Paperback. Zustand: Good. **Recommended by the New York Public Library among its list of '50 Best New Comics for Adults' in 2023**They have waited 75 years for an acknowledgment that what was done to them was a war crime. They are still waiting.Grandmothers, Our Grandmothers is a beautifully and sensitively rendered narrative of the ongoing crusade of WWII's most courageous survivors: the "Comfort Women"?sex slaves?of the Japanese Imperial Army. This offering in graphic novel format is both a moving tribute and a call to awareness that, though addressing young adults, speaks to all of us.Because crimes against any part of humanity are crimes against all humanity, such acts, and the brave people who endure them, must never be forgotten.Focusing on the "Comfort Women" of his native Korea as well as from other countries, author and artist Han Seong-won tells the stories of women who were coerced, sometimes through abduction, into sexual slavery wherever the Japanese army put down stakes. Through his personal encounters with these valiant women, Han portrays strong individuals who refused to allow their identities to be defined by what was forced upon them. Rather, they are defined by their continuing triumph over pain, loss and memory even though their ordeals remain with them in some form to this day. Now in their nineties, these women are artists, musicians and activists. They share their personal stories with us, and give us their testimony.This book honors so many women, like Grandmother Kang Il-chul, abducted from her home at gunpoint when she was a girl, threatened with murder when she contracted typhoid. And Grandmother Kim Hak-soon, who began giving public testimony in 1991, testified before the UN in 1993, and remained an activist for the rest of her life. It honors women who bore witness on behalf of their mothers, who kept their ordeal a secret and carried it to their graves. It honors those who have been standing in solidarity beside these women over the years.Alongside passionate advocates from younger generations, the Grandmothers in Korea have been protesting on a weekly basis since 1992?speaking for all victims of war and violations of human rights. This is a warm and loving tribute to the Grandmothers and the courage which led them to speak out. This book is a call to all of us to stand up for the basic rights of others.…

Nadezhdu na to, chto bol ot rasstavanija ne vechna. Nadezhdu na to, miloe serdtsu delo najdet vas. Nadezhdu na to, chto luchshee vremja ne pozadi, ono - sejchas. V etoj knige vy najdete desjatki podderzhivajuschikh i otrezvljajuschikh istorij, kotorye trogajut serdtse i rasskazyvajut o tom, kak zhit zhadno, nesterpimo, ne otkladyvaja sebja na potom. Kak podderzhat sebja, esli nuzhno projavit smelost. Kak ne muchit sebja proshlym, a otkrytsja tomu, chto budet zavtra. OB AVTORE: Khan Son Khi - direktor kliniki psikhicheskogo zdorovja I-Khan, psikhoanalitik i detskij psikhiatr. Posle okonchanija meditsinskogo fakulteta Universiteta Korjo i poluchenija stepeni doktora meditsinskikh nauk Khan Son Khi bolee 20 let rabotala v Seulskoj natsionalnoj bolnitse (v nastojaschee vremja Natsionalnyj tsentr psikhicheskogo zdorovja). Posle chego rabotala priglashennym prepodavatelem v Kalifornijskom universitete v Los-Andzhelese (UCLA), zatem byla prezidentom Korejskoj psikhoanaliticheskoj assotsiatsii, a takzhe prepodavala na meditsinskikh fakultetakh Universiteta Korjo i Universiteta Songjungvan.

Osnovyvajas na svoikh opyte i znanijakh v psikhologii, avtor pytaetsja dat docheri sovety kasatelno zhizni, ljubvi, raboty i samovosprijatii. V 37 istorijakh ona delitsja svoimi mysljami o tom, kak zhit, buduchi zhenschinoj, kakie printsipy primenjat v romanticheskoj i professionalnoj sferakh, kak vosprinimat svoi emotsii. S pomoschju etoj knigi avtor, kak zhenschina, mama i psikhoanalitik, nadeetsja pomoch drugim zhenschinam najti otvety na volnujuschie ikh zhiznennye voprosy, dat uteshenie i podderzhku. TSITATY: "Esli ty ne mozhesh pridumat sposob, kak prodolzhit naslazhdatsja zhiznju, i postojanno zlishsja - obratis k etoj knige. Vzbodris, ogljanuvshis na polnuju oshibok i upuschenij, no tem ne menee s interesom prozhituju zhizn mamy. Vpered, moja doch i vse docheri v mire". "V kakoj-to moment vy dolzhny sumet razorvat svjaz s vashej staroj rolju i dvigatsja dalshe. Chtoby rebenok stal vzroslym, on dolzhen separirovatsja ot vospitavshikh ego roditelej. Dlja detej eto nezavisimost, a dlja roditelej - utrata". "Plach dlja rebenka - eto slovar emotsij. Odnako s togo momenta, kak my perestaem agukat i nachinaem ispolzovat "razvityj jazyk", my takzhe staraemsja podavljat slezy, kotorye na samom dele nam neobkhodimy". "Protsess gorevanija - eto popytka najti poterjannuju vesch i dvizhenie k vyzdorovleniju, pozvoljajuschee podderzhivat otnoshenija s utrachennym obektom, pri etom sokhranjaja vospominanija o nem". "V mire net idealnogo vybora, kotoryj sootvetstvoval by vsem uslovijam i udovletvoril by vsekh ljudej. Tak chto ne zhdite varianta s naimenshimi poterjami i ne svjazyvajte sebja nereshitelnostju i alternativnymi izderzhkami. Zanimajtes bespoleznymi delami v svoe udovolstvie i obogatite pochvu zhizni toj zemlej, chto vy pri etom vyroete. Nakoplennyj imenno takim obrazom opyt stanovitsja vashej izjuminkoj i istinnym oruzhiem v zhizni". "Kriterii vybora ljubimogo cheloveka, takie kak kharakter, vneshnost, manera rechi i povedenie, po bolshej chasti opredeljajutsja nashim bessoznatelnym, sformirovannym esche v detstve". "V nashem izranennom mire nedostatochno zabotitsja o svoem zdorove i obespechivat sotsialnuju bezopasnost. Dengi, zdorove i sotsialnyj status nichego ne znachat, kogda na dushe nespokojno". "Emotsii vsegda nakhodjat vykhod. Eto ravnosilno zapolneniju vodoj zabitogo truboprovoda. Odnazhdy on lopnet". "Esli vy zagljanete gluboko vnutr tekh, kto otkazyvaetsja obraschatsja za pomoschju, to obnaruzhite i drugie prichiny podobnogo povedenija. Bolshinstvo iz nikh boitsja okazatsja v zavisimom polozhenii. Ved zavisimost ot kogo-to oznachaet raskrytie sobstvennoj slabosti, a esli o slabosti uznajut, to ee mogut ispolzovat dlja upravlenija i kontrolja". "Nastojaschij egoist idet svoim putem i ne prichinjaet vreda drugim. Poetomu, esli ljudi otnosjatsja k tebe nespravedlivo, daj otpor. Tolko togda mir ne budet smotret na tebja svysoka i otnositsja nebrezhno". 9785041971311. …

This offering in graphic novel format is both a moving tribute and a call to awareness that, though addressing young adults, speaks to all of us.Because crimes against any part of humanity are crimes against all humanity, such acts, and the brave people who endure them, must never be forgotten.Focusing on the "Comfort Women" of his native Korea as well as from other countries, author and artist Han Seong-won tells the stories of women who were coerced, sometimes through abduction, into sexual slavery wherever the Japanese army put down stakes.
