A Novel

#1 New York Times Bestseller “Go Set a Watchman is such an important book, perhaps the most important novel on race to come out of the white South in decades." — New York Times A landmark novel by Harper Lee, set two decades after her beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch—“Scout”—returns home to Maycomb, Alabama from New York City to visit her aging father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise’s homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town, and the people dearest to her. Memories from her childhood flood back, and her values and assumptions are thrown into doubt. Featuring many of the iconic characters from To Kill a Mockingbird, Go Set a Watchman perfectly captures a young woman, and a world, in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past—a journey that can only be guided by one’s own conscience. Written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman imparts a fuller, richer understanding and appreciation of the late Harper Lee. Here is an unforgettable novel of wisdom, humanity, passion, humor, and effortless precision—a profoundly affecting work of art that is both wonderfully evocative of another era and relevant to our own times. It not only confirms the enduring brilliance of To Kill a Mockingbird, but also serves as its essential companion, adding depth, context, and new meaning to an American classic.

Women Write the World: Essays on Equality, Justice, and Freedom

All the Women in My Family Sing is an anthology documenting the experiences of women of color at the dawn of the twenty-first century. It is a vital collection of prose and poetry whose topics range from the pressures of being the vice-president of a Fortune 500 Company, to escaping the killing fields of Cambodia, to the struggles inside immigration, identity, romance, and self-worth. These brief, trenchant essays capture the aspirations and wisdom of women of color as they exercise autonomy, creativity, and dignity andbuild bridges to heal the brokenness in today's turbulent world.Sixty-nine authors -- African American, Asian American, Chicana, Native American, Cameroonian, South African, Korean, LGBTQI -- lend their voices to broaden cross-cultural understanding and to build bridges to each other's histories and daily experiences of life.America Ferrera's essay is from her powerful speech at the Women's March in Washington D.C.;Natalie Baszile writes about her travels to Louisiana to research Queen Sugar and finding the "painful truths" her father experienced in the "belly of segregation;"Porochista Khakpour tells us what it is like to fly across America under the Muslim travel ban;Lalita Tademy writes about her transition from top executive at Sun Microsystems to NY Times bestselling author.This anthology is monumental and timely as human rights and justice are being challenged around the world. It is a watershed title, not only written, but produced entirely by women of color, including the publishing, editing, process management, book cover design, and promotions. Our vision is to empower underrepresented voices and to impact the world of publishing in America -- particularly important in a time when 80% of people who work in publishing self-identify as white (as found recently in a study by Lee & Low Books, and reported on NPR).

Cuando Era Puertorriqueña

Francisco Jiménez

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Thema: Int. Organisationen u. Verbände, Note: 1,7, Universität Konstanz, Veranstaltung: Nichtstaatliche politische Organisationen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der vorliegenden Hausarbeit sollen die Ansätze von Mancur Olson (Die Logik des Kollektiven Handelns. Kollektivgüter und die Theorie der Gruppen), James Coleman (Macht und Gesellschaftsstruktur), Dieter Rucht (Parteien, Verbände und Bewegungen als Systeme politischer Interessenvermittlung) und Walter Powell (Weder Markt noch Hierarchie. Netzwerkartige Organisationsformen), zu ihrer Aussagekraft bezüglich gemeinschaftsbasierter AIDS Organisatio-nen untersucht werden. Die Gruppe der gemeinschafts-basierten AIDS Organisationen stellen im Feld der nichtstaatlichen politischen Organisationen einen besonderen Vertreter dar. Ihr grundlegender Unterschied im vergleich zu anderen Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen besteht laut Kenis darin, dass sie nicht nur für die betroffenen Gruppen, sondern mehrheitlich von diesen Gruppen selbst ins Leben gerufen worden sind (Kenis 2000: 124).Ich möchte mich in meinen Ausführungen nicht auf gemeinschafts-basierte AIDS Or-ganisationen in aller Welt beziehen, sondern hauptsächlich auf die gemeinschafts-basierte AIDS Organisation ACT-UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power; http://www.actupny.org/ index.html), um das Thema in der Kürze einer Hausarbeit angemessen bearbeiten zu können und um meine Ausführungen mit praktischen Erläuterungen und Beispielen dieser Organisation zu untermauern. ACT-UP soll dabei stellvertretendes Beispiel für viele westlichen ge-meinschafts-basierten AIDS Organisationen sein, die sich im Gegensatz zu afrikanischen oder asiatischen Organisationen anfangs fast ausschließlich aus der Gruppe der durch Bluttransfu-sionen mit dem HI-Virus infizierten Personen und aus der Gruppe der mit AIDS infizierten Homosexuellen gründeten (Kenis 2000: 128). Ursprünglich wurde ACT-UP 1987, 6 Jahre nach der ersten Identifizierung des HI-Virus, in New York gegründet und konnte sich in den letzten fast zwei Jahrzehnten nach Angaben von ACT-UP in über 70 weitere Städte und Regi-onen in den USA und weltweit ausbreiten (http://www.actupny.org/documents/capsule-home.html). ACT-UP nimmt daher eine weitgehende Vorreiterrolle unter den gemeinschafts-basierten AIDS Organisationen ein und stellt ein sehr erfolgreiches und engagiertes Beispiel dar. Deshalb scheint es mir angemessen, ACT-UP als Maßstab für die Überprüfung der Aus-sagkraft der verschiedenen Ansätze zu gemeinschafts-basierten AIDS Organisationen zu nehmen.
