Fed Up: Navigating and redefining emotional labour for good
by Gemma HartleyGemma Hartley wrote an article in Harper's Bazaar in September 2017 called 'Women Aren't Nags - We're Just Fed Up', which instantly went viral.The piece, and this book, are about 'emotional labour', i.e. the unpaid, often unnoticed effort and work that goes into keeping everyone around you comfortable and happy.The Problem That Had No Name tackles the big issues surrounding emotional labour: the historical underpinnings and roots in feminism, the benefits and burdens of this kind of effort, and the specific contexts where emotional labour plays a major but undervalued role, including relationships, work, sex, parenting, politics and self-care.
Fed Up: Navigating and redefining emotional labour for good
by Gemma HartleyA ground-breaking exploration of feminism's most buzzy topic.No more grin and bear it: how and why we all need to reset the domestic balance. Gemma Hartley is a mother and journalist on a mission: to throw fresh light on the hidden burden of 'emotional labour' (washing, wiping, worrying, soothing, shopping, preparing, planning, cooking, caring), and find out why it is that the bulk of these thankless, hugely time-consuming and frustrating jobs fall to women.Gemma's article: 'Women Aren't Nags; We're Just Fed Up,' was shared by millions of readers, giving voice to a huge number of women whose frustration and anger is mixed with incredulity. Is this really where we're at 50 years post-feminism? Gemma's quest to get to the bottom of the problem and find out how to solve it will take you deep into your own subconscious bias, and sees her challenging the foundations of her own marriage to try to forge a better, more balanced way to live. Fed Up puts forward a thought-provoking, honest and impassioned case that any woman in a relationship should take an unflinching look at her own home life and ask: "How could we do this better?" The answer might just save your sanity, and your relationship.(P)2018 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward
by Gemma HartleyFrom Gemma Hartley, the journalist who ignited a national conversation on emotional labor, comes Fed Up, a bold dive into the unpaid, invisible work women have shouldered for too long—and an impassioned vision for creating a better future for us all.Day in, day out, women anticipate and manage the needs of others. In relationships, we initiate the hard conversations. At home, we shoulder the mental load required to keep our households running. At work, we moderate our tone, explaining patiently and speaking softly. In the world, we step gingerly to keep ourselves safe. We do this largely invisible, draining work whether we want to or not—and we never clock out. No wonder women everywhere are overtaxed, exhausted, and simply fed up. In her ultra-viral article “Women Aren’t Nags—We’re Just Fed Up,” shared by millions of readers, Gemma Hartley gave much-needed voice to the frustration and anger experienced by countless women. Now, in Fed Up, Hartley expands outward from the everyday frustrations of performing thankless emotional labor to illuminate how the expectation to do this work in all arenas—private and public—fuels gender inequality, limits our opportunities, steals our time, and adversely affects the quality of our lives.More than just name the problem, though, Hartley teases apart the cultural messaging that has led us here and asks how we can shift the load. Rejecting easy solutions that don’t ultimately move the needle, Hartley offers a nuanced, insightful guide to striking real balance, for true partnership in every aspect of our lives. Reframing emotional labor not as a problem to be overcome, but as a genderless virtue men and women can all learn to channel in our quest to make a better, more egalitarian world, Fed Up is surprising, intelligent, and empathetic essential reading for every woman who has had enough with feeling fed up.
