![]() ![]() The paler you are in most of Asia, the more socieconomic currency is afforded to you based off of your looks. Pale skin was seen in ancient China as a signifier of being able to stay indoors during the daytime rather than being outside working, and a pale complexion became synonymous with nobility and wealth in Chinese culture. Interestingly, the roots of colorism have different origins in different countries though pale skin, in general, was shorthand for classism, in China and South Asia. I pulled these articles on colorism in Asia to show the prevalence of it there. from Time Magazine: The Difference Between Racism and Colorism And make no mistake, white Americans are just as “colorist” as their brown brothers and sisters. Here in the U.S., because we are such a diverse population with citizens hailing from all corners of the earth, our brand of colorism is both homegrown and imported. It’s a term that defines racism in terms of skin color, favoring lighter toned skin, and it’s not limited to one race or one country.Ĭolorism is a societal ill felt in many places all around the world, including Latin America, East and Southeast Asia, the Caribbean and Africa. Pulitzer Prize author Alice Walker coined the term “colorism” in 1982 to mean the “prejudicial or preferential treatment of same-race people based solely on their color.” ![]() ![]() Combine these books with lessons on skin color and the beauty in all shades.

Apple TV+ today announced a series order for “Wool,” a world building drama series based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy of dystopian novels that will star Rebecca Ferguson (“Dune,” “Mission: Impossible” films), who will also serve as executive producer. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, The Master… was cast aside for more pressing reading.įortunately, the worst of the storm clouds passed, free time returned, and I thought to give this McGilchrist fellow a second chance. ![]() Alas, a few pages into Iain’s book, it was clear this was yet another of Amazon’s dud suggestions: not at all the practical guide to therapeutic intervention I needed. Deciding I should learn more, I searched Amazon for books about ‘right brain therapy’ and was duly recommended The Master and His Emissary, which I hurriedly ordered along with some other titles. Several years ago, while a family member was struggling with mental illness, I was introduced to the intriguing idea of ‘right brain to right brain’ therapy. No book has had a more profound impact on my thinking and subsequent life choices than The Master and His Emissary, albeit my first perusal was inauspicious. It is a great pleasure to submit an essay for Channel McGilchrist. ![]() ![]() ![]() As Nomadland steers its westerly course – from the Baftas in London to the Oscars in Los Angeles – it is living a dream that it knows is a lie.Ĭondé Nast Traveler called it “a love letter to America’s wide open spaces”, which is true up to a point, but this ignores the pathos, poverty and desperation at its core. The road has been cleared, the gold rush is on, but the Hollywood happy ending feels at odds with the film. ![]() Shot for $5m and largely featuring amateur actors, it is the little movie that could: this year’s rags-to-riches story, beloved by the critics and odds-setters alike. I t has been a wild ride for Nomadland, Chloé Zhao’s roving portrait of the US’s rootless modern migrants. ![]() ![]() ![]() To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.

Lucy Hutton is the executive assistant to one of the CEOs of a publishing company. This is 100% one of those books that is worth the hype, in my opinion. The synopsis sounded intriguing and after a few people I knew read and loved it, I had to give it a read for our latest book club pick. I had been wanting to read this book for a while because I kept seeing it pop up on social media. We have possibly reached my favorite book of 2022 so far – The Hating Game by Sally Thorne. ![]() ![]() ![]() But when a car accident reveals her husband’s secret life as a serial killer, she must remake herself as Gwen Proctor-the ultimate warrior mom.

(da, este ceea ce credeti.)ĭesi la inceput parea ca autorul reuseste un teribil mindgame cu cititorul, acesta fiind aiurit si aburit in toate partile, la un moment dat cel din urma va avea probabil un deja-vu si se va prinde de trucul pe care se sprijina toata intriga. Acesta se comporta straniu si in ciuda evidentei politistii au o mare problema: cum poate un om sa fie in doua locuri deodata. Politistii il interogheaza pe sotul primei femei si cu timpul isi dau seama ca toate dovezile il incrimineaza. Criminalul le dezbraca, le leaga, le pune o masca de gaze pe fata apoi le stranguleaza. ![]() In ceea ce priveste actiunea, politistul Roy Grace si echipa sa de la sectia de omoruri din Sussex cerceteaza o serie de crime ce au ca victime femei. ![]() Prezentul roman este cel de-al treilea in seria 'Roy Grace' si evident ca eu nu le-am citit pe primele doua inca, dar consider ca acesta poate fi parcurs si fara a cunoaste evenimentele din primele doua volume.Ĭartea are de toate, crima, actiune, umor, suspans, violenta, un erou politist carismatic si un criminal in serie interesant pana la un anumit punct. Peter James s-a remarcat in lumea cinematografica fiind producatorul executiv al filmului "Negutatorul din Venetia", iar ca romancier a devenit celebru pentru seria 'Roy Grace' care a fost tradusa in peste 36 de limbi si a primit nenumarate premii. ![]() ![]() ![]() reinforce our connection to the natural world - and one anotherīlue Mind isn't just about oceans, lakes, and rivers. improve our overall health and well-being amplify creativity - artistic and otherwise increase calm and diminish anxiety much better than medication improve performance in a wide range of fields Drawing on this breakthrough science, and on compelling personal stories from top athletes, leading scientists, military veterans, and gifted artists, Nichols shows precisely how proximity to water can: That research, involving tools like EEGs, MRIs, and fMRIs, is uncovering remarkable truths about water's incredibly powerful, and startlingly profound, effects on our bodies and souls. ![]() ![]() Nichols reveals in Blue Mind, we are now at the forefront of a wave of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and medical research that illuminates the phsysiological and brain processes that underlie our transformative connection to water. But why? And what might the answer tell us about how we should be living our lives?Īfter centuries of asking these questions, we can finally answer them - and those answers are life changing. We know instinctively that being near water makes us healthier and happier, reduces stress, and brings us peace. From far, far outside, our planet looks like a blue marble from deep inside, we ourselves are three-quarters H2O. No wonder: it's the most omnipresent subnstance on Earth and, along with air, the primary ingredient for supporting life as we know it. There's something about water that attracts and fascinates us. ![]() ![]() In this historical fiction masterpiece, Adichie sheds some much-needed light on a major event in modern African history without turning the story into a dry history lesson.
