A professor of English literature presents a memoir of family, identity, and acceptance that examines the messiness and complexity of adoption and parenthood from a black, queer, and feminist perspective.

A brilliant literary memoir of chosen family and chosen heritage, told against the backdrop of Chicago’s North and South SidesAs a multiracial household in Chicago’s North Side community of Rogers Park, race is at the core of Francesca Royster and her family's world, influencing everyday acts of parenting and the conception of what family truly means. Like Maggie Nelson’s The Argonauts, this lyrical and affecting memoir focuses on a unit of three: the author; her wife Annie, who's white; and Cecilia, the Black daughter they adopt as a couple in their forties and fifties. Choosing Family chronicles this journey to motherhood while examining the messiness and complexity of adoption and parenthood from a Black, queer, and feminist perspective. Royster also explores her memories of the matriarchs of her childhood and the homes these women created in Chicago’s South Side—itself a dynamic character in the memoir—where “family” was fluid, inclusive, and not necessarily defined by marriage or other socially recognized contracts.     Calling upon the work of some of her favorite queer thinkers, including José Esteban Muñoz and Audre Lorde, Royster interweaves her experiences and memories with queer and gender theory to argue that many Black families, certainly her own, have historically had a “queer” attitude toward family: configurations that sit outside the white normative experience and are the richer for their flexibility and generosity of spirit. A powerful, genre-bending memoir of family, identity, and acceptance, Choosing Family, ultimately, is about joy—about claiming the joy that society did not intend to assign to you, or to those like you.

We vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?

9 in 10 women experience ill mental health from poor life-work balance This book is for working women who feel dissatisfied with life, and who want to reinvent themselves to lead successful and fulfilling lives, in their personal life and at work. Our changing and challenging times have left many of us, and especially women, feeling burnt out, chronically worried and uncertain. At the same time, it's difficult to overstate just how much attitudes towards emotional wellbeing have changed in the last five years. As more and more of us struggle about how to exist in this unstable environment, question arise such as: How do you behave if you have a leadership role, given the unattractive role models we see currently in the US and elsewhere? What do you do as a mother when your children tell you they learnt at school that there will be a world war? The change is that women want a life that has meaning and purpose and there's more willingness to call out prejudice and predatory behaviour. Yet many of the same old problems persist. All of this is a case for stressing the importance of emotional connection, creativity and open-mindedness: attitudes and behaviours that will be at the heart of this timely book from pioneer coach, Jenny Rogers.

'Antirassismus. Ein Leitfaden' richtet sich an alle, die verstehen möchten, wie sie rassismusfrei leben können, unabhängig davon, ob sie Schwarze oder nicht-Schwarze Menschen sind.Die Autorin Djamila Ribeiro erklärt leicht verständlich zentrale Begriffe wie strukturellen Rassismus, Weiß-sein und weiße Privilegien, Schwarze Identität, Sichtbarkeit und Repräsentation, internalisierten Rassismus sowie das historische und strukturelle Verschwinden von Schwarzem Wissen in Medien und Wissenschaft. Sie zeigt, wie Rassismus unbewusst unsere Wahrnehmungen und Handlungen prägt und tief in gesellschaftlichen Strukturen verankert ist.Viele Beispiele aus dem Alltag und ein klarer, zugänglicher Stil laden dazu ein, das eigene Denken und Verhalten zu reflektieren. Es gibt praktische Anregungen, wie jede Person für sich aktiv gegen Rassismus vorgehen kann - im persönlichen Umfeld ebenso wie in Institutionen - und enthält zahlreiche weiterführende Literaturhinweise zur Vertiefung.Ausgehend von Erfahrungen in Brasilien macht die Autorin deutlich, dass Rassismus kein lokales oder individuelles Problem ist, sondern global und strukturell wirkt. Auch in Deutschland ist er tief in gesellschaftlichen Prozessen verwurzelt.Das Buch zeigt: Antirassismus ist eine gemeinsame Aufgabe, und schon kleine Schritte können viel bewegen.

'A captivating story of love and adventure, thrumming with secrets' Lucy Steeds, author of The Artist 'Moves elegantly back and forwards in time, and across the world from Paris and London to the Antipodes . . . beautifully written' Sunday Times 'A compelling tale . . . blends historical fiction with high adventure and romance' Guardian 'Like a fine vintage of champagne, this novel is complex, layered, and delicious' Kate MacIntosh, author of The Champagne Letters Caroline examines a stolen map. And there she finds it, at the edge of the Western Hemisphere, a black mark at the 30th latitude smaller than a flea: Norfolk Island. Her Aunt thinks she's a fool for wanting to follow her father to the other side of the world. He is no longer the man who taught Caroline about philosophy, apothecary and dreamt of returning to the France of his childhood. He is a convicted murderer, mad, deported, condemned. But, when she understands that Caroline is determined, her Aunt has one piece of advice: she must leave her past behind and invent a new story. In 1839, Caroline lands in Van Dieman's Land, a young widow of means with a boy in her care. In this insular colony of exiles and opportunists, no-one talks too much about their past. Caroline leases a run-down cottage and abandoned vineyard and, on this island of extreme seasons and wild beauty, she embarks on a fearless enterprise to reclaim her father, create champagne, and rewrite her family's legacy. Travelling from Paris to Edinburgh, London, New York and to Tasmania, The Great Act of Love is an epic story of hope and self-invention.

Schluss mit der Empörungslogik - wie wir unsere Demokratie verteidigen und Frustration in mutige Politik verwandelnDie Demokratie steht unter Druck - doch Rückzug ist für Rasha Nasr, die junge&nbsp;SPD-Bundestagsabgeordnete&nbsp;aus Dresden, keine Option. In ihrem Bericht aus dem Maschinenraum des parlamentarischen Alltags rechnet sie mit der Berliner&nbsp;Talkshow-Logik&nbsp;ab und fordert eine Rückkehr zur Substanz.Nasr macht deutlich, dass in der heutigen Politik zu oft darüber geredet wird, was brennt, während niemand darüber spricht, was trägt. Rechte Erzählungen gewinnen nicht, weil sie wahr sind, sondern weil sie so einfach sind. Statt sich hinter Sachzwängen zu verstecken, tritt die Autorin in ihrer leidenschaftlichen&nbsp;Streitschrift&nbsp;für klare Prioritäten und echte&nbsp;Verantwortung&nbsp;ein - fernab von Identitätsdebatten. Sie beweist, dass Demokratie keine Komfortzone ist, sondern den&nbsp;Mut&nbsp;erfordert, unperfekte Kompromisse mit&nbsp;Haltung&nbsp;zu vertreten und Konflikte ohne Feindschaft auszuhalten.'Verantwortung heißt bleiben' ist ein persönliches und kämpferisches Buch, das Wut konstruktiv in politischen Mut übersetzt. Ein starkes Plädoyer für Menschen, die Haltung zeigen wollen und sich für gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt, soziale Sicherheit und Freiheit einsetzen - und ein authentisches Vorbild dafür, unsere Demokratie aktiv zu verteidigen.
