For the people who lived on the doorstep of Monkton Coke Works, their daily reality was a horrendous nightmare of hazardous and acrid sulfur dioxide emissions, all-pervading soot, and clamorous tannoys. Over decades, the facility grew unflaggingly, converting ever-increasing quantities of coal into coke without concern for the residents’ well-being. In forming the Hebburn Residents’ Action Group, Jennie Shearan united and empowered the underrepresented residents of Monkton Lane Estate, and gave them a voice, igniting a national dialogue about the health risks from the pollution that her neighborhood had to endure. \u003cem\u003eCLEAN AIR\u003c\/em\u003e is an exhilarating memento of the lengths that Jennie Shearan went to in order to secure environmental equity for her community.

She challenges common perceptions of Yezidi female victimhood by focusing on stories of resistance passed down by generations.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eISIS’s genocidal attack on the Yezidi population in northern Iraq in 2014 brought the world’s attention to the small faith that numbers less than one million worldwide. That summer ISIS massacred Yezidi men and enslaved women and children. More than one hundred thousand Yezidis were besieged on Sinjar Mountain. The US began airstrikes to roll back ISIS, citing a duty to save the Yezidis, but the genocide is still ongoing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe headlines have moved on but thousands of Yezidi women and children remain in captivity, and many more are still displaced. Sinjar is now free from ISIS but the Yezidi homeland is at the centre of growing tensions amongst the city’s liberators, making returning home for the Yezidis almost impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe mass abduction of Yezidi women and children is here conveyed with extraordinary intensity in the first-hand reporting of a young journalist who has been based in Iraqi Kurdistan for the past four years, covering the war with ISIS and its impact on the people of the country.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYezidi women describe how, in the recent conflict, they followed the tradition of their ancestors who, a century ago during persecutions at the fall of the Ottoman empire, put ash on their faces to make themselves unattractive and try to avoid being raped.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eToday, over 3,000 Yezidi women and girls remain in the Caliphate where they are bought and sold, and passed between fighters as chattel. But many other have escaped or been released. Otten bases her book on interviews with these survivors, as well as those who smuggled them to safety, painstakingly piecing together their accounts of enslavement. Their deeply moving personal narratives bring alive a human tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopyright\u003c\/strong\u003e: © 2017 Cathy Otten\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudiobook Release Date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\/3\/2024\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRunning Time\u003c\/strong\u003e: 05:06:50\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781965655184\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LINDIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47324170780823,"sku":"9781965655184","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/9540\/8023\/files\/9781965655184__35347.jpg?v=1773525283"}],"url":"https:\/\/lindie.net\/collections\/womens-studies.oembed","provider":"Lantern Indie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
