        An Apple of Good Hopes

        by Holoborodko Vasyl

        Selected poems from almost all of his poetry collections are included in the book by Vasyl‘ Holoborod‘ko (born in 1945), a prominent representative of the Kyiv School of Poets, one of the most famous Ukrainian poets in the world literary context of the 20th Century. Despite Soviet censorship and persecutions, the poet managed to remain a nonconformist, making a significant contribution to the literary process. At one time, the anthology of the world poetry of the 20th century was published in Belgrade, with a telling title From the Bengalee Rabindranath Tagore to the Ukrainian Vasyl‘ Holoborod‘ko. In 1966, Holoborodko wrote a prophetic poem that began as follows, "They stole my name..." And in 2016, his name was stolen from him when his name was given to the main character of the entertainment TV show Servant of the People... Nevertheless, as history proves, the Poet also has a chance to win. But, perhaps, only after earthly life...

        Washington Bullets

        by Vijay Prashad

        Washington Bullets is written in the best traditions of Marxist journalism and history-writing. It is a book of fluent and readable stories, full of detail about US imperialism, but never letting the minutiae obscure the larger political point. It is a book that could easily have been a song of despair – a lament of lost causes; it is, after all, a roll call of butchers and assassins; of plots against people’s movements and governments; of the assassinations of socialists, Marxists, communists all over the Third World by the country where liberty is a statue. Despite all this, Washington Bullets is a book about possibilities, about hope, about genuine heroes. One such is Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso – also assassinated – who said: ‘You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future.’ Washington Bullets is a book infused with this madness, the madness that dares to invent the future.

        The Case Against Conversion "Therapy"

        Evidence, Ethics, and Alternatives

        by Douglas C. Haldeman

        Many LGBTQ youth are still forced into harmful “treatments” with devastating mental health consequences. This volume explores the history, effects, and danger of so-called conversion therapy.Because conversion “therapy” is not actually therapeutic, it is now more accurately referred to as sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) or gender identity change efforts (GICE). What does the record show about the efficacy and effects of SOCE and GICE? What motivates individuals to seek these harmful treatments, either for themselves or for their children? This book synthesizes findings from a vast literature base to answer these and other important questions, in hopes of fully discrediting SOCE and GICE once and for all. Over the last four decades, considerable research has showed SOCE to be not only ineffective, but harmful. As a result of these findings, professional organizations such as the American Psychological Association (APA) have denounced the practice and recommended affirmative, supportive treatment instead. Although SOCE have been widely discredited, they remain legal in most states and continue to be practiced with lesbian, gay, and bisexual children and adolescents. Furthermore, as the past 20 years have seen an increase in gender nonconforming and transgender individuals, there has been a similar rise in efforts to socially reprogram gender nonconforming children and adolescents. This volume is grounded in the principle long embraced by the scientific and healthcare communities—that same-sex attraction and gender nonconformity are not signs of psychopathology. Rather, sexual and gender minority individuals should be supported in embracing their own identities. This affirmative approach to practice with sexual and gender minorities is consistent with decades of APA policy and ethics.

        Sexually Nonconforming Latinas Negotiate Family

        by Acosta, Katie L

        Amigas y Amantes (Friends and Lovers) explores the experiences of sexually nonconforming Latinas in the creation and maintenance of families. It is based on forty-two in-depth enthnographic interviews with women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, or queer (LBQ) and draws from fourteen months of participant observation at LBQ Latina events that Katie L. Acosta conducted in 2007 and 2008 in a major northeast city. The book examines how LBQ Latinas manage loving relationships with the families who raised them, and with their partners, their children, and their friends.

        THERE IS NO TIME TO BE SAD

        by LICIA FERTZ, EMANUELE USAI

        "When you are almost ninety, thinking about the past can be dangerous, because sadness can knock on your back. Even thinking about the future is not easy, when you are closer to sunset ithan to dawn. A happy life means looking to the present. Happy New Year is for girls, enjoy the present for ladies.» How many have felt the temptation to give up their arms and let go, after great pain? It also happened  Licia, on the death of her beloved Aldo, her husband for sixty-two years, four months and two days. The colors  faded, the silence invaded the house, the hours began to pass all the same. It was then that her nephew Emanuele invented a "game" to distract her: taking a picture of her every day in colorful clothes and impeccable makeup. And the most important accessory: that smile (perhaps a little toothless) that she had lost. From a small sprout, that love for life that Licia has always brought with her, and the curious and nonconformist spirit that allowed her to face all the turning points of her long life, blossomed again.

