Guittar, "Coming Out: The New Dynamics" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1626370435 | PDF | pages: 173 | 1.6 mb Nicholas Guittar draws on deeply personal interviews with young people to enhance our understanding of "coming out," revealing the changing dynamics of sexual identity. Guittar explores how mainstream norms continue to assert their influence over those with nonnormative sexualities. He also highlights the wide spectrum of coming out experiences.

Cocina de Mexico: Authentic Mexican Recipes by Nancy Silverman English | May 4, 2019 | ISBN: 1096830426 | 74 pages | EPUB | 2.81 Mb Mexican cuisine is rich in history, and flavor - it's not just about the food. In every bite, the true spirit of Mexico comes alive, and tells the story of the roots of its regional cuisine and culture. In other parts of the world, however, the authenticity and richness of Mexican cuisine has been replaced by the boom of fast food chains such as Taco Bell, Qdoba, and local fusion restaurants. The complexities and variety of Mexican cuisine extend far beyond tacos, burritos, nachos, and refried beans!  Sharon Kay Casey, "Clouds of Heaven, Beings of Light" English | ISBN: 1785351699 | 2015 | 128 pages | EPUB | 2 MB How does one describe the indescribable? With trust, the words will come to paint a faint image of that which lives and dwells in us all. This is a true story of a blessed life that through a series of events went to a dark place of abusive relationships and drug addiction, until one night while sitting in a car, Sharon Kay Casey's path changed forever, when she heard God's voice say, "Trust me." A few years later she entered a place of golden light. "When stillness comes flowing over like a well springing from the depths of our being... We see your face, faint at first then brilliantly shining with many lights brighter than the sun itself. We witness the universe moving within you, swirling slowly, then like a spiraling vortex with lights of many colors like precious stones of unspeakable brilliance. Within your being, surely all the heavens dwell. Beams of lightning extend from your head and we your Children of Light stand in awe and wonder."

The consequences of India's liberalization were paradoxical: the influx of global funds for social development and NGOs signaled the co-optation and depoliticization of struggles for women's rights, even as they amplified the visibility and vitalization of queer activism. Roy reveals the specificity of activist and NGO work around issues of gender and sexuality through a decade-long ethnography of two West Bengal organizations, one working on lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues and the other on rural women's empowerment. Tracing changes in feminist governmentality that were entangled in transnational neoliberalism, Roy shows how historical and highly local feminist currents shaped contemporary queer and nonqueer neoliberal feminisms. The interplay between historic techniques of activist governance and queer feminist governmentality's focus on changing the self offers a new way of knowing feminism-both as always already co-opted and as a transformative force in the world.
