Celebrating Black accomplishments in music, art, literature,\njournalism, politics, law, science, medicine, entertainment, and sports, Shani\nKing summons a magnificent historical and contemporary context for honoring\nthe fortitude of Black role models, women and men, who have achieved greatness\ndespite the grinding political and social constraints on Black life. Frederick\nDouglass, Toni Morrison, Sojourner Truth, John Lewis, Langston Hughes, Louis\nArmstrong, Maya Angelou, Aretha Franklin, and many more pass through these\npages. An America without their struggles, aspirations, and contributions\nwould be a shadow of the country we know. A hundred life sketches augment the\nnarrative, opening a hundred doors to lives and thinking that aren’t included\nin many history books. James Baldwin’s challenge is here: “We are responsible\nfor the world in which we find ourselves, if only because we are the only\nsentient force which can change it.” Actress Viola Davis’s words are here,\ntoo: “When I was younger, I did not exert my voice because I did not feel\nworthy of having a voice. I was taught so many things that didn’t include me.\nWhere was I? What were people like me doing?”  \n  \nThis book tells children what people like Viola were and are doing, and it\nassures Black children that they are, indisputably, worthy of having a voice.  \n  \n _Have I Ever Told You Black Lives Matter?_ is a book for this time and\nalways. It is time for all children to live and breathe the certainty that\nBlack lives matter. ...more\n\n",

The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality.\nIt is about power—which groups have it and which do not.”  \n  \nIn this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an\nunseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply\nresearched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and\nthroughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid\nhierarchy of human rankings.  \n  \nBeyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that\ninfluences people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the\ncaste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight\npillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine\nwill, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about\npeople—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball’s Satchel Paige, a single\nfather and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the\nways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She\ndocuments how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their\nout-cast of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that\nthere be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against;\nshe writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life\nexpectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics.\nFinally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and\ndestructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common\nhumanity. ...more\n\n",

    "description": "Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you\nread that certain people shouldn’t practice yoga or cook Chinese food? Or been\ntold that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological\nsex, or that only white people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas,\nand do you wonder how they have managed so quickly to challenge Have you heard\nthat language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that\ncertain people shouldn’t practice yoga or cook Chinese food? Or been told that\nbeing obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that\nonly white people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you\nwonder how they have managed so quickly to challenge the very logic of Western\nsociety?  \n  \nIn this probing and intrepid volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay\ndocument the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse\norigins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic\nfields.  \n  \nToday this dogma is recognizable as much by its effects, such as cancel\nculture and social-media dogpiles, as by its tenets, which are all too often\nembraced as axiomatic in mainstream media: knowledge is a social construct;\nscience and reason are tools of oppression; all human interactions are sites\nof oppressive power play; and language is dangerous.  \n  \nAs Pluckrose and Lindsay warn, the unchecked proliferation of these anti-\nEnlightenment beliefs present a threat not only to liberal democracy but also\nto modernity itself. While acknowledging the need to challenge the complacency\nof those who think a just society has been fully achieved, Pluckrose and\nLindsay break down how this often-radical activist scholarship does far more\nharm than good, not least to those marginalized communities it claims to\nchampion. They also detail its alarmingly inconsistent and illiberal ethics.  \n  \nOnly through a proper understanding of the evolution of these ideas, they\nconclude, can those who value science, reason, and consistently liberal ethics\nsuccessfully challenge this harmful and authoritarian orthodoxy—in the\nacademy, in culture, and beyond. ...more\n\n",

Coping with the strain of parental neglect and the elusive promise of\nU.S. citizenship, Talusan found childhood comfort from her devoted\ngrandmother, a grounding force as she was treated by others with special\npreference or public curiosity. As an immigrant to the United States, Talusan\ncame to be perceived as white. An academic scholarship to Harvard provided\naccess to elite circles of privilege but required Talusan to navigate through\nthe complex spheres of race, class, sexuality, and her place within the gay\ncommunity. She emerged as an artist and an activist questioning the boundaries\nof gender. Talusan realized she did not want to be confined to a prescribed\nrole as a man, and transitioned to become a woman, despite the risk of losing\na man she deeply loved. Throughout her journey, Talusan shares poignant and\npowerful episodes of desirability and love that will remind readers of works\nsuch as _Call Me By Your Name_ and _Giovanni's Room_. Her evocative\nreflections will shift our own perceptions of love, identity, gender, and the\nfairness of life. ...more\n\n",

With\nunconditional love and support from her mother, Corey successfully starts the\ntransition process with hopes of being comfortable in her own skin, being\naccepted by others, and raising awareness of young people who wish to\ntransition. At 16-years-old, Corey has become a voice for other trans teens,\nbattling bullies and helping others who are on their own individual journeys\nof identity. ...more\n\n",

