Mercedes Sosa - The Voice of Hope by Anette Christensen Pdf

Mercedes Sosa, one of the most influential artists of all time, was a woman who overcame differences and never stopped doing what she believed was right. Despite personal losses and constant persecution, her dedication to helping the poor and the working class was the driving force behind her music. Nicknamed, "The Voice of the Voiceless", Sosa used her voice to transmit the strength and fire needed for cultural and personal change and for decades, she was a dynamic force in shaping Latin America. Mercedes Sosa - The Voice of Hope portrays Sosa's extraordinary life and career and draws a psychological profile that provides insight into the artist's character and actions and reveals how her upbringing, political environment and personal afflictions shaped her. Through Anette Christensen's eyes, we see the incredible journey of Mercedes Sosa, and the impact this remarkable woman had on the world. We feel her pain, her joy, her triumphs, and her struggles, as if they were our own. And in the process, we discover the transformative power of art, music, and human connection. Christensen's work is not just a tribute to Sosa's legacy; it is also a guide to healing and growth. By sharing her own personal journey, she shows us how we can use the lessons of Sosa's life to overcome our own challenges and find a path to inner peace. The Voice of Hope is a testament to the power of compassion and empathy, and the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. It is a reminder that we all have the strength within us to make a difference in the world, no matter how small or large and it will leave you feeling empowered, uplifted, and ready to face whatever challenges come your way. (2nd edition) Endorsements "In this work, you will find a new and touching perspective on our beloved Mercedes. It is a heartfelt and affectionate tribute honoring the life of my mother. Thank you, Anette, for all your efforts in the name of the Mercedes Sosa Foundation." - Fabián Matus, son of Mercedes Sosa and president of The Mercedes Sosa Foundation until his death on March 15, 2019 From the first page, I was moved and amazed by how Aunt Mercedes manages to travel through time and distance and generate admiration and commitment in Anette to tell the story of who Mercedes really was and make her visible to the reader. In these times where art is as fleeting as life itself, that is quite a challenge. Those looking for more than passing entertainment should turn to and read this book knowing that it is well-founded and professionally written with an honest and sincere heart. Anette's goal was to capture Mercedes' life as an artist and as a person and Anette's mission has been accomplished. She nailed it! - Coqui Sosa, Mercedes Sosa's nephew, Singer, Author and Cultural Ambassador in the state of Tucumán "The Author's profound connection with Mercedes Sosa and subsequent transformation is a testament of the restoring im-pact of positive connections. The author does more than just entertain the reader or spark the reader's interest. She spreads hope and knowledge." - Pauline Skeates, Therapist, Director of Insight-International and Developer of Insight Focused Therapy, New Zealand Tribute Konstantin Wecker, singer and poet, Germany More info: mercedes-sosa.com facebook.com/AuthorAnetteChristensen

Communitarianism and Its Critics by Daniel A. Bell Pdf

Many have criticized liberalism for being too individualist, but few have offered an alternative that goes beyond a vague affirmation of the need for community. In this entertaining book, written in dialogue form, Daniel Bell fills this gap, presenting and defending a distinctively communitarian theory against the objections of a liberal critic. In a Paris cafe Anne, a strong supporter of communitarian ideals, and Philip, her querulous critic, debate the issues. Drawing on the works of such thinkers as Charles Taylor, Michael Sandel, and Alasdair MacIntyre, Anne attacks liberalism's individualistic view of the person by pointing to our social embeddedness. She then develops Michael Walzer's idea that political thinking involves the interpretation of shared meanings emerging from the political life of a community, and rebuts Philip's criticism that this approach damages her case by being conservative and relativistic. She goes on to develop a justification of communal life and to answer the criticism that communitarians lack an alternative moral and political vision. The book ends with two later discussions, by Will Kymlicka and Daniel Bell, in which Anne and another friend, Louise, argue about the merits of the book's earlier debate and put it in perspective. Daniel Bell's book is a provocative defence of a distinctively communitarian theory which will stimulate interest and debate among both students of political theory and those approaching the subject for the first time.

Cantora by Melisa Fernández Nitsche Pdf

Sing out! With a stunning, graphic style and a melodious text, this picture book tells the story of Latin American icon Mercedes Sosa and how she became the voice of a people from exile to triumph. What if a voice became a symbol of justice? I’m here to offer my heart, said that voice. The folk rhythm of the bombo drum beats like a heart, with a resonant voice singing the truth of her people. Mercedes Sosa sang about what it means to be human, and her songs of struggle always spoke the truth of the injustice that so many workers and families in Latin America faced. As a teen, she won a local radio contest, and as her confidence grew, so did her fame. From a folk festival to Carnegie Hall and the Sistine Chapel, Mercedes performed the world over, sharing stories through song. But not everyone loved her singing: a military dictatorship ruled over Argentina, and they saw the power of her voice. Even from exile, Mercedes Sosa was a beacon of freedom for her people, and when she returned to her homeland, she persisted in her work: to be the voice of the voiceless. Adding a personal touch as a fellow Argentinean, Melisa Fernández Nitsche fills her debut picture book with bright and breathtaking illustrations that will surely inspire and empower young readers as they read about the impact one person's voice can have.

Turbulence by Annette Herfkens Pdf

A riveting, inspirational true story of an incredibly resilient woman who broke professional barriers as a Dutch banker, was the sole survivor of Vietnam Airlines Flight 474, found love after the loss of her fiance, and continues to raise her autistic son, never wavering in her optimism. On the morning of November 14, 1992, Annette Herfkens, a top Dutch banker (and one of the few female international bond traders on Wall Street), packed her luggage for a romantic getaway with her longtime fiance, Willem. At 6:25 that morning, Annette and Willem boarded the plane out of Ho Chi Minh City, with twenty-three other passengers and six crew members, excited to finally have a vacation together. Six minutes before landing, flying at speed of 300 miles per hour, the plane lost altitude and crashed along a mountain ridge in the jungle of Vietnam. At first Annette heard the voices of other passengers, but soon they went quiet. Annette was the only survivor. For eight days she lay injured and alone, with only rainwater to sustain her. Presumed dead, her obituary made it into local newspapers. What followed is an incredible story of survival, mystery, and the endurance of spirit. Even after surviving and learning to cope with her harrowing experience, Annette’s biggest life challenge began years later, when her son Maxi was diagnosed with autism. As she weathered the joys and challenges of raising Maxi, Annette often called upon the profound insights she learned during those eight days, viewing every turbulent event in her life with the unflinching optimism of a true survivor. This is an inspiring account of one woman’s journey and perseverance, as a plane-crash survivor and even more so as a devoted mother to her autistic son, but also of discovering strength and beauty in unexpected places.
