Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The United States is in a state of decline-a reality decades in the making. At the thin end of the wedge sits Appalachia, one of the nation's most deprived regions, mythologized by outsiders and misunderstood the world over.Embedded as a therapist within this community, Rayelle Davis frames the addiction, suicide, and 'diseases of despair' that plague the region as a consequence of cultural trauma, exploitation, and systemic neglect. Her work is a searing exploration of generational adversity and a powerful indictment of the psychological abuse of the American Dream.Davis reveals a profound truth: Appalachian trauma is colonial trauma. As in exploited nations abroad, everything of value-from wealth and health to life itself-is extracted by a distant elite. This courageous book exposes the predatory systems of power and challenges everything we think we know about identity, sovereignty, and the actual cost of inequality in America.In a time of extreme political polarization,Money in the Mountainsis not a requiem for Appalachia, but a manifesto for collective healing.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The1990s were a cultural watershed, marking a turning point in popular music, television, cinema, literature and fashion. Nestled between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 9/11attacks, the decade witnessed the 'end of history' and the birth of the internet, the consolidation of neoliberalism, and a political urgency embodied by the anti-globalisation movement. Now in the rearview mirror, this pivotal decade appears as a time to be reckoned with, its history yet to be written, and we have only begun to come to terms with its lasting significance.This anthology dives into the contemporary fascination with the '90s. Plotting a playful course between sociology and cultural studies on the one hand, and giddy nostalgia on the other, the book charts decisive developments of the decade to fully apprehend its resonances today.Covering everything from 'girl power,'Star Trekand hip-hop, to queer cinema, anarchist counterculture and the erotic thriller,The Return of the '90sexcavates key moments in '90s culture and uncovers its multiple reckonings in the present.…
