Beschreibung

Following the story of one middle class family as they work, eat, love, and grow, Everyday Life in Global Morocco provides a moving and engaging exploration of how world issues impact lives. Rachel Newcomb shows how larger issues like gentrification, changing diets, and nontraditional approaches to marriage and fertility are changing what the everyday looks and feels like in Morocco. Newcomb's close engagement with the Benjelloun family presents a broad range of responses to the multifaceted effects of globalization. The lived experience of the modern family is placed in contrast with the traditional expectation of how this family should operate. This juxtaposition encourages new ways of thinking about how modern the notion of globalization really is.

    "We weren't religious per se. The most frequent mention of God in our house was my mother yelling 'Goddammit!'" 
    Part memoir, part social history, in Departure Stories: Betty Crocker Made Matzoh Balls (and other lies), Elisa Bernick uses her family’s experiences to explore Minnesota’s legacy of antisemitism and the struggle for women’s rights during the 1960s and early 1970s. She tells both heartbreaking and hilarious stories about being the only Jews in the suburb of New Hope during this period and shows how being considered “different” took a toll on her family, particularly her mother. This book discusses abandonment, abuse, intergenerational trauma, and divorce, but it uses humor and sensitivity to present a hopeful message about examining the flexibility of memory and the possibility of rewriting the stories we tell about trauma and transforming them into tales of empowerment. 
    Deftly interweaving reporting, archival material, memoir, jokes, scrapbook fragments, personal commentary, and one very special Waikiki Meatballs recipe, Bernick explores how the invisible baggage of place and memory, Minnesota's uniquely antisemitic history, and the cultural shifts of feminism and changing marital expectations contributed to her family's eventual implosion. 
    Departure Stories: Betty Crocker Made Matzoh Balls (and Other Lies) is a personal exploration of erasure, immigrants, and exiles that examines the ways departures—from places, families and memory—have far-reaching effects.

    Win and Beat Manipulators at Their Own GamesA game can be defined as “an activity that has rules for winning and losing.” Contrarily, another definition of it is “to use those rules of an activity to get what you want, in a way that is dishonest.” Whether you want to admit it, you are already playing a game called “life,” and in it there are those who live by the latter definition - willing to cheat the game via manipulation.What is manipulation? It’s the controlling of an individual through misleading means to get something that these manipulators want, whether money, power, relationship, or sex.Many people are victims of others’ manipulative behaviors without realizing it, including you. Think about those people from your life ranging from families and friends to acquaintances and strangers you’ve met on the street. Were there times when you had a gut-wrenching feeling that something was wrong, and it turned out to be they were manipulating you? How did it make you feel? Confused? Angry? Miserable?Nobody likes being taken advantage of, but unfortunately it’s a part of human nature to want to assert control over others as survival of the fittest. Being ignorant to that will only continue to make you a victim.But now you can do something about it by beating manipulators at their own mind games with “Game of Mind Manipulation.” By taking a page out of their playbook, you’ll be guided on the following:* Patterns for predicting manipulator’s next move* Subtle manipulations going on behind the scene* Tactics to stop manipulator dead right in the track* In-depth look into the most pervasive mind games* Expert solutions for specific manipulative behaviors* And much more!Who said the game of life was going to be easy? While it may not always be ideal, it certainly can be won once you know all the right strategies to maneuver. Either you play it to win it, or get played by it to lose it. The choice is yours. Make your first move now, and checkmate!

    A poignant, incisive meditation on Israel's longstanding rejection of peace, and what the war on Gaza means for Palestinian and Israeli futures. 
     
     
     
    When apartheid in South Africa ended in 1994, dismantled by internal activism and global pressure, why did Israel continue to pursue its own apartheid policies against Palestinians? In keeping with a history of antagonism, the Israeli state accelerated the establishment of settlements in the Occupied Territories as extreme right-wing voices gained prominence in government, with comparatively little international backlash. 
     
     
     
    Condensing this complex history into a lucid essay, Raja Shehadeh examines the many lost opportunities to promote a lasting peace and equality between Israelis and Palestinians. Since the creation of Israel in 1948, known to Palestinians as the Nakba, or catastrophe, each side's perception of events has strongly diverged. What can this discrepancy tell us about Israel's undermining of a two-state solution? And will the current genocide in Gaza finally mark a shift in the world's response? 
     
     
     
    With graceful, haunting prose, Shehadeh offers insights into a defining conflict that could yet be resolved.

    Black women continue to have a complex and convoluted relationship with their hair. 
     
     
     
    From grammar and high schools to corporate boardrooms and military squadrons, Black and Afro Latina natural hair continues to confound, transfix, and enrage members of White American society. Why, in 2022, is this still the case? Why have we not moved beyond that perennial racist emblem? And why are women so disproportionately affected? 
     
     
     
    Why does our hair become most palatable when it capitulates, and has been subjugated, to resemble Caucasian features as closely as possible? Who or what is responsible for the web of supervision and surveillance of our hair? Who in our society gets to author the prevailing constitution of professional appearance? 
     
      
     
    Particularly relevant during this time of emboldened White supremacy, racism, and provocative othering, this work explores how writing about one of the still-remaining systemic biases in schools, academia, and corporate America might lead to greater understanding and respect.
