WER HAT DIE MACHT ZU HASSEN? – Erkundung eines politischen Gefühls. Der Hass, dieses knirschende, zersetzende Gefühl, ist allgegenwärtig. Er brüllt von den Straßen oder flüstert in gutbürgerlicher Feindseligkeit. Er wächst in Parlamentsreden, Querköpfen und Kinderzimmern, und ganz bestimmt nicht im Verborgenen, auch wenn viele ihn gerne dorthin verdammen würden. Şeyda Kurt holt den Hass raus aus der Verbannung und begibt sich auf die Spuren seines widerständigen Potentials.

Wokeness ist ein Kampfbegriff geworden. Das gilt sowohl für die Befürworter wie die Gegner einer Einstellung, die sich selbst als "wach" oder "aufmerksam" bezeichnet. Es gibt wenig sachlich begründete Auseinandersetzungen, dafür umso mehr Empörung. In diesem Buch werden zentrale Elemente von Wokeness kritisch geprüft: der Vorwurf der kulturellen Aneignung, die Forderung nach geschlechtergerechter Sprache, die Rede von strukturellem Rassismus, das Instrument der Cancel Culture und die Einführung einer geschlechtlichen Diversität.

When Chrissy King first joined a gym, she had one goal in mind: to “get skinny.” In pursuit of this goal, she fell into the all-too-common cycle of “not enough-ness”; no matter what she achieved, there was always something she felt she needed to change about her body, her appearance, herself. This made her realize the most liberating truth of all: She was not the problem. The Body Liberation Project is about finding actual freedom in our bodies by discovering strength and aspects of fitness, movement, and eating that work for YOU.

The term killjoy has been used to dismiss feminism by claiming that it causes misery. But by naming ourselves feminist killjoys, we recover a feminist history, turning it into a source of strength as well as an inspiration. Drawing on her own stories and those of others, especially Black and brown feminists and queer thinkers, Sara Ahmed combines depth of thought with honesty and intimacy. The Feminist Killjoy Handbook unpicks the lies our culture tells us and provides a form of solidarity and companionship that can be returned to over a lifetime.

Editors Ann Todd Jealous and Caroline T.

Part thesis, part memoir, and part poetry, this book is unlike any other therapeutic text. Psychotherapist and writer Foluke Taylor explores how the centering of Black women’s experiences in therapeutic scholarship allows for greater space―space for wandering, for wondering, and for deepening narratives―in every therapeutic relationship.

In 1963, a female student was attending a lecture given by Nobel Prize winner James Watson, then tenured at Harvard. At nineteen, she was struggling to define her future. She had given herself just ten years to fulfill her professional ambitions before starting the family she was expected to have. For women at that time, a future on the usual path of academic science was unimaginable—but during that lecture, young Nancy Hopkins fell in love with the promise of genetics. Confidently believing science to be a pure meritocracy, she embarked on a career.

Was bedeutet es, eine Ost-Identität auferlegt zu bekommen? Eine Identität, die für die rasant wachsende gesellschaftliche Spaltung verantwortlich gemacht wird? Der Attribute wie Populismus, ein mangelndes Demokratieverständnis, Rassismus, Verschwörungsmythen und Armut zugeschrieben werden? Der Leipziger Germanist Dirk Oschmann zeigt in seinem augenöffnenden Text, dass der Westen sich über dreißig Jahre nach Mauerfall als Norm definiert und den Osten als Abweichung. Unsere Medien, Politik, Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft werden von westdeutschen Perspektiven dominiert.

Riffing on everything from home and family to multiculturalism and the mass media, Hooks and Mesa-Bains invite listeners to re-examine and confront the polarizing mainstream discourse about Black-Latino relationships that is too often negative in its emphasis on political splits between people of color. A work of activism through dialogue, Homegrown is a declaration of solidarity that rings true even ten years after its first publication.

Mujer europea y africana a la vez, binacional, francesa y gambiana, judía con orígenes cristianos y musulmanes, animista antes de la islamización de África occidental, blanca y negra, hoy quiero mostrar todas mis cartas: me siento cómoda con mi piel. Y menos mal, ya que si fuera racista, con todas esas "razas" dentro de mí, me resultaría inevitable odiarme a mí misma. Si es necesario que haya una representación de los negros, ¿qué es ser negro? ¿Un negro de ciudad es lo mismo que un negro de campo? La única regla de la que disponemos es una prueba esclavista. Qué lindo.

As Black people, we are more likely to face a traumatic experience or suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But being Black is about more than the violence that has been perpetrated against us. It also means living a life of dignity and self-worth.

Jennifer Shepard Payne presents culturally tailored acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) skills to help you heal from trauma, so you can live a meaningful life that is in tune with your own values.
