5/11/2023 0 Comments Mcghee the sum of us![]() ![]() ![]() But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. From the financial crisis of 2008 to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a root problem: racism in our politics and policymaking. Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy-and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist “This is the book I’ve been waiting for.”-Ibram X. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, The Washington Post, St.WINNER OF THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD One of today’s most insightful and influential thinkers offers a powerful exploration of inequality and the lesson that generations of Americans have failed to learn: Racism has a cost for everyone-not just for people of color.LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As sure as Pythons are snakes, there was Brian/Eric nailed to the cross. Two months later, I toddled along to see The Life Of Brian, and waited for the end credits. I returned to my shiny Guild, and in the 30 seconds before the red light came on, cobbled together an opening and some chords that might work for the verse. I’ll give it a go.”Ĭometh the hour, cometh the adrenaline. One thing… could Mitch play a short intro and then accompany me before the full orchestra enters for the chorus?” John, Eric, engineer Steve (son of Sid) James and the orchestra seemed to stare directly into my surprised soul as I muttered, “Er, Okay. His original rough idea had been transformed. ![]() We duly marched into the control room to be greeted by Mr Idle. My part was a simple chord chart to which I applied the full Freddie Green shtick. With John’s flair and love for the genre, an all-star orchestra and The Fred Tomlinson singers whistling while they worked, it could hardly fail. After a couple of runs through, it didn’t sound half-bad. I’ve given his demo the full ’30s Hollywood treatment with rhythm section, brass and strings.”Īnd thus we band of minstrels set to our task with as much enthusiasm as a rush-hour trek and an early start allowed. And he’s the director! Anyway, Eric is coming to the session. Eric Idle has written it but the other Pythons aren’t keen and Terry Jones hates it. “It’s a little ditty that might be used over the end credits for the new Monty Python film,” he informed me. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments L’anatomie politique. Catégorisations et idéologies du sexe by Nicole-Claude Mathieu![]() ![]() Indeed, as I will demonstrate through several examples involving abortion, the contestation targeting these struggles often reduces their effectiveness. In this article I use specific examples (abortion and female sterilization) to argue that struggles for sexual and reproductive rights have represented or do represent a transformative force in women’s material lives furthermore, I show how these struggles can be understood as a permanent revolutionary project that is incomplete and contested and thus brings about a form of transformation that is subject to continual attack. ![]() And I have concluded that, in this specific field and geo-political region, feminism is indeed a revolution that aims to bring about certain transformations. 1 In a previous moment of dialogue and exchange 2 I sought to establish whether the concept of revolution might aid us in understanding the incisiveness of the trajectories taken by feminist struggles for sexual and reproductive health in Latin America. A reflection on the relationship between the concept of revolution and feminist and LGBTQI politics raises a series of questions that provide a stimulating framework for tracing the trajectory of struggles and debates on sexual and reproductive rights in Latin America. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Miriam toews novels![]() These are the jokes of someone trying to cling on to the mundanity of a sane world while a loved one repeatedly attempts to take her own life. To describe the tone as black humour wouldn’t quite do it justice. I remember humming that refrain over and over, singing myself to sleep with those lyrics in the days before my father kneeled in the path of a fast-moving train.” I love that she tells me this again and again but I wonder sometimes if she thinks I’m an idiot . . . Bob Marley says it too but he says every little thing gonna be all right and that strikes me as an appropriate qualifier even if all he was doing was getting enough syllables to match the music. ![]() ![]() “She hugs me in the hallway and tells me everything will be all right. One of Toews’ trademarks is the high-speed paragraph, sentences rattling at the speed of thought until it suddenly stops, pulled up by horror. ![]() Yoli’s voice is by turns dry, manic, heightened to the point of hysteria, furious and profoundly sad.

All My Puny Sorrows (a fragment of a Coleridge poem) is full of moments like this: laughter at the edge of the void. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Candide book![]() ![]() Polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and poet Alexander Pope were both famous for developing a system of thought known as philosophical optimism in an attempt to reconcile a loving Christian God with the seeming indifference of nature in disasters such as Lisbon. Voltaire was one of many philosophers, theologians and intellectuals to be deeply affected by the disaster. One of the most destructive earthquakes in history, the event had a major effect on the cultural consciousness of much of Europe. The city was reduced to ruins, and between 30,000 and 50,000 people were killed.
