Book Synopsis Adiós crisis by : Laura Day

Download or read book Adiós crisis written by Laura Day. This book was released on 2007. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crisis is inevitable, but Day (Practical Intuition), a self-described "intuitive healer" and "beacon for people in crisis," believes crisis can be a catalyst for change. She relates her own tragedies: her mother committed suicide when Day was 14; years later, her marriage ended, leaving Day impoverished and with a newborn son to raise. She relates how she learned to let go of her former life and reinvent herself by penning a bestselling self-help manual and within a few years had earned almost $4 million. Most readers won't be so fortunate in recovering from their crises, but Day presents a wide variety of exercises—such as making a list of people you can reach out to and rewriting your "personal mythology"—that can assist those struggling through emotional hard times. The main thing, she says, is to go on with daily tasks that keep you grounded, from paying bills to exercising. One should avoid letting rumination, recrimination and a need for retribution—which keep one mired in the past—interfere with future possibilities.

Book Synopsis Adiós al capitalismo by : Jérôme Baschet

Download or read book Adiós al capitalismo written by Jérôme Baschet. This book was released on 2015-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Qué implica replantearse la posibilidad de un mundo liberado del capitalismo? En el marco de una crisis que marca los límites del pensamiento neoliberal, los nuevos movimientos sociales –excluidos, sin papeles, sin empleo, sin vivienda, migrantes, pueblos indígenas– proponen iniciativas desde abajo. Jérôme Baschet analiza en este libro las experimentaciones sociales y políticas de las comunidades zapatistas, en las que participa desde hace años, para reabrir el horizonte de los posibles. Pero no establece como modelo universal estas experiencias de autogestión que se llevan a cabo en esa región de México, ni construye un gran relato de futuro, sino más bien al contrario, las condena a disolverse en un nuevo Estado, incluso proletario. La crisis mundial no afecta a todos de la misma manera. Las mutaciones del mundo del trabajo y subjetividades dispuestas a participar de nuevas formas de producción y consumo rediseñan nuestro presente. Sin embargo, no han madurado aún los proyectos de emancipación. Gracias a un esfuerzo poco habitual, que conjuga proyección teórica y conocimiento directo de una de las experiencias de autonomía más reflexivas de las últimas décadas, Jérôme Baschet propone un balance crítico del zapatismo y analiza la organización política de esas comunidades autónomas federadas que se hicieron cargo de los servicios de salud, educación, policía y justicia. Más allá de las recetas revolucionarias del siglo XX, Baschet explicita las características más complejas del capitalismo financiarizado y explora vías alternativas para la elaboración práctica de nuevas formas de vida.

Book Synopsis Adiós Niño by : Deborah T. Levenson

Download or read book Adiós Niño written by Deborah T. Levenson. This book was released on 2013-04-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Adiós Niño: The Gangs of Guatemala City and the Politics of Death, Deborah T. Levenson examines transformations in the Guatemalan gangs called Maras from their emergence in the 1980s to the early 2000s. A historical study, Adiós Niño describes how fragile spaces of friendship and exploration turned into rigid and violent ones in which youth, and especially young men, came to employ death as a natural way of living for the short period that they expected to survive. Levenson relates the stark changes in the Maras to global, national, and urban deterioration; transregional gangs that intersect with the drug trade; and the Guatemalan military's obliteration of radical popular movements and of social imaginaries of solidarity. Part of Guatemala City's reconfigured social, political, and cultural milieu, with their members often trapped in Guatemala's growing prison system, the gangs are used to justify remilitarization in Guatemala's contemporary postwar, post-peace era. Portraying the Maras as microcosms of broader tragedies, and pointing out the difficulties faced by those youth who seek to escape the gangs, Levenson poses important questions about the relationship between trauma, memory, and historical agency.

Book excerpt: Stages of Conflict brings together an array of dramatic texts, tracing the intersection of theater and social and political life in the Americas over the past five centuries. Historical pieces from the sixteenth century to the present highlight the encounter between indigenous tradition and colonialism, while contributions from modern playwrights such as Virgilio Pinero, Jose Triana, and Denise Stolkos take on the tumultuous political and social upheavals of the past century. The editors have added critical commentary on the origins of each play, affording scholars and students of theater, performance studies, and Latin American studies the opportunity to view the history of a continent through its rich and diverse theatrical traditions.--from publisher's statement.

Book Synopsis Pushing in Silence by : Isabel M. Córdova

Download or read book Pushing in Silence written by Isabel M. Córdova. This book was released on 2017-12-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Puerto Rico rapidly industrialized from the late 1940s until the 1970s, the social, political, and economic landscape changed profoundly. In the realm of heath care, the development of medical education, new medical technologies, and a new faith in science radically redefined childbirth and its practice. What had traditionally been a home-based, family-oriented process, assisted by women and midwives and “accomplished” by mothers, became a medicalized, hospital-based procedure, “accomplished” and directed by biomedical, predominantly male, practitioners, and, ultimately reconfigured, after the 1980s, into a technocratic model of childbirth, driven by doctors’ fears of malpractice suits and hospitals’ corporate concerns. Pushing in Silence charts the medicalization of childbirth in Puerto Rico and demonstrates how biomedicine is culturally constructed within regional and historical contexts. Prior to 1950, registered midwives on the island outnumbered registered doctors by two to one, and they attended well over half of all deliveries. Isabel M. Córdova traces how, over the next quarter-century, midwifery almost completely disappeared as state programs led by scientifically trained experts and organized by bureaucratic institutions restructured and formalized birthing practices. Only after cesarean rates skyrocketed in the 1980s and 1990s did midwifery make a modest return through the practices of five newly trained midwives. This history, which mirrors similar patterns in the United States and elsewhere, adds an important new chapter to the development of medicine and technology in Latin America.