Henry is odd, the town is dull, and worst of all, Jude feels\nout of place and alone.  \n  \nSo when Novo turns up in the house across the street, dressed all in black and\nlooking unbearably handsome, Jude's summer takes an immediate turn for the\nbetter. But Novo isn't all that he seems to be--or maybe he's more than Jude\ncan possibly understand. Novo is a time traveler, someone who wakes up in\ndifferent places and at different points in time with utter regularity. He\nknows that each Now is fleeting, that each moment is only worth the energy it\nexpends on itself, and that each experience he has will be lost to him before\nlong.  \n  \nBut Jude and Novo form a bond that shifts reality for both of them. Unlike\nanything he's ever experienced, Jude begins to question what forever really\nmeans--only to find out that Novo knows that forever isn't real. And when\nthings go horribly wrong, he and Novo are faced with an impossible question\nthat may change both of their lives irreparably--what is worth sacrificing for\nlove?  \n  \nA stunningly written, compelling exploration of what it means to love and live\nin the moment that quite literally defies both logic and time. ...more\n\n",

Inspired by his grandfather Pap\nPruitt, who successfully ran all sorts of businesses from a car wash to a\nroadside peanut stand, Mikey is still looking for his million-dollar idea.\nUnfortunately, most of his ideas so far have failed. A baby tornado ran off\nwith his general store, and the kids in his neighborhood never did come back\nfor their second croquet lesson. But Mikey is determined to keep at it.  \n  \nIt isn't until kid drag queen Coco Caliente, Mistress of Madness and Mayhem\n(aka eighth grader Julian Vasquez) walks into his office (aka his family's\nstorage/laundry room) looking for an agent that Mikey thinks he's finally\nfound his million-dollar idea, and the Anything Talent and Pizzazz Agency is\nborn!  \n  \nSoon, Mikey has a whole roster of kid clients looking to hit it big or at\nleast win the middle school talent show's hundred-dollar prize. As newly out\nMikey prepares Julian for the gig of a lifetime, he realizes there's no\nrulebook for being gay--and if Julian can be openly gay at school, maybe Mikey\ncan, too, and tell his crush, dreamy Colton Sanford, how he feels.  \n  \nFull of laughs, sass, and hijinks, this hilarious, heartfelt story shows that\nwith a little effort and a lot of love, anything is possible. ...more\n\n",

Although\nJim Crow laws have been wiped off the books, an astounding percentage of the\nAfrican American community remains trapped in a subordinate status--much like\ntheir grandparents before them.  \n  \nIn this incisive critique, former litigator-turned-legal-scholar Michelle\nAlexander provocatively argues that we have not ended racial caste in America:\nwe have simply redesigned it. Alexander shows that, by targeting black men and\ndecimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as\na contemporary system of racial control, even as it formally adheres to the\nprinciple of color blindness. The New Jim Crow challenges the civil rights\ncommunity--and all of us--to place mass incarceration at the forefront of a\nnew movement for racial justice in America. ...more\n\n",

Younger people are less and less supportive of\nreproductive rights. Since 1996, state legislatures have enacted nearly 300\npieces of anti-choice legislation. With _Roe_ in jeopardy, International\nPlanned Parenthood Council Chair Alexander Sanger asks a simple but heretical\nquestion: How many more pieces of anti-choice legislation will it take to get\nthe pro-choice movement to rethink its approach to the issue?  \n  \nIn _Beyond Choice_ Sanger explores the history of the reproductive rights\nmovement to discover how it got stuck in its thinking, and then provides a\nconvincing new argument for the moral rightness of its cause. He shows why it\nis vital to the health and survival of the human race that couples be able to\nhave children, or not, when they choose; why reproductive rights are just as\nimportant to men as to women; and why, in an era of new reproductive\ntechnologies, completely unfettered choice is not morally defensible.  \n  \n _Beyond Choice_ is inspiring and important reading for women's rights\nadvocates, opinion leaders, medical ethicists, and anyone concerned to\npreserve our freedom to reproduce, or not, without government intervention.\n...more\n\n",

