You Can't Stop the Revolution Community Disorder and Social Ties in Post-Ferguson America
Andrea S. Boyles, "You Can't Stop the Revolution: Community Disorder and Social Ties in Post-Ferguson America"
English | ISBN: 0520298322 | 2019 | 240 pages | EPUB | 567 KB
You Can't Stop the Revolution is a vivid participant ethnography conducted from inside of Ferguson protests as the Black Lives Matter movement catapulted onto the global stage. Sociologist Andrea S. Boyles offers an everyday montage of protests, social ties, and empowerment that coalesced to safeguard black lives while igniting unprecedented twenty-first‑century resistance. Focusing on neighborhood crime prevention and contentious black citizen-police interactions in the context of preserving black lives, this book examines how black citizens work to combat disorder, crime, and police conflict. Boyles offers an insider's analysis of cities like Ferguson, where a climate of indifference leaves black neighborhoods vulnerable to conflict, where black lives are seemingly expendable, and where black citizens are held responsible for their own oppression.

You Can't Eat Freedom Southerners and Social Justice after the Civil Rights Movement
Greta de Jong, "You Can't Eat Freedom: Southerners and Social Justice after the Civil Rights Movement"
English | ISBN: 1469654792 | 2016 | 320 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Two revolutions roiled the rural South after the mid-1960s: the political revolution wrought by the passage of civil rights legislation, and the ongoing economic revolution brought about by increasing agricultural mechanization. Political empowerment for black southerners coincided with the transformation of southern agriculture and the displacement of thousands of former sharecroppers from the land. Focusing on the plantation regions of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, Greta de Jong analyzes how social justice activists responded to mass unemployment by lobbying political leaders, initiating antipoverty projects, and forming cooperative enterprises that fostered economic and political autonomy, efforts that encountered strong opposition from free market proponents who opposed government action to solve the crisis.

Julie Gumm, "You Can Adopt Without Debt: Creative Ways to Cover the Cost of Adoption"
English | ISBN: 1426793006 | 2015 | 224 pages | EPUB | 501 KB
Many families want to adopt, but do not have the large amount of money it takes to complete a private domestic or international adoption. Some quickly give up the idea of adopting and are left feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and discouraged. Those who choose to proceed often take out large loans or borrow from family and friends which adds to the financial pressure on the family. Author Julie Gumm shares proven strategies from her own experience as well as from others that include applying for grants, creative budgeting, and fundraising that prospective adoptive parents can use to prepare for and avoid those high costs associated with adoption.

Yemen the Search for a Modern State
J.E. Peterson, "Yemen: the Search for a Modern State "
English | ISBN: 1138184365 | 2017 | 221 pages | EPUB | 563 KB
The development of North Yemen in the twentieth century was one of the most interesting features of the Arabian Peninsula. After the traumas of the civil war which embroiled Nasser's Egypt, the country emerged from its traditional tribal heritage into the modern world. Sandwiched between Saudi Arabia and Marxist South Yemen, the country had an awkward and delicate problem in balancing its political affiliations and in resisting external pressure on its internal affairs. This book, first published in 1982, traces the history of the Yemen from the 1930s and looks at the way in which the traditional political structures were modernised and how the country coped with these strains both internally and externally.

Xinjiang and the Chinese State Violence in the Reform Era
Debasish Chaudhuri, "Xinjiang and the Chinese State: Violence in the Reform Era"
English | ISBN: 0367345110 | 2019 | 330 pages | EPUB | 1514 KB
This book focuses on the nature of ethno-national conflicts and impacts of ideological orientation of the Communist Party of China (CPC) towards the national question in the context of Han nationalism and political, economic and security policies towards Xinjiang. Violence in Xinjiang since the mid-1990s is projected as one of the major national security challenges for China, along with issues pertaining to Tibet and Taiwan. The author argues that the post-Mao reformist model may have been a beneficial economic and political innovation, but failed in dealing with regional conflicts and unrests arising out of the demands for independence, freedom, greater autonomy and assertion of democratic and civic rights.

Xenotropism and the Awakening of Literary Expatriatism through Writing Memoirs
Christine Velde, "Xenotropism and the Awakening of Literary Expatriatism through Writing Memoirs"
English | ISBN: 1681082845 | 2016 | 125 pages | EPUB | 300 KB
Although there have been many discussions about challenges faced by individuals going through East to West migrations, there are few literary accounts about such migrations. Yet these migrations are becoming more frequent now due to advances in technology and the fact that a writer's work can now involve an increasingly global audience. One way of expressing these challenges is through writing memoirs. Xenotropism and the Awakening of Literary Expatriatism through Writing Memoirs about China exemplifies the craft of memoirs written while living in a foreign country and explains how this is different from writing from home. The book is a theoretical analysis of xenotropism based on the work of three prominent writers in China's history: Emily Hahn, Nien Cheng and Qiu Xiaolong. The author explores the relationship between xenotropism (turning towards foreign ideals and practices), its complexities and challenges, and the writing of a memoir and its impact on mental health. This discourse will contribute to new knowledge in the field of creative writing and Asian studies by illustrating how xenotropism or 'turning towards foreign ideals and practices' results in both personal and artistic development and builds an understanding and acceptance of different cultures within an individual. These processes of change and understanding, in turn, facilitate the writing of a memoir, which is a cathartic process having a positive effect on one's mental state. Readers interested in creative writing or Asian literary studies will be able to understand the creative process behind writing memoirs from a combination of personal, research-based, literary and theoretical perspectives.
