Instead, she calls for unapologetic, place-based Indigenous alternatives to the destructive logics of the settler colonial state, including heteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalist exploitation. Simpson makes clear that its goal can no longer be cultural resurgence as a mechanism for inclusion in a multicultural mosaic. Indigenous resistance is a radical rejection of contemporary colonialism focused around the refusal of the dispossession of both Indigenous bodies and land. In As We Have Always Done, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson locates Indigenous political resurgence as a practice rooted in uniquely Indigenous theorizing, writing, organizing, and thinking. Across North America, Indigenous acts of resistance have in recent years opposed the removal of federal protections for forests and waterways in Indigenous lands, halted the expansion of tar sands extraction and the pipeline construction at Standing Rock, and demanded justice for murdered and missing Indigenous women. Aristotle's key ideas have provoked and stimulated philosophers over many centuries, precisely because they are not cut and dried doctrines, but can be applied and interpreted and developed in various ways, still relevant to problems that confront us.Īckrill shows us how enjoyable and rewarding it is to engage in philosophical arguments with Aristotle. For having to learn a doctrine is a boring task, and specially depressing when you know that it is false but interesting arguments give pleasure and profit whether or not they really establish the alleged conclusions. To Ackrill, what really characterizes Aristotle as a philosopher is not the number and weight of his conclusions / ‘doctrines’, but the power and subtlety of his arguments and ideas and analyses. Ackrill’s aim in this book is not just to impart information, but to arouse interest in the philosophical problems Aristotle tackles, and in his arguments and ideas. This book is a highly selective and impressionistic view of/guide-book to Aristotle's philosophy. Unlike any other book on homosexuality and the church, this is a call to examine your life and consider what God is asking you to lay down to take up your cross and follow him. Through the stories and struggles of gay Christians who are reorienting their lives around the costly obedience required to follow Christ, Mark Yarhouse and Olya Zaporozhets call the church to reorient as well, leaving behind the casual morality that is widespread today to pursue the path of radical discipleship. There is a price to pay in following Christ and devoting our lives to the call of the gospel, and it is one that we all must pay-gay and straight Christians alike. Though we often hear about the gay problem today, there is an even deeper problem in the church today-one that we often overlook. Though we often hear about the gay problem. Costly Obedience: What We Can Learn from the Celibate Gay Christian Community Books by Mark A. Instead, gay Christians who make the difficult choice to align their lives with the biblical view of sexuality are a gift to the church, reminding all of us that spiritual growth and maturity is costly. Costly Obedience: What We Can Learn from the Celibate Gay Christian Community. And yet, the answer is not to weaken the demands of obedience. Far too often, the church has elevated homosexuality above other sins and required a costly obedience from gays that it is unwilling to demand of others. The call to follow Christ is a call to costly obedience for all, not just for gay Christians. Though we often hear about the "gay problem" today, there is an even deeper problem in the church today-one that we often overlook. Her attention then turned to the 1789 French Revolution…until it became clear that the freedoms being fought for were only in the name of men and were not applicable to women. She began a career in literacy, and took up the cause of fighting for the freedom of slaves in French colonies. Actually, Marie Gouze was her name at that point, it was only after his death that she moved to Paris and changed her name to the quite grand Olympe de Gouges. A couple of years later, she was executed by guillotine as a way to warn other politically active women – to send them back to the care of their homes rather than the pursuit of equality.ĭe Gougess husband had died well before she did, just a few years into their unhappy marriage. Well, it was in French, so it was actually titled ‘Déclaration des droits de la femme et de la citoyenne’. In 1791, Olympe de Gouges published a pamphlet titled ‘The Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen’. Importance: The quote gives the reader a sense of Brid’s heightened senses that come with being a fey/werewolf. He doesn’t view Sam as a genuine threat to his power, but it demonstrates that no matter how small the power, he doesn’t want anyone else to have it.īut Brid could tell she was alone, and with the heavy musk of wolf around her, that shouldn’t be.” Importance: Douglas is concerned about Sam avoiding his radar. Still, a necromancer left unchecked could create all sorts of trouble. Importance: This quote demonstrates Sam and Ramon relationship with Brooke and foreshadows how they will care for her. Sam can't complain about much, even if his job isn't the most glamorous one around. I wasn’t much older than Brooke, but she was young enough and tiny enough that Ramon and I both spent more time protecting her than ogling her.” The riveting debut work from celebrated newcomer Lish McBride, Hold Me Closer, Necromancer drops a seemingly average boy into the adventure of a lifetime. I thought it was great that once Zev's family found out he had a male fated mate they were alright with it, and there was not unnecessary drama there. Jonah also wanted to understand everything that was happening and it was great to hear how it was told and how he was able to understand. He just did not let things get him down, but rather just wanted to understand. He did not take anything too seriously while also taking it seriously. Zev was such an endearing character and just rolled with the punches. I also very much enjoyed both MCs especially Zev. I really like the take on fated mates and I thought it made sense. There was really no angst with the MCs and they met at a very young age. I very much enjoyed this shifter romance. Sid’s words give Nirrim a single threshold of hope on which to balance, a narrow precipice of hope, but can Nirrim climb through the mirror and slide into the skin of the girl she imagines herself to be, brave and unafraid of falling? A girl: a sea-faring schemer named Sid whose eyes fastened on Nirrim across a low-lit prison cell as she whispered of magic left like a door, ajar onto a new and undiscovered world. But there are gaps between the bars: whispers of long-forgotten gods, scarlet where the white paint on the walls of the Ward had chipped, an Elysium bird sailing high over the Ward like an omen. Nirrim worked to fit herself inside the narrow confines of this life, the words “it is what it is” like a mantra, like fingers reaching into her mouth, pinching her tongue and keeping her from crying out. They drip with perfume and are corrupt from soft living, and the best our protagonist, Nirrim, can hope for is a life spent creeping in their generous shadows. The High Kith wear their wealth as comfortably as the expensive leather that is forbidden in the Ward. A world that lays itself open for only one faction: the High Kith. “It is what it is.” With such a simple yet foreboding line, Rutkoski paints a vivid portrait of an intriguing, deadly world in the first installment of The Midnight Lie series.
