Foreword by Desmond Tutu. 8 ¼ x 10 ½ 105 color photographs. 232 pages. paperback. keywords: Political Science Quilts. DESCRIPTION - Quilts and Human Rights offers a new understanding of the history of global human rights as seen through textiles of awareness and activism. Of all the textile forms linked to human rights activities, one form - the quilt - has proved an especially potent and popular form for individuals, working alone or as part of organized groups, to subversively or overtly act for human rights. Through a description of this activity over time and space, Quilts and Human Rights advances awareness of critical human rights issues: suffrage, race relations, civil wars, natural disasters, HIV/AIDs, and ethnic, sexual, and gender discrimination. Quilts and Human Rights pays tribute to the individuals who have used needle skills to prick the conscience and encourage action against human rights violations.'This well-researched and important book sheds new light on the work of thousands of quilt artists who have used needle, thread, and cloth for advocacy, education, and reflection on human rights.' - Rev. Canon Mp ho Tu tu, executive director of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Foundation 'Beautifully written with a venerable combination of straightforward expression and intellectual sophistication, Quilts and Human Rights successfully bridges the fields of women's studies and visual arts with a brilliant survey of national and international human rights quilts.' - Carolyn L.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Some girls collect dolls. Mary Wagner collected bad memories. As soon as she was able to hold a spoon or use a mop, she was put to good use. Mary grew up in a nursing home filled with physical oddities that made the Elephant Man look like a regular Joe. Her co-workers included ten siblings, a compliant Father, and her tyrannical Mother, Nurse Juil Wagner who built a legacy caring for hundreds of needy children, but her capacity to show love to her own family had been hindered by her own childhood neglect. At the defenseless age of ten, Mary was ordered to watch over one of her Mother's prized patients named Betsey. Despite her handicaps, Betsey was able to decipher the pain and hurt of those around her and predict their fates, especially Mary's. Resentful of her gift and desperate for attention, Mary did a horrible thing to Betsey when no one was looking. After many years of trying to redeem herself, Mary escaped to the spinning 70's disco lights of San Francisco only to be caught in the clutches of Nick, the unscrupulous nightclub doorman who hypnotized her into a false love, and Sayyid, the suave Persian drug lord who controlled them both. It would take a message from Betsey's death bed, one that only Mary could decipher, to spark the beginning of transformation. Decades later, married and with a family of her own, Mary realizes the only way to secure her three daughter's future was to go back and rectify her past. Mary now embarks on another journey, the most dangerous of all. She will take her family back to the place where the horrible thing had been done and confess her sins. Only then would she be able to put Betsey's ghost to rest and face the Mother whom she falsely blamed. Heavens To Betsey is a personal memoir spanning three generations of women struggling to gain independence from their traditional roles and will cry out to anyone who has experienced 'Mommy Dearest' issues. It is a 'peak through your fingers' unfolding tale about a young woman searching for love in all the wrong alleys, the abusive relationship that took her to hell and back and the young disabled child who refused to let her go - even after death. It's about bleeding childhood memories, how they shape our truths and create the monsters under our beds. Heavens To Betsey is a story that will shape those who crave love and attention, motivate those deciding between right and wrong and inspire those searching for forgiveness. If you have ever fallen or have been lost, this story will lift you up and help you find your way home. This item is printed on demand.