Fed Up: The High Costs of Cheap Food
by Dale Finley SlongwhiteOne farmworker tells of the soil that would “bite” him, but that was the chemicals burning his skin. Others developed lupus, asthma, diabetes, kidney failure, or suffered myriad symptoms with no clear diagnosis. Some miscarried or had children with genetic defects, while others developed cancer.In Fed Up, Dale Slongwhite collects the nearly inconceivable and chilling oral histories of African American farmworkers whose lives, and the lives of their families, were forever altered by one of the most horrific pesticide exposure incidents in United States’ history.For decades, the farms around Lake Apopka, Florida’s third largest lake, were sprayed with chemicals ranging from the now-banned DDT to toxaphene. Among the most productive farmland in America, the fields were doused with organochlorine pesticides, also known as persistent organic pollutants; the once-clear waters of the lake turned pea green; birds, alligators, and fish died at alarming rates; and still the farmworkers planted, harvested, packed, and shipped produce all over the country, enduring scorching sun, snakes, rats, injuries, substandard housing, low wages, and the endocrine disruptors that crop dusters dropped as they toiled.Eventually, state and federal dollars were allocated to buy out and close farms to attempt land restoration, water clean up, and wildlife rehabilitation. But the farmworkers became statistics, nameless casualties history almost forgot. Here are their stories, told in their own words.

La federal: La trampa policial detrás del delito, la inseguridad y el miedo
by Alejandro GuerreroLa Policía Federal Argentina en los últimos 10 años y sus vínculos conel delito. "La secta del gatillo fácil es también la logia de la mano en la lata."Rodolfo Walsh¿Qué distingue a la Policía Federal Argentina (en verdad, a todas laspolicías del país) de muchas otras de distintos países? Simplemente, quela PFA empieza a perder su calidad de custodia de la gobernabilidad, lafunción básica de cualquier fuerza policial.Esta es una policía cada vez más débil (no menos peligrosa, más bien locontrario) y no por presupuesto escaso, o falta de equipos o depersonal. Tampoco por la ausencia de leyes de "mano dura" o defacilidades para burlar esas mismas leyes, como lo dejan ver loscentenares de casos de gatillo fácil.Esta policía parece haberse debilitado a sí misma. Se ha corroídointernamente enredada en el entretejido de sus nexos con el delito, conun mundo penumbroso del cual, en buena medida, ha llegado a formarparte.Esta policía parece haberse salido de cauce, haber escapado, en cuantocorporación, al control político de los gobernantes. He ahí,básicamente, la sustancia de la "sensación de inseguridad".Este libro, además de situar el problema en su contexto histórico ysocial, recorre diez años de casos emblemáticos #y de otros no tanconocidos# que develan una trama institucional de vinculaciones entre laPolicía Federal y el crimen organizado.
Federal Fathers Mothers
by Cathleen D. CahillEstablished in 1824, the United States Indian Service, now known as the Bureau of Indian Affairs, was the agency responsible for carrying out U. S. treaty and trust obligations to American Indians, but it also sought to "civilize" and assimilate them. InFederal Fathers and Mothers, Cathleen Cahill offers the first in-depth social history of the agency during the height of its assimilation efforts in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Making extensive and original use of federal personnel files and other archival materials, Cahill examines how assimilation practices were developed and enacted by an unusually diverse group of women and men, whites and Indians, married couples and single people. Cahill argues that the Indian Service pursued a strategy of intimate colonialism, using employees as surrogate parents and model families in order to shift Native Americans' allegiances from tribal kinship networks to Euro-American familial structures and, ultimately, the U. S. government. In seeking to remove Indians from federal wardship, the government experimented with new forms of maternalist social provision, which later influenced U. S. colonialism overseas. Cahill also reveals how the government's hiring practices unexpectedly allowed federal personnel on the ground to crucially influence policies devised in Washington, especially when Native employees used their positions to defend their families and communities.
Federal Government and Criminal Justice

MarionProviding a description of the responses taken by the federal government to issues revolving around criminal justice, each chapter focuses on a different problem and shows what different presidents have said, what policies were proposed and/or passed by Congress, and any cases heard by the Supreme Court on the issue.
