Book Description
Uses historical case studies to illuminate womens claims to emancipation and to sexual subjectivity during the tumultuous Wilhelmine and Weimar periods in Germany. Desiring Emancipation traces middle-class German womens claims to gender emancipation and sexual subjectivity in the pre-Nazi era. The emergence of homosexual identities and concepts in this same time frame provided the context for expression of individual struggles with self, femininity, and sex. The book asks how women used new concepts and opportunities to construct selves in relationship to family, society, state, and culture. Taking a queer approach, Desiring Emancipations goal is not to find homosexuals in history, but to analyze how women reworked categories of gender and sex. Marti M. Lybeck interrogates their desires, demonstrating that emancipation was fraught with conflict, anachronism, and disappointment. Each chapter is a microhistorical recreation of the actions, writings, contexts, and conflicts of specific groups of women. The topics include the experience of first-generation university students, public debates about female homosexuality, and the stories of three civil servants whose careers were ruined by workplace accusations of homosexuality. The book concludes with a debate between the women who joined the 1920s homosexual movement on the meanings of their new identities.

Book Description
In The Long Emancipation Rinaldo Walcott posits that Black people globally live in the time of emancipation and that emancipation is definitely not freedom. Taking examples from across the globe, he argues that wherever Black people have been emancipated from slavery and colonization, a potential freedom has been thwarted. Walcott names this condition the long emancipation—the ongoing interdiction of potential Black freedom and the continuation of the juridical and legislative status of Black nonbeing. Stating that Black people have yet to experience freedom, Walcott shows that being Black in the world is to exist in the time of emancipation in which Black people must constantly fashion alternate conceptions of freedom and reality through expressive culture. Given that Black unfreedom lies at the center of the making of the modern world, the attainment of freedom for Black people, Walcott contends, will transform the human experience worldwide. With The Long Emancipation, Walcott offers a new humanism that begins by acknowledging that present conceptions of what it means to be human do not currently include Black people.

Book Description
So surrendering to God's will created more heartache for me. Living arrangements were changed with my friend, feelings were hurt, tears were shed, and in my heart I was not sure that this was what I really wanted to do. Nevertheless, I knew that this was the desire that was in God's heart for me. The epiphany in that season was that there was no one else to blame. I was the roadblock. God was taking me somewhere. I wasn't sure where, but I had to get out of my own way so that I might clearly hear His instruction. Things didn't get much easier. As the chemo treatments progressed, my son began to get more fragile. He lost his hair and became skeletal thin. The child psychologist came in to talk to him. She asked him what he liked to do; he didn't say one word. She asked him what he like to eat; still he said nothing. She asked, "Is there any questions you would like to ask me?" He broke down in tears. He could not stop his self because he was crying from the very bottom of his soul. On the journey of spiritual enlightenment you will find that many things that appear to be roadblocks of the devil are actual close encounters with Godly strategies. Oftentimes, our self will is so strong in hindering us from our divine destiny that God must use seeming catastrophic moments to humble out will and cause us to surrender to His Sovereign will and purpose. It is often a very painful process but it is the most rewarding experience because it places you in the divine will of God. I came to the realization that if I had not gone through the things that I went through I would not have become the woman that God designed me to be. I would have settled for an easier plan that would have resulted in less wisdom and less purpose. Tiffany Monique is a charismatic new author from Columbus, Ohio; often underestimated due to her seemingly passive introverted temperament. Her quiet observation has been what has allowed her to take notice of the small things that God reveals in every moment of life. It is Tiffany's desire that her gift will let the light of God shine through.
