Potential Weapons: A Novella and Stories

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lieu, Jocelyn, PUBLISHER: Graywolf Press, "First to fade were the names, then the faces, until she ""couldn't be sure the people once called family ever really ""existed. Sometimes, when she wandered through Chinatown, she wondered whether this middle-aged man or that young mother with the sullen girl was related to her. Relatives. Strangers. There was no way to know."In this vivid, elegantly written debut, Jocelyn Lieu explores the risks of self-discovery. The characters in "Potential Weapons" lead bi-cultural lives, their ethnicity not obvious at first glance. What are you anyway? someone asks. But it is only when cultures clash, when memory is forced into the present moment, that this question can begin to be answered. In the title story, Abi, a young Chinese American woman, attends a Klan rally, in protest, with her white mother. Once there, they are stripped of all "potential weapons," including her mother's cane. Diana visits the home of her lover's parents, Holocaust survivors: the mystery of cultural difference and the haunting music of Gulf War TV coverage permeate the encounter. Through a chance meeting in New York's Chinatown, Mar discovers her estranged Aunt Pearl, who turns out to be the family's most intriguing secret, a link to a past colored by the struggle to survive.

The Economic Person: Acting and Analyzing

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Danner, Peter L., PUBLISHER: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, This book emphasizes that analysis of broad economic changes treats people abstractly, while a personalist view sees them as human agents who, while needing and generating economic goods, must still be responsive to others and be aware of values and goals beyond temporal well-being.

Beneath the United States: A History of U.S. Policy Toward

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schoultz, Lars, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, In this sweeping history of United States policy toward Latin America, Lars Schoultz shows that the United States has always perceived Latin America as a fundamentally inferior neighbor, unable to manage its affairs and stubbornly underdeveloped. This perception of inferiority was apparent from the beginning. John Quincy Adams, who first established diplomatic relations with Latin America, believed that Hispanics were "lazy, dirty, nasty...a parcel of hogs." In the early nineteenth century, ex-President John Adams declared that any effort to implant democracy in Latin America was "as absurd as similar plans would be to establish democracies among the birds, beasts, and fishes." Drawing on extraordinarily rich archival sources, Schoultz, one of the country's foremost Latin America scholars, shows how these core beliefs have not changed for two centuries. We have combined self-interest with a "civilizing mission"--a self-abnegating effort by a superior people to help a substandard civilization overcome its defects. William Howard Taft felt the way to accomplish this task was "to knock their heads together until they should maintain peace," while in CIA Director Allen Dulles warned that "the new Cuban officials had to be treated more or less like children." Schoultz shows that the policies pursued reflected these deeply held convictions. While political correctness censors the expression of such sentiments today, the actions of the United States continue to assume the political and cultural inferiority of Latin America. Schoultz demonstrates that not until the United States perceives its southern neighbors as equals can it anticipate a constructive hemispheric alliance.

Alternatives to Domestic Violence: A Homework Manual for

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fall, Kevin A. / Howard, Shareen, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Alternatives to Domestic Violence is designed as a workbook to be used by male patients in domestic violence group counseling. The topics covered were selected based on best practices within the field of domestic violence intervention, allowing the book to be used with a wide variety of accepted curricula for such programs. Interactive exercises provide group members with the opportunity for enhanced participation and learning, and stories from men who were previously participants themselves illuminate important concepts and techniques for change. Topics covered include the expectations and realities of group work; exploring and defeating intimidation; respect and accountability; maintaining positive relationships; and good communication skills. Two additional topics, parenting and the role of religion in recovery, are unique additions not found in other domestic violence programs. This new edition is completely revised based on new advances in the field and the authors own work since the last was published, and contains several new stories from group members and a new section on the role of drugs and alcohol in domestic violence.

How the Irish Saved Civilization: The Untold Story of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cahill, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Anchor Books, The perfect St. Patrick's Day gift, and a book in the best tradition of popular history -- the untold story of Ireland's role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe. Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars" -- and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization -- copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost -- they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated. In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilization.

Parenting: The Bottom Line

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mackey, Ron, PUBLISHER: Trafford Publishing, "Parenting: The Bottom Line" was born out of the never-ending controversy of whether or not spanking should be used as a disciplinary tool by parents. In response to this hot topic, author Ron Mackey examines the role of the parent as disciplinarian and the importance of raising children to understand the difference between good and bad behavior. Guiding and nurturing children with love and patience will establish a solid foundation allowing them to grow up to become responsible adults.All too often, parents in today's society postpone using any kind of discipline with their children until they are old enough to understand the reason for the punishment. But by postponing this critical part of the growth cycle, they discover that their children have developed behavior that has become so deeply ingrained that the habits can't be easily broken."Parenting: The Bottom Line" provides insight and useful information that is designed to help parents overcome some of the difficulties that they may encounter, as they raise their bundles of joy from infancy to adulthood.

Dawn of Unity: Guide to a New Prosperity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Leonard, John B., PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, Have you ever thought about the meaning of the phrase in Pres. Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, where he refers to..".a government of the people, by the people, and for the people,..."? The author believes that our present system - by allowing money to influence the process - is not truly a government by the people; but is rather a government by a wealthy elite, operating primarily for their own benefit. He believes that for a government to truly be "by the people," all people should have equal power, and play an active role in determining government policy. He also believes that this can not come about until the government is freed from all outside influences; particularly the power of wealth. This book proposes two protocols: one to remove the power of money and wealth, and the other, an easy to implement procedure that will put all motivated individuals in control of decision-making processes within all areas of government; from neighborhoods, to cities, to states, and to the nation. Herein is a viable way for all people to obtain governance that truly serves all. That way is through cooperative unity.
