Walk
'I am no superwoman, but I have walked 790 km across the top of Spain. Starting in France, I crossed the Pyrenees Mountains, followed the Camino Frances Way and finished at the Atlantic Ocean. Phew! Ask me how, and all I can say is, I just kept going. Every day, every hour, every minute. Town to town, kilometre by kilometre, step by step. This walk was a confusing combination of confidence, exhaustion, pain, happiness, wonder, tears, elation and resilience. Despite the mix of emotions and physical dilemmas, I spent 32 days marvelling at the wonder of nature and for the first time in my life, I lived, really lived, in the moment.' As Michelle walked, the days of solitude and quiet nurtured he...
Palabra de primera dama. Michelle Obama
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson es madre de dos hijas, abogada y, también, el personaje político más popular de los Estados Unidos, por delante incluso de su marido, el actual presidente norteamericano, Barack Obama. Michelle Obama es, además de espontánea, inteligente y familiar, mejor comunicadora que su marido y uno de sus pilares más importantes de cara a la reelección, y ha sabido ganarse el cariño y respeto de sus compatriotas desde su papel de primera dama. Después de analizar en «El secreto de Obama» (LID Editorial) las habilidades comunicativas del presidente estadounidense, Mónica Pérez de las Heras quedó fascinada por la figura de su esposa. Fruto de esa admiración nació un trabajo de investigación sobre su persona, llena de carisma y poder de atracción. Este retrato de Michelle está elaborado a partir de sus propias palabras en discursos, mítines y entrevistas, y muestra a una mujer rebelde que se enfrenta a estereotipos, convencionalismos y a todo aquello con lo que no está de acuerdo.
Michelle Obama 2024
Michelle Obama is not who she pretends to be. In Michelle Obama 2024, filmmaker Joel Gilbert does a deep dive into the life of the most popular woman in America and reveals one game-changing detail after another. Gilbert’s investigative journey takes him from Chicago to Princeton to Washington to Martha’s Vineyard and beyond. Along the way, he discovers that Michelle has created a cynical, highly effective, false narrative of her life story based largely on gender and race. In Chicago, Gilbert chronicles how Michelle has repeatedly run from the Black community or sold it out, much as her father did when he served as a precinct captain for the Daley Machine. Gilbert then exposes Michelle ...
Making Disease, Making Citizens
Since the naming of hepatitis C in 1989, knowledge about the disease has grown exponentially. So too, however, has the stigma with which it is linked. Associated with injecting drug use and tainted blood scandals, hepatitis C inspires fear and blame. Making Disease, Making Citizens takes a timely look at the disease, those directly affected by it and its social and cultural implications. Drawing on personal interviews and a range of textual sources, the book presents a scholarly and engaging analysis of a newly identified and highly controversial disease and its relationship to philosophies of health, risk and harm in the West. It maps the social and medical negotiations taking place around the disease, shedding light on the ways these negotiations are also co-producing new selves. Adopting a feminist science and technology studies approach, this theoretically sophisticated, empirically informed analysis of the social construction of disease and the philosophy of health will appeal to those with interests in the sociology of health and medicine, health communication and harm reduction, and science and technology studies.

Green Bans, Red Union
"Green Bans, Red Union documents the development of a union that took a stand on a number of social issues. Apart from the green bans movement, union members also used their industrial power to defend the rights of oppressed groups, such as Aborigines, women and homosexuals. In telling the colourful story that inspired many environmentalists and ordinary citizens - and gave the word 'green' an entirely new meaning - Meredith Burgmann and Verity Burgmann open a window on a period when Australian workers led the world in innovative and stunningly effective forms of environmental protest."--BOOK JACKET.

Marnie's Place
Book Description: Marnie’s Place is a refuge for the mentally vulnerable alienated from the helter skelter of urban life. Set in the future, the book unfolds like a series of parables meant to both humour and inspire. Its heroes are the people the world has shut out, characters who to protect themselves take on some rather unique disguises. Included in their number are an ambassador to a Belgian Queen, ‘Maybe’ perhaps the only ever Canadian Philosopher, Aristotle the second and others. Focal to the community is a renegade theologian, who connects all life’s experience to God’s way with us, especially those on the fraying edge of madness. Though not a book on mental illness, it is w...
Decolonizing Educational Assessment
This book examines the history of standardized testing in Ontario leading to the current context and its impact on racialized identities, particularly on Grade 3 students, parents, and educators. Using a theoretical argument supplemented with statistical trends, the author illuminates how EQAO tests are culturally and racially biased and promote a Eurocentric curriculum and way of life privileging white students and those from higher socio-economic status. This book spurs readers to further question the use of EQAO standardized testing and challenges us to consider alternative models which serve the needs of all students.
