Rutgers University Press Making the Right Choice: Narratives of Marriage
Book SynopsisMaking the Right Choice unravels the entangled relationship between marriage, morality, and the desire for modernity as it plays out in the context of middle-class status concerns and aspirations for upward social mobility within the Sinhala-Buddhist community in urban Sri Lanka. By focusing on individual life-histories spanning three generations, the book illuminates how narratives about a gendered self and narratives about modernity are mutually constituted and intrinsically tied to notions of agency. The book uncovers how "becoming modern" in urban Sri Lanka, rather than causing inter-generational conflict, is a collective aspiration realized through the efforts of bringing up educated and independent women capable of making "right" choices. The consequence of this collective investment is a feminist conundrum: agency does not denote the right to choose, but the duty to make the "right" choice; hence agency is experienced not as a sense of "freedom," but rather as a burden of responsibility.Trade Review"In Making the Right Choice, Abeyasekera navigates the micro-politics of class and gender in contemporary Sri Lanka with skill and grace, providing the reader with a compelling picture of the fraught territory of marriage in twenty-first century Sri Lanka. Throughout, the argument is highly original and incisive, yet written with a novelist’s eye for the telling detail."— Jonathan Spencer, co-editor of The Intimate Life of Dissent: Anthropological Perspectives "With delicate prose and thoughtfulness, Abeyasekera draws us into the heart of middle-class Colombo, where personal choices on who to love reflect back on family narratives of progress and social mobility. Offering fresh perspectives on agency and responsibility, she moves between life stories across generations to unravel how, in South Asia, marriage is inexorably tied to crafting a self that is both modern and moral."— Ammara Maqsood, author of The New Pakistani Middle Class "Asha Abeyasekera gives us exquisitely wrought portraits of three generations of women in modernizing Sri Lanka as they navigate decisions of who, when, how, and why to marry. Attending to their stories about their marriages, Abeyasekera reveals the repertoires of meaning that enable the women to produce selves that honor traditional kin obligations while embodying modern values of personal choice and self-determination."— Jeanne Marecek, co-author of Gender and Culture in Psychology: Theories and PracticesTable of ContentsContents Series Foreword by Péter Berta Introduction 1 – Sinhala Marriage Practices: Then and Now 2 – Making the ‘Right’ Choice 3 – Structuring the ‘Right’ Choice 4 – The Virtuous Self: Failed Marriages 5 – The Valued Self: Singleness 6 – The Vindicated Self: Divorce Conclusion Notes Bibliography Index

Rutgers University Press Embracing Age: How Catholic Nuns Became Models of
Book SynopsisEmbracing Age: How Catholic Nuns Became Models of Aging Well examines a community of individuals whose aging trajectories contrast mainstream American experiences. In mainstream American society, aging is presented as a “problem,” a state to be avoided as long as possible, a state that threatens one’s ability to maintain independence, autonomy, control over one’s surroundings. Aging “well” (or avoiding aging) has become a twenty-first century American preoccupation. Embracing Age provides a window into the everyday lives of American Catholic nuns who experience longevity and remarkable health and well-being at the end of life. Catholic nuns aren’t only healthier in older age, they are healthier because they practice a culture of acceptance and grace around aging. Embracing Age demonstrates how aging in the convent becomes understood by the nuns to be a natural part of the life course, not one to be feared or avoided. Anna I. Corwin shows readers how Catholic nuns create a cultural community that provides a model for how to grow old, decline, and die that is both embedded in American culture and quite distinct from other American models.Instructor's Guide is available at no cost (https://d3tto5i5w9ogdd.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/26120146/corwin_instructor_guide_final.pdf).Open access edition funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Trade Review"The question of why and how religious commitment seems to improve the body’s health is one of the deepest puzzles in social science. Embracing Age suggests that one answer lies in the way people of faith use language to describe their lives and worlds. This beautifully written book will change the way you think about aging." -- Tanya Marie Luhrmann * author of How God Becomes Real: Kindling the Presence of Invisible Others *"The modern world urges us to outrun age, numb pain, and ignore death, but perhaps the secret to longevity and contentedness lies within the walls of a convent, where nuns practice a timeless model of gracious living. Anna Corwin, with a novitiate’s curiosity and an anthropologist’s precision, investigates the source of nuns’ grace and sparkle—and presents it as something we can tap into, too." -- Dan Zak * author of Almighty: Courage, Resistance, and Existential Peril in the Nuclear Age *"Corwin’s lush ethnography of convent life unlocks how elderly nuns experience aging in ways that render them healthier and happier than those of us who have taken a secular path. Embracing Age brings readers into nuns’ daily spiritual (intercessory prayers) and peer support (pastoral visits to the infirm). Observations, in-depth interviews, and clinical health measures are brought together to illuminate nuns’ sense of the life-death transition." -- Elinor Ochs * co-editor of Fast-Forward Family: Home, Work, and Relationships in Middle-Class America *"In Embracing Age, Anna Corwin tells us of aging and death through the eyes and experiences of American Catholic nuns. It is revealing, enlightening, a balm for those contemplating what is too often thought of as the pain and indignity of old age. The remarkable part, though, is how much it tells of life itself, and the things that really matter." -- John Archibald * author of Shaking the Gates of Hell: A Search for Family and Truth in the Wake of the Civil Rights Revolution *"Embracing Age is a sensitive and illuminating study of the pro-aging alternative offered by Catholic nuns. Through their emphasis on the interdependence of life and the value they place on 'being' rather than 'doing,' the nuns demonstrate a culture of acceptance and grace that can inspire us all." -- Sarah L. Kaufman * author of The Art of Grace and Pulitzer Prize-winning critic for the Washington Post *"Embracing Age reveals the ways in which the culture of American convents embraces aging as a positive process, providing sustenance for mind, body, and spirit. Vividly written, this book brings the reader deep into nuns' everyday experiences of life. Astute and accessible, it will be valuable reading for anyone interested in alternative age-positive ways of living and being." -- Jeanne Shea * co-editor of Beyond Filial Piety: Rethinking Aging and Caregiving in Contemporary East Asian Societies *"Anna Corwin on her book, Embracing Aging" * Camp Anthropology *"[Corwin's] deeply researched book is a model of scholarship while also engaging nonacademic readers as well with its insightful and eloquent portrayal of convent life." * Union of Catholic Asian News *"Catholic nuns are role models for long and productive lives," by Marlene A.