Federal Narcotics Laws and the War on Drugs: Money Down a Rat Hole
by Thomas C RoweWe&’re losing the "war on drugs"-but the fight isn&’t over yetFederal Narcotics Laws and the War on Drugs examines our current anti-drug programs and policies, explains why they have failed, and presents a plan to fix them. Author Thomas C. Rowe, who has been educating college students on recreational drug use for nearly 30 years, exposes the truth about anti-drug programs he believes were conceived in ignorance of the drugs themselves and motivated by racial/cultural bias. This powerful book advocates a shift in federal spending to move funds away from the failed elements of the "war on drugs" toward policies with a more realistic chance to succeed-the drug courts, education, and effective treatment. Common myths and misconceptions about drugs have produced anti-drug programs that don&’t work, won&’t work, and waste millions of dollars. Federal Narcotics Laws and the War on Drugs looks at how-and why-this has happened and what can be done to correct it. The book is divided into "How did we get into this mess?" which details the history of anti-narcotic legislation, how drug agencies evolved, and the role played by Harry Anslinger, Commissioner of the United States Bureau of Narcotics from 1930 to 1962; "What works and what doesn&’t work," which looks at the failure of interdiction efforts and the negative consequences that have resulted with a particular focus on the problems of prisons balanced against the drug court system; and a third section that serves as an overview of various recreational drugs, considers arguments for and against drug legalization, and offers suggestions for more effective methods than our current system allows.Federal Narcotics Laws and the War on Drugs also examines: the creation of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics current regulations and structures current federal sentencing guidelines current state of the courts and the prison system mandatory sentencing and what judges think interdiction for heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine, and marijuana early education efforts the DARE program drug use trends drug treatment models the debate over legalizationFederal Narcotics Laws and the War on Drugs also includes several appendices of federal budget figures, cocaine and heroin purity and price, and federal bureau of prisons statistics. This unique book is required reading for anyone concerned about the drug problem in the United States and what is-and isn&’t-being done to correct it.
Federal Regulations: Ethical Issues And Social Research
by Murray L. Wax Joan CassellAs the federal government elaborates its networks of control over social research, some investigators feel that federal regulations mean only increased costs and constricted research opportunities; others see the possibility of better research through the informed interaction between investigator and subjects that can be brought about by these same regulations. This book—in which responsible social research is defended as essential for intelligent social policy--pre-sents the effects of federal regulations on various research methodologies, with particular attention to their differential impact on qualitative and quantitative studies. It also presents material on the formation and nature of the federal regulatory system, the effects of research on the different kinds of populations studies, and the conflicts among professional associations with regard to regulation.
Federal Reports on Police Killings: Ferguson, Cleveland, Baltimore, and Chicago
by U.S. Department of JusticeFederal Reports on Police Killings: Ferguson, Cleveland, and Baltimore, the complete reports from the Department of Justice's landmark investigations of police violence in three major American cities.This collection opens with the brief Department of Justice statement about the decision to close the investigation into the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012 --- an event that animated the Black Lives Matter movement and can be interpreted as a catalyst for the DOJ's inquiries into law enforcement. The reports that followed speak for themselves.
Federal Solutions to Ethnic Problems: Accommodating Diversity (Exeter Studies in Ethno Politics)
by Liam D. AndersonExploring five distinct models of federal arrangement, this book evaluates the relative merits of each model as a mechanism for managing relations in ethnically divided societies. Two broad approaches to this issue, accommodation and denial, are identified and, from this, five distinct models of federal arrangement are derived. The models; ethnic, anti-ethnic, territorial, ethno-territorial, and federacy, are defined and then located within their broader theoretical tradition. Detailed case studies are used to evaluate the strengths and weakness of each model and highlight patterns in the success and failure rates of the universe of post-1945 federal arrangements. From this it is clear that two forms of ethnically defined federal arrangement – federacy and ethno-territorial federalism, are associated with low failure rates, while ethnic federalism has enjoyed a far higher rate of failure. The reasons for this are examined and the implications of this for the design of federal systems in ethnically divided societies are assessed. Federal Solutions to Ethnic Problems: Accommodating Diversity advances a new argument within the field of comparative politics, that certain forms of federal arrangement are systematically more successful than others in ameliorating ethnically conflicted societies and is essential reading for students and scholars with an interest in politics and the Middle East.
