A History of the Bolivian Labour Movement 1848–1971
Guillermo Lora
Cambridge University Press
2009
pokkari
This book is an abridgement and translation of Guillermo Lora's five-volume history. It deals with the strengthening and radicalisation of Bolivia's organised labour movement, which culminated in the drastic revolutionary changes of the 1950s. The first half offers a reinterpretation of Bolivian history in the century preceding the revolution, viewed from the perspective of the working class. The second half discusses in more detail the major political events and doctrinal issues of a period in which the author, as secretary of the Trotskyist Partido Obrero Revolucionario, himself frequently played an active part. Despite the radical upheaval that occurred in the fifties and the mobilisation of broad sectors of the population around such radical objectives as direct property seizures, union-nominated ministers and union, military and worker control, the labour movement was unable to maintain its conquests in the 1960s. The concluding chapters describe the period of renewed military repression and the continuing efforts of the labour movement to resist.

Author Jackie Lora Jones has questioned the chaotic nature of "the world" all her life. After practicing many of the self-help movement's best methods and experiencing some temporary benefits, she was still left unsatisfied. A Course in Miracles helped her "put the puzzle pieces together" where she learned about the mind's power and its role in making up an illusory world. In Book One of The Wisdom Series(TM) Jackie shares why permanent peace and happiness cannot come from anything external. She shares how she turned the tables on the ego (false self) and her awakening process for remembering our perfect Oneness in Heaven (true Self). In Reality, we are all One-we are All Peace No Pieces.

What if you knew there was only one problem and one solution to all the problems we face? How is peace possible in a world that seems impossible sometimes? How do we heal ourselves in a world where the silent epidemics of suicide, depression, and cyber-bullying run so rampant? Answers to these questions and other topics such as covid-19, black lives matter, parenting, relationships and even E.T.'s, will be found in this book, all discussed within the context of the non-dualistic teachings of A Course in Miracles, in which forgiveness is a key theme in helping one to awaken from the illusion of separation to the reality that we are one in God or Spirit. There is a way to practice forgiveness and experience true peace regardless of what is happening in your life or in the world, which puts you in an empowering position of cause instead of being at the effect or a victim of circumstances. Understanding forgiveness and knowing how to apply it in your everyday life can truly be a life-saver
"Me comenta el censor que: 'El Matrimonio, una decisi n para toda la vida, no se trata de un libro te rico sobre el matrimonio y la familia sino de un libro testimonial en el que el autor nos presenta lo que ha sido su matrimonio y su familia gracias a su fe firme y sostenida en todo momento...En tiempos de tantos ataques al matrimonio y a la Instituci n de la familia es reconfortante leer un libro como este de un matrimonio y familia exitosa precisamente por su fidelidad a Dios'...

Numerous reports of “cancer villages” have appeared in the past decade in both Chinese and Western media, highlighting the downside of China’s economic development. Less generally known is how people experience and understand cancer in areas where there is no agreement on its cause. Who or what do they blame? How do they cope with its onset? Fighting for Breath is the first ethnography to offer a bottom-up account of how rural families strive to make sense of cancer and care for sufferers. It addresses crucial areas of concern such as health, development, morality, and social change in an effort to understand what is at stake in the contemporary Chinese countryside.Encounters with cancer are instances in which social and moral fault lines may become visible. Anna Lora-Wainwright combines powerful narratives and critical engagement with an array of scholarly debates in sociocultural and medical anthropology and in the anthropology of China. The result is a moving exploration of the social inequities endemic to post-1949 China and the enduring rural-urban divide that continues to challenge social justice in the People’s Republic. In-depth case studies present villagers’ “fight for breath” as both a physical and social struggle to reclaim a moral life, ensure family and neighborly support, and critique the state for its uneven welfare provision. Lora-Wainwright depicts their suffering as lived experience, but also as embedded in domestic economies and in the commodification of care that has placed the burden on families and individuals. Fighting for Breath will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers in Chinese studies, sociocultural and medical anthropology, human geography, development studies, and the social study of medicine.

Wabi-Sabi is an ancient aesthetic philosophy rooted in Zen Buddhism, particularly the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence, impermanence, suffering, and emptiness or absence of self-nature. Wabi-Sabi is a view of finding beauty in every aspect of imperfection in nature.In the book title, "Wabi Savvy", "Savvy" is considered a homophone of the word Sabi. Also, the term savvy represents the nature I adopted due to my life experiences.The picture frame represents the act of practicing Wabi-Sabi, placing the broken frame together using gold filling as a way to brace imperfection. On the left side of the framed picture, the young girl is a representation of myself living in the Dominican Republic. The weather and body language are both a representation of gloom. On the right side of the picture, the woman represents the adult version of myself surrounded by the beauty of nature while basking in sunny weather. This setting is a representation of happiness and fulfillment. The rose being handed to my younger self represents the beauty that exists in both realities. The picture is being held together by gold as another practice of Wabi-Sabi to indicate that the past and present can coexist in harmony. The scars placed on my arms which are also filled with gold are another representation of embracing and accepting my physical imperfections.
