CLARA BESS wasn't at all prepared for what she unearthed at the bottom of her mother's keepsake box. Not in with legal papers, not in her own baby book, not in the safe even.On the day of her 50th birthday, Clara Bess Caldwell was not with her family basking in the joy of a blissful Christmas Day winding down. She was not enjoying eggnog or coffee by a fireplace, nor was she checking a goose roasting in the oven.Clara Bess was at her mother's house, going through her personal effects, something she had put off for several weeks. Her children, her husband, her siblings, had all urged her to wait another day. To not put herself through this ordeal on Christmas Day."But it was her birthday, too." Clara Bess reminded them.Clara Bess read, with shock and no small degree of confusion, the line on her birth certificate where her mother's name should be. It did not read Lily Isabella Sawyer.Clara Bess rode waves of confusion for several weeks, unsure what to make of the erroneous information. Afraid it could be true, she couldn't bring herself to go to the courthouse, or the hospital, to have it corrected. Little things pinged in her memory, things that pointed to the unbelievable possibility.Clara Bess was adopted.Where, then, were the adoption papers?

The Enigma of Clarence Thomas

The Enigma of Clarence Thomas

Corey Robin

Picador USA

The Enigma of Clarence Thomas is a groundbreaking revisionist take on the Supreme Court justice everyone knows about but no one knows. "One of the marvels of Robin's razor-sharp book is how carefully he marshals his evidence.... It isn't every day that reading about ideas can be both so gratifying and unsettling." - The New York Times Most people can tell you two things about Clarence Thomas: Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment, and he almost never speaks from the bench. Here are some things they don't know: Thomas is a black nationalist. In college he memorized the speeches of Malcolm X. He believes white people are incurably racist. In the first examination of its kind, Corey Robin- one of the foremost analysts of the right (The Reactionary Mind) - delves deeply into both Thomas's biography and his jurisprudence, masterfully reading his Supreme Court opinions against the backdrop of his autobiographical and political writings and speeches. The hidden source of Thomas's conservative views, Robin shows, is a profound skepticism that racism can be overcome. Thomas is convinced that any government action on behalf of African-Americans will be tainted by racism; the most African-Americans can hope for is that white people will get out of their way. There's a reason, Robin concludes, why liberals often complain that Thomas doesn't speak but seldom pay attention when he does. Were they to listen, they'd hear a racial pessimism that often sounds similar to their own. Cutting across the ideological spectrum, this unacknowledged consensus about the impossibility of progress is key to understanding today's political stalemate.

My Daddy's Gone: (But My Father is Still Here)

My Daddy's Gone: (But My Father is Still Here)

Robyn D. Clarke

Chromatikids LLC
2018
nidottu
Children who grow up without fathers have long been the public subject of pity, scorn and derision due to factors beyond their control. Similarly, single mothers are often demonized or lumped into a monolithic group that rarely takes into account the individual circumstances that led to their single parent status. It's true that in a perfect world, all children would be born to a mother and father who are bound together for life; and who both make meeting their children's needs a central relationship goal. But we don't live in a perfect world. As such, this book serves a few purposes. First, it is for those children who, for one reason or another, do not live with both parents under one roof; namely, their fathers. Second, this book is also for those mothers who choose to take on the full responsibility to raise these precious young souls WITHOUT badmouthing the father who has chosen not to be in their child's life. This book helps those moms who struggle to provide an honest and child-affirming answer to the question most of these children eventually ask: "Where's my daddy?" Thirdly, this book is particularly directed to mothers and children in households of faith, who believe in the concept of God as the loving Father of humanity.

While it is difficult for adults to understand the extent of changes in the world brought about by the 2020 pandemic, it must be so much more confusing to children.

While I Wait shows children waiting for bits of life to re-open and return to normal, while at the same time having fun and using their creativity indoors. With each page featuring a different style of artwork from a unique artist, While I Wait displays lessons in patience, creative thinking, and hope that children will carry into 2021 and for the rest of their lives.

Special Responsibilities

Special Responsibilities

Mlada Bukovansky; Ian Clark; Robyn Eckersley; Richard Price; Christian Reus-Smit; Nicholas J. Wheeler

Cambridge University Press
2012
sidottu
The language of special responsibilities is ubiquitous in world politics, with policymakers and commentators alike speaking and acting as though particular states have, or ought to have, unique obligations in managing global problems. Surprisingly, scholars are yet to provide any in-depth analysis of this fascinating aspect of world politics. This path-breaking study examines the nature of special responsibilities, the complex politics that surround them and how they condition international social power. The argument is illustrated with detailed case-studies of nuclear proliferation, climate change and global finance. All three problems have been addressed by an allocation of special responsibilities, but while this has structured politics in these areas, it has also been the subject of ongoing contestation. With a focus on the United States, this book argues that power must be understood as a social phenomenon and that American power varies significantly across security, economic and environmental domains.