Federalism and Decentralization in Health Care: A Decision Space Approach
by Gregory Marchildon Thomas J. BossertWhile health system decentralization is often associated with federations, there has been limited study on the connection between federalism and the organization of publicly financed or mandated health services. Federalism and Decentralization in Health Care examines eight federations that differ in terms of their geography, history and constitutional and political development. Looking at Canada, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Africa and Switzerland, Federalism and Decentralization in Health Care examines constitutional responsibility for health care, the national laws establishing a right to health care, the predominant sources and organization of public revenues directed to health care, and the overall organization of the health system. In additional to these structural features, each country case study is subjected to a "decision space analysis" to determine the actual degree of health system decentralization. This involves determining whether national and subnational governments have narrow, moderate or broad discretion in their decisions on governance, access, human resources, health system organization and financing. This comparative approach highlights the similarities and differences among these federations. Offering reflections on recent trends in centralization or decentralizations for the health system as a whole, Federalism and Decentralization in Health Care, is a valuable resource for those studying health care policy in federal systems and especially those interested in comparative aspects of the topic.
Federalism and Ethnic Conflict in Ethiopia: A Comparative Regional Study (Routledge Studies in Federalism and Decentralization)
by Asnake KefaleThis book examines the impact of the federal restructuring of Ethiopia on ethnic conflicts. The adoption of ethnic federalism in Ethiopia was closely related with the problem of creating a state structure that could be used as instrument of managing the complex ethno-linguistic diversity of the country. Ethiopia is a multinational country with about 85 ethno-linguistic groups and since the 1960s, it suffered from ethno-regional conflicts. The book considers multiple governance and state factors that could explain the difficulties Ethiopian federalism faces to realise its objectives. These include lack of political pluralism and the use of ethnicity as the sole instrument of state organisation. Federalism and Ethnic Conflict in Ethiopia will be of interest to students and scholars of federal studies, ethnic conflict and regionalism.
Federalism and Inter-State River Water Disputes in India
by Amit RanjanThis book examines the Union-State and inter-State relations concerning water issues in India. It analyses the federal structure in India and looks at its effectiveness in addressing the inter-state river water disputes in the country through three cases: the Cauvery, Krishna and Mahadayi Rivers water dispute. It probes into the physical, political, legal and constitutional measures taken by the Union government and the states to deal with the inter-State and Union-State tussles over inter-State river waters. The author studies the debate over centralisation and decentralisation of water resources, as well as the inter-state river water disputes that have aroused feelings of sub-nationalism in many regions of India. Finally, this book also examines socio-political tensions over multipurpose water projects and other supply-side infrastructures, and their efficacy in addressing India’s increasing water problems. This book will interest researchers and students of Environmental Politics, Political Science, Public Policy, Environmental Geography, Indian Politics, South Asian Studies, Environmental Economics, Environmental Policy, River Management, and Resource politics.
Federalism and Local Politics in Russia (BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies)
by Cameron Ross Adrian CampbellThis book examines federalism and regional and local politics in Russia. Many commentators have alluded to the unique nature of Russia's dual transition and its difficult task of simultaneously reforming its economy and polity. But there is in fact a third transition under way in Russia that is of no less importance, the need to reconfigure central-local relations and to create a stable and viable form of federalism. Federal states are much more difficult to set up than unitary ones, and forging a new federal system at the same time as privatising the economy and trying to radically overhaul the political system has clearly made Russia's transition triply difficult. The book discusses how Vladimir Putin has re-asserted the power of the centre in Russia, and tightened the federal government's control of the regions. It shows how, contrary to his rhetoric about developing Russia as a free and democratic state, authoritarianism has been extended - through his reorganisation of the Federation Council, his usurpation of powers to dismiss regional assemblies and chief executives, and his creation of seven unelected super-governors. The book explores a wide range of issues related to these developments, including a comparative study of Russian federalism and local politics, ethnic federalism, the merging of federal units, regional governors, electoral and party reforms, and regional and local politics. It also includes case studies of local and regional politics in specific regions.