A marvelously direct writer with keen insight into\nwhat makes the average American tick, laugh and occasionally boil with rage,\nGoodman takes her measure of the national psyche in a voice that is at once\nperceptive, witty and deeply humane.  \n  \n\"Paper Trail,\" her first collection in more than ten years, journeys through\nan era that has been golden in its advances and bleak in its disappointments.\nIn a voice both reasoned and impassioned, she makes sense of the cultural\ndebates that have captured our attention and sometimes become national\nobsessions. She wrestles with the close-to-the-bone issues of abortion,\nworking mothers and gay marriage, the struggles for civil liberties and equal\nrights, and the moral complexity of assisted suicide and biotech babies. As\nshe wends through the era of the Clinton scandals and the \"amBushing\" of\nAmerica, the dot-com boom and bust, the horrors of September 11 and the War on\nTerrorism, Goodman pauses to celebrate some of our lost icons, including\nJackie Onassis, Princess Diana and Doctor Spock. She reminds us as well of the\nfleeting fame of such instant celebrities as Elian Gonzalez and Lorena\nBobbitt.  \n  \nThe lines that separate public and private life dissolve under Goodman's\nscrutiny as she shows us how Washington politics, SiliconValley technology and\nthe national media culture infiltrate our jobs, relationships and minds. With\nthe trademark clarity that readers count on, she walks us through the dilemmas\nposed by new technologies that range from cloning to cell phones and makes us\nlaugh at the vagaries of Viagra and Botox and unreality TV. And in a world\nthat sometimes seems to be stuck on fast forward, she holds on to values as\ntimeless as a family Thanksgiving and a summer porch in Maine.  \n  \nIncluding more than 160 of Ellen Goodman's lively and stylish columns, this\ntimely collection walks us along the paper trail in a voice that is both\ncrystal clear and original. ...more\n\n",

Irvine offers not only the first comprehensive\nhistory of the culture wars over sex education but also an important\nexamination of the politics of sexual speech in the United States. Exploring\nthe clash between professional sex education advocates on the one hand and the\npoliticized Christian Right on the other, Irvine vividly demonstrates the\ncrucial role that sexual speech plays in cultural politics. Examining a range\nof issues played out in living rooms and schools since the 1960s, she shows\nhow a newly emerging Christian Right chose sex education as one of its first\nbattlegrounds, then went on to dominate the public conversation on the\nsubject. _Talk about Sex_ is a rich and fascinating consideration of American\nsex education's strategic place in the long history of efforts to regulate\nsexual morality by controlling sexual speech.  \n  \nIrvine's original argument shows how sex education served as a bridge issue\nbetween the Old Right and the New Right. Exploring the political uses of\nemotion as it relates to sexuality, Irvine demonstrates how this movement\ndraws on the tenacious power of sexual shame and fear in order to galvanize\nopposition to sex education. This book skillfully demonstrates how—by framing\nsex education as radical, dangerous, and immoral—the Right has fostered a\nclimate in which it is risky, as former Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders found,\nto speak out in support of sexuality education. ...more\n\n",

His first choice is a nationally respected Court\nof Appeals judge, a woman whose nomination faces two serious obstacles: a\nlong-held personal secret; and the prospect that a volatile abortion case- a\ntrial pitting a 15-year-old girl against her pro-life parents- will come\nbefore the court. And the Senate majority leader is determined to thwart the\npresident's nomination for reasons that cross the boundary between the\npolitical and the personal.  \nAs these stories intertwine, building in complexity and suspense, Patterson\ngives us the resounding clash of competing ambitions between the president and\nthe majority leader; the equally momentous collision of science and culture in\nthe courtroom; and, in an unprecedented novelistic depiction of the legal\nprocess from the perspective of the judge rather than the lawyers, a\nrevelation of both how the judicial system works and how it intersects with\npolitics, for better or for worse.  \n\"PROTECT AND DEFEND\" is a triumph- the definitive novel of politics and law at\nthe dawn of the 21st century. ...more\n\n",

To celebrate Harris's incredible success, and offer his fans the\nopportunity to own, at last, a hardcover version of **Invisible Life** ,\nDoubleday is proud to announce a special edition of the book so many have\ncherished.  \n  \n **Invisible Life** is the story of a young man's coming of age. Law school,\ngirlfriends, and career choices were all part of Raymond Tyler's life, but\nthere were other, more terrifying issues for him to confront. Being black was\ntough enough, but Raymond was becoming more and more conscious of sexual\nfeelings that he knew weren't \"right.\" He was completely committed to Sela,\nhis longtime girlfriend, but his attraction to Kelvin, whom he had met during\nhis last year in law school, had become more than just a friendship. No matter\nhow much he tried to suppress them, his feelings were deeply sexual.  \n  \nFleeing to New York to escape both Sela and Kelvin, Raymond finds himself more\nconfused than ever before. New relationships--both male and female--give him\nenormous pleasure but keep him from finding the inner peace and lasting love\nhe so desperately desires. The horrible illness and death of a friend force\nRaymond, at last, to face the truth.  \n  \n **Invisible Life** has been hailed as \"one of the most thought-provoking\nbooks--since James Baldwin's Another Country\" ( **Richmond Voice** ), and\nHarris's \"stories have become the toast of bookstores, reading groups, men,\nwomen, and gay and straight people\" ( **Atlanta Journal-Constitution** ).  \n  \nProceeds from the sale of this special fifth anniversary edition will go to\nthe E. Lynn Harris Foundation, a charitable organization that gives young\npeople across the country the opportunity to study writing with established\nauthors, and also aids emerging artists. ...more\n\n",

From Puritan minister Cotton Mather to Thomas Jefferson, from\nfiery abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison to brilliant scholar W. E. B.

