Click on "MatchBook on Kindle site for details.** The Street or Me is the true story of Judith Glynn, a divorcee who can barely make ends meet in New York City. Judith is drawn to befriend Michelle, a homeless drunk in her neighborhood. Previously a beauty queen in Italy, Michelle had come to the states when an American photographer convinced her that fame awaited. Drugs and alcohol got in the way of that dream. Putting her life aside and risking her own safety, Judith is determined to recover Michelle's dignity and return her to her family in Italy. But is Michelle too far gone, preferring street life and possible death in a gutter over Judith's guiding light back into society? Note: This book contains scenes and profanity relevant to street life, told by the author to create an authentic read and handled in good taste.
Judith Glynn
Darkly comic novel and pastiche of Zola. Lots of lust, obsession and an unresolved Oedipus Complex. Tackles religious and middle class hypocrisy.
The Outcast Majority
The Outcast Majority invites policymakers, practitioners, academics, students, and others to think about three commanding contemporary issues—war, development, and youth—in new ways. The starting point is the following irony: while African youth are demographically dominant, most see themselves as members of an outcast minority. The irony directly informs young people’s lives in war-affected Africa, where differences separating the priorities of youth and those of international agencies are especially prominent. Drawing on interviews with development experts and young people, Marc Sommers shines a light on this gap and offers guidance on how to close it. He begins with a comprehensive consideration of forces that shape and propel the lives of African youth today, particularly those experiencing or emerging from war. They are contrasted with forces that influence and constrain the international development aid enterprise. The book concludes with a framework for making development policies and practices significantly more relevant and effective for youth in areas affected by African wars and other places where vast and vibrant youth populations reside.
The Life and Death of Smallpox
A history of one of the most feared diseases, ending with a conditional human success story - the worldwide eradication of smallpox.
Love, Money, and HIV
How do modern women in developing countries experience sexuality and love? Drawing on a rich array of interview, ethnographic, and survey data from her native country of Kenya, Sanyu A. Mojola examines how young African women, who suffer disproportionate rates of HIV infection compared to young African men, navigate their relationships, schooling, employment, and finances in the context of economic inequality and a devastating HIV epidemic. Writing from a unique outsider-insider perspective, Mojola argues that the entanglement of love, money, and the transformation of girls into Òconsuming womenÓ lies at the heart of womenÕs coming-of-age and health crises. At once engaging and compassionate, this text is an incisive analysis of gender, sexuality, and health in Africa.
Permit But Discourage
