古早美式強行愈療大團圓。被一個寄予愛情想像的新朋友以這種程度出賣,最後還能相愛未免太輕巧了吧。Ruby和家人在傳譯這事上的關係更像是一個相處了比較長時間的手語志願者而不是家人。比如隨口就能說出“你自己去問啊” “你不要跟我說,去跟他們說啊” 但是卻又覺得傳譯是個麻煩、難為情的事而逃避甚至拒絕提供幫助。還有家人來參加自己的第一次歌唱演出卻對家人聽不到這事完全無感,把手語傳譯歌唱內容這個設計硬生生留到考伯克利才呈現出來。以至於看到母親說出曾希望Ruby也是聽障,這樣一家人都是一樣的,還有哥哥Leo咆哮我們不是弱者的時候,都沒有感受到預期的衝擊(因為之前有在播客裡聽過關於該片的討論)。

From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century Goodreads
From Here to Equality
author: William A. Darity Jr. / A. Kirsten Mullen
Racism and discrimination have choked economic opportunity for African Americans at nearly every turn. At several historic moments, the trajectory of racial inequality could have been altered dramatically. Perhaps no moment was more opportune than the early days of Reconstruction, when the U.S. government temporarily implemented a major redistribution of land from former slaveholders to the newly emancipated enslaved. But neither Reconstruction nor the New Deal nor the civil rights struggle led to an economically just and fair nation. Today, systematic inequality persists in the form of housing discrimination, unequal education, police brutality, mass incarceration, employment discrimination, and massive wealth and opportunity gaps. Economic data indicates that for every dollar the average white household holds in wealth the average black household possesses a mere ten cents.
In
, William Darity Jr. and A. Kirsten Mullen confront these injustices head-on and make the most comprehensive case to date for economic reparations for U.S. descendants of slavery. After opening the book with a stark assessment of the intergenerational effects of white supremacy on black economic well-being, Darity and Mullen look to both the past and the present to measure the inequalities borne of slavery. Using innovative methods that link monetary values to historical wrongs, they next assess the literal and figurative costs of justice denied in the 155 years since the end of the Civil War. Finally, Darity and Mullen offer a detailed roadmap for an effective reparations program, including a substantial payment to each documented U.S. black descendant of slavery. Taken individually, any one of the three eras of injustice outlined by Darity and Mullen--slavery, Jim Crow, and modern-day discrimination--makes a powerful case for black reparations. Taken collectively, they are impossible to ignore.

Speak Out: I Had an Abortion (2005) Douban
director: Gillian Aldrich actor: Sally Aldrich / Byllye Avery
Underneath the din of politicians posturing about "life" and "choice" and beyond the shouted slogans about murder and rights, there are real stories of real women who have had abortions. Each year in the US, 1.3 million abortions occur, but the topic is still so stigmatized it's never discussed in polite company.
Powerful, poignant, and fiercely honest, I HAD AN ABORTION tackles this taboo, featuring 10 women - including famed feminist Gloria Steinem - who candidly describe experiences spanning seven decades, from the years before Roe v. Wade to the present day.
"Fresh, moving, important...Muriel Rukeyser wrote, 'If one woman told the truth about her life, the world would split open.' [This film] gives us 10 truth-telling women, and splits the world open in as many ways."- Katha Pollitt, The Nation

Jane: An Abortion Service (1996) Douban
director: Kate Kirtz / Nell Lundy
This fascinating political look at a little-known chapter in women's history tells the story of "Jane", the Chicago-based women's health group who performed nearly 12,000 safe illegal abortions between 1969 and 1973 with no formal medical training. As Jane members describe finding feminism and clients describe finding Jane, archival footage and recreations mingle to depict how the repression of the early sixties and social movements of the late sixties influenced this unique group. Both vital knowledge and meditation on the process of empowerment, Jane: An Abortion Service showcases the importance of preserving women's knowledge in the face of revisionist history. JANE: AN ABORTION SERVICE was funded by the Independent Television Service (ITVS) with funds provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

導論類。名副其實,太美了。每一個篇章展開又是好多好多抗爭歷史。從發展、分化、激進、反思、重組等等方面介紹了這段激動人心的歷史。原來現在還在熱議的話題、表述、策略等等都是從那裡來的。和其他革命一樣,所有這些都不是掌權者誰開明、誰睿智、誰誤打誤撞、誰打錯了算盤而得來的,跟這些首腦領袖都沒有關係。這都是一個個普通人做自己能做的,形成的合力的結果。是屬於自己的成就。作為個體或許會氣餒、失望、難過,沒關係的,因為作為一個集合,必然不會被這樣被擊敗的。這部電影就是證據。

The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story Goodreads
The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story
author: Nikole Hannah-Jones publishing house: Penguin Random House Audio Publishing Group 2021 - 11
A dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present.

In late August 1619, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty enslaved people from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years. This is sometimes referred to as the country’s original sin, but it is more than that: It is the source of so much that still defines the United States.

The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story builds on one of the most consequential journalistic events of recent years: The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning “1619 Project,” which reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This new book substantially expands on the original 1619 Project, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society, from politics, music, diet, traffic, and citizenship to capitalism, religion, and our democracy itself. This legacy can be seen in the way we tell stories, the way we teach our children, and the way we remember. Together, the elements of the book reveal a new origin story for the United States, one that helps explain not only the persistence of anti-Black racism and inequality in American life today, but also the roots of what makes the country unique.

The book also features a significant elaboration of the original project’s Pulitzer Prize–winning lead essay, by Nikole Hannah-Jones, on how the struggles of Black Americans have expanded democracy for all Americans, as well as two original pieces from Hannah-Jones, one of which makes a profound case for reparative solutions to this legacy of injustice.

This is a book that speaks directly to our current moment, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation’s founding and construction—and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life.