Federalism and the Lander Autonomy: The Higher Education Policy Network in the Federal Republic of Germany, 1948-1998 (RoutledgeFalmer Studies in Higher Education)

Federalism and the Response to COVID-19: A Comparative Analysis (Routledge Series on the Humanities and the Social Sciences in a Post-COVID-19 World)
by Rupak ChattopadhyayThe COVID-19 pandemic bared the inadequacies in existing structures of public health and governance in most countries. This book provides a comparative analysis of policy approaches and planning adopted by federal governments across the globe to battle and adequately respond to the health emergency as well as the socio-economic fallouts of the pandemic. With twenty-four case studies from across the globe, the book critically analyzes responses to the public health crisis, its fiscal impact and management, as well as decision-making and collaboration between different levels of government of countries worldwide. It explores measures taken to contain the pandemic and to responsibly regulate and manage the health, socio-economic welfare, employment, and education of its people. The authors highlight the deficiencies in planning, tensions between state and local governments, politicization of the crisis, and the challenges of generating political consensus. They also examine effective approaches used to foster greater cooperation and learning for multi-level, polycentric innovation in pandemic governance. One of the first books on federalism and approaches to the COVID-19 pandemic, this volume is an indispensable reference for scholars and researchers of comparative federalism, comparative politics, development studies, political science, public policy and governance, health and wellbeing, and political sociology.
Federalism, Nationalism and Development: India and the Punjab Economy (Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series)
by Pritam SinghThis book throws new light on the study of India's development through an exploration of the triangular relationship between federalism, nationalism and the development process. It focuses on one of the seemingly paradoxical cases of impressive development and sharp federal conflicts that have been witnessed in the state of Punjab. The book concentrates on the federal structure of the Indian polity and it examines the evolution of the relationship between the centre and the state of Punjab, taking into account the emergence of Punjabi Sikh nationalism and its conflict with Indian nationalism. Providing a template to analyse regional imbalances and tensions in national economies with federal structures and competing nationalisms, this book will not only be of interest to researchers on South Asian Studies, but also to those working in the fields of politics, political economy, geography and development.
Feed-Forward: On the Future of Twenty-First-Century Media
by Mark B. N. HansenEven as media in myriad forms increasingly saturate our lives, we nonetheless tend to describe our relationship to it in terms from the twentieth century: we are consumers of media, choosing to engage with it. In Feed-Forward, Mark B. N. Hansen shows just how outmoded that way of thinking is: media is no longer separate from us but has become an inescapable part of our very experience of the world. Drawing on the speculative empiricism of philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, Hansen reveals how new media call into play elements of sensibility that greatly affect human selfhood without in any way belonging to the human. From social media to data-mining to new sensor technologies, media in the twenty-first century work largely outside the realm of perceptual consciousness, yet at the same time inflect our every sensation. Understanding that paradox, Hansen shows, offers us a chance to put forward a radically new vision of human becoming, one that enables us to reground the human in a non-anthropocentric view of the world and our experience in it.
Feed-in tariffs in the European Union
by Béatrice Cointe Alain NadaïThis book is a sociological account of the historical trajectory of feed-in tariffs (FITs) as an instrument for the promotion of renewable energy in Europe. Chapters analyse the emergence and transformations of feed-in tariffs as part of the policy arsenal developed to encourage the creation of markets for RES-E in Europe. The authors explore evolving conceptions of renewable energy policy at the intersection between environmental objectives, technological change and the ambition to liberalise the internal electricity market. They draw conclusions on the relationships between markets and policy-making as it is instituted in the European Union, and on the interplay between the implementation of a European vision on energy and national politics. Distinctive in both its approach and its methods the books aim is not to discuss the design of feed-in tariffs and their evolution, nor is it to assess their efficiency or fairness. Instead, the authors seek to understand what makes feed-in tariffs what they are, and how this has changed over time.

