Free Download Ana Cristina Santos, "LGBTQ+ Intimacies in Southern Europe: Citizenship, Care and Choice "
English | ISBN: 3031135075 | 2023 | 267 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This Open Access book argues that Southern European countries offer valuable, though historically overlooked, knowledge regarding intimate citizenship. Guided by the fundamental sociological question of how change takes place and, concomitantly, how law and social policy adjust to and/or shape the practices and expectations of individuals in the sphere of intimacy, this edited volume explores partnering, parenting and friendship issues from the perspective of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people in Italy, Portugal and Spain. Chapters offer a cross-national understanding of the relationship between everyday practices of intimacy amongst LGBTQ people and national legal, political and policy contexts in terms of the recognition of otherwise 'intimate strangers'. The book contributes to further theoretical and policy debates about citizenship, care and choice, as well as, more broadly, sexuality, welfare, health and justice.

This book presents descriptions of interventions, results of empirical research, and theoretical contributions developed by Latine/x psychologists based on affirmative approaches aimed at promoting acceptance and understanding of LGBTIQ+ people. Contributions in this volume bring together the work of Latine/x scholars, practitioners, and activists across five Latin American countries or territories (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Puerto Rico) and in the United States, in an effort to provide multicultural perspectives to LGBTIQ+ affirmative psychological interventions that highlight local, regional and national particularities. Chapters in this volume go beyond contributions made by applied psychology fields (e.g., clinical and counselling psychology), where affirmative orientations are predominantly located, and include contributions from other fields of psychological research such as social and community psychology.

Free Download Letters to Palestine: Writers Respond to War and Occupation By Vijay Prashad
2015 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1784780677 | EPUB | 1 MB
Operation Protective Edge, Israel's seven-week bombing campaign and ground invasion of Gaza in the summer of 2014, resulted in half a million displaced Gazans, tens of thousands of destroyed homes, and more than 2,000 deaths-and, yet, it was only the latest in a long series of assaults endured by Palestinians isolated in Gaza. But, following the conflict, polls revealed a startling fact: for the first time, a majority of Americans under thirty found Israel's actions unjustified. Jon Stewart aired a blistering attack on Israeli violence, and a video of a UN spokesperson weeping as he was interviewed in Gaza went viral, appearing on Vanity Fair and Buzzfeed, among other sites. This book traces this swelling American recognition of Palestinian suffering, struggle, and hope, in writing that is personal, lyrical, anguished, and inspiring. Some of the leading writers of our time, such as Junot Díaz and Teju Cole, poets and essayists, novelists and scholars, Palestinian American activists like Huwaida Arraf, Noura Erakat, and Remi Kanazi, give voice to feelings of empathy and solidarity-as well as anger at US support for Israeli policy-in intimate letters, beautiful essays, and furious poems. This is a landmark work of controversial, committed literary writing.

Free Download Letters of the law : race and the fantasy of colorblindness in American law By Han, Sora Y.
2015 | 165 Pages | ISBN: 0804789118 | PDF | 2 MB
"How should we understand legal colorblindness today? In Letters of the Law, Sora Han argues that colorblindness is not simply a racial ideology of American jurisprudence--it is also a fantasy structuring of legal interpretation itself. Letters of the Law traces the fantasy of colorblindness across iconic Supreme Court cases on citizenship, segregation, criminal procedure, internment, affirmative action, prisoner rights, and sexual freedom. Through these original readings, Han reveals that unresolved legal legacies of racial slavery remain at the core of some of the most urgent social issues of our time. Ultimately, in Letters of the Law, diverse histories of civil rights reform converge as the ongoing practice of black freedom struggle"--Back cover.
