Beschreibung

Through biographical narratives, Claiming Home traces how queer migrant women living in Switzerland navigate often contradictory perspectives on sexuality, gender, and nation. Situated between heteronormative and racialized stereotypes of migrant women on the one hand, and the implicitly white figure of the lesbian on the other, queer migrant women are often rendered ›impossible subjects.‹ Claiming Home maps how they negotiate conflicting loyalties in this field and how they, in their own way, claim a sense of belonging and home.

    There are only, in my humble opinion, two kinds of readers: Readers who love your books and readers who don’t know they love your books yet. But how do you reach those readers in the second category, no matter what kind of writer you are? 
    The answer to that question is…Universal Fantasy 
    Universal Fantasy is why my sales tripled when I “accidentally” wrote three books that landed in the Amazon Top 100. 
    Universal Fantasy is why some authors get gobs of gushing reviews and some authors who write “way better” get crickets. 
    Universal Fantasy is the answer to many of the questions you might have thought were unanswerable or simply up to luck, like… 
    • Will this sell? 
    • Why is that selling? 
    • Why didn’t this sell? 
    • Will readers like what I am writing? 
    • Why do I love the TV shows/books/entertainments I do? 
    • Why did I buy that thing I bought when I didn’t intend to buy it? 
    BE WARNED…once known, Universal Fantasy cannot be undiscovered. Leave this book be if you’re truly satisfied with your current writing life. 
    But if you’re not afraid—if you’re ready to know the secret hidden inside all bestselling stories, open this gift and find out how to use UNIVERSAL FANTASY to write and market books that SELL to ANYONE

    Combat diaries from elite operators and commanding officers dominate the space. But what happens when regulars face the fire? 
     
     
     
    Ronny Bruce is a renaissance man: philosopher, drifter, Gen X rock 'n' roller, and gentleman. At thirty-two, divorced and burnt-out with the burbs, Ronny bails on his teaching career and seeks army infantry. It's no joke when boot camp is mandatory since his marine corps' service ended ten years beforehand. Assigned to Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Ronny's platoon hunts an Afghan foe who's never surrendered. Half collapse from wounds. 
     
     
     
    Ronny's decade-long postwar journey examines victory and failure. Six men expire before thirty-five as a result of four suicides, one unexplained death, and murder. Labels for the living include felon, vagrant, drunk, addict, depressed, and suicidal. Ronny checks some boxes. Graduate, businessman, engineer, teacher, accountant, and rich describes other paths. Ronny checks some of those too. 
     
     
     
    War through the eyes of this offbeat ATLien provides explosive payoffs that get smothered by each page—answering an age-old question: what drives warriors over the edge?

    South of the Norman city of Caen, Verrières Ridge was seen a key stepping-stone for the British Second Army if it was to break out of the Normandy bridgehead in late July 1944. Imposing in height and containing perfect terrain for armored operations, the Germans viewed it as the lynchpin to their defenses south of the city of Caen and east of the Orne river. 
     
     
     
    Following the failure of British Operation Goodwood on 18–20 July and the containment of the Canadian Operation Atlantic, further Allied attacks to seize the ridge would have to defeat arguably the strongest German armored formation in Normandy: The I. SS-Panzerkorps 'Leibstandarte.' The fighting of 23 July–3 August is chronicled in detail, specifically the premier Anglo-Canadian operation to capture Verrières Ridge, Operation Spring on 25 July. Designed as an attack to seize the ridge and exploit south with armor, this battle saw the 2nd Canadian Corps attack savaged again by German armored reserves brought in specifically to defeat another Goodwood. 
     
     
     
    Not satisfied with this defensive victory, German armored forces would then seek to restore an earlier defensive line further north, attacking to destroy the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division. Largely unknown, these were some of the strongest and most successful German armored operations to take place in the Normandy campaign.

    The dramatic story of one of the most violent episodes of the civil rights movement and its role in the ongoing reckoning with racial injustice in the United States. 
     
     
     
    On Tuesday, June 9, 1964, police attacked more than 600 Black men, women, and children inside First African Baptist Church (Tuscaloosa, Alabama), where Reverend Martin Luther King had launched the Tuscaloosa campaign for integration three months earlier. As the group gathered to march, they faced over seventy law enforcement officers and hundreds more deputized white citizens and Klansmen eager to end their protests for good. Police smashed the historic church's stained-glass windows with water hoses and fired rounds of tear gas inside. As demonstrators streamed from the church, many choking and soaked, they beat them with nightsticks, cattle prods, and axe handles, arrested nearly a hundred, and sent over thirty to the hospital. Here this event is recounted through the eyes of locals—a charismatic Black preacher trained by Rev. King, an aging police chief, the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and Black women who were the backbone of the protests. 
     
     
     
    In Bloody Tuesday, John Giggie powerfully recovers one of the last great untold stories of the civil rights movement and its role in the reckoning with America's ongoing struggle for racial justice.

    Anarchism is a political philosophy that advocates for a society without rulers, where individuals are free to govern themselves without the interference of centralized authority. It is a broad and diverse ideology that challenges traditional systems of power, particularly the state, while emphasizing voluntary cooperation and mutual aid among individuals. Anarchism is rooted in the belief that human beings are capable of organizing themselves in non-hierarchical, egalitarian structures, and that the imposition of authority and coercive institutions is both unjust and unnecessary. 
    At its core, anarchism rejects the concept of a state or any institution that wields power over others. Anarchists argue that the state is inherently oppressive and coercive, often serving the interests of the powerful rather than the people it is supposed to protect. The state's monopoly on violence, enforcement of laws, and control over resources are seen as mechanisms of domination that restrict human freedom and dignity. Instead of these top-down systems, anarchism envisions decentralized, voluntary forms of organization where individuals and communities govern themselves through direct democracy and mutual aid. 
    The philosophy of anarchism is built on a commitment to freedom, autonomy, and the abolition of all forms of hierarchy, including not only state power but also social, economic, and cultural hierarchies. Anarchists seek to dismantle systems of oppression such as capitalism, patriarchy, and racism, which they view as intertwined with state power. The idea of freedom in anarchism is not just the absence of external constraints, but the presence of opportunities for people to fully develop their potential and live in harmony with others.
