I ask because I am not familiar with any of her works. And thanks for your post! : )


Joan C. Williams is Distinguished Professor of Law and Founding Director of the Center of Work Life Law at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. Described as having "something approaching rock star status” by the New York Times, she has played a central role in documenting how work-family conflict affects working-class families and in reshaping the debates over women’s advancement for the past quarter-century.

I never heard of her either. After this book, I am looking forward to reading her other book - Unbending gender : why family and work conflict and what to do about it.

There are 30 pages of footnotes to browse through.

Neutral and non partisan? Hm. That sounds like you are asking me if she is using data to push for one political viewpoint over another.

I didnt see or feel that. I saw a new and refreshing way of looking at data and leaving it up to the reader to form their own conclusions as to what resonates with them and why.

There are three things that stand out to me. The first is the way she shows commonalities across ethnicity as well as specific and unique differences when it comes to looking at something from a class perspective.

Secondly, she illustrates in a simple way as to how the social contract between employers and employees has been radically changed since WW2 , how the demise of labor unions (class specific) has taken a toll on middle America, and globalization has led to a different approach in policy. All add up to significant losses for a significant amount of people.

Third, and most importantly to me, is showing the assumptions and presumptions people make, from the top on down which skews reality, and creates and perpetuates divisions.

If you read it, I'd be interested in your thoughts. This is a theme I am seeing more and more in contemporary writings.

Default The Girl Who Wrote in Silk

The Girl Who Wrote in Silk---Kelli Estes

A simple reading about the lives of two women 130 years apart that are connected with a secret. A light presentation of the horrific historical time of the late 1800's when the Chinese population were pushed out of the Northern West Coast of the US and Canada. The story mostly takes place in the Seattle area and Orcas Island.

Oh, very nice! Thank you Kobi.... I will snag a copy of it soon. That's impressive, 30 pages of foot notes! And I'm sure that her source citations will be very interesting. Every field of academic study adheres to particular tenets of research methods, so no doubt Law will utilize stringent codification process of discovery. Very nice, and many thanks!!

OMG this is my favorite novel of all time. I know it has a horrible message of the adulterous woman but I truly love this book - the passion, romance, intriguing characters, all the beautiful set pieces of 19th century Russia, I just love it. I have read it dozens of times since I was a teenager.

"Political Ponerology" A science on the nature of evil adjusted for political purposesby Andrew M Lobaczewski

"The original manuscript of this book
went into the furnace minutes before
a secret police raid in Communist Poland.
The second copy, painfully reassembled
by scientists working under impossible
conditions of violence and repression, was
sent via courier to the Vatican. Its receipt was
never acknowledged - the manuscript and all
valuable data lost.

In 1984, the third and final copy was written
from memory by the last survivor of the original
researchers: Andrew Lobaczewski.
Zbigniew Brzezinski blocked its publication.

After half a century of suppression, this book is
finally available...."

Real.

It's a great study on what NOT to do in a romantic relationship, *lol*. I broke out in a case of laughter over a character (Stevin) who just can't seem to get it right. Stevin goes out to skate on ice to woo the woman he's attracted to, but the woman sees right through the facade of his moves. She busts Stevin by telling him that she's not attracted to him at all because he 'stirred another woman' wrongly. Priceless!!!

The Slave Ship: A Human History
by Marcus Rediker
In this widely praised history of an infamous institution, award-winning scholar Marcus Rediker shines a light into the darkest corners of the British and American slave ships of the eighteenth century. Drawing on thirty years of research in maritime archives, court records, diaries, and firsthand accounts, The Slave Ship is riveting and sobering in its revelations, reconstructing in chilling detail a world nearly lost to history: the "floating dungeons" at the forefront of the birth of African American culture.

LQQKS like a good read, dark_crystal!

And, I'll keep that in mind about the end of the Tolstoy book, too.
