Pero Cooper nos muestra que hay más en la historia que eso. La elocuente ira de las mujeres negras es lo que convierte a Serena Williams en una tenista tan poderosa. Es lo que hace que los himnos del girl power de Beyoncé resuenen con tanta fuerza. Es lo que convierte a Michelle Obama en un ícono.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLa ira elocuente nos mantiene a todos honestos y responsables.

Y fue necesaria otra intervención, esta vez protagonizada por una de sus amigas, para convertir a Brittney en la feroz feminista que es hoy. En el mundo de Brittney Cooper, ni las chicas malas ni los cabrones ganan. Pero las amigas emergen como héroes. Este libro sostiene que, en última instancia, el feminismo, la amistad y la fe en los propios superpoderes es todo lo que realmente necesitamos para volver a poner las cosas en orden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eUN LIBRO MEJOR\/MÁS ESPERADO DE 2018 POR:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlamour\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLector de Chicago\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e• Bullicio\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e•\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32527013838953,"sku":"9781250112880","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0244\/3467\/1721\/products\/eloquent-rage-a-black-feminist-discovers-her-superpower-9266550.jpg?v=1764920405"},{"product_id":"brown-album-essays-on-exile-and-identity","title":"Álbum marrón | Ensayos sobre el exilio y la identidad","description":"\u003cp\u003e*Un original vintage* Del aclamado novelista y ensayista, una colección conmovedora y bellamente interpretada de ensayos personales, que narran la vida de los inmigrantes e iraníes-estadounidenses en nuestro momento contemporáneo. La familia del novelista Porochista Khakpour se mudó a Los Ángeles después de huir de la Revolución iraní, renunciando a sus éxitos sólo para ser recibidos por una cultura alienante. Crecer como inmigrante en Estados Unidos significa que uno tiene que abrirse camino a través de una maraña confusa de culturas y expectativas en conflicto. Y Porochista se ve arrastrada entre la ostentosa cultura de Tehrangeles, un enclave de iraníes y persas ricos en Los Ángeles, la vida y cultura modestas de su propia familia y convertirse en una estadounidense asimilada. Rebeldes porochistas: se decolora el cabello y huye a la costa este, donde encuentra su comunidad: otras personas que escriben y piensan en los márgenes. Pero ocurre el 11 de septiembre y con horror, Porochista observa desde la ventana de su apartamento cómo caen las torres. El extremismo y el miedo a Oriente Medio aumentan después y nuevamente con la elección de Donald Trump. Porochista se ve obligado a lidiar finalmente con lo que significa ser del Medio Oriente e iraní, un inmigrante y un refugiado en nuestro país hoy. Brown Album es una conmovedora colección de ensayos, a veces humorísticos y a veces profundos, extraídos de más de una década del trabajo de Porochista y con material nuevo incluido.

The South and West equally depended on extractive industries-cotton in the former and mining, cattle, and oil in the latter-giving rise a new birth of white male oligarchy, despite the guarantees provided by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and the economic opportunities afforded by expansion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo reveal why this happened, \u003cem\u003eHow the South Won the Civil War \u003c\/em\u003etraces the story of the American paradox, the competing claims of equality and subordination woven into the nation's fabric and identity.

New states entered the Union in the late nineteenth century and western and southern leaders found yet more common ground.

Our survival depends on whether we grasp and resolve this paradox in time.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback; 224 pages \/ English","offer_id":42834514870377,"sku":"9781789044188","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0244\/3467\/1721\/files\/mystical-activism-by-john-c-robinson-7609551.jpg?v=1770341408"},{"product_id":"one-day-everyone-will-have-always-been-against-this-national-book-award","title":"One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This: National Book Award","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES \u003c\/i\u003eBESTSELLER - NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER - A \u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES \u003c\/i\u003eNOTABLE BOOK - PALESTINE BOOK AWARD WINNER - FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR CRITICISM - From award-winning novelist and journalist Omar El Akkad comes a powerful reckoning with what it means to live in a West that betrays its fundamental values. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[A] bracing memoir and manifesto.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"I can't think of a more important piece of writing to read right now.

A place of justice for all. But in the past twenty years, reporting on the War on Terror, Ferguson, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and more, and watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, El Akkad has come to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie. That there will always be entire groups of human beings it has never intended to treat as fully human--not just Arabs or Muslims or immigrants, but whoever falls outside the boundaries of privilege. \u003ci\u003eOne Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This\u003c\/i\u003e is a chronicle of that painful realization, a moral grappling with what it means, as a citizen of the U.S., as a father, to carve out some sense of possibility in a time of carnage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is El Akkad's nonfiction debut, his most raw and vulnerable work to date, a heartsick breakup letter with the West. It is a brilliant articulation of the same breakup we are watching all over the United States, in family rooms, on college campuses, on city streets; the consequences of this rupture are just beginning. This book is for all the people who want something better than what the West has served up. This is the book for our time.","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42850589212777,"sku":"9780593804148","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0244\/3467\/1721\/files\/one-day-everyone-will-have-always-been-against-this-national-book-award-7041623.jpg?v=1769489888"},{"product_id":"pocket-constitution-25-pack-u-s-constitution-with-index-declaration-of-independence","title":"Pocket Constitution (25 Pack): U.S. Constitution with Index \u0026 Declaration of Independence","description":"This pocket-sized booklet contains the United States Constitution (including The Bill of Rights and Amendments 11-27), the Declaration of Independence, Index to the Constitution, selected quotes from the founding fathers, dates to remember.
