Speak Now: Marriage Equality on Trial: The Story of Hollingsworth V. Perry

Speak Now: Marriage Equality on Trial: The Story of Hollingsworth V. Perry

Kenji Yoshino

Crown Publishing Group (NY)
2016
nidottu
A renowned legal scholar tells the definitive story of Hollingsworth v. Perry, the trial that stands as the most potent argument for marriage equality Speak Now tells the story of a watershed trial that unfolded over twelve tense days in California in 2010. A trial that legalized same-sex marriage in our most populous state. A trial that interrogated the nature of marriage, the political status of gays and lesbians, the ideal circumstances for raising children, and the ability of direct democracy to protect fundamental rights. A trial that stands as the most potent argument for marriage equality this nation has ever seen. In telling the story of Hollingsworth v. Perry, the groundbreaking federal lawsuit against Proposition 8, Kenji Yoshino has also written a paean to the vanishing civil trial--an oasis of rationality in what is often a decidedly uncivil debate. Above all, this book is a work of deep humanity, in which Yoshino brings abstract legal arguments to life by sharing his own story of finding love, marrying, and having children as a gay man. Intellectually rigorous and profoundly compassionate, Speak Now is the definitive account of a landmark civil-rights trial. -- Winner, Stonewall Book Award

From Gallipoli to Kokoda and beyond - the story of our greatest general and the power, politics and tragedy of command General Sir Thomas Blamey, Commander-in-Chief of Australian Military Forces during World War II, was our highest-ranking soldier and arguably our most controversial.Blamey was an abrasive and shrewd commander, who could act both decisively and brutally, creating enemies within and outside the military. That reputation, encouraged in the years after the war by his rivals, has followed him ever since and, unlike many other military heroes, his contributions to Australia's defence have been downplayed.In this re-evaluation of our most senior military commander, Brent Taylor traces Blamey's career, describing the highs and the lows, and dispassionately applies modern business benchmarks to calculate his success as a leader in one very key area: how many lives saved? In Taylor's estimation, more than 30,000 Diggers' lives.Without glossing over Blamey's prickly character or the controversial incidents he was involved in, Taylor assesses how Blamey - schooled in battle under John Monash - dealt with the towering political and military leaders of the day, including a domineering General Douglas MacArthur, an antagonistic Australian government, a wily British prime minister and a ruthless Japanese command, to lead Australian troops to success while also keeping them safe.In challenging the popular view of Blamey as a testy, aloof man out of touch with and disloyal to his troops, Taylor declares him a hero who always stood up to foreign agendas to get the best outcomes for the Diggers and his country.

Rachel Moores and her husband David operated a cotton plantation in the bottoms of the Sulphur River in North East Texas. From that vantage point, they viewed the changing fortunes of Texas as the American Civil War opened their privileged lifestyle. David went to war while the task of operating this large farming enterprise fell to Rachel. More than 2000 acres and dozens of enslaved people fell to her to manage. This diary chronicles her struggles and provides a priceless voice of a woman having to adapt and overcome the adversities of that violent age. Female perspectives often get overlooked when discussing the American Civil War and the effects of distant events often had catastrophic implications on the folks back home. Rachel’s Moores diary provides a priceless window into the changing realities of Texans who once bet their futures on the value of cotton. This diary and journal will be an important addition to the scholarship about elite white women and their lives in the antebellum south. This manuscript is unique in that is is an extensive and detailed look into the life of a woman of the slave-owning class in frontier Texas, offering not only her vivid view of the slave system but of the daily life of a plantation mistress and of an invalid seeking a cure for her disease from New Orleans to New York.
