 Jhoanna Lynn B. Cruz, Katrina Pallon, "Tingle: Anthology of Pinay Lesbian Writing" English | 2021 | ASIN: B099DH2FJF | EPUB | 0.9 MB Most of the forty-nine works in the book were specifically solicited from the writers I know in response to the question, "What makes you tingle as a lesbian?" Literally, the sensation of "slight prickles, stings, or tremors," the excitement. I purposely didn't give any more qualifiers to that prompts. I wanted the writers themselves to define the terms and enact them on the page. And while the word "tingle" is a homonym for the Tagalog word for "clitoris," many of the pieces submitted were not about sex at all. But all the pieces are about a spark of recognition, whether at the beginning, the middle, or the end, that one loves a woman as a woman. Tingle is the flint.

Committee on National Statistics, National Research Council, Michele Ver Ploeg, "Time-Use Measurement and Research: Report of a Workshop" English | 2000 | pages: 113 | ISBN: 0309070929 | EPUB | 0,2 mb One of the most substantial policy changes in the past decade was the elimination of the main social welfare program for poor families, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, ending the entitlement to cash benefits and replacing it with a policy emphasizing work.

The republic of therapy: Triage and sovereignty in West Africa's time of AIDS By Vinh-Kim Nguyen 2010 | 252 Pages | ISBN: 0822348624 | PDF | 2 MB The Republic of Therapy tells the story of the global response to the HIV epidemic from the perspective of community organizers, activists, and people living with HIV in West Africa. Drawing on his experiences as a physician and anthropologist in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, Vinh-Kim Nguyen focuses on the period between 1994, when effective antiretroviral treatments for HIV were discovered, and 2000, when the global health community acknowledged a right to treatment, making the drugs more available. During the intervening years, when antiretrovirals were scarce in Africa, triage decisions were made determining who would receive lifesaving treatment. Nguyen explains how those decisions altered social relations in West Africa. In 1994, anxious to "break the silence" and "put a face to the epidemic," international agencies unwittingly created a market in which stories about being HIV positive could be bartered for access to limited medical resources. Being able to talk about oneself became a matter of life or death. Tracing the cultural and political logic of triage back to colonial classification systems, Nguyen shows how it persists in contemporary attempts to design, fund, and implement mass treatment programs in the developing world. He argues that as an enactment of decisions about who may live, triage constitutes a partial, mobile form of sovereignty: what might be called therapeutic sovereignty.