While racist ideas are easily\nproduced and easily consumed, they can also be discredited. In shedding\nmuch–needed light on the murky history of racist ideas, _Stamped from the\nBeginning_ offers tools to expose them—and in the process, reason to hope.\n...more\n\n",

Which makes it hard for him to be in love with his straight best\nfriend. For his part, Matt is completely oblivious to the way Tretch feels –\nand Tretch can’t tell whether that makes it better or worse.  \n  \nThe problem with living a lie is that the lie can slowly become your life. For\nTretch, the problem isn’t just with Matt. His family has no idea who he really\nis and what he’s really thinking. The girl at the local bookstore has no clue\nhow off-base her crush on him is. And the guy at school who’s a thorn in\nTretch’s side doesn’t realize how close to the truth he’s hitting.  \n  \nTretch has spent a lot of time dancing alone in his room, but now he’s got to\nstep outside his comfort zone and into the wider world. Because like love, a\ntrue self can rarely be contained.  \n  \nANYTHING COULD HAPPEN is a poignant, hard-hitting exploration of love and\nfriendship, a provocative debut that shows that sometimes we have to let\nthings fall apart before we can make them whole again. ...more\n\n",

But it was The inspiring true story of a transgender\ngirl, her identical twin brother, and an ordinary American family’s\nextraordinary journey to understand, nurture, and celebrate the uniqueness in\nus all, from the Pulitzer Prize–winning science reporter for _The Washington\nPost_  \n  \nWhen Wayne and Kelly Maines adopted identical twin boys, they thought their\nlives were complete. But it wasn’t long before they noticed a marked\ndifference between Jonas and his brother, Wyatt. Jonas preferred sports and\ntrucks and many of the things little boys were “supposed” to like; but Wyatt\nliked princess dolls and dress-up and playing Little Mermaid. By the time the\ntwins were toddlers, confusion over Wyatt’s insistence that he was female\nbegan to tear the family apart. In the years that followed, the Maineses came\nto question their long-held views on gender and identity, to accept and\nembrace Wyatt’s transition to Nicole, and to undergo an emotionally wrenching\ntransformation of their own that would change all their lives forever.  \n  \n _Becoming Nicole_ chronicles a journey that could have destroyed a family but\ninstead brought it closer together. It’s the story of a mother whose instincts\ntold her that her child needed love and acceptance, not ostracism and\ndisapproval; of a Republican, Air Force veteran father who overcame his\ndeepest fears to become a vocal advocate for trans rights; of a loving brother\nwho bravely stuck up for his twin sister; and of a town forced to confront its\nprejudices, a school compelled to rewrite its rules, and a courageous\ncommunity of transgender activists determined to make their voices heard.\nUltimately, _Becoming Nicole_ is the story of an extraordinary girl who fought\nfor the right to be herself.  \n  \nGranted wide-ranging access to personal diaries, home videos, clinical\njournals, legal documents, medical records, and the Maineses themselves, Amy\nEllis Nutt spent almost four years reporting this immersive account of an\nAmerican family confronting an issue that is at the center of today’s cultural\ndebate. _Becoming Nicole_ will resonate with anyone who’s ever raised a child,\nfelt at odds with society’s conventions and norms, or had to embrace life when\nit plays out unexpectedly. It’s a story of standing up for your beliefs and\nyourself—and it will inspire all of us to do the same. ...more\n\n",

