Rebel Mother by Peter Andreas Pdf

“Those who enjoyed Jeannette Walls’s The Glass Castle will find much to admire” (Booklist, starred review) in this “thoroughly engrossing” (The New York Times Book Review) memoir about a boy on the run with his mother, as she abducts him to Latin America in search of the revolution. Carol Andreas was a traditional 1950s housewife from a small Mennonite town in central Kansas who became a radical feminist and Marxist revolutionary. From the late sixties to the early eighties, she went through multiple husbands and countless lovers while living in three states and five countries. She took her youngest son, Peter, with her wherever she went, even kidnapping him and running off to South America after his straitlaced father won a long and bitter custody fight. They were chasing the revolution together, though the more they chased it the more distant it became. They battled the bad “isms” (sexism, imperialism, capitalism, fascism, consumerism), and fought for the good “isms” (feminism, socialism, communism, egalitarianism). Between the ages of five and eleven, Peter lived in more than a dozen homes, moving from the comfortably bland suburbs of Detroit to a hippie commune in Berkeley to a socialist collective farm in pre-military coup Chile to highland villages and coastal shantytowns in Peru. When they secretly returned to America they settled down clandestinely in Denver, where his mother changed her name to hide from his father. A “luminous memoir” (Publishers Marketplace, starred review) and “an illuminating portrait of a childhood of excitement, adventure, and love” (Kirkus Reviews) this is an extraordinary account of a deep mother-son bond and the joy and toll of growing up in a radical age. Peter Andreas is an insightful and candid narrator of “a profound and enlightening book that will open readers up to different ideas about love, acceptance, and the bond between mother and son” (Library Journal, starred review).

Rebel Buddha by Rinpoche Dzogchen Ponlop Pdf

This young Tibetan lama is calling on spiritual seekers, especially today's youth, to go against the status quo of complacency and invoke the "rebel buddha" within to wake up and instigate inner change. Ethan Nichtern, author of One City: A Declaration of Interdependence, says that "Rinpoche's voice roars with the relaxed confidence of authenticity, and the fierce urgency of now". Dzogchen Ponlop offers an extraordinary introduction to Buddhist philosophy and practice. Extraordinary because it is both completely fresh in its viewpoint and language, and because it's completely authentic to the Buddhist tradition and true to his training as a Tibetan lama.

Explaining and Resisting Trumpism Post-2020 by Laura Finley,Matthew Johnson Pdf

This edited volume sheds light on why, even though he lost the 2020 election, more than 74 million people—nearly half of the American population—voted for Donald Trump. In his four years, President Trump was a divisive figure. Authored by scholars and activists from an array of disciplinary areas and backgrounds, this book addresses why certain groups of voters found Trump appealing, how the Trump campaign utilized fear and conspiracy theories to woo voters, lessons Democrats should learn from the 2020 election, and the role activism had in the election and in the continuation or amelioration of Trumpism.
