Under the Quiet Violence

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

**Under the Quiet Violence** is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of trauma's insidious effects on individuals and communities. Through a series of interwoven narratives, this book delves into the hidden wounds that fester beneath the surface of everyday life, revealing the profound impact of abuse, neglect, and violence on the human psyche.

With unflinching honesty and empathy, the author lays bare the scars left by trauma, both seen and unseen. We witness the haunting memories, emotional numbness, and chronic pain that linger long after the initial wounds have healed. We see how trauma disrupts relationships, distorts perceptions, and erodes self-worth.

Yet, amidst the darkness, **Under the Quiet Violence** also shines a light on the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. We encounter individuals who have found strength in adversity, who have emerged from the depths of despair with a renewed sense of purpose and hope. They embark on healing journeys, seeking solace in therapy, mindfulness, expressive arts, and the unwavering support of loved ones.

Through their stories, we learn that healing is not a linear process, but rather a winding path marked by both progress and setbacks. We witness the power of forgiveness in releasing the burden of the past, allowing individuals to reclaim their identities and embrace life with renewed purpose.

**Under the Quiet Violence** is a powerful and necessary book that confronts the hidden violence that exists beneath the surface of our lives. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a celebration of the transformative power of healing, and a call to action for a world where trauma is no longer a silent epidemic.

This book is essential reading for anyone who has experienced trauma, for those who work with survivors of trauma, and for anyone who seeks to understand the profound impact of adversity on the human condition.

Daddy Boy

Emerson Whitney

After a decade-long relationship with a dominatrix he called Daddy, Emerson Whitney had begun to crave something besides submission. It came as a full surprise‚ submission had been so central to his early adulthood, to his trans identity. Dizzied by new questions of control and aging, and living in a tent while his relationship ends, Emerson stumbles upon an advertisement for a storm-chasing tour. For thrill seekers, it says. Unsure what else to do, he signs up.Daddy Boy follows Emerson as he packs into a van full of strangers and drives up and down the country‚ staying in Days Inns and eating bags of carrots from Walmart and wanting nothing more than to surrender to the force of a colossal storm. We had no idea where we were going, Emerson writes, ‚ just waiting for one cloud to pop. Roaming the prairie landscape of his childhood, Emerson recalls his adoptive dad, Hank‚ unflinching and extremely Texan, and his biological dad, who was rarely around. From the van's trash-strewn back seat, and in the face of these looming figures, Emerson begins to wonder: Did he want to be Daddy now?

My War Criminal - Personal...

Jessica Stern

An investigation into the nature of violence, terror, and trauma through conversations with a notorious war criminal and hero to white nationalists. 
 
Between October 2014 and November 2016, global terrorism expert Jessica Stern held a series of conversations in a prison cell in The Hague with Radovan Karadzic, a Bosnian Serb former politician who had been indicted for genocide and other war crimes during the Bosnian War and who became an inspiration for white nationalists. Though Stern was used to interviewing terrorists in the field in an effort to understand their hidden motives, the conversations she had with Karadzic would profoundly alter her understanding of the mechanics of fear, the motivations of violence, and the psychology of those who perpetrate mass atrocities at a state level and who—like the terrorists she had previously studied—target noncombatants, in violation of ethical norms and international law. 
How do leaders persuade ordinary people to kill their neighbors? What is the “ecosystem” that creates and nurtures genocidal leaders? Could anything about their personal histories, personalities, or exposure to historical trauma shed light on the formation of a war criminal’s identity in opposition to a targeted Other? 
In My War Criminal, Jessica Stern brings to bear her incisive analysis and her own deeply considered reactions to her interactions with Karadzic, a brilliant and often shockingly charming psychiatrist and poet who spent twelve years in hiding, disguising himself as an energy healer, while also offering a deeply insightful and sometimes chilling account of the complex and even seductive powers of a magnetic leader—and what can happen when you spend many, many hours with that person.

A Jewish State

Theodor Herzl

Read in English, this is a pivotal document in the history of Zionism and the State of Israel. Herzl designed this work to elevate the discussion of "the Jewish Question" so it would "no longer take the form of violent abuse or sentimental vindication but of a debate, practical, large, earnest, and political." While few of Herzl's proposals were actually carried out, the importance of A JEWISH STATE was in the groundswell of support for a Jewish homeland engendered by its solutions to the practical problems of establishing a new state. In the words of a contemporary, "[Herzl] made it seem possible." Benjamin Ze’ev Herzl (1860-1904) was a Hungarian writer, political economist, and Jewish activist. (Summary by Adrian Praetzellis)
