Mediocre investigates the real costs of this phenomenon in order to imagine a new white male identity, one free from racism and sexism.Īs provocative as it is essential, this book will upend everything you thought you knew about American identity and offers a bold new vision of American greatness. As Ijeomo Oluo puts it in her new book Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of. Through the last 150 years of American history - from the post-reconstruction South and the mythic stories of cowboys in the West, to the present-day controversy over NFL protests and the backlash against the rise of women in politics - Ijeoma Oluo exposes the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of color, and white men themselves. Mediocre investigates the real costs of this phenomenon in order to imagine a. What happens to a country that tells generation after generation of white men that they deserve power? What happens when success is defined by status over women and people of color, instead of by actual accomplishments? From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller So You Want to Talk About Race, an “illuminating” ( New York Times Book Review) history of white male identity. It is a list of twenty punchy, at times poignant, lessons from history, rather than a sustained argument. The book’s format seems designed to connect with readers habituated to skimming social media feeds and to ease them into engaging with serious issues. Where it falls short is mainly in its advice on opposing tyranny. Its strength is in highlighting important features and mechanisms of the move toward dictatorship. But no matter what you think of Trump, you can learn much from Snyder’s book. Clearly Snyder, a historian at Yale, was impelled to write the book in the wake of Trump’s rise to power, a development he views as alarming. This short book is very much a product of the moment. Timothy Snyder’s incisive book, On Tyranny, aims to distill enduring lessons from the twentieth century on the rise and functioning of tyranny - and to help us preserve our freedom. Would you recognize the signs of an incipient tyranny? Would you know how to oppose it? By Timothy Snyder (New York: Tim Duggan Books, 2017). On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. Spanning nearly two centuries, this “whip-smart” ( Publishers Weekly, starred review) cultural history takes us from the performance halls of 19th-century London to the aerobics studios of the 1980s, the music video set of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” and the mountains of Arizona, where every year humans and horses race in a feat of gluteal endurance. But why? In Butts: A Backstory, reporter, essayist, and RadioLab contributing editor Heather Radke is determined to find out. A woman’s butt, in particular, is forever being assessed, criticized, and objectified, from anxious self-examinations trying on jeans in department store dressing rooms to enduring crass remarks while walking down a street or high school hallways. It is a body part unique to humans, critical to our evolution and survival, and yet it has come to signify so much more: sex, desire, comedy, shame. Whether we love them or hate them, think they’re sexy, think they’re strange, consider them too big, too small, or anywhere in between, humans have a complicated relationship with butts. “One of the year’s most ingenious and eye-opening cultural studies.” - Publishers Weekly, Best Books of 2022 (Should I be seeking therapy for this? The bills will, of course, go to the aforementioned teacher.) “Why did the Apostrophe Protection Society not have a militant wing? Could I start one? Where do you get balaclavas?” And then developed a strong desire to join a militant wing of the Apostrophe Protection Society. And had a very enjoyable few hours reading the creation of a fellow grammar stickler. But I am ok with being pathetic.) And then I found this book. Ah, never mind, I don't have a valid defense. In my defense, she is a language teacher. Sometimes I discuss punctuation when I talk to my mother on the phone*. This was the beginning of my grammar vigilante stickler life. This crime landed me on her "black list" for the rest of the year. My transgression - in my wide-eyed seven-year-old innocence I dared to correct my (very Soviet) teacher on her comma placement and a spelling mistake. I am kicked out of the classroom and sent home with an angry note. The setting is an ordinary Soviet elementary school, first grade. I proudly consider myself a punctuation martyr. Now, instead of peacefully munching, it EATS, SHOOTS, and LEAVES. Bad punctuation can force an innocent animal to live outside the law.

