Sinopsis

This collection of essays brings together an international group of scholars who discuss various facets of the American South in popular culture, literature, the arts, and throughout history. It includes reflections on place, on the importance of memory in shaping individual identity, and on race, class and gender. All the contributions confirm Howard's Zinn's idea that the South "is not damnable, but marvelously useful, as a mirror in which the nation can see its blemishes magnified, so that it will hurry to correct them." This volume sheds light on the "marvelous" sides of the South though it does not overlook its darker ones, thus making it possible to better understand this peculiar region.

    You've read White Fragility and How to Be an Antiracist, but what comes next? The answer lies in this clear, actionable guide providing an invaluable four-week program for becoming an ally who makes a real difference in the racial justice fight. 
     
     
     
    Black women have always been the driving force behind real change in this country—especially when it comes to racial justice work. But they shouldn't have to do it alone. If you're ready to stop standing on the sidelines and become anti-racist instead of passively "not racist," then this book is what you need. You'll discover: how to have difficult conversations about white supremacy, racism, and white privilege; how to listen to criticism without defensiveness; why it's harmful to ignore race or claim to be colorblind; and how to expand your racial justice circle by joining groups led by Black women and cultivating a group of like-minded allies. 
     
     
      
    Racism can only be defeated if white people educate themselves and actively engage in antiracism work, especially in their inner circles. With this book, you'll learn how to change from someone who defends and protects racism to someone who fights against it. And you'll become an example to others that true allies are made, not born.

    “We must think globally, but act locally.” —His Holiness the Dalai LamaSimple and accessible wisdom from His Holiness the Dalai Lama on how we are human, how we are not alone, and how we must help each other.   A global pandemic has revealed to us how the world can be shaken up within a very short period. Such a crisis—experienced by all humans on the earth—has given rise to uncertainty, fear, anxiety, loneliness, and depression. As societies and nations struggle to come to terms with and contain it, economic breakdown, migration, environmental crises, and a dwindling spirit stare us in the face. In this climate, His Holiness the Dalai Lama is calling upon us to be brave—to have the courage to step up to the recognition that we are all part of the same global community. His Holiness reminds us that it takes courage to give up our self-centered sense of individuality; it takes courage to find a sense of oneness with seven billion human beings. Bravery is admitting that we are not alone, and that without community we cannot survive. In Be Brave, His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches us that practicing compassion and cultivating peace of mind are the paths to inner strength, peace, clarity, and happiness.

    The Silent Generation, born between the mid-1920s and the early 1940s, is often characterized by its quiet strength and resilience. Unlike the more outspoken Baby Boomers or the politically vocal Millennials, members of this generation are sometimes referred to as the “silent” because they were raised in an era where conformity and restraint were the societal norms. Their lives unfolded during some of the most transformative and tumultuous events of the 20th century, including the Great Depression, World War II, and the early stages of the Cold War. 
    Growing up in the midst of economic hardship, many from the Silent Generation experienced a world of scarcity, hard work, and sacrifice. The Great Depression shaped their values, instilling a sense of frugality, a strong work ethic, and an appreciation for the basics of life. These formative experiences molded a generation that was deeply loyal, resourceful, and able to persevere through difficult circumstances. As children, they witnessed the turmoil of the 1930s, and as young adults, they were called upon to contribute to the war effort during World War II. 
    Yet, despite the challenges they faced, the Silent Generation was also a time of growth and progress. It was a generation that saw the advent of many technological and social changes, although their response to these innovations was often more cautious compared to younger generations. They witnessed the rise of television, the automobile culture, and, later, the early days of the space race and computing. Their era was also one of profound social change, as the civil rights movement and the women’s liberation movement began to take root, though many from the Silent Generation remained resistant to these shifts.

    A guy who rejects or breaks up with you should no longer exist in your life. Contacting him or allowing him to stay in-touch with you will make you work harder and harder to convince him that you’re worth his love and attention, and it will compel you to play that ugly and unwinnable game called, "Chase-A-Man". 
    The best way to avoid this ugly game and break his spell over you is to cut the guy off (go "no contact" on him) for a set period of time, or in some cases, keep him cut off and out of your life indefinitely. 
    In this survival guide for women, you’re going to learn the importance of silence after a breakup or rejection, how it benefits you, and the powerful influence it has on the man who rejects you. If you want to bounce back from a bad breakup or even just improve your relationships with men in the future, this audiobook will help you rediscover your true self-worth. 
    Here’s what else you’re going to learn:The dangerous thought-process that keeps many women TRAPPED in an addictive cycle of unfulfilling sex, disappointment, and low self-esteem.Why you should never relieve a guy of the guilt he feels for treating you poorly. And why allowing him to feel guilty is actually a GOOD thing.Exactly what men think and feel when you cut them off QUICKLY.Why FORCING a man to live with his decision to leave you is crucial to reclaiming your power and potentially getting him back in the future.The dangers of staying in touch with an ex, and how it tricks you into settling for a DEAD-END pseudo-relationship.How you can better control the "MEAN GIRL" inside your head (that inner voice that likes to tell you "you’re not good, smart, or pretty enough" in some way) by finally standing up for yourself.And much, much more... 
    Get started right away and discover the power and importance of silence after a breakup or rejection.
