After The Rain
AZAHANI, or Aza, is determined to provide a better future for herself and her family. Reluctantly, she leaves home to attend life in a fully residential school in the heart of Kuala Lumpur at the tender age of thirteen. In the boarding school, she finds life more challenging than the simple, quiet one she enjoys in her hometown. It is difficult enough to make decisions on her own, without her mother''''''''s help when faced with dilemmas. What is even worse is to confront incidents which challenge some principles she has held on to all this while. She is learning that life is not just about studying what is in the books. And despite her vigorous efforts to remain focused on her studies and be at the top of her class, in seclusion of everything else, why does Aza find it increasingly important what the head prefect of the school thinks of her?
THE BICYCLE
I’m sorry. I’m sorry I hurt you. I regret saying those things to you. I hate myself for even thinking that I could ever forget what you have done for me. I’m sorry, really sorry. My father was against the idea. He never saw you the way I saw you. I tried to convince him but he’s a strong willed man and seldom backs down from his decisions. I was scared of what he might do to you. That’s why I did what I did.
THE PROMISE
ADAM set his alarm clock the night before and due to the habit, he repeatedly hit the snooze button of his alarm clock until fi nally got up at roughly 6 am. He went straight to the toilet adjacent to his room to freshen up. He combed his short straight hair. Adam looked in the mirror in his bathroom and saw a reflection of himself, a handsome fi gure with a pair of soft black eyes and smart lips. Standing tall at six feet, he was well-built for his age. He lived with his parents and a sister in a two-storey suburban house, which belonged to his parents. His pa rents were middle-aged and healthy for people of that age. The house had a large living room, which accommodated two sofa sets with a coffee table in between.
Forsaken
JAY, BEN AND MAC - They are slayers who devoted their life to eradicate demons from walking among us. They train all their lives defending themselves against these dark entities but it seems not enough as they witnessed their mothers’ deaths. The aftermath crumbles the once strong bond, splitting them onto two different life paths. Forces of darkness are not fi nished with them however. The slayers are forced to rebuild their shattered life, take up the mantle once more and in doing so, hoping to become a family again, stronger than before and kill the one evil who has doomed their life from the start.
Reproductive Rights as Human Rights
Reveals both the promise and the pitfalls associated with a human rights approach to the women of color-focused reproductive rights activism of SisterSong How did reproductive justice—defined as the right to have children, to not have children, and to parent—become recognized as a human rights issue? In Reproductive Rights as Human Rights, Zakiya Luna highlights the often-forgotten activism of women of color who are largely responsible for creating what we now know as the modern-day reproductive justice movement. Focusing on SisterSong, an intersectional reproductive justice organization, Luna shows how, and why, women of color mobilized around reproductive rights in the domestic arena. She examines their key role in re-framing reproductive rights as human rights, raising this set of issues as a priority in the United States, a country hostile to the concept of human rights at home. An indispensable read, Reproductive Rights as Human Rights provides a much-needed intersectional perspective on the modern-day reproductive justice movement.
Searching for Sasquatch
The first academic study of this subject is an entertaining look at the search for Sasquatch which considers not just the nature of monsters and monster hunting in the late 20th century, but the more important relationship between the professional scientists and amateur naturalists who hunt them—and their place in the history of science.
Grandmothers as Caregivers
Based on the first major study of black grandmothers who, as a consequence of the cocaine epidemic, raise young grandchildren, this volume examines: the social and cultural contexts within which grandparent caregiving takes place; the roles and responsibilities of grandparents; how the role of caregiver changes their lives; the cost of caregiving in terms of health, economics and employment; and the role of social support networks.
Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology
At the crossroads of ethics, poetics and politics, this innovative book outlines a series of notes to decolonize political theology. The author proposes counter-hegemonic forms of reading, which deconstruct domination by embracing fragility. The book opens with a diapason of prejudicelessness as a decolonial key, focusing on prejudices that hinder critical attention to a colonial political theology that perpetuates hatred. The first set of notes aims to ‘de-orientalize the Semite’ by reading midrashic and biblical texts in the present context, the second seeks to decolonize language by exploring the power of translation, and the third ponders decolonial theo-logics to outline a justice o...
