Bright-sided

release date: Oct 13, 2009
Bright-sided
Exposes the downside of America''s penchant for positive thinking, which the author believes leads to self-blame and a preoccupation with stamping out "negative" thoughts on a personal level, and, on a national level, has brought on economic disaster.

This Land Is Their Land

release date: Jun 24, 2008
This Land Is Their Land
America in the ''aughts—hilariously skewered, brilliantly dissected, and darkly diagnosed by the bestselling social critic hailed as "the soul mate"* of Jonathan Swift Barbara Ehrenreich''s first book of satirical commentary, The Worst Years of Our Lives, about the Reagan era, was received with bestselling acclaim. The one problem was the title: couldn''t some prophetic fact-checker have seen that the worst years of our lives—far worse—were still to come? Here they are, the 2000s, and in This Land Is Their Land, Ehrenreich subjects them to the most biting and incisive satire of her career. Taking the measure of what we are left with after the cruelest decade in memory, Ehrenreich finds lurid extremes all around. While members of the moneyed elite can buy congressmen, many in the working class can barely buy lunch. While a wealthy minority obsessively consumes cosmetic surgery, the poor often go without health care for their children. And while the corporate C-suites are now nests of criminality, the less fortunate are fed a diet of morality, marriage, and abstinence. Ehrenreich''s antidotes are as sardonic as they are spot-on: pet insurance for your kids; Salvation Army fashions for those who can no longer afford Wal-Mart; and boundless rage against those who have given us a nation scarred by deepening inequality, corroded by distrust, and shamed by its official cruelty. Full of wit and generosity, these reports from a divided nation show once again that Ehrenreich is, as Molly Ivins said, "good for the soul." —*The Times (London)

Sorcières, sages-femmes et infirmières

release date: Jan 01, 2000
Sorcières, sages-femmes et infirmières
Ce texte pose un grand nombre de questions sur l''histoire des femmes. Pourquoi a-t-on brûlé des milliers de femmes en les accusant de sorcellerie? Pourquoi les femmes sont-elles devenues les ouvrières d''une industrie, celle de la santé, dans laquelle les hommes sont des patrons? Deux questions qui semblent éloignées l''une de l''autre et qui pourtant ont des explications assez semblables. " Comme tout événement historique nous a été rapporté par une élite culturelle, on ne connaît les sorcières qu''à travers les yeux de leurs bourreaux. " Il faut donc réapprendre notre histoire.

Le sacre de la guerre

release date: Jan 01, 1999
Le sacre de la guerre
Pourquoi les hommes se font-ils la guerre ? Pourquoi cette envie de tuer qui s''empare brutalement des peuples les plus barbares comme des plus civilisés ? Et d''où vient cette pulsion archaïque, primaire, antérieure aux rationalisations idéologiques ? Pour répondre à cette question, Barbara Ehrenreich entreprend un grand voyage dans l''univers de la violence guerrière, depuis les plus sombres époques de la préhistoire, où l''homme n''était pas un prédateur, mais lui-même une proie. Une proie qui a vite appris à renverser les rôles, mais qui a gardé de cet effroi originel la mémoire du sacrifice, le goût du sang, de la violence gratuite, puis de la guerre sauvage et enfin des opérations rationnellement organisées... Des Grecs aux Aztèques, de la Bible à la Polynésie, du japon impérial aux Indiens d''Amérique, à travers de nombreux exemples saisissants, Barbara Ehrenreich nous fait comprendre les raisons de cette passion, et les formes qu''elle a prises - tout en nous donnant des clefs pour lutter contre cette folle destructrice.
