In Fighting is Like a Wife, Eloisa Amezcua uses striking visual poems to reconstruct the love story—and the tragedy—of two-time world boxing champion “Schoolboy” Bobby Chacon and his first wife, Valorie Ginn. Bobby took to fighBobby took to fighting the way a surfer takes to water: the waves and crests, the highs and the pummeling lows. Valorie, as girlfriend, then wife, then mother of their children, was proud of Bobby and how he found a way out of the harsh world they were born into. But the brain-sloshing blows, the women, and the alcohol began to take their toll, and soon Bobby couldn’t hear her anymore. With her fate affixed to Bobby’s, and Bobby’s to the ring, Valorie sought her own way out of this dilemma. Using haunting, visceral language to evoke the emotion of the fight, and incorporating direct quotations from sports commentators and Bobby himself, Fighting Is Like a Wife reveals how boxing, like love and poetry, can be brutal, vulnerable, and surprising.

A wise and searching novel of a young Black woman, an unexpected pregnancy, and the struggle to overcome a legacy of trauma and mental illness Sumatra has spent her life yearning for connection with family, friends, and lovers while, almost compulsively, pushing them away. The daughter of a Nigerian immigrant father and a talented but troubled mother, she saw her childhood shattered in an incident that took her years to comprehend. Now, facing an unexpected pregnancy, Sum returns to the States from her adopted home of Beijing, fragile but determined. Discontinuing the medication that kept her dissociative disorder at bay, she revisits her life in a series of memory flashbacks, therapy sessions, and recorded messages for her unborn daughter. As she relives moments of conflict, grief, and trauma—in settings ranging from Baltimore to Barcelona, Brazil to the Philippines—Sum comes to realize that, by searching for herself in other cultures, she has been hiding from the truths of her own life. Emotionally cataclysmic yet ultimately hopeful, rendered in lyrical, spellbinding prose, The Leaving is a story of the legacy of trauma and mental illness, and of the gifts and burdens we leave to our children.

Genius programmer Angela Hoot has always been at the top of her class, but now she's at the bottom of the FBI food chain—until her first case threatens everyone around her. ​ Angela's graduate school days at MIT come to an abrupt end when she uses her hacking skills on another student's computer. Yet her mentor, Eve Abajian, arranges a new beginning for her—as an intern in FBI's Boston field office. Her new supervisor, Assistant Special Agent in Charge William Keats, one of only two agents in the Northeast to make his rank before the age of thirty, sees in Angela a fellow prodigy. But Angela's skills come with a natural curiosity, which is also a dangerous liability. With little training, Angela is quickly plunged into a tough case: tracking murderous brothers who go by the Poet and the Engineer. When Keats tells her to "watch and listen," Angela's mind kicks into overdrive. The obsessive thinking that earned her As on campus can prove fatal in the field.

Crisis Under Critique written by Didier Fassin and has been published by Columbia University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-04-13 with Political Science categories.

The word “crisis” denotes a break, a discontinuity, a rupture—a moment after which the normal order can continue no longer. Yet our political vocabulary today is suffused with the rhetoric of crisis, to the point that supposed abnormalities have been normalized. How can the notion of crisis be rethought in order to take stock of—and challenge—our understanding of the many predicaments in which we find ourselves? Instead of diagnosing emergencies, Didier Fassin, Axel Honneth, and an assembly of leading thinkers examine how people experience, interpret, and contribute to the making of and the response to critical situations. Contributors inquire into the social production of crisis, evaluating a wide range of cases on five continents through the lenses of philosophy, sociology, anthropology, political science, history, and economics. Considering social movements, intellectual engagements, affected communities, and reflexive perspectives, the book foregrounds the perspectives of those most closely involved, bringing out the immediacy of crisis. Featuring analysis from below as well as above, from the inside as well as the outside, Crisis Under Critique is a singular intervention that utterly recasts one of today’s most crucial—yet most ambiguous—concepts.
