In this innovative new study, Laura Halperin examines literary representations of harm inflicted on Latinas’ minds and bodies, and on the places Latinas inhabit, but she also explores how hope can be found amid so much harm. Analyzing contemporary memoirs and novels by Irene Vilar, Loida Maritza Pérez, Ana Castillo, Cristina García, and Julia Alvarez, she argues that the individual harm experienced by Latinas needs to be understood in relation to the collective histories of aggression against their communities. Intersections of Harm is more than just a nuanced examination of the intersections among race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality. It also explores the intersections of deviance and defiance, individual and collective, and mind, body, and place. Halperin proposes that, ironically, the harmful ascriptions of Latina deviance are tied to the hopeful expressions of Latina defiance. While the Latina protagonists’ defiance feeds into the labels of deviance imposed on them, it also fuels the protagonists’ ability to resist such harmful treatment. In this analysis, Halperin broadens the parameters of literary studies of female madness, as she compels us to shift our understanding of where madness lies. She insists that the madness readily attributed to individual Latinas is entwined with the madness of institutional structures of oppression, and she maintains that psychological harm is bound together with physical and geopolitical harm. In her pan-Latina study, Halperin shows how each writer’s work emerges from a unique set of locales and histories, but she also traces a network of connections among them. Bringing together concepts from feminism, postcolonialism, illness studies, and ecocriticism, Intersections of Harm opens up exciting new avenues for Latina/o studies.

Healthcare professionals and health science librarians need to know more than research practices and clinical knowledge to become transformational individuals and leaders in their field. Empathy and compassion; appreciation for the various social and cultural contexts of health, care, and illness; and utilizing the contributions the arts, humanities, and humanistic social sciences can add depth and dimension to their work. While librarians are not usually the healthcare professionals themselves, they serve an important role in the development of healthcare professionals through their work in educational and/or healthcare settings, helping train others in the goals of the curriculum and in lifelong learning-related habits of mind. This book offers librarians an opportunity to learn about and develop approaches to the health humanities, for their benefit and the benefit of their constituents and stakeholders, as well as for impacting the future health care professionals of our global community. In addition to foundational contents on the history of the health humanities, this book approaches the health humanities from a wealth of angles including archives and special collections, collection development, privacy, biases, empathy, skills development through writing and programming engagement, and through consideration of special populations and more. Beyond essential health humanities grounding and topical perspectives, this book shares valuable pedagogical and instructional approaches and outreach strategies for bringing librarians into conversation with campus departments, curricular pathways, instructors’ goals, and learners’ needs. These modifiable, adaptable techniques will allow readers to develop the confidence and tools they need to bring the health humanities to their institutions, and will help the perspectives and skillsets of the health humanities flourish among the next generation of health care professionals.

Who Am I? is the first book in a series (The Who Am I? Series) that answers the big questions of life. Does God exist? Why is there evil and suffering in the world if there is a loving God? Is God truly good? What is the science of the day showing us about the God question? Do we really know what we think we know? Is that knowledge satisfying our life's issues? Who am I? These are just a few of the questions tackled in this first book. Who Am I? gives a broad view of what reality is and the worldview that accurately accounts for all of it. In an honest pursuit of truth, Walt Tracy takes the reader on a detective's search in this first book of the series, and the answers found do not always follow the standard theology of the day and may not be politically correct. Fasten your seat belts for a book like no other that will challenge you to think deeply, reconsider areas you may have already "answered," and give you the information needed to truly satisfy the questions of this life. Do you really want to know who you are? This series will answer that question, and the journey begins with this book! The Who Am I? Series of books work together to give a full picture of our identity by starting in book 1 with an explanation of all of reality. The following books explain humanity as a whole and finally the individual life""who you are, how you operate, and how to correctly use that knowledge. This information will help you make decisions that can change your life today and revolutionize the rest of your life's journey.

What is it like to live a life that is impossible? For many sex workers, life is lived at the crossroads of exclusion and assimilation, a crossroads where one is beset by vulnerability and regulation, where one is simultaneously blamed, victimized, and infantilized. Within this context of heteronormativity, sex working experiences are defined by multiple and overlapping forms of marginalization. Social support services are widely thought to provide a crucial bulwark against such unlivable realities by empowering service users to manage (and even overcome) their oppressive circumstances. Yet, such services are themselves often entangled with the social, cultural, and political processes that engender the disavowal of “sex” as a form of “work” and the attendant marginalization of sex workers. Bringing together insights from Judith Butler and intersectionality, Livable Intersections: Re/Framing Sex Work at the Frontline investigates the dynamics of frontline policy practice and in livability offers a new vision for designing, implementing, and valuing sex worker support services.

The safety and protection of all children, now and in the future, is of paramount importance for the well-being of both humankind and the planet. Currently, the world's children are experiencing unprecedented levels of uncertainty and insecurity, taking a significant toll on their physical and psychological well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread instability, while inequity and injustice are becoming increasingly apparent. The rise of authoritarian regimes, coupled with the devastating impacts of climate change, as well as wars, civil unrest, and loss of livelihoods, have led to increased forced migration and exploitation of vulnerable populations. Furthermore, geopolitical developments, as well as rising costs of living and fears of a global recession, pose significant threats to the advancement of child rights. Despite these setbacks, considerable progress has been made in improving the rights and wellbeing of children. For instance, polio has almost been eradicated globally, and school enrolment levels are beginning to recover following the COVID-19 pandemic. These are positive signs of our ability to work together to tackle entrenched social problems that affect children. This progress indicates that practical solutions can be implemented to create better opportunities and conditions. This book seeks to bring cohesion to the fragmented field of child protection with a new global approach and framework. The approach is rights-based, public-health focused, and seeks to enhance the capacities of all children by keeping them safe and protected. The aim is a childhood free from violence, and one in which children's voice and agency, according to their age and maturity, are recognized. Whether the reader is actively engaged in these issues or personally curious, valuable perspectives on the current landscape of child protection are offered. The highlighting of the profound impact of climate change, poverty, conflict, and exclusion on the lives and protection of children makes it a timely contribution to the literature. Written by an international group of experts and practitioners the chapters address the most pressing concerns in this complex area, including labour, trafficking, migration, adoption, foster care and alternative care, war, natural disasters, and various forms of violence. The chapters are categorized under three distinct headings: advancing a fresh perspective on child safety and protection; addressing the challenge; and charting the path forward. Throughout the work, the authors emphasize the underlying principles of children's rights, systemic approaches to prevention, tackling adverse social norms, and addressing the challenge of insufficient resource allocation.
