The Matriarch Matrix

The Matriarch is an epic bridging the saga of a pre-neolithic family with their descendants in modern day. The novel is composed of a number of interwoven stories across different time periods.Set in 2021, the two principal characters have genetic and behavior links to a pre-neolithic matriarchal family who find an object which brings to them a guiding monotheistic voice. Their saga spans a millennia tracing from the Crimea to the 12,000 year old temple of Gobekli Tepe at the border of modern day Turkey and Syria, the middle of the next world war in 2021. A yin-yang relationship builds in modern day between a strong determined Kurdish woman of deep faith, Zara, and an atheistic alien believing naive editor from California, Peter, whose clashes are moderated by a former Catholic priest.A series of oral traditions and family artifacts brings these three culturally and religiously diverse people together to solve the 12,000 year old mystery of an object which spawned a faith which could bring peace or destruction to their times. The principal female characters of 9600 BCE, Nanshe, and 2021, Zara, are both survivors of capture and sexual slavery by brutal patriarchal forces of their times. Nanshe¿s story follows how through faith and determination she rebuilt herself and her family from her captivity, which ultimately provides Zara a vision of her way of rebuilding herself fully in the midst of impending chaos in her world.

This is Dawning of the Matriarch Society: The Extinction Riddle Solution. All the great nations face a fertility crisis. An enlightened poet comes to tell them why, and that the news gets worse, delivering a bitter cure to a utopian future. Infertility stalks America and, indeed, the world as it has done to all vanquished cultures. Science and the reproduction experts have hoodwinked American women into believing that making babies is as easy as growing fungus in a petri dish. Let us call it making babies without benefit of love. By default, the event places no importance on the act of sexual love. It is the zenith of cultural misplaced adulation and amoral desperation as reflected in government for these many years. Author Alan Paine claims guidance from the divine feminine in bringing an answer to what is a riddle perhaps hundreds of thousands of years old. Why can we no longer reproduce? Such is the riddle of humanity, and it is, at long last, answered here. Predicted by the current Dalai Lama and even Nostradamus, Dawning of the Matriarch Society is prophecy come to life. It is born of timeless tears and forged in mystical fires of cosmic creation. Where spirituality meets reason waits the last renaissance.

There is a growing recognition that existing theories on, and approaches to, health inequities are limited in their ability to capture how they are produced through changing, co-constituted, and intersecting effects of multiple forms of oppression. Intersectionality considers the interactions and combined impacts of social locations and structural processes on the creation and perpetuation of inequities. This volume brings together activists, scholars, and community-based researchers to apply interpretations of intersectionality to health and organizational governance cases. By addressing specific health issues, it demonstrates that inequities cannot be understood without the interrogation of power and diverse social locations and structures that shape lives and experiences of health.
