Hardback. Zustand: Good. Inspired by true events, One Hen tells the story of Kojo, a boy from Ghana who turns a small loan into a thriving farm and a livelihood for many. After his father died, Kojo had to quit school to help his mother collect firewood to sell at the market. When his mother receives a loan from some village families, she gives a little money to her son. With this tiny loan, Kojo buys a hen. A year later, Kojo has built up a flock of 25 hens. With his earnings Kojo is able to return to school. Soon Kojo's farm grows to become the largest in the region. Kojo's story is inspired by the life of Kwabena Darko, who as a boy started a tiny poultry farm just like Kojo's, which later grew to be the largest in Ghana, and one of the largest in west Africa. Kwabena also started a trust that gives out small loans to people who cannot get a loan from a bank. One Hen shows what happens when a little help makes a big difference. The final pages of One Hen explain the microloan system and include a list of relevant organizations for children to explore. One Hen is part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens. Fernandes, Eugenie (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. After years of teaching women's studies courses and seeing the frustration, paralysis and depression of young students who grapple with the hard realities of social activism, Leela Fernandes has written a social critique that examines contemporary feminism and social justice movements. She discusses straightforwardly the problems with social justice organizations, academia and identity politics. She also poses a solution: that individuals--feminists and other social justice activists--create their own non-institutional spiritual base, one that will sustain them through the hard ethical choices needed in contemporary social justice activism.  Speaking of political and spiritual transformation in the same breath, she presses for a sacred understanding of our selves both as individuals and as a part of a larger interconnected world.In offering a compelling alternative vision of feminist practice--demanding nothing less that a spiritual revolution--Fernandes has taken the next step. Transforming Feminist Practice is an indispensable book for activistas and thinkers. -- Gloria E. Anzaldúa  Leela Fernandes' refreshing new book--which argues that spiritual social activism offers a material way to create change--is required reading for all those concerned to create a more just world. In this courageous and timely volume, Fernandes demonstrates how to undermine the misguided dichotomy between the spiritual and the material, and thus provides possibilities for all of us who are politically engaged to imagine alternatives to the current political impasse in which we find ourselves. Brava! -- Kum-Kum Bhavnani, Professor of Sociology and Chair of the Women, Culture and Development Program, UCSB  Courageous.Provocative.Deeply inspiring. Leela Fernandes travels right to the heart of feminism's most cherished practices with a map of the transformative power of the spiritual at a time when our radical social projects most urgently need it. We cannot afford to ignore this invitational challenge. -- M. Jacqui Alexander.…

Hohn, named one of CBC's "6 Black Canadian writers to watch" Louise Bennett Coverley, better known as Miss Lou, was an iconic poet and entertainer known for popularizing the use of patois in music and poetry internationally--helping to pave the way for artists like Harry Belafonte and Bob Marley to use patois in their work.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. An insightful yet easy to understand book that looks at alternative relationships and makes sense of the non-monogamous/polyamorous way of life.The quickest way to destroy a relationship is to make it fit into something it is not. Monogamy is a term that humans have used to define their relationships - that we should only be attached to one person for our entire (adult) lives. What if, instead of trying to make our relationships fit outdated and inaccurate models, we took the plunge and opened our minds to the possibility of other relationship styles? What if we admitted that for some people monogamy just doesn't work, and accepted that there are other paths to follow?Having an open mind about many things in life can introduce the possibility of various positive aspects that you never even thought about before, often making life more enjoyable. Instead of seeing the world through a black and white lens, it is like seeing it through a wide range of colors.With chapters that include an understanding of how being single and solo-polyamorous, female and poly and where to begin, this book will help both couples and individuals navigate the world of alternative relationships.…
