A shambolically dressed man who lived with his mother for almost eighty years, he had an almost compulsive need to charm strangers with working menās club comedy routines, and appeared to exist only for daily trips to the bookie ā and yet had also amassed over five hundred of his own remarkable paintings without anyone ever realising his achievements. Towards the end of his life, Eric requested an exhibition of his work. As Joe and his family sorted through hundreds of paintings of street scenes, circus and theatre performers, and busy pubs, they began to ask more questions about Ericās life: why had this fanatically sociable man never left his motherās home? Had Eric ever experienced love when he painted it so beautifully? And what had driven him to create so much, yet share it so rarely? In this touching, funny and thoughtful investigation of the nature of expression, the ownership of art and the secret life of those nearest to us, Joe Tucker brings us into his uncleās extraordinary and compelling world. Perhaps more importantly, he also brings Eric Tuckerās lifeās work into ours. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Joe Tucker Size 4.7MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/2PX9siinOstt https://devuploads.com/17fl92gsbxm0

The Empathy Fix by Keetie Roelen (.ePUB)
š® The Empathy Fix by Keetie Roelen (.ePUB) Poverty is something we all want to see less of. So why does it prove so difficult to tackle? Can empathy help fix it? Poverty is bad for everyone. Being at the sharp end of disadvantage is shameful, reduces brainpower, and hampers positive action. It increases crime, burdens healthcare systems and raises taxpayers' bills. With millions around the world struggling to make ends meet and increased socioeconomic uncertainty making poverty a more probable prospect for many more, tackling poverty has never been more urgent. Yet, while the ultra-rich bask in the glory of superstar status, people in poverty are cast as second-rate citizens. Deeply engrained prejudice and punitive policies lead to vicious cycles of deprivation. Positive psychology that emphasises personal strengths can be empowering for some, but also feeds toxic narratives of failure and defeat. The flipside of taking credit for individual success is that the inability to achieve it is attributed to personal shortcomings. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Keetie Roelen Size 500KB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/fWtgWsANa922 https://devuploads.com/42pfi320zp74

Operation Barbarossa & Aftermath by Grzegorz RossoliÅski-Liebe(.ePUB)
š® Operation Barbarossa & Aftermath by Grzegorz RossoliÅski-Liebe(.ePUB) The 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, codenamed Operation Barbarossa, remains one of Nazi Germany's most significant military campaigns. Executed by Hitler's Wehrmacht army, this event saw troops from all over Europe defeat the Red Army and temporarily colonize large swathes of Eastern Europe, ultimately laying the groundwork for the Holocaust. In this illuminating re-examination of this multifaceted event, Operation Barbarossa and its Aftermath refocuses our attention on the multiethnic nature of the campaign, shedding light on the role of soldiers from Slovakia, Italy, Romania, and Spain as well as other important issues. This volume highlights how viewing Operation Barbarossa as a multiethnic campaign, rather than a strictly German-Russian conflict, offers new ways of understanding the Holocaust, World War II and the history of European collaboration. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Grzegorz RossoliÅski-Liebe(.Epub) Size 3MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type Operation Barbarossa & Aftermath by Grzegorz RossoliÅski-Liebe(.ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/20hV2ZZstq8L https://devuploads.com/wpft0b3fv72v

Extraordinary Bodies by Rosemarie Garland Thomson (.ePUB)
š® Extraordinary Bodies by Rosemarie Garland Thomson (.ePUB) Extraordinary Bodies is a cornerstone text of disability studies, establishing the field upon its publication in 1997. Framing disability as a minority discourse rather than a medical one, the book added depth to oppressive narratives and revealed novel, liberatory ones. Through her incisive readings of such texts as Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin and Rebecca Harding Davis's Life in the Iron Mills, Rosemarie Garland-Thomson exposed the social forces driving representations of disability. She encouraged new ways of looking at texts and their depiction of the body and stretched the limits of what counted as a text, considering freak shows and other pop culture artifacts as reflections of community rites and fears. Garland-Thomson also elevated the status of African-American novels by Toni Morrison and Audre Lorde. Extraordinary Bodies laid the groundwork for an appreciation of disability culture and an inclusive new approach to the study of social marginalization. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Rosemarie Garland Thomson Size 4MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/K5qPPs5TdKq4 https://devuploads.com/mho0syvge3j8