Mariana Mazzucato argues that applying innovation to societal goals and structuring government budgets more explicitly to the long-term, as the moon programme. All material on this site has been provided by the respective publishers and authors. And I think one of the studies in the book is that to be moved is to be connected. One of the projects of the book is allowing oneself to be moved. There is a lot of freedom in that: in finding something delightful, taking time with it and sharing that joy. And I think it offers this roadmap of someone saying, it's OK to love things, and it's OK to feel joy. When I read your book this time, I really sat with what you were saying about wanting to be softer. I've been thinking about that as joy, but I'm also going to say I think maybe that was an experience of freedom. There were all the potlucks, all the arguments, all the going to get limestone, all the talking about what kind of trees there were going to be. I was just so filled up, and I was so profoundly indebted to these people - and it's a lot of people. And I can just remember it plain as day, when I was leaving that day, my eyes were welled up. As in Pinker's previous The Better Angels of Our Nature, Pinker ascribes modern improvements to trends of liberal humanism and scientific rationality that first took root in Europe around the 17th and 18th centuries. opinion polls, Pinker shows that an American is 3,000 times more likely to die in an accident than in a terrorist attack. As another example, while fears of terrorism are often voiced in U.S. He sets out 15 different measures of human wellbeing to support this argument, with the most obvious being the uncontroversial fact that, statistically, people live longer and healthier lives on average than ever before. In contrast, Pinker argues that life has been getting better for most people. Thesis Ī commonly-held lay public perception holds that the world is in terrible shape for some, 2016 was the "worst year ever" and the year that liberalism died. It is a follow-up to Pinker's 2011 book, The Better Angels of Our Nature. It argues that the Enlightenment values of reason, science, and humanism have brought progress, and that health, prosperity, safety, peace, and happiness have tended to rise worldwide. 2018 book by Steven Pinker Enlightenment NowĮnlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress is a 2018 book written by Canadian-American cognitive scientist Steven Pinker. This anchor is one of the work’s greatest strengths. The societies themselves, sick and decaying, are always viewed through the eyes of alienated figures who wander absently, searching for escape. Instead, it features a series of fleeting images that constantly gesture towards the bleak psychological state of the people who occupy these worlds. For the most part, Terminal Boredom does not contain large-scale portraits of the dystopian worlds in which its stories are set. This is absolutely true for Terminal Boredom. In Frank O’Connor’s study of the short-story form, The Lonely Voice, he argues that short stories tend to focus on “outlawed figures wandering about the fringes of society” ( The Lonely Voice, p. Despite distinctions, certain core concepts-fixations on temporality, barrenness, isolation, and decay-recur throughout the stories. The stories are both disparate and cohesive, diverging and intersecting to establish a fresh and complex whole. The seven stories collected in Terminal Boredom explore a series of speculative worlds, from a matriarchal utopia to a world devoid of human beings. It was released by Verso in April of this year with translations by Polly Barton, Sam Bett, David Boyd, Daniel Joseph, Aiko Masubuchi, and Helen O’Horan. Though Suzuki is considered a pioneer of Japanese science fiction, Terminal Boredom is the first English translation of her work. Izumi Suzuki (1949-86) was a writer, actor, and counterculture figure. The Flight Portfolio opens at the Chagalls’ ancient stone house in Gordes, France, as the novel’s hero desperately tries to persuade them of the barbarism and tragedy descending on Europe. Instead, he ended up staying in France for thirteen months, working under the veil of a legitimate relief organization to procure false documents, amass emergency funds, and set up an underground railroad that led over the Pyrenees, into Spain, and finally to Lisbon, where the refugees embarked for safer ports. In 1940, Varian Fry–a Harvard educated American journalist–traveled to Marseille carrying three thousand dollars and a list of imperiled artists and writers he hoped to rescue within a few weeks. Join Orringer for an in-depth look at the research that was undertaken to discover the narratives of those Fry saved, the labor he accepted to ensure their safety, as well as his complex relationships with them. The Flight Portfolio is based on the true story of Varian Fry’s extraordinary attempt to save the work, and the lives, of Jewish artists fleeing the Holocaust such as Marc Chagall, Marchel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Hannah Arendt, Franz Werfel and André Breton. |
