    Sexed Up (eBook, ePUB)
    The author of landmark manifesto Whipping Girl exposes the violent ways we are all sexualized-then offers a bold path for resistance Feminists have long challenged the ways in which men tend to sexualize women. But pioneering activist, biologist, and trans woman Julia Serano argues that sexualization is a far more pervasive problem, as it's something that we all do to other people, often without being aware of it. Why do we perceive men as sexual predators and women as sexual objects? Why are LGBTQ+ people stereotyped as being sexually indiscriminate and deceptive? Why are people of color still being hypersexualized? These stereotypes push minorities farther into the margins, and even the privileged are policed from transgressing, lest they also become targets. Many view sexualization as a mere component of sexism, racism, or queerphobia, but Serano argues that liberation from sexual violence comes through collectively confronting sexualization itself.

    Oppression and the Body
    A timely anthology that explores power, privilege, and oppression and their relationship to marginalized bodies Asserting that the body is the main site of oppression in Western society, the contributors to this pioneering volume explore the complex issue of embodiment and how it relates to social inclusion and marginalization. In a culture where bodies of people who are brown, black, female, transgender, disabled, fat, or queer are often shamed, sexualized, ignored, and oppressed, what does it mean to live in a marginalized body? Through theory, personal narrative, and artistic expression, this anthology explores how power, privilege, oppression, and attempted disembodiment play out on the bodies of disparaged individuals and what happens when the body's expression is stereotyped and stunted. Bringing together a range of voices, this book offers strategies and practices for embodiment and activism and considers what it means to be an embodied ally to anyone experiencing bodily oppression.

    Predators in the Workplace: A 'Reality Check' on What We too Often Encounter in Our Working Environments , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min
    Predator: Living by robbing, plundering or preying on other animals.... (Webster's New World Dictionary) Question: When is doing your job - excellently - just not enough? Answer: When someone stabs you in the back to get ahead! Unfortunately, there are many human versions of "Predators" in every type of life situation that we run into. My own experience with this "breed of cat" has been in the workplace. For those of us who periodically need sutures between our shoulder blades after the Predators go into their act, this book describes the behavior patterns, tricks, techniques, buzzwords, and body language used - supposedly without detection - by the Predators. Most of us have seen them in different forms - usually too late - but they are pretty much stereotyped to the (sadly) experienced eye. I've classified my own "Predators" into several categories. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grayson Coleman-Selby.

    Kiss Me or Die , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 589min
    Richard's life is a horror story. And it's all the fault of those people inside his head. Richard thinks he has them stereotyped for his autobiography, but he's about to get a new tenant: the Insider, a malevolent soul-hopping spirit that may or may not be born from Richard's nightmares and demands a co-writing credit and a little bit of foot-kissing worship.

When New Guy, Shehadie Goldsmith, is alienated at her Lebanese school because his dad's Australian, she hates the way it makes her feel. Like she's just as prejudiced as everyone else. Like she could make a difference if she stopped pretending she's invisible. Like the attraction between them might be too strong to fight.... But hate is such a strong word....

    Tip of the Spear: US Marine Light Armor in the Gulf War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 640min
    Images of U.S. Marines assaulting Pacific beaches in World War II have stereotyped the service's roles and personnel for more than 50 years. This frank firsthand account of Marines sweeping over sands of a different sort in fast armored vehicles retires that popular legend and recasts the Corps as the modern, professional fighting force it was in Desert Storm. Battling a savage environment; an unknown enemy brandishing threats of nuclear, gas, and biological attacks; and a host of technological and tactical snafus, Alpha Company of the 1st Light Armored Infantry Battalion pushed forward at the "tip of the spear" past burning oil fields, hundreds of Iraqi tanks and vehicles, and heartrending friendly casualties to help liberate Kuwait City and drive the Iraqis back to Baghdad. Here G. J. Michaels, a section leader and vehicle commander, provides a vivid, personal chronicle of events as they unfolded. Michaels further draws on his 13 years of LAV experience to examine lessons learned from the war as well as its controversies, including the confusion over use of the LAV as both recon scout and infantry support and the lack of effective identification/friend-or-foe systems. ungekürzt.

    Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 675min
    In modern Britain, the working class has become an object of fear and ridicule. From Little Britain's Vicky Pollard to the demonization of Jade Goody, media and politicians alike dismiss as feckless, criminalized and ignorant a vast, underprivileged swathe of society whose members have become stereotyped by one, hate-filled word: chavs. In this acclaimed investigation, Owen Jones explores how the working class has gone from 'salt of the earth' to 'scum of the earth.' Exposing the ignorance and prejudice at the heart of the chav caricature, he portrays a far more complex reality. The chav stereotype, he argues, is used by governments as a convenient fig leaf to avoid genuine engagement with social and economic problems and to justify widening inequality. When Chavs was first published in 2011 it opened up the discussion of class in Britain. Then, in the public debate after the riots of that summer, Owen Jones's thesis was proved right - the working class were the scapegoats for everything that was wrong with Britain. This new edition includes a new chapter, reflecting on the overwhelming response to the book and the situation in Britain today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leighton Pugh.

    Thriving with Neurofibromatosis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 179min
    One in 3,000 people is born with neurofibromatosis. It affects all of them in different ways. For some, neurofibromatosis is as clear as the tumors on their face. For others, it hides beneath the surface, creating tumors that destroy hearing, vision, and more. Many of them are misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and often simply missed by a world of medicine that doesn't have a full grasp on all the effects of NF. Stereotyped, ignored, or shunned by a world who thinks they either have the Elephant Man's disease, common migraines, or a few too many moles and birthmarks, NF'ers often choose to hide from others - and end up hiding from themselves. My name is Kristi Hopkins. In 2007, I chose to stop hiding, and start thriving. NF had become a bigger part of my life than ever before, taking a firm grip on the health of three of my six children. Most people with NF, or any of a thousand other genetic disorders, focus on surviving from day to day. My kids deserve more than just to survive. And so do you. Thriving with Neurofibromatosis. We all have a story, this is mine. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirstianne Hopkins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/003707/bk_acx0_003707_sample.mp3.
