More than any other time in history, the First Lady now bears responsibilities tantamount to any high-ranking cabinet member.This fascinating book documents the growing presence of the presidents' wives in the communications strategies of the last three administrations, explaining why their involvement in a campaign has been critical to its survival. The book explores how the First Lady serves to persuade public opinion, make personal appeals to the public on behalf of the president, and promote initiatives that serve as uncontroversial frames for controversial policies.
The author delves into political discussions about what makes presidents and presidential candidates likable, what draws public support to their agendas, and why spouses appear to be more effective in these arenas than other surrogates or even the presidents themselves. The content features dozens of interviews with former White House staff and communications strategists; in-depth analysis of almost 1,700 public speeches made by Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, and Michelle Obama; and surveys testing the effect of public relations strategies involving spouses on political opinion.
In popular songs, televised media, news outlets, and online venues, a jabaaru immigré ("a migrant's wife") may be depicted as an opportunistic gold-digger, a forsaken lonely heart, or a naïve dupe. Her migrant husband also faces multiple representations as profligate womanizer, conquering hero, heartless enslaver, and exploited workhorse. These depictions point to fluctuating understandings of gender, status, and power in Senegalese society and reflect an acute uneasiness within this coastal West African nation that has seen an exodus in the past thirty-five years, as more men and women migrate out of Senegal in hope of a better financial future. Marriage Without Borders is a multi-sited study of Senegalese migration and marriage that showcases contemporary changes in kinship practices across the globe engendered by the neoliberal demand for mobility and flexibility. Based on ten years of ethnographic research in both Europe and Senegal, the book examines a particular social outcome of economic globalization: transnational marriages between Senegalese migrant men living in Europe and women at home in Senegal. These marriages have grown exponentially among the Senegalese, as economic and social possibilities within the country have steadily declined. More and more, building successful social lives within Senegal seems to require reaching outside the country, through either migration or marriage to a migrant. New kinds of affective connection, and disconnection, arise as Senegalese men and women reshape existing conceptions of spousal responsibility, filial duty, Islamic piety, and familial care. Dinah Hannaford connects these Senegalese transnational marriages to the broader pattern of flexible kinship arrangements emerging across the global south, arguing that neoliberal globalization and its imperative for mobility extend deep into the family and the heart and stretch relationships across borders.

Описание:
What can we learn from looking at married partners who live apart? In Commuter Spouses, Danielle Lindemann explores how couples cope when they live apart to meet the demands of their dual professional careers. Based on the personal stories of almost one-hundred commuter spouses, Lindemann shows how these atypical relationships embody (and sometimes disrupt!) gendered constructions of marriage in the United States. These narratives of couples who physically separate to maintain their professional lives reveal the ways in which traditional dynamics within a marriage are highlighted even as they are turned on their heads. Commuter Spouses follows the journeys of these couples as they adapt to change and shed light on the durability of some cultural ideals, all while working to maintain intimacy in a non-normative relationship.
Lindemann suggests that everything we know about marriage, and relationships in general, promotes the idea that couples are focusing more and more on their individual and personal betterment and less on their marriage. Commuter spouses, she argues, might be expected to exemplify in an extreme manner that kind of self-prioritization. Yet, as this book details, commuter spouses actually maintain a strong commitment to their marriage. These partners illustrate the stickiness of traditional marriage ideals while simultaneously subverting expectations.
This book is based on the life and health of my husband, Melvin, a retired army soldier, and the struggle he has been facing after receiving a flu vaccine and the hard time I have endured during my husband's illness.
Five years ago, my husband became physically ill after receiving a shot. If someone would have told me that our world was going to come tumbling down, I would have said that's not true. And then it happened. Everything started to fall apart. I just could not believe what was before my eyes. This bad vaccine took over my husband's life and my life, and because he was so sick, I took on the responsibility of being my husband's caregiver. I had no idea my job would be so difficult and painful. I started to feel as if we were being punished, but in my heart, I know that was not true because God does not put more on us than we can bear. But later I had to learn how to be a nurse overnight in order to take care of my husband, and because I love him so dearly, I had no problem taking on this task.

Amazingly it is a journey that can lead to hope and healing. The trauma is massive, and the journey is difficult. This book has been written using the stories of many spouses who have navigated their way through the darkness of the night and into the light of hope and healing. Spouses of Sex Addicts is a continuation of S.A.R.A.H. (Spouses of Addicts Rebuilding and Healing.) It includes updated stories, more emphasis on healing from trauma, and information on working with children who have been exposed to sexual addiction. "This book will be an encouragement and source of valuable information for spouses who are reeling from the reality of sexual addiction in their partners. I'm grateful that this book is there to provide healthy, appropriate information mixed with real life stories that impart wisdom and hope; not hope in what the addict chooses to do or not do, but hope in the ability of the spouse to recover and grow in spite of the devastation of sexual addiction." Dr. Barbara Steffens Steffens Counseling Services Co-author of Your Sexually Addicted Spouse
