Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In this highly moving collection of poetry, Nigerian poet Jekwu Ozoemene shares a rich kaleidoscopic world of African and Western meter, rhythm, and metaphors that present powerful images of the African continent, its people, and the love that surrounds them.Ozoemene was inspired to write his first collection of poetry after listening to Professor Karen King Aribisala's reading of D.H. Lawrence's Snake at the University of Lagos, Nigeria in 1993. In lyrical verse that showcases immense emotional power, sensory impact, and conceptual interest, Ozoemene offers thoughts of a young man who matured quicker than others and, as a result, grappled with the frustrations and depressions of the adult world. As he battled with the strange idiosyncrasies of life, he sought and found answers to many of his introspective questions through his poetry.Without shying away from controversial issues such as the abuse of women, bigotry, and religious differences, Ozoemene shares an inspiring message of hope in this, his first compilation of poetry.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Walter Littlemoon's memoir, They Called Me Uncivilized, is a call to awareness from within the heart of Wounded Knee. In telling his story, Littlemoon describes the impact federal Indian policies have had on his life and on the history of his family. He gives a rare view into the cruelty inflicted on generations of Native American children through the implementation of U.S. government boarding schools, which resulted in a muted truth, called Soul Wound by some. In addition, and for the first time, his narrative provides a resident's view of the 1973 militant Occupation of Wounded Knee and the lasting impact that takeover has had on his community. His path toward a sense of peace and contentment is one he hopes others will follow. Remembering and telling the truth about traumatic events are prerequisites for healing.Many books have been written by scholars describing one aspect or another of Native American life, their history, their spirituality, the 1973 occupation, and a few have tried to describe the boarding schools. None have connected the dots. Until the language of the everyday man is used, scholarly words will shut out the people they describe and the pathology created by federal Indian policy will continue.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This seemingly simple but truly complex question' True or false: 'My mother was a good woman.' This item has appeared in one form or another on countless psychological inventories over the years. The culturally-prescribed answer is, of course, 'True.' Even the people most abused by their mothers tend to rise to defend 'Mom.' The rationale varies: 'She was basically good'; 'She was never cut out to have children'; 'She simply had no idea how to be there for me'; 'Perhaps if she hadn't had me.'; 'Maybe it was I who turned her into a bad mother 'As early as 1954 in his work with abused children, psychoanalyst Ronald Fairbairn observed that a child acknowledging to herself or anyone else that she had a bad mother or that her mother was a bad woman was tantamount to admitting that the child was, by association, a bad person --and so it becomes an act of self-preservation to hold that one's mopther is good, never mind all evidence to the contrary.In Horrible Mothers, pshychotherapist Alice Thie Vieira takes us into the world of individuals who have endured devastating damage at the hands of society's most sacrosanst icon: the Mother.Vieira does so with four chief aims:1. to label abuse so as to be able to acknowledge it;2. to recognize that the sanctification of motherhood is a burden that society has foisted upon them;3. to help mothers understand how their mothering may have hurt their children;4. to help victims of horrible mothering grasp the unfairness of what was done to them, to comprehend how it affected their lives, and acknowledge what they have endured so as to break free from unhealthy attachments to their inadequate mothers, and thus move forward and better realize their potentiality.
