Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. This book begins after the dramatic part is over.After the crossing, the borrowed room, the first job, the first letter, the first morning when life asks you to function in a place that does not yet know you.The real task is not only to move. It is to stand.This is a field manual for the daily ground. A form. A shift. A clinic. A child translating too much. A contract. A bill.What the book coversThirteen chapters take the parts of a life that have to be rebuilt at the same time, and work through them one at a time: Restart and Integration: what self-sufficiency actually means, and how to make daily life work where you liveAI for Self-Sufficiency: tools that help without replacing youGetting Organized and How Systems Read You: your documents, your record, and what institutions see when they look at youHealth and Home and Family Pressure: the parts that quietly decide whether the rest holdsLanguage and the Bridge Job, How You Earn, and Money: the job that is not the destination, and what to do with what comes inEducation for a Long Life, Protection, and The Long Game: what to learn, what to guard, and how to think in yearsIt closes with a Self-Assessment Matrix and a 30-Day Action Plan.What it means by self-sufficiencyNot lonely independence. The capability to act with judgment inside real interdependence. Help is not failure. Dependence is not shame. The work is to become harder to erase.On AI the position is plain. It is a tool, never an authority, including where it is used against people.Who it is forImmigrants, refugees, asylees, and families starting againCaseworkers, resettlement staff, and employment specialistsTeachers, sponsors, faith leaders, and employersNonprofits, libraries, and universities Atta Arghandiwal came to the United States in 1981 as an Afghan refugee with basic English and ten dollars, and rose from bank teller to senior vice president. He has spent the years since helping other immigrants reach self-sufficiency, as a mentor and as the author of the award-winning memoir Lost Decency.Sohrab Rasouli is an Afghan immigrant who has lived both sides of this book: he arrived as a newcomer and was helped, and later spent years helping other newcomers. In Afghanistan he taught, worked with universities, and built a learning space for students. In the United States he served as an Employment Specialist at Afghan Coalition and Lutheran Services and founded Noura, an AI work partner for employment teams. His work returns to one idea: the distance between what a person can do and the access they are given.Grounded in the capability approach of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, which asks not what a person owns but what a person is able to do.Wherever you are in the work of standing again, whether you arrived last month or fifty years ago, the work itself is the same work, and you can carry it. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
