Summary of Lisbeth Zornig Andersen's Anger Is My Middle Name
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I have visited my grandparents, who live nearby in a red wooden house. Grandpa mostly just lies in bed since he broke his leg, although he gets up sometimes to take his three-wheel moped to the pub. I have never been in the attic, but I’m afraid of it. #2 I like to lie down on the floor with Døtter and bury my nose in her stomach while I listen to the adults talking. The wood floor in the living room is shiny and greasy. From the floor, I can look up at the coffee table, which is covered with ashtrays and coffee cups. #3 I was three years old when I was sent to an orphanage called Kastanjegården. The place looked like a nice old farm, and I was excited to live there with my brothers. #4 After a few hours of being allowed to walk around on their own, it’s dinner time. I enjoy the food and am full and happy by the time the TV is turned on. I fall asleep at the dining table with my head on my arms.
Anger Is My Middle Name
An empowering memoir of resilience and redemption, and the rage that helped a girl escape the darkness of a harrowing childhood. Born to a violently dysfunctional home in working-class Denmark, Lisbeth Zornig Andersen and her three older brothers were bounced between foster care and state-run institutions, then back again to their chemically dependent mother and sadistic stepfather. For Lisbeth, it was a childhood without perimeters. It was blighted by poverty, sexual abuse, neglect, betrayal, and further victimization by the broken Danish social services system that forced Lisbeth to live where and how it saw fit. Coming of age with a myriad of fears and emotional disorders, Lisbeth had thr...

Migration, Cosmopolitanism and Civil Society
This book discusses the ways civil society initiatives open communities to newcomers and why, how, and under what circumstances some are more welcoming than others, exploring the importance of transgressive cosmopolitanism as a basis for creating more inclusive and pluralistic societies. The question of how to live together in increasingly multicultural, multi-ethnic, and multireligious societies is a pressing political and policy issue, particularly as we witness a rise in right-wing populism and anti-immigrant sentiments. This book addresses the limitations of approaches that seek to secure borders, preventing the arrival of newcomers altogether, or that vacillate between assimilation and ...
Monster
Aileen Wuornos was executed in Florida, on the 9th of October, 2002 at the age of 46. She was the 10th woman to be sentenced to death in the USA since the death penalty resumed in 1976. Convicted for the murder of six men, in a two month period, Aileen claimed she acted in self defence however the investigation into these claims was poor and she later retracted her statement announcing to the Supreme Court, "I'm one who seriously hates human life and would kill again." All-too-often female prostitutes have been the victims of male serial killers - the killings of Aileen 'Lee' Wuornos were the inverse of this. She was a child prostitute, fleeing an abusive childhood at the hands of her grandparents, which led straight into a disastrous adulthood of difficult affairs with both men and women. Her metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences: a stream of dead men. Following a renewed interest in this woman after the film "Monster", this is her story in her own words.

Zornig
Lisbeth Zornig Andersen har skrevet en ærlig til tider grotesk og ufrivillig morsom fortælling om at navigere i to så forskellige miljøer som middelklasse-København og underklasse-Nakskov, og om at leve med mistillid, skam, angst, søvnbesvær og grænseløshed som tro følgesvende i en verden, hvor karriere og familieliv også skal fungere.Voksne Lisbeth tager et opgør med den unge Lisbeth og de skader, hun forvoldte andre, i kampen for at lande på begge ben i sit voksenliv. I efterskriftet er der henvisninger og tips til at mestre senfølger af seksuelt misbrug og til at være pårørende.
