Half the Sky

Category : Political Science

Pages : 322

Book Description
#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A passionate call to arms against our era’s most pervasive human rights violation—the oppression of women and girls in the developing world. From the bestselling authors of Tightrope, two of our most fiercely moral voices With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope. They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS. Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women’s potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population. Countries such as China have prospered precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing to do; it’s also the best strategy for fighting poverty. Deeply felt, pragmatic, and inspirational, Half the Sky is essential reading for every global citizen.

The Promise of Happiness

Author: Sara Ahmed
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 082239278X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 328

Book Description
The Promise of Happiness is a provocative cultural critique of the imperative to be happy. It asks what follows when we make our desires and even our own happiness conditional on the happiness of others: “I just want you to be happy”; “I’m happy if you’re happy.” Combining philosophy and feminist cultural studies, Sara Ahmed reveals the affective and moral work performed by the “happiness duty,” the expectation that we will be made happy by taking part in that which is deemed good, and that by being happy ourselves, we will make others happy. Ahmed maintains that happiness is a promise that directs us toward certain life choices and away from others. Happiness is promised to those willing to live their lives in the right way. Ahmed draws on the intellectual history of happiness, from classical accounts of ethics as the good life, through seventeenth-century writings on affect and the passions, eighteenth-century debates on virtue and education, and nineteenth-century utilitarianism. She engages with feminist, antiracist, and queer critics who have shown how happiness is used to justify social oppression, and how challenging oppression causes unhappiness. Reading novels and films including Mrs. Dalloway, The Well of Loneliness, Bend It Like Beckham, and Children of Men, Ahmed considers the plight of the figures who challenge and are challenged by the attribution of happiness to particular objects or social ideals: the feminist killjoy, the unhappy queer, the angry black woman, and the melancholic migrant. Through her readings she raises critical questions about the moral order imposed by the injunction to be happy.

Book Description
ISLAM: Path of Infinite Love Sufi literature, accumulated over centuries, proves that loving Allah is the most satisfying spiritual experience. This book describes how to unconditionally love Allah and feel Allah's love in your heart. In Eeshat Ansari's new book, "Islam: Path of Infinite Love", he explores this idea in depth for both Non-Muslims and Muslims alike. After 19 years of extensive research into Quranic text, Hadith and Sufism; Ansari paints a beautiful guide to understanding the roots of Islam which have captivated millions to become the world's fastest growing religion.In his book Ansari demystifies Islam, arguing that when a person is blessed with unconditional love, that person cannot be cruel or oppressive towards others. No wonder, the Quran strongly condemns zulm (oppression) and uses the word zulm a whopping 291 times to discourage it. Therefore, on what grounds can any Muslim support various oppressions like preventing women from acquiring an education or becoming gainfully employed? Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) championed what would have been radically modern ideals in his time such as ushering in the first major peaceful transition of power in human history, when he took over as head of the state of Medina. Similarly, he skillfully made peace with Muslims' irreconcilable enemy with the treaty of Hudaybia.Love is the most effective alternative to violence and oppression. This book TEACHES love. A must read specially for students and youths.Whether you are curious about what Islam is, a practicing Muslim or just seeking a scholarly essay on historically relevant stories; Islam: Path of Infinite Love has something to offer.