More recent examples include the\nSteubenville rape case and the murders of Matthew Shepard, Jennifer Daugherty,\nMarcelo Lucero, and Trayvon Martin. Most Americans see such acts as driven by\nhate. But is this right? Longtime activists and political theorists Kay\nWhitlock and Michael Bronski boldly assert that American society’s reliance on\nthe framework of hate to explain these acts is wrongheaded, misleading, and\nultimately harmful.  \n  \nAll too often Americans choose to believe that terrible cruelty is aberrant,\ncaused primarily by “extremists” and misfits. The inevitable remedy of\nintensified government-based policing, increased surveillance, and harsher\npunishments has never worked and does not work now. Stand-your-ground laws;\nthe US prison system; police harassment of people of color, women, and LGBT\npeople; and the so-called war on terror demonstrate that the remedies\nthemselves are forms of institutionalized violence.  \n  \n _Considering Hate_ challenges easy assumptions and failed solutions, arguing\nthat “hate violence” reflects existing cultural norms. Drawing upon social\nscience, philosophy, theology, film, and literature, the authors examine how\nhate and common, even ordinary, forms of individual and group violence are\nexcused and normalized in popular culture and political discussion. This\nmassive denial of brutal reality profoundly warps society’s ideas about\ngoodness and justice.  \n  \nWhitlock and Bronski invite readers to radically reimagine the meaning and\nstructures of justice within a new framework of community wholeness,\ncollective responsibility, and civic goodness. ...more\n\n",

Entonces Jude conoce a un chico guapo, frágil y arrogante... y a\nalguien más, una nueva fuerza en su vida, todavía más impredecible y ligada a\nsu pasado de forma inevitable.  \n  \nLos primeros años de esta historia los cuenta Noah; los últimos, Jude. Lo que\nninguno comprende es que apenas conocen la mitad de la historia. Si tan sólo\npudieran compartirla. ...more\n\n",

Arriving in Buenos Aires, she discovers that he has\nbeen killed, but she remains: living in a tenement, without friends or family,\non the brink of destitution. Still, she is seduced by the music that\nunderscores life in the city: tango, born from lower-class immigrant voices,\nnow the illicit, scandalous dance of brothels and cabarets. Leda eventually\nacts on a long-held desire to master the violin, knowing that she can never\nplay in public as a woman. She cuts off her hair, binds her breasts, and\nbecomes “Dante,” a young man who joins a troupe of tango musicians bent on\nconquering the salons of high society. Now, gradually, the lines between Leda\nand Dante begin to blur, and feelings that she has long kept suppressed reveal\nthemselves, jeopardizing not only her musical career, but her life.  \n  \nRichly evocative of place and time, its prose suffused with the rhythms of the\ntango, its narrative at once resonant and gripping, this is De Robertis’s most\naccomplished novel yet. ...more\n\n",

A bacha posh (literally translated from Dari as \"dressed up like a\nboy\") is a third kind of child – a girl temporarily raised as a boy and\npresented as such to the outside world. Jenny Nordberg, the reporter who broke\nthe story of this phenomenon for the New York Times, constructs a powerful and\nmoving account of those secretly living on the other side of a deeply\nsegregated society where women have almost no rights and little freedom.  \n  \nThe Underground Girls of Kabul is anchored by vivid characters who bring this\nremarkable story to life: Azita, a female parliamentarian who sees no other\nchoice but to turn her fourth daughter Mehran into a boy; Zahra, the tomboy\nteenager who struggles with puberty and refuses her parents' attempts to turn\nher back into a girl; Shukria, now a married mother of three after living for\ntwenty years as a man; and Nader, who prays with Shahed, the undercover female\npolice officer, as they both remain in male disguise as adults.  \n  \nAt the heart of this emotional narrative is a new perspective on the extreme\nsacrifices of Afghan women and girls against the violent backdrop of America's\nlongest war. Divided into four parts, the book follows those born as the\nunwanted sex in Afghanistan, but who live as the socially favored gender\nthrough childhood and puberty, only to later be forced into marriage and\nchildbirth. The Underground Girls of Kabul charts their dramatic life cycles,\nwhile examining our own history and the parallels to subversive actions of\npeople who live under oppression everywhere. ...more\n\n",

Watched\nlovingly by her relatives and friends, making her entrance to the music of\nPrince, she wears a special custom-made dress. But the event is not without\npoignancy. Sixteen years earlier, that very dress was measured and sewn for a\ndifferent wearer: Melody's mother, for her own ceremony-- a celebration that\nultimately never took place.  \n  \nUnfurling the history of Melody's parents and grandparents to show how they\nall arrived at this moment, Woodson considers not just their ambitions and\nsuccesses but also the costs, the tolls they've paid for striving to overcome\nexpectations and escape the pull of history. As it explores sexual desire and\nidentity, ambition, gentrification, education, class and status, and the life-\naltering facts of parenthood, _Red at the Bone_ most strikingly looks at the\nways in which young people must so often make long-lasting decisions about\ntheir lives--even before they have begun to figure out who they are and what\nthey want to be. ...more\n\n",

