Contradictions (both real and apparent), oppositions, enigmas, provocations, challenges – this is the kind of material that makes a life, and is the kind of material that, in fiction, one is never quite sure of. With Pretty Ugly, Kirsty Gunn reminds us again that she is a master of just such material, presenting ambiguity and complication as the essence of the storyteller’s endeavour.

Author: Vanessa Rochelle Lewis
Narrator: Sanya Simmons

Flip the script on how you think about UGLY-what it means, what it is, and how to reclaim it to Uplift, Glorify, and Love Yourself in an uglified world. Blending joyful self-help magic with incisive social analysis and personal narrative, Vanessa Rochelle Lewis empowers listeners to heal, connect, and revolt against uglification. Uglification is "ugly" weaponized: a tool, ideology, and type of oppression that designates some bodies as more or less worthy of love, respect, access, and dignity. It defines who’s accepted in what spaces, which identities are marginalized, and how we all move through the world-and is part and parcel of systems like white supremacy, ableism, sizeism, sexism, and queer- and transphobia.

Ugly Stories of the Peruvian Agrarian Reform


Free Download Ugly Stories of the Peruvian Agrarian Reform By Enrique Mayer
2010 | 328 Pages | ISBN: 082234453X | PDF | 5 MB
"Ugly Stories of the Peruvian Agrarian Reform" reveals the human drama behind the radical agrarian reform process that unfolded in Peru during the final three decades of the twentieth century. That process began in 1969, when the left-leaning military government implemented a drastic programme of land expropriation. Seized land was turned into worker-managed cooperatives. After those cooperatives began to falter and the country returned to civilian rule in the 1980s, members organized to dismantle them and distribute the land among themselves. In 1995-96, as the agrarian reform process was winding down and neoliberal policies were undoing leftist reforms, the Peruvian anthropologist Enrique Mayer travelled throughout the country, interviewing people who had lived through the most tumultuous years of agrarian reform, recording their memories and their stories. While agrarian reform caused enormous upheaval, controversy, and disappointment, it did succeed in breaking up the unjust and oppressive hacienda system. Mayer contends that the demise of that system is comparable in importance to the liberation of slaves in the Americas. Mayer interviewed ex-landlords, land expropriators, politicians, government bureaucrats, intellectuals, peasant leaders, activists, ranchers, members of farming families, and others. Weaving their impassioned recollections in with his own commentary, he offers a series of dramatic narratives, each one centred around a specific instance of land expropriation, collective enterprise, and disillusion. Although the reform began with high hopes, it was quickly complicated by difficulties including corruption, rural and urban unrest, fights over land tenure and expropriation, delays in modernization, and explosive population growth. As he provides insight into how important historical events are remembered, Mayer re-evaluates Peru’s military government (1969-79), its audacious agrarian reform program, and what that reform meant to Peruvians from all walks of life.

If ten girls were asked to describe the "perfect" girl, they would likely rattle off an eerily similar list of qualities―from hair, skin, and weight to a cute button nose. That’s a problem, because God has given girls a desire to be desirable. If girls think that they will be most wanted if they fit a one-size-fits-all image of "perfection," they will continually chase that proverbial carrot their entire lives.
