Summary

Sojourner Truth asked the question, "Ain't I a woman?" to white women rallying for equal rights. As a black woman in Asia, I find myself asking this same question when I am not given the same respect as other women. Failure to recognize black women as women is dehumanizing, and dehumanization damages everyone involved.

By Ox Team to California - A Narrative of Crossing the Plains in 1860 Lavinia Honeyman Porter Imagine a young, twenty-something woman in 1860, reared “in the indolent life of the ordinary Southern girl” (which means she has never learned to cook); married to a professional man who knows “nothing of manual labor;” who is mother to a young son; and who has just found out she is pregnant with their second child. Imagine that this couple has become “embarrassed financially” by “imprudent speculations,” and that they are discussing what to do. They decide to buy a wagon and three yoke of unbroken oxen and head overland to California."We were two such precious dunces,” writes Lavinia Honeyman Porter in her autobiographical account of their journey across the plains. “In a short time the six oxen were bought, driven to our home and turned loose in our barnyard--wild brutes, as handy as with their heels as with their horns. Not one of us was brave enough to venture into the corral with them and we soon concluded we had six white elephants on our hands.” From there on in, Lavini The Morning Drive with The Flying Dutchman & Lavinia ONE FM 91.3 The Morning Drive – You're on your way to a better day!

Dacă și cum se va transforma lumea și, odată cu ea, și noi, în următorii ani? Ce urmări ar putea avea prezentul pe care îl trăim asupra viitorului?Am invitat zece scriitori să-și imagineze ce se va întâmpla în România peste zece ani și cum va arăta atunci lumea în care trăim. Din perspecitve diferite, fiecare și-a imaginat o lume mai mult sau mai puțin utopică, mai mult sau mai puțin distopică, unde lucrurile s-au schimbat perceptibil sau imperceptibil.