When she pictured an American\nlife for herself, she dreamed of a life like Aimee and Amber's, the title\ncharacters of her favorite American TV show. She never pictured fleeing her\nhome in El Salvador under threat of death and stealing across the US border as\n\"an illegal\", but after her brother is murdered and her younger sister,\nGabi's, life is also placed in equal jeopardy, she has no choice, especially\nbecause she knows everything is her fault. If she had never fallen for the\ncharms of a beautiful girl named Liliana, Pablo might still be alive, her\nmother wouldn't be in hiding and she and Gabi wouldn't have been caught\ncrossing the border.  \n  \nBut they have been caught and their asylum request will most certainly be\ndenied. With truly no options remaining, Marisol jumps at an unusual\nopportunity to stay in the United States. She's asked to become a grief\nkeeper, taking the grief of another into her own body to save a life. It's a\nrisky, experimental study, but if it means Marisol can keep her sister safe,\nshe will risk anything. She just never imagined one of the risks would be\nfalling in love, a love that may even be powerful enough to finally help her\nface her own crushing grief.  \n  \nThe Grief Keeper is a tender tale that explores the heartbreak and\nconsequences of when both love and human beings are branded illegal.\n\n...more\n\n",

He understands political power, and has organized a coalition\nof white nationalists to bring these groups into the mainstream.  \n  \n_Everything You Love Will Burn_ gives readers a front-row seat at violent\nwhite supremacist conventions, newly formed separatist communities, and\nbackroom meetings with Republican operatives. We meet a neo-Nazi lieutenant\nand his daughter in Brooklyn's Sheepshead Bay; a bubbly, twenty-something\nKlanswoman in Tennessee; and a solemn skinhead recruit in Georgia, and learn\nabout why they've tied their fates to these movements. By turns frightening\nand fascinating, _Everything You Love Will Burn_ shows us the future of hate\nin America.  \n  \n...more\n\n",

But before she was a prominent activist, and before she became the\nfirst transgender person to speak at the Democratic National Convention in\n2016, she was a teenager struggling with her identity.  \n  \nWith emotional depth and unparalleled honesty, Sarah shares her personal\nstruggle with gender identity, coming out to her supportive but distraught\nparents, and finding her way as a woman. She inspires readers with her\nbarrier-breaking political journey that took her, in just four years, from a\nfrightened, closeted college student to one of the nation's most prominent\ntransgender activists walking the halls of the White House, passing laws, and\naddressing the country in the midst of a heated presidential election. She\nalso details the heartbreaking romance with her first love and future husband\nAndy, a trans man and activist, who passed away from cancer in 2014 just days\nafter they were married.  \n  \nSarah's story of identity, love, and tragic loss serves as a powerful entry\npoint for readers who want to gain a deeper understanding of gender identity\nand what it means to be openly transgender. From issues like bathroom access\nto healthcare, identification and schools, Sarah weaves the important\npolitical milestones, cultural and political debates, and historical context\ninto a personal journey that will open hearts and change minds.  \n  \n_Tomorrow Will Be Different_ highlights Sarah’s work as an activist and the\nkey issues at the forefront of the fight for trans equality, providing a call-\nto-arms and empowering look at the road ahead. The fight for equality and\nfreedom has only just begun.  \n  \n“We must never be a country that says there’s only one way to love, only one\nway to look, and only one way to live.” –Sarah McBride ...more\n\n",

Now, she doesn’t have much of a\nplan at all: living at home, working as a performing mermaid at a second-rate\nwater park, distracting herself with one boy after another.  \n  \nThat changes the day she meets Leigh. Disillusioned with small-town life and\nlooking for something greater, Leigh is not a “nice girl.” She is unlike\nanyone Vanni has met, and a friend when Vanni desperately needs one. Soon\nenough, Leigh is much more than a friend. But caring about another person\nstirs up the moat Vanni has carefully constructed around herself, and\nthreatens to bring to the surface the questions she’s held under for so long.  \n  \nWith her signature stunning writing, Rebecca Podos, author of _The Mystery of\nHollow Places_ , has crafted a story of first love and of the complex ways in\nwhich the deepest parts of us are hidden, even from ourselves. ...more\n\n",

Americans have built an empire on the idea of\n“race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies\nof black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and,\ntoday, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it\nlike to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we\nall honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its\nburden?  \n  \n_Between the World and Me_ is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these\nquestions in a letter to his adolescent son.

Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined\nhistory, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, _Between the World and Me_\nclearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a\ntranscendent vision for a way forward. ...more\n\n",

Until recently, this has\ncertainly been the case with American Latinos/as, as evidenced by demeaning\nmedia stereotypes and the groups's near-invisibility in U.S. history texts.  \n  \nIndeed, as the demise of the Soviet empire shifted America's national\nanxieties to domestic irritants, images of Latinos/as changed for the worse.\nImmigration reform acts in 1965 and 1986 brought millions of new immigrants\nfrom Latin American countries. By the end of the 1980s, their presence had\nbecome vexing to many. English-only movements sprang up. Bilingual education\ncame under attack. Movements to close the border gained momentum.  \n  \nNow, Latinos/as are speaking back. **The Latino Condition** brings together\nsome of these new voices, and some of the pioneers, in law, sociology,\nhistory, politics, and literature. This pathbreaking volume addresses such\nquestions as:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWho exactly is a Latino/a? Who is Hispanic? Who is Chicano/a? How did Spanish-\nspeaking people come to the United States? Should the United States try to\ncontrol Latino/a immigration and is this even possible? How has \"the silent\nminority\" been stereotyped by popular culture? Why don't traditional civil\nrights remedies work for Latinos/as? Is assimilation possible, or even\ndesirable, for all Latinos/as? What makes for conflict between Latinos/as and\nother racial groups?  \nAre Latinos/as a race or an ethnicity? Should Latino/a children be taught in\nSpanish? What can border theory tell us about culture, language, and power?\n...more\n\n",

She would, she thought, base her book on the frank\ndisclosures of others on the subject, but she was soon disabused of her\npresumption when forced to confront the fact that “the conversation” in her\nown family had not been forthright.  \n  \nNorris unearthed painful family secrets that compelled her to question her own\nself-understanding: from her father’s shooting by a Birmingham police officer\nweeks after his discharge from the navy at the conclusion of World War II to\nher maternal grandmother’s peddling pancake mix as an itinerant Aunt Jemima to\nwhite farm women in the Midwest. In what became a profoundly personal and\nbracing journey into her family’s past, Norris traveled from her childhood\nhome in Minneapolis to her ancestral roots in the Deep South to explore the\nreasons for the “things left unsaid” by her father and mother when she was\ngrowing up, the better to come to terms with her own identity. Along the way\nshe discovered how her character was forged by both revelation and silence.  \n  \nExtraordinary for Norris’s candor in examining her own racial legacy and what\nit means to be an American, _The Grace of Silence_ is also informed by\nrigorous research in its evocation of time and place, scores of interviews\nwith ordinary folk, and wise observations about evolving attitudes, at once\nencouraging and disturbing, toward race in America today. For its\nparticularity and universality, it is powerfully moving, a tour de force.\n...more\n\n",

Beginning at the roots of Western\ncivilization, she traces the invention of the idea of a white race—often for\neconomic, scientific, and political ends. She shows how the origins of\nAmerican identity in the eighteenth century were intrinsically tied to the\nelevation of white skin into the embodiment of beauty, power, and\nintelligence; how the great American intellectuals— including Ralph Waldo\nEmerson—insisted that only Anglo Saxons were truly American; and how the\ndefinitions of who is “white” and who is “American” have evolved over time.  \n  \nA story filled with towering historical figures, _The History of White People_\ncloses an enormous gap in a literature that has long focused on the nonwhite,\nand it forcefully reminds us that the concept of “race” is an all-too-human\ninvention whose meaning, importance, and reality have changed according to a\nlong and rich history. 70 illustrations. ...more\n\n",

Each document is preceded by an introduction\nand is followed by analysis to help readers understand its significance and\nhistorical context.  \n  \n  \n  \nToday abortion is America's most contentious political and religious rallying\npoint. Yet 150 years ago it was a virtual non-issue, quietly performed for\ncenturies by women and mid-wives. What changed? This thought-provoking\nreference work explores the evolution of America's abortion debate in a\nbalanced selection of over 40 primary documents by doctors, feminists,\nreligious leaders, politicians, extremists, and judges from the 19th century\nto the present day. This guide not only examines the key laws and court cases,\nlike Roe v.

Memoirs of early abortion providers, excerpts from popular\nwomen's self-help books, the complete text of Pope Paul VI's Humanae Vitae,\nand personal writings from key liberal and conservative figures on both sides\nof the debate provide a more complete picture of an issue that is deeply\npersonal, deeply divisive, and anything but clear-cut.