Turn the World Upside Down by Imani D. Owens (.ePUB)
š® Turn the World Upside Down by Imani D. Owens (.ePUB) In the first half of the twentieth century, Black hemispheric culture grappled with the legacies of colonialism, U.S. empire, and Jim Crow. As writers and performers sought to convey the terror and the beauty of Black life under oppressive conditions, they increasingly turned to the labor, movement, speech, sound, and ritual of everyday āfolk.ā Many critics have perceived these representations of folk culture as efforts to reclaim an authentic past. Imani D. Owens recasts Black creatorsā relationship to folk culture, emphasizing their formal and stylistic innovations and experiments in self-invention that reach beyond the local to the world. Turn the World Upside Down explores how Black writers and performers reimagined folk forms through the lens of the unrulyāthat which cannot be easily governed, disciplined, or managed. Drawing on a transnational and multilingual archiveāfrom Harlem to Havana, from the Panama Canal Zone to Port-au-PrinceāOwens considers the short stories of Eric Walrond and Jean Toomer; the ethnographies of Zora Neale Hurston and Jean Price-Mars; the recited poetry of Langston Hughes, NicolĆ”s GuillĆ©n, and Eusebia Cosme; and the essays, dance work, and radio plays of Sylvia Wynter. Owens shows how these figures depict folk cultureāand Blackness itselfāas a site of disruption, ambiguity, and flux. Their works reveal how Black people contribute to the stirrings of modernity while being excluded from its promises. Ultimately, these works do not seek to render folk culture more knowable or worthy of assimilation, but instead provide new forms of radical world-making. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Imani D.

Soundtrack of the Revolution by Nahid Siamdoust (.ePUB)
š® Soundtrack of the Revolution by Nahid Siamdoust (.ePUB) Music was one of the first casualties of the Iranian Revolution. It was banned in 1979, but it quickly crept back into Iranian culture and politics. The state made use of music for its propaganda during the IranāIraq war. Over time music provided an important political space where artists and audiences could engage in social and political debate. Now, more than thirty-five years on, both the children of the revolution and their music have come of age. Soundtrack of the Revolution offers a striking account of Iranian culture, politics, and social change to provide an alternative history of the Islamic Republic. Drawing on over five years of research in Iran, including during the 2009 protests, Nahid Siamdoust introduces a full cast of characters, from musicians and audience members to state officials, and takes readers into concert halls and underground performances, as well as the state licensing and censorship offices. She closely follows the work of four musiciansāa giant of Persian classical music, a government-supported pop star, a rebel rock-and-roller, and an underground rapperāeach with markedly different political views and relations with the Iranian government. Taken together, these examinations of musicians and their music shed light on issues at the heart of debates in Iranāabout its future and identity, changing notions of religious belief, and the quest for political freedom. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Nahid Siamdoust Size 8.1MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/bQ3AUhCYmGmL https://devuploads.com/2ioymvs9lcou

Enslavement by Orlando Patterson (.PDF)
š® Enslavement by Orlando Patterson (.PDF) Slavery is one of humanity's most ancient and persistent inequities. It predates the rise of civilization, played a key role in the growth of Western and Islamic cultures and was an integral part of the emergence and global spread of capitalism. Given its historical significance, it is not surprising that the problem of slavery is still passionately debated today and that modern-day trafficking and forced servitude remain key issues of public concern. In Enslavement: Past and Present, historical sociologist Orlando Patterson casts a wide net to examine the social, political, and economic complexities of slavery across different eras and societies. Patterson examines slavery at several levels of abstraction, from micro-level relations of domination to the macro-structures of entire societies. Building on the 'bundle of rights' perspective, he reevaluates the definition of slavery, exposing its variegated fabric of iniquities across tribal and advanced pre-modern societies as well as our modern globalized age. Patterson also examines the critical role of women in the history of slavery, the significance of manumission in the formation of Christian doctrine, and the devastating toll of genocide and undaunted revolt of slaves in Jamaican slave society. Concluding with an investigation of contemporary slavery and other forms of servitude, this book urges readers to reckon with the brutal legacies of the past and its alarming modern-day persistence. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Orlando Patterson Size 18.9MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type PDF š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/1VYkPd1X7g3R https://devuploads.com/7rvkb7m6nhdc

In searing prose, punctuated with personal accounts from LGBTQ+ people from across the globe, Jones sets out not only the issues but also practical actions, both big and small, that all of us can take to help create a more equal society. What's more, she shines a spotlight on the amazing individuals already working hard to change things. Whether you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or simply care about human rights and equality, Outrage is essential, and illuminating, reading. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Ellen Jones Size 1.1MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/y3myGpSn0GXG https://devuploads.com/ir8wzzoymswt
