What can unfold from an engagement of feminist issues, concerns and practices with the geopolitical? How does feminism allow for a reconfiguration of how these two elements, the geo- and the -political, are understood and related? What kinds of objects can be located and put into motion? What kinds of relations can be drawn between these? What kinds of practice become valued? And, what is glossed or rendered absent in the process? In this thought-provoking and original contribution, Deborah P. Dixon cautions against the exhaustion of feminist geopolitics as a critique of both a classical and a critical geopolitics, and points instead to how feminist imaginaries of Self, Other and Earth allow for all manner of work to be undertaken. Importantly, one of the things they provide for is a reservoir of concerns, thoughts and practices that can be reappropriated to flesh out what a feminist geopolitics can be. While providing a much-needed, sustained interjection that draws out achievements to date, the book thus gestures forward to productive lines of inquiry and method. Grounded via a series of globally diverse case studies that traverse time as well as space, Feminist Geopolitics feels for the borders of geopolitical thought and practice by navigating four complex and corporeally-aware objects of analysis, namely flesh, bone, touch and abhorrence.

"Her life was a song." Thus did Mom's obituary sum her up. Seventeen years before her death, however, that song began to change, shifting into darker and eventually agitated tones. Still, up until the end, it never ceased. Here is the full course of her illness: Initial subtle changes, increasing memory loss, paranoia, agitation, delusions, and frustrated helplessness but also faith, humor, and "diamonds," those occasional bright and beautiful moments glittering amidst the coal. Ultimately, it is a story of peace and release, as well as the renewed discovery that, "In the darkest valley, there is music for that. In the longest night, there still is music for that." Deborah P. Hall lives in southwest Missouri on the farm that she and her mother both loved, surrounded by music, books, horses, and abundant cats. She is heavily involved in church and musical activities and volunteers at the library. This is her second published full-length book.

Individuals with disabilities are often “desexualized” in our society, yet they have the same need for intimacy, self-worth, and social belonging as people without disabilities. Sexuality and Disabilities addresses persons with physical, sensory, intellectual, and cognitive disabilities and their concerns in the areas of intimacy, family issues, sexuality, and sexual functioning. It offers suggestions for professionals who work with persons with these disabilities to help them work more competently with disabled persons in the sexuality arena. These concrete ideas are excellent for staff training and education and for enhancing professional development for those working with persons with physical disabilities.The contributing authors create an awareness that all people need individualized consideration and that the special needs of all individuals are important, especially for those who may have previously been left to discover things on their own--usually unsuccessfully. Sexuality and Disabilities focuses on a wide range of disabilities, including physical, developmental, and learning disabilities, mental retardation, and conditions that may have an impact on people later in life such as strokes, heart disease, or other chronic illness. Chapters discuss education and support issues for both practitioners and clients. Some of the topics examined include:components of a staff training program on sexuality and disability specific recommendations for sexuality education and counseling with people with spinal cord injuries and other acquired severe neurological disabilities a program model serving parents with mental retardation and their children specific ways educational programming, social work intervention, and policy efforts can address the special learning needs of people with cognitive impairments sources of support and stress for families caring for developmentally disabled children an analysis of special vulnerabilities and challenges relating to sexual victimization that confront people with disabilitiesAn extremely helpful tool for human service practitioners, Sexuality and Disabilities is also a valuable resource for graduate and undergraduate students who have an interest in working with people with physical, cognitive, or mental disabilities and helping them explore this basic facet of their lives.

On January 13, 2017, former President Obama issued Executive Order No. 13761 temporarily lifting 20 years of sanctions against the regime of International Criminal Court - indicted President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan. Allegedly, it was because of progress in five tracks involving human rights, counterintelligence about fugitive Joseph Kony of the Lord's Resistance Army and peaceful settlement of Sudan's conflicts with several Sudan resistance groups in Darfur, Nuba Mountains, and the Blue Nile State. The Presidential order left it to incoming President Trump to respond by July 12, 2017 with a determination about permanently lifting the sanctions. President Trump issued a new Executive order on the evening of July 11th deferring that decision until October 31, 2017. Prior to issuing the new executive order all 53 members of the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee sent a letter to President Trump suggesting, based on the lack of clear evidence indicating that the five tracks are respected, sanctions should be maintained until a new Special Envoy to Sudan and South Sudan would be appointed to investigate representations of progress in Sudan that any decision should be deferred for at least a year. The authors of Sudan Genocide: threatens Africa and the World present a veritable dossier of facts on the ground that constitute a brief in support of the US House of Representatives Foreign Relations Committee recommendation. It details a web of deception by the Bashir Muslim Brotherhood regime reflected in secret documents including a captured plan to complete genocidal ethnic cleansing of indigenous black African peoples by 2020. The Arab Coalition Plan details the strategy of replacing the indigenous population with Arabs the regime brings in from foreign countries. The regime's overall strategy is to recruit 150,000 men drawn from Arab tribes and jihadists from across the Sahel region of Africa and Islamic State fighters from the Middle East. The objective is create a new Caliphate ruled under Sharia Supremacism from Khartoum backed by billions of dollars in weapons and grants from across the Arab League. Further, the authors reveal that Qatar and Sudan have engaged in the overthrow of regimes in neighboring Libya, Chad and the Central African Republic (CAR). The Sudan human toll under Bashir speaks for itself: over 400,000 dead, about 5 million internally displaced and several hundred thousands who have fled to UN refugee camps in Chad, CAR, and elsewhere. This book is must read for all Human Rights advocates, Congressional Committees and the staff of the Trump National Security Council.