Feed the Baby Hummus: Pediatrician-Backed Secrets from Cultures Around the World
by Lisa LewisParenting practices vary widely between countries and cultures. For example, in countries such as the Philippines, breastfeeding after age one year is common, and parents can make their own decision about what is right for their family. In Korea, babies eat a variety of spices and flavors, helping them develop a diverse palate and healthy eating habits. And in Italy, parents prevent separation anxiety by taking their babies to markets, restaurants, and churches and passing them around from person to person.Feed the Baby Hummus teaches parents to confidently incorporate various multicultural practices into their own caretaking plan. Pediatrician Lisa Lewis offers the wisdom and proven caretaking practices of the cultures of the world, drawn from her own training, research, travel, and clinical experience. Although certain standards of care must exist for babies to thrive and be happy, Feed the Baby Hummus offers a variety of cross-cultural parenting information and baby care guidance from a trusted source.
Feedback: Wie Rückkopplung unser Leben bestimmt und Natur, Technik, Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft beherrscht
by Jürgen BeetzFeedback wird im breiteren Sinne als Rückkopplung verstanden, nicht nur als verbale Rückmeldung. Rückkopplung ist das Rückführen der Wirkung auf die Ursache – und die verblüffenden Effekte sind in allen Lebensbereichen anzutreffen.Der Wissenschaftsautor Jürgen Beetz spricht Sie als Leser direkt an und entdeckt mit IhnenGeschichten des Alltags mit merkwürdigen Feedback-Effekten,die Selbstbezüglichkeit und die daraus entstehenden Widersprüche,die Eigenschaften komplexer dynamischer vernetzter Systeme,das Wesen der Rückkopplung, das aus diesen Bedingungen hervorgeht,Rückkopplungseffekte in der Technik, der Natur, der Gesellschaft, der Politik, der Wirtschaft ... und im Rest der Welt,das „mächtigste Konzept der Welt“, die Evolution.Sie verstehen, was passiert, wenn die Wirkung zur Ursache wird. Rückkopplung bestimmt unser Leben. Sie scheint oft im Verborgenen zu wirken. Wir bemerken sie erst, wenn sie ihr Werk schon getan hat. Manchmal voller Zufriedenheit, wenn sie stabilisierend war, aber oft mit Schrecken, wenn sie sich in einem „Teufelskreis“ aufgeschaukelt hat. Noch weniger ahnen wir, wie schwer sie oft zu durchschauen oder gar zu beherrschen ist. Aktuelle Krisen mit oft hochkomplexen Rückkopplungen führen uns das täglich vor Augen. Nach der Lektüre dieses Buches sehen Sie genauer hin.Das Werk ist in der zweiten Auflage vollständig durchgesehen und erweitert. Hinzugefügt wurde ein Abschnitt über das dynamische Verhalten von Systemen.Stimmen zur ersten Auflage„Ein wichtiges Buch, das ein zentrales Element kreativer Entwicklungen in Natur und Gesellschaft in all seinen Facetten beleuchtet.“Prof. Dr. Bernd-Olaf Küppers, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena „Dieses Buch beschreibt sehr anschaulich, dass Systeme in Natur, Technik und Gesellschaft ohne Feedbacknicht – oder nur sehr ineffizient – funktionieren könnten. Es zeigt, dass Rückkopplung ein zentrales Prinzip darstellt, das das Verhalten von Systemen zum Besseren (bei falschem Gebrauch aber auch zum Schlechteren) verändern kann. Es ist deshalb eminent wichtig, die Bedeutung und das Potential dieses Prinzips zu erfassen. Dies ermöglicht dieses Buch in leicht lesbarer Weise.“Prof. Dr. Jörg Raisch, Technische Universität Berlin, Fachgebiet Regelungssysteme, Max-Planck-Institut für Dynamik komplexer technischer SystemeDer AutorJürgen Beetz studierte nach einer humanistischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Schulausbildung Elektrotechnik, Mathematik und Informatik an der TH Darmstadt und der University of California, Berkeley.
