theories—who believes them and why, which ones are real, and what we should do about them. Trust in conspiracy theories, he writes, cuts across gender, age, race, income, education level, occupational status—and even  
    political affiliation. One reason that people believe these conspiracies, Shermer argues, is that enough of them are real that we should be constructively conspiratorial: elections have been rigged (LBJ's 1948 Senate race); medical professionals have intentionally harmed patients in their care (Tuskegee); your  
    government does lie to you (Watergate, Iran-Contra, and Afghanistan); and, tragically, some adults do conspire to sexually abuse children. But Shermer reveals that other factors are also in play: anxiety and a sense of loss of control play a role in conspiratorial cognition patterns, as do certain personality traits. 
     
    This engaging book will be an important read for anyone concerned about the future direction of American politics, as well as anyone who's watched friends or family fall into patterns of conspiratorial thinking.

    The Epistle to the Philippians is a Pauline epistle of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The epistle is attributed to Paul the Apostle and Timothy is named with him as co-author or co-sender. The letter is addressed to the Christian church in Philippi. Paul, Timothy, Silas (and perhaps Luke) first visited Philippi in Greece (Macedonia) during Paul's second missionary journey from Antioch, which occurred between approximately 49 and 51 AD. In the account of his visit in the Acts of the Apostles, Paul and Silas are accused of "disturbing the city".

    Race complicates our relationships, even when we reject racism and seek to walk a better path together. How can we get our thinking—and our conversations—unstuck from entrenched patterns? In this book, four experts in psychology and social work present a model for how to build and deepen the cross-race relationships we want.
    The starting place, they testify, must be a biblical understanding of the problem of racial disunity, grounded in the grand narrative of Scripture, followed by practical insights about psychology and social behavior. This book is the culmination of professional—but also deeply personal—conversations the authors have had with each other, wrestling together over current events, their own stories, and their roles in the healing process. They combine biblical teachings with psychological science to help Christians develop the skills to discuss race and ethnicity.
    In each chapter, you will be guided through essential information, biblical examples, case studies, activities, and journaling exercises to prepare you to practice healing conversations. Using research from psychology, attachment theory, and emotionally focused therapy, this process will build your knowledge, self-awareness, other-awareness, and specific relational skills.
    Jesus embodied love, challenged injustice, welcomed those rejected by society, and engaged in healing conversations with everyone he encountered. The insights and practices in Healing Conversations on Race will help Christians grow in Christlikeness and follow his example.
