L'italiano antico s'intreccia con l'inevitabile espressione dei giorni d'oggi, spade fuggenti che trafiggono omicide e dialoghi in rima. Sheyla Bobba finalmente ha espresso la sua anima, tenuta chiusa per anni, imprigionata tra fogli, caratteri delle macchine da scrivere e file di pc, oggi esprime le donne che creano la donna che è, che vive in eterno conflitto. Come i poeti del '800, maledetta ed ossessionata. Riuscita nell'impresa di rendere accattivante.Tavi ed Eva, le donne che scrivono, Sheyla che supervisiona e firma ogni parola.Donne con me è una sfida, da raccogliere rileggendo diverse volte ogni verso. Ci si renderà conto, solo allora, solo dopo uno studio accurato, che cambiano forma e contenuto di continuo, in base al proprio stato d'animo, alla propria situazione, ai propri pensieri. Donne con me è una sfida, da cogliere solo se si prende la decisione di guardarsi all'interno ed interrogarsi e comprendere che ogni donna, non è mai una sola.
Sheyla Bobba è nata nel 1978 a Savona. Attualmente vive a Torino. Ha formato il suo carattere da giovanissima, vivendo momenti difficili e intensi e portando indelebile e visibile il profilo di chi ha sofferto non inutilmente. Nel 2001 arriva la diagnosi di Fibromialgia, dopo una lunga sofferenza fisica ed un iter estenuante. Sin dall’infanzia scrive poesie. Nei suoi numerosi spostamenti da gitana molti di quei fogli sono andati persi, altri distrutti, solo pochi pubblicati in una raccolta “Donne con me”. Sono numerose le opere concluse che adesso andranno a seguire, racconti brevi e romanzi, tutti con un solo comune denominatore: la Vita intesa come immenso dono, come sacrificio e co...
Participation of beneficiaries in the monitoring of public services is increasingly seen as a key to improving their efficiency. In India, the current government flagship program on universal primary education organizes both locally elected leaders and parents of children enrolled in public schools into committees and gives these groups powers over resource allocation, and monitoring and management of school performance. However, in a baseline survey we found that people were not aware of the existence of these committees and their potential for improving education. This paper evaluates three different interventions to encourage beneficiaries' participation through these committees: providin...
An assessment of the relationship between race and poverty in the United States, and potential solutions for the issue. Renowned American sociologist William Julius Wilson takes a look at the social transformation of inner-city ghettos, offering a sharp evaluation of the convergence of race and poverty. Rejecting both conservative and liberal interpretations of life in the inner city, Wilson offers essential information and several solutions to policymakers. The Truly Disadvantaged is a wide-ranging examination, looking at the relationship between race, employment, and education from the 1950s onwards, with surprising and provocative findings. This second edition also includes a new afterwor...
Draws attention to growing distinctions within the Black community as impoverished Blacks grow less and less able to compete with educated Blacks for social status, economic rewards, and power
Wilson, one of our foremost authorities on race and poverty, challenges decades of liberal and conservative pieties to look squarely at the devastating effects that joblessness has had on our urban ghettos. Marshaling a vast array of data and the personal stories of hundreds of men and women, Wilson persuasively argues that problems endemic to America's inner cities--from fatherless households to drugs and violent crime--stem directly from the disappearance of blue-collar jobs in the wake of a globalized economy. Wilson's achievement is to portray this crisis as one that affects all Americans, and to propose solutions whose benefits would be felt across our society. At a time when welfare is ending and our country's racial dialectic is more strained than ever, When Work Disappears is a sane, courageous, and desperately important work. "Wilson is the keenest liberal analyst of the most perplexing of all American problems...[This book is] more ambitious and more accessible than anything he has done before." --The New Yorker

A new publication presenting an overview of the work of Samoan-born New Zealand-based alphabet and advertising designer Joseph Churchward [1932]. The publication compiles archive material, correspondence, realised and un-realised designwork, alphabet designs and in-dispersed with essays surrounding aspects of Churchward's practice by New Zealand and overseas writers and designers. It attempts to tell a story in process of New Zealand's most prolific designer of letters to date.
The story you've been telling about what happened in the grove-or the Garden of Eden, as you call it-bears extraordinarily little resemblance to what actually happened. If you do not like how the world works, go ahead-blame Ari. But do not blame him for your transgressions. It will surprise you what he has sacrificed in support of Father's ambitions. Ari embarks on a journey he has taken many times before, but this time he is determined to complete his quest, and to do so, he must contend with his family. What you think you know of Ari's relationship with Father is wrong, and you know nothing at all about his grandmother. His siblings-yes, he has them, too-complicate all matters, but this time around might those complications be thoughtful gifts? Upon completing this tale, your understanding of the world will hopefully be profoundly challenged. But what you will have learned about Ari will change what you think of the Devil.