How can we all 'do' this human process of aging best?...Perhaps the most potent take-away or 'secret' of aging is, as the book title asserts, not to avoid but to embrace aging." * Review for Religious *"This synthetic work culminates Corwin’s previous publications into a central claim that anthropological methods and theory illuminate the way nuns socially and linguistically embrace age to experience well-being despite age-related decline. The compelling applicability of Corwin’s conclusions make Embracing Age a critical read for social scientists, clinicians, and thoughtful humans alike.

Taylor & Francis Ltd God and Difference
Book SynopsisGod and Difference interlaces Christian theology with queer and feminist theory for both critical and constructive ends. Linn Marie Tonstad uses queer theory to show certain failures of Christian thinking about God, gender, and sexuality. She employs queer theory to dissect trinitarian discourse and the resonances found in contemporary Christian thought between sexual difference and difference within the trinity. Tonstad critiques a broad swath of prominent Christian theologians who either use queer theory in their work or affirm the validity of same-sex relationships, arguing that their work inadvertently promotes gendered hierarchy. This volume contributes to central debates in Christianity over divine and human personhood, gendered relationality, and the trinity, and provides original accounts of God, sexual difference, and Christian community that are both theologically rich and thoroughly queer.Trade Review"Together, these essays demonstrate how rich God and Difference is, the contributions it offers to trinitarian theology and to (queer) ecclesiologies found amidst its deep rigor, its broad interdisciplinary engagement, and its both pressing and playful provocations. These engagements, as well as Tonstad's responses to them, mine some of those riches and evaluate what they might offer." - Brandy Daniels, Syndicate Symposium 2017Table of ContentsPrelude.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Old School Love And Why It Works
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Old School Love is the kind of love that makes you wanna wear matching shell-toe sneakers and dance in the living room. Rev Run and Justine personify black love and family. Their commitment to God is the foundation of their union. God is love. Old School Love is ‘like that, and that’s the way it is.’” — Nia Long “Bless up; Rev Run and his Queen Justine are a true example of love. The way that Rev upholds his queen and the way Justine supports her king serve as an inspiration for what unconditional love should look like. Rev and Justine share the same values as my queen and I, that God is the foundation of our love.” — DJ Khaled, Asahd's father “With all of the external pressures coming at us, we gotta love, forgive, and love some more. Don’t confuse stupidity with love. Intelligent love is the only way our people can survive. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Simmons.” — LL Cool J “Justine and Rev Run Simmons represent a level of integrity, heart, and spirituality like nothing that’s ever been seen in our generation. Their marriage has created a vibration in my life that was never there before I met them. My wife and I are honored to know Rev and Justine, and to have seen firsthand the magic and integrity that their marriage represents.” — Tyrese “The traditional values the authors espouse will appeal to young couples working to remain true to their wedding vows.” — Publishers Weekly "I’ve read many celebrity-authored books, and rarely do I feel compelled to recommend a book, but this one I’m going to recommend." — Ebony

Do you assume that you''ll have to wait until after you have gotten through your current struggle before you can figure out how to flourish? This might seem counterintuitive, but flourishing actually begins during the struggle. It''s in the fight through the pain that we can begin to thrive. In The Fight to Flourish, Jennie Lusko points out that just like some plants need darkness to grow, it''s the dark and difficult times that God uses to grow our faith.
