Documentaire:Famille:HomoparentalitéRésumé : Dan Savage's nationally syndicated sex advice column, "Savage Love," enrages and excites more than four million people each week. In The Kid, Savage tells a no-holds-barred, high-energy story of an ordinary American couple who wants to have a baby. Except that in this case the couple happens to be Dan and his boyfriend. That fact, in the face of a society enormously uneasy with gay adoption, makes for an edgy, entertaining, and illuminating read. When Dan and his boyfriend are finally presented with an infant badly in need of parenting, they find themselves caught up in a drama that extends well beyond the confines of their immediate world. A story about confronting homophobia, falling in love, getting older, and getting a little bit smarter, The Kid is a book about the very human desire to have a family.

Titre : The Price of the Ticket : Collected Nonfiction, 1948-1985 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : James Baldwin, Auteur Editeur : St. Martin's Press Année de publication : 1985 Importance : 712 pages ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-312-64306-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Documentaire:Biographies, Témoignages, Mémoires:Mémoires et autobiographies

Représentation:GayMots-clés : Amérique, 20ème siècle, racisme, homosexuel Index. décimale : 020 Bibliothèques - et lecture, documentation Résumé : The works of James Baldwin constitute one of the major contributions to American literature in the twentieth century, and nowhere is this more evident than in The Price of the Ticket, a compendium of nearly fifty years of Baldwin's powerful nonfiction writing.
With truth and insight, these personal, prophetic works speak to the heart of the experience of race and identity in the United States. Here are the full texts of Notes of a Native Son, Nobody Knows My Name, The Fire Next Time, No Name in the Street, and The Devil Finds Work, along with dozens of other pieces, ranging from a 1948 review of Raintree Country to a magnificent introduction to this book that, as so many of Mr. Baldwin's works do, combines his intensely private experience with the deepest examination of social interaction between the races.
In a way, The Price of the Ticket is an intellectual history of the twentieth-century American experience; in another, it is autobiography of the highest order.

L'œuvre de James Baldwin constitue l'une des contributions majeures à la littérature américaine du XXe siècle, et cela n'est nulle part plus évident que dans The Price of the Ticket, un recueil de près de cinquante ans d'écrits non fictionnels puissants de Baldwin.
Avec vérité et perspicacité, ces œuvres personnelles et prophétiques parlent au cœur de l'expérience de la race et de l'identité aux États-Unis. Voici les textes intégraux de Notes of a Native Son, Nobody Knows My Name, The Fire Next Time, No Name in the Street et The Devil Finds Work, ainsi que des dizaines d'autres textes, allant d'une critique de Raintree Country datant de 1948 à une magnifique introduction à ce livre qui, comme tant d'autres œuvres de M. Baldwin, combine son expérience intensément privée avec l'examen le plus approfondi de l'interaction sociale entre les races.
D'une certaine manière, The Price of the Ticket est une histoire intellectuelle de l'expérience américaine du vingtième siècle ; d'une autre, il s'agit d'une autobiographie de premier ordre.Note de contenu : TW : racisme The Price of the Ticket : Collected Nonfiction, 1948-1985 [texte imprimé] / James Baldwin, Auteur . - St. Martin's Press, 1985 . - 712 pages.

Titre : Times Two : Two Women in Love and the Happy Family They Made Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kristen Henderson, Auteur ; Sarah Ellis, Auteur Editeur : Simon & Schuster Année de publication : 2011 Importance : 229 pages ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4391-7640-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Documentaire

Documentaire:Famille
Documentaire:Famille:HomoparentalitéRésumé : This is a tender and touching story of two talented women falling in love and forming a beautifully unconventional family. Readers will be fascinated by their simultaneous pregnancies and dual journeys into motherhood. Times Two offers wonderful perspectives on the joys and challenges of contemporary lesbian life.
--Nanette Gartrell, MD, author of My Answer is NO…if that's okay with you: How Women Can Say No With Confidence.Principal Investigator, US National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study
“Kristen Henderson and Sarah Kate Ellis have written a book so disarmingly funny, touching and readable, that you almost forget it is about all the important issues of our time—women's rights, civil rights, and family rights. The journey of Kristen and her partner, Sarah, in their quest to have a child, seems like Nora Ephron's idea of a script—hilarious at times, frustrating, maddening and, finally, a Hollywood style happy ending. This book captures the political zeitgeist of all the modern families in the country, and shows that, whatever your beliefs and affiliations, the most important component in the make-up of a family is love.” --Cherie Currie, Lead singer of The Runaways and author of Neon Angel
"What was it Tolstoy said? Happy families are all alike? This book proves the great Russian writer was absolutely wrong. Happy families come in all varieties. This funny and touching book is Exhibit A." -- A.J. Jacobs, bestselling author of My Life as an Experiment and The Year of Living Biblically
“Kristen and Sarah somehow make a "slice of life" story of love, career and family into an entertaining page turner… This book helps to carry a movement, a shift in paradigm, that has been a long time coming. I hope Times Two reaches a wide and varied audience of readers so that this truth becomes our new norm: society needs healthy, loving, functioning families regardless of how they are made or how they look.” --Kathy Valentine, bass player and member of The Go-Go's
"A spirited portrait of an unconventional family." --Kirkus Reviews
"Henderson and Ellis present, without breaking a sweat, a compelling case that the kids are alright, and so are the moms. " --Library JournalTimes Two : Two Women in Love and the Happy Family They Made [texte imprimé] / Kristen Henderson, Auteur ; Sarah Ellis, Auteur . - Simon & Schuster, 2011 . - 229 pages.
