Every few months there's a shocking news story about the sustained, and often fatal, abuse of a disabled person. It's easy to write off such cases as bullying that got out of hand, terrible criminal anomalies or regrettable failures of the care system, but in fact they point to a more uncomfortable and fundamental truth about how our society treats its most unequal citizens. In Scapegoat, Katharine Quarmby looks behind the headlines to question and understand our discomfort with disabled people. Combining fascinating examples from history with tenacious investigation and powerful first person interviews, Scapegoat will change the way we think about disability - and about the changes we must make as a society to ensure that disabled people are seen as equal citizens, worthy of respect, not targets for taunting, torture and attack.

A “brief and vital account” of humanity’s long history of playing the blame game, from Adam and Eve to modern politics—“a relevant and timely subject” (The Daily Telegraph). We may have come a long way from the days when a goat was symbolically saddled with all the iniquities of the children of Israel and driven into the wilderness, but has our desperate need to absolve ourselves by pinning the blame on someone else really changed all that much? Charlie Campbell highlights the plight of all those others who have found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, illustrating how God needs the Devil as Sherlock Holmes needs Professor Moriarty or James Bond needs “Goldfinger.” Scapegoat is a tale of human foolishness that exposes the anger and irrationality of blame-mongering while reminding readers of their own capacity for it. From medieval witch burning to reality TV, this is a brilliantly relevant and timely social history that looks at the obsession, mania, persecution, and injustice of scapegoating. “A wry, entertaining study of the history of blame . . . Trenchantly sardonic.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download Family Scapegoats-A Hidden Epidemic Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Patricia Jones, M.A. provides help, hope and advice for how to understand what scapegoating actually is and how to prevent this form of abuse from one's own family of origin, by removing yourself as their "target" and finally finding peace in your adult years. Patricia Jones, M.A. has written this book to those who have discovered that they are the Scapegoat in their families of origin and who as grown adults are still begin scapegoated by their families. The tactics used by these families are slander, lies, blaming, ostracizing the scapegoat, and a complete lack of love and respect, among other things. These toxic methods are so toxic, that their families will even slander the scapegoat to the other relatives and friends of the scapegoat so that it infiltrates their entire extended families and friends. Finding themselves in a "no win" situation with their narcissistic family members, they are desperate to find the answers to this puzzling dilemma and are searching for peace in their lives and a way to end this toxic treatment by their own families. Patricia Jones, M.A. is a therapist who was the scapegoat in her own family of origin and she has written this book as a witness and testimony revealing how she came to understand that there is an evil pattern of "narcissism and psychopathic traits" in these very dysfunctional family members that creates a favorite "golden child" sibling or siblings who can do no wrong, and the "targeted Scapegoat child" who is completely innocent and who does not deserve such unfounded and unjust treatment from their parents and siblings. As a counselor who has counseled hundreds of scapegoats from all over the world, Patricia Jones, M.A. has determined that being the Family Scapegoat has reached "epidemic levels" and is the cause of intense suffering for those "targeted" by their own families for such abuse. She reveals the "root cause" of how and why this is occurring and the solution to how to stop the generational cycle of abuse that occurs in these families. And finally Patricia Jones, M.A. gives hope and confidence to the scapegoated person, detailing how they are not the problem within their dysfunctional families, and never were. It is the narcissistic family members who are the problem and who have been "gas lighting" the scapegoat for their entire lives. She shows the scapegoat how to remove themselves permanently as the "family target" and to move on with their lives without guilt and remorse, and who then can begin to enjoy their lives and find the happiness that has eluded them for years and that they so deserve.

When a murderous psychopath goes on a killing spree, law enforcement officials and the media never make his religion the central issue—unless he happens to be a Muslim. Then it sets off another frenzied wave of commentary about the inherent evils that lurk within the Muslim faith. From Fox News talking heads, who regularly smear Muslim leaders as secret terrorists, to Bill Maher, who has made Islam a routine target, it has become widely acceptable to libel a religion with a following of over 1.5 billion people—nearly one-quarter of the world’s population. Now popular commentator Arsalan Iftikhar—better known as “The Muslim Guy”—offers a spirited defense of his faith that is certain to win him wide acclaim—and yes, another round of overheated scolding from the usual media quarters. Iftikahr’s spirited defense of his faith is certain to hit a chord during the 2016 campaign season, as politicians and pundits vie to be the toughest on the block when it comes to escalating the hostilities in the Middle East, often demonizing Islam in the process. With his witty and levelheaded demeanor, the author will cut through all the sound and fury as a voice of sanity and reason.

Download Romaphobia Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Based on first-hand accounts from Roma communities, Romaphobia is an examination of the discrimination faced by one of the most persecuted groups in Europe. Well-researched and informative, it shows that this discrimination has its roots in the early history of the European nation-state, and the ways in which the landless Roma have been excluded from national communities founded upon a notion of belonging to a particular territory. Romaphobia allows us to unpick this relationship between identity and belonging, and shows the way towards the inclusion of Roma in society, providing vital insights for other marginalized communities.
