I liked this book a lot. Thought-provoking story prompted discussions about culture and what it does to us without our being fully aware. The author manages to combine history and political science and religion and medicine without having it feel like a lecture. She also manages somehow to make both sides of the traumatic story understandable. It's a book that encourages compassion, and I think we can't have too much of that these days.

The first book in another series I absolutely loved; it chronicles the adventures of the working-class Ruggles family and -- I learned recently -- was groundbreaking at the time because children's books before this tended to be about upper-class kids living safe, sterile lives. Not so the Ruggles kids, although these are still children's books so don't expect anything *too* terrible to happen to them. At least they get dirty and worry about money.

HIT MEN—AND WOMEN? R. Dianne Bartlow A Review of Violent Partners: A Breakthrough Plan for Ending the Cycle of Abuse By Linda G. Mills Basic Books And In an Abusive State: How Neoliberalism Appropriated the Feminist Movement Against Sexual Violence By Kristin Bumiller Duke University Press Are women as violent as men? Can the justice system combat domestic violence effectively? Is restorative justice the solution? Linda Mills examines these questions in her investigation of the myths and assumptions surrounding intimate violence. Of those assaulted violently each year, 1.5 million are women—but women can be as violent as men, says Mills. Resistance to this idea is understandable. The battered-women’s and feminist movements have successfully framed “intimate” abuse as a one-sided problem that involves aggressive men who abuse women “because they can.” While this captures the perceived sexist nature of the abuse, it fails to acknowledge women’s contribution, according to Mills. “Although homicide statistics report that women are far more frequently killed by intimate partners than men are, another trend suggests that a different pattern may emerge in the next several years,” she writes. Mills also points to Department of Justice statistics revealing that between 1991 and 2000, the number of girls under 18 convicted of aggravated assault crimes increased 44 percent, while the rate among their male peers decreased by 16 percent. Both male and female aggression must be confronted if we are to have any hope of combating the violence in our society, she writes. Mills’ thinking has provoked hostility, but she is undeterred in her belief that solutions can be found in community-based dispute resolutions, like couples counseling, for those clients who find value in this therapeutic approach. She also endorses the more controversial “restorative justice,” which brings the parties together to discuss the effects of the crime. Used as a way to promote reconciliation after cases of extreme ethnic violence, such as in South Africa and Rwanda, its goal is to promote healing and develop insights on what happened and why, “so that everyone can come to terms with the past and alter the course of the future.” Kristin Bumiller, on the other hand, challenges the assertion that women are as violent as men in intimate relationships. In an Abusive State critiques feminism’s problematic alliance with the neoliberal state, and worries about relying on the coercive power of government to ensure women’s safety. She acknowledges that the feminist-state alliance is largely unavoidable, since battered-women’s shelters rely on the police to help keep their clients safe, and agrees it’s helpful that teachers, doctors and therapists must report suspected domestic violence. But one result of increased surveillance is that victims can be punished for their “failure to protect” their children from viewing the domestic violence they themselves suffered. Shelter residents must apply for state benefits to show they’re taking steps to self-sufficiency, but “these requirements entangle women in an increasingly value-laden welfare program tied to the promotion of the nuclear family…and distrust of women as mothers,” writes Bumiller. Additionally, in conjoint therapy models, violence is recast as a communication disorder, and traumatized women are pressed by therapists to convince their spouses to participate. And she believes the restorative justice solution can leave women at particular risk, especially when they choose to stay in violent families. While Mills offers a heartfelt view of how forgiveness can be a tool of empowerment and healing, Bumiller highlights the unfortunate conditions under which women seek help, particularly from state institutions. She calls for a feminist vision that addresses human dignity and helps women negotiate their empowerment within a dismantled social welfare system. --- R. DIANNE BARTLOW is an assistant professor of gender and women’s studies at California State University, Northridge.

Real Lives Real Listening Intermediate B1 - B2 (Kèm CD) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

I loved this! After Atonement and Enduring Love which were far more serious, and Chesil Beach which I found a little dreary in places. Solar was like a breath of fresh air! For me, it should have been this book that brought McEwan his second Booker Prize. The Nobel prizewinning physicist Michael Beard struggles with his past marriages as though they were a bout of nasty indigestion. His brilliant scientific work is behind him and he struggles to come terms with new ideas about climate change. The book is witty and full of irony; it made me laugh on one or two occasions as well. I'm not a scientist and my knowledge of scientific theories is lamentably poor but nowhere during my reading did I feel that I couldn't understand the science mentioned in the story. I did look up what quantum mechanics and string theory were but only to satisfy my own curiosity. Whatever science was made up for the book it was made to sound very plausible. I thought Solar to be a really good read - darkly satirical writing at its best and one of McEwan's gems!

A sort of Asian fairy tale. Engaging beginning and middle, but it kind of lost oomph toward the end.

When I decided to read this book, it was with low expectations. I had started 'Playing with Fire' about 6 months ago and put it down half way through due to a complete lack of interest combined with annoyance at the writing style and the heroine. Needless to say, I didn't ever pick it up again. So when I started this book, I was "Ho hum, another 'gods being mean' book...". By the end of the second chapter I was caught, hook, line and sinker!! I loved it! Ashlyn and Maddox were great together - I really understood WHY they were right for each other. I didn't ever want to put the book down (I had to of course - life always intervenes...). I ever shed a few (or more) tears toward the end of the book. (Not something that happens terribly often anymore!!) I'm definitely reading the next in the series!

It's not the best book I've read, but I think it is a very good book for summer. By saying so, I mean that you don't have to read a whole chapter (or more..) to be able to put it down again. For summer, that's a good thing. :) So overall i think that it is a good ya book :) and I would like to read the next book as well.
