"Triumph Over Prejudice is the autobiographical account of a black girl growing up in Mississippi during the Civil Rights era. Martha Wyatt-Rossignol examines the effects that period had on her life and what happened when the movement arrived in her small town of Fayette. She details the conditions under which blacks lived during that time of segregation and how those rules were gradually changed in the face of enormous opposition from whites. Wyatt-Rossignol describes the racial hatred incurred as a result of her being chosen for a pilot school desegregation program and a failed marriage to an African American man, leading to her dating and later marrying a white man, with whom she is still married. Her marriage resulted in opprobrium from both the white and black communities and revealed the complexities of race and racism in her hometown. The story also follows the politics of that era in a local context as black politicians assumed more power and began to improve life for all races in this rural area. She then details the betrayal felt by many blacks as these key figures over-reached their authority and started pursuing their own agendas. An intimate and revealing portrait of Charles Evers, the first black mayor of Fayette and brother of Medgar Evers, is included in this section. The book goes on to describe how the author learned to hate the white race, in kind, as a result of her experiences, and what she had to do to overcome it. The story concludes with her move out of Mississippi to the island of Bermuda and her encounters with a very different racial environment"--

Christianity And The Triumph Of Humor written by Bernard Schweizer and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-07-17 with Religion categories.
This book traces the development of religious comedy and leverages that history to justify today’s uses of religious humor in all of its manifestations, including irreverent jokes. It argues that regulating humor is futile and counterproductive, illustrating this point with a host of comedic examples. Humor is a powerful rhetorical tool for those who advocate and for those who satirize religious ideals. The book presents a compelling argument about the centrality of humor to the story of Western Christianity’s cultural and artistic development since the Middle Ages, taking a multi-disciplinary approach that combines literary criticism, religious studies, philosophy, theology, and social science. After laying out the conceptual framework in Part 1, Part 2 analyzes key works of religious comedy across the ages from Dante to the present, and it samples the breadth of contemporary religious humor from Brad Stine to Robin Williams, and from Monty Python to South Park. Using critical, historical, and conceptual lenses, the book exposes and overturns past attempts by church authorities, scholars, and commentators to limit and control laughter based on religious, ideological, or moral criteria. This is a unique look into the role of humor and comedy around religion. It will, therefore, appeal to readers interested in multiple fields of inquiry, including religious studies, humor studies, the history of ideas, and comparative literature.

The book depicts the life of a young doctor, who is very caring, diligent and a hard worker who is being subjected to horrific discrimination and harassment of a different kind. She is also subjected to abuse, retaliation in a general hospital setting. The book details how the discrimination and harassment was used so horrifically and dangerously as it was applied to this woman, making her life a virtual nightmare. A large part was due to cultural diversity,where the boss was strongly staunch in his beliefs, handpicking staff doctors who shared his beliefs and cultural similarities. He especially hired foreign born males. In return, these doctors gave allegiance to the boss. Why should they complain as they reaped significant rewards in terms of a lighter work schedule, bonuses, increased salary and time off. The woman's plight was horrible and unbelievable. She was treated so differently that it was really flagrantly obvious. She was female, born in the USA and was made the odd ball in an American institution. She knew that she was not the favored, so she tried to lay low, just continuing to do her work. This was not satisfactory to the boss, even though she was taking care of the highest percentage of patients, working a schedule that was virtually impossible, being extremely heavy. Yet, she knew that she had to be perfect or else she would suffer substantial retribution or threats that could affect her reputation and medical career. In other words, she was being worked to death!! The other most substantial part was how the discrimination and harassment was carried out and applied to her. She came to realize that the boss and management were very devious and sinister in their discriminatory methods, as they were not happy with her finally speaking up, challenging the inequality of workload, multiple missed opportunities, and working constantly with no time to breath. Ultimately, the doctor came to the realization that these men were a "bunch of thugs", evil and malicious who really did not care for the patients. It is hard to believe that the boss and management were really wicked monsters and the woman was their target.. They used weaponry in the form of relentless criticism, incessant biased peer reviews, and threats of all professional kinds which were an everyday thing. Of course, this impacted on her health, emotionally and physically.The book also covers the legal entanglements and dealings with the Equal Employment Opporrtunity Commission process and how she was more successful litigating the case by herself.

Marrying legal doctrine from five pioneering and conversant jurisdictions with contemporary political philosophy, this book provides a general theory of discrimination law. Part I gives a theoretically rigorous account of the identity and scope of discrimination law: what makes a legal norm a norm of discrimination law? What is the architecture of discrimination law? Unlike the approach popular with most textbooks, the discussion eschews list-based discussions of protected grounds, instead organising the doctrine in a clear thematic structure. This definitional preamble sets the agenda for the next two parts. Part II draws upon the identity and structure of discrimination law to consider what the point of this area of law is. Attention to legal doctrine rules out many answers that ideologically-entrenched writers have offered to this question. The real point of discrimination law, this Part argues, is to remove abiding, pervasive, and substantial relative group disadvantage. This objective is best defended on liberal rather than egalitarian grounds. Having considered its overall purpose, Part III gives a theoretical account of the duties imposed by discrimination law. A common definition of the antidiscrimination duty accommodates tools as diverse as direct and indirect discrimination, harassment, and reasonable accommodation. These different tools are shown to share a common normative concern and a single analytical structure. Uniquely in the literature, this Part also defends the imposition of these duties only to certain duty-bearers in specified contexts. Finally, the conditions under which affirmative action is justified are explained.

Divisive Integration The Triumph Of Failed Ideas In Europe Revisited written by Steffen Lehndorff and has been published by ETUI this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-04-01 with Europe categories.
This book is a follow-up to the ETUI 2012 volume 'The triumph of failed ideas'. The focus of the book is the weight attributed to the different economic and social development paths in ten individual EU countries, and their interaction with the austerity regime established at EU level which in fact is deepening the crisis rather than paving ways out of it. The most dangerous implication of this policy approach is, according to this study, that it is driving countries apart - misleadingly in the name of 'Europe', hence the title of the book 'divisive integration'. The main message of the book is that a gradual recovery is possible only if there is a change of course in individual countries that then triggers reactions in the policies of other countries and perturbations at the EU level. However, these changes in individual countries is no longer feasible without a green light or at least toleration from the level of the European institutions.