        SELF-ish: A Transgender Awakening

        by Chloe Schwenke

        SELF-ISH IS A NARRATIVE DRAWN FROM AN INTERNATIONAL LIFE, beginning with some early glimpses out at the world by a girl in a boy’s body. Chloe was raised as Stephen in a Marine Corps family and was sent off at age 14 to “man up” at a military academy. Later—and still embodied as a man—she ventured abroad to work in some of the roughest regions of Africa, the Gaza Strip, Turkey, and many other locales. Her far-flung global journey was matched in intensity by an inner identity and spiritual struggle and the associated ravages of depression, before she came to the revelation of being a transgender woman. At a time when many Americans are just waking up to the reality of the transgender phenomenon, this portrayal of Chloe’s life, her challenging gender transition, and her many accomplishments and adventures along the way (including being among the first three transgender political appointees in U.S. history, under President Obama), creates a poignant story of authenticity, self-discovery, and the meaning of gender set against a fascinating international backdrop.

        How Words Work in Worship

        by Cally Hammond

        Cally Hammond looks at how words function as carriers of semantic content (communicating facts and doctrines; telling stories; articulating emotions and spiritual perceptions) and then contrasts this with words as they function as physical entities striking the ear, so as to evoke emotions, memories and spiritual perceptions. This basic antithesis between words as carriers of meaning and words as evokers of feeling, emotion, and memory leads to four chapters that explore in fascinating detail the four main aspects of liturgical speech: posture, repetition, rhythm and punctuation.

        The Benefits of Passion

        by Catherine Fox

        Annie Brown, wrestling with doubts about her faith and a biological clock the size of Big Ben, escapes the stifling kindness of her fellow ordinands and the stifled yelps of her sexuality by writing a raunchy novel. Yet Annie can no more control her characters than she could a congregation. Outrageous Isabella and butter-wouldn’t-melt Barney hurtle unbidden into difficult situations that lead Annie inexorably back to her own repressed upbringing and present predicament. Some of their liberation rubs off on her too, and when she meets brusque outsider Will, Annie plunges into passion as uninhibitedly as Isabella. But Annie’s vocation, like her libido, won’t lie down, and she despairs of finding a happy ending to either of her stories . . .

        Staying Safe at Work

        A Guide to Occupational Safety & Health

        by Ho Xiaojun, Chuah Chong Ken

        Organisations that lack a proper occupational safety and health practitioner or system are vulnerable workplaces. Think of your organisation as a football team and the occupational safety and health practitioner as your goalkeeper. You could have the best players on your team but without a goalkeeper, your team will be “battling” without the last line of defence.   This book provides an insight into the various theories on how accidents occur, the establishment of relevant laws and organisations, and the current applications of workplace safety measures. With case studies drawn from the authors’ experience, this book also provides a brief overview of Malaysia’s laws and practices related to workplace safety and dedicates a chapter to mental health management in the workplace.    Click here for more information

        Queering Chinese Kinship

        Queer Public Culture in Globalizing China

        by Lin Song

        What does it mean to be queer in a Confucian society in which kinship roles, ties, and ideologies are of such great importance? This book makes sense of queer cultures in China—a country with one of the largest queer populations in the world—and offers an alternative to Euro-American blueprints of queer individual identity. This book contends that kinship relations must be understood as central to any expression of queer selfhood and culture in contemporary cultural production in China. Using a critical approach—“queering Chinese kinship”—Lin Song scrutinizes the relationship between queerness and family relations, and questions Eurocentric queer culture’s frequent assumption of the separation of queerness from blood family.   Offering five case studies of queer representations across a range of media genres, this book also challenges the tendency in current scholarship on Chinese and East Asian queerness to understand queer cultures as predominantly counter-mainstream, marginal, and underground. Shedding light on the representations of queerness and kinship in independent and subcultural as well as commercial and popular cultural products, the book presents a more comprehensive picture of queerness and kinship in flux and highlights queer politics as an integral part of contemporary Chinese public culture.