People express their sexuality in many ways, and we receive\nmany, often conflicting, messages about what are appropriate and inappropriate\nexpressions of sexuality. As you grow and learn about your own and other\npeople's sexualities, many things can be exciting, confusing, and even\nfrightening. It can be disturbing to have sexual fantasies and urges and not\nknow the boundary between so-called normal thoughts and behaviors and those\nthat might be considered disordered. Prior to 1960, sexually deviant behaviors\nwere poorly understood and were considered to be failures in morality or a\nresult of poor upbringing. People suffering from these conditions were often\ntreated with electro-shock, talk therapy, jail sentences, and confinement in\nmental institutions, all of which had little positive effect on the patients.\nToday, with advances in treatments like drug therapy, there is new hope for\nthose who have spent so long suffering in silence and shame. Sexual Disorders\ndefines different sexual disorders, explains the criteria that put them over\nthe boundary line into the realm of psychiatric illness, and examines methods\nof treatment available to help individuals with these illnesses. In this\nbook's pages, you will learn about treatments used throughout history, the\nnewest drug therapy available, and alternative approaches for managing these\ndisorders. ...more\n\n",

But Brown's\ntroubling past was far from unique. In _Ebony and Ivy_ , Craig Steven Wilder,\na rising star in the profession of history, lays bare uncomfortable truths\nabout race, slavery, and the American academy.  \n  \nMany of America's revered colleges and universities—from Harvard, Yale, and\nPrinceton to Rutgers, Williams College, and UNC—were soaked in the sweat, the\ntears, and sometimes the blood of people of color. The earliest academies\nproclaimed their mission to Christianize the savages of North America, and\nplayed a key role in white conquest. Later, the slave economy and higher\neducation grew up together, each nurturing the other. Slavery funded colleges,\nbuilt campuses, and paid the wages of professors. Enslaved Americans waited on\nfaculty and students; academic leaders aggressively courted the support of\nslave owners and slave traders. Significantly, as Wilder shows, our leading\nuniversities, dependent on human bondage, became breeding grounds for the\nracist ideas that sustained them.  \n  \n _Ebony and Ivy_ is a powerful and propulsive study and the first of its kind,\nrevealing a history of oppression behind the institutions usually considered\nthe cradle of liberal politics. ...more\n\n",

In the past few years, several states across\nthe nation have passed Freedom to Marry bills for same-sex couples. But even\nwith the rise in recognition of LGBTQ families, acceptance has not necessarily\nfollowed. Unfortunately, young adults in LGBTQ families encounter many\nchallenges, from derision by their peers to the embarrassment of being\nperceived as different.LGBTQ Families: The Ultimate Teen Guide focuses on the\ndifficulties young people face as members of households in which one or more\nmembers are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, or\nqueer/questioning. This book offers encouragement, insights, and resources to\nhelp them cope with and embrace the uniqueness of their family life. Teens and\nadults from LGBTQ families--and teens who identify as LGBTQ themselves--tell\ntheir personal stories and share strategies they use to deal with a sometimes\nunaccepting society. Topics discussed include politics, religion, media, and\nbullying.Aimed at young adults with LGBTQ parents, teens who identify as\nLGBTQ, those who support LGBTQs, and anyone wanting to educate themselves on\nthe topic, this book will broaden understanding and enable teens and their\npeers to embrace the diversity of the modern family. ...more\n\n",

For while each has motivated people dramatically at particular\nmoments, they have rarely been as pervasive, as divisive, or as important as\nis suggested by such simplified polarities as “us versus them,” “black versus\nwhite,” or “the clash of civilizations.” For most of recorded time, these\nidentities have been more fluid and these differences less unbridgeable than\npolitical leaders, media commentators—and some historians—would have us\nbelieve. Throughout history, in fact, fruitful conversations have continually\ntaken place across these allegedly impermeable boundaries of identity: the\nworld, as Cannadine shows, has never been simply and starkly divided between\nany two adversarial solidarities but always an interplay of overlapping\nconstituencies.  \n  \nYet our public discourse is polarized more than ever around the same\nsimplistic divisions, and Manichean narrative has become the default mode to\nexplain everything that is happening in the world today. With wide-ranging\nerudition, David Cannadine compellingly argues against the pervasive and\npernicious idea that conflict is the inevitable state of human affairs. _The_\n_Undivided Past_ is an urgently needed work of history, one that is also about\nthe present—and the future.  ...more\n\n",

It's in the trees and on the\nstreets. It's hanging on the walls and piled in great heaps on the floor. Or\nis it really love? These sixth and seventh graders don't really know. But\nsomething is definitely amiss. They can't sleep, and when they do sleep they\nhave strange dreams. They get angry and cry, they blush and grin like idiots,\nfor no reason. And it isn't even spring. But the standard rules apply: If A is\nin love with B, B is certain to be in love with C, and C is likely to be in\nlove with D, or possibly A. And now it seems a good third of the alphabet is\nin love with our shy hero(ine), Nitori-kun.  \n  \nBut the flip-side of love is jealousy, and hate. The simple friendships of\nchildhood develop into the complex, tense relationships of adolescence.\nFriends become strangers, or worse. But while everyone seems to have caught\nthe bug, Volume 4 revolves solidly around the triangle of Nitori-kun,\nTakatsukisan, and Chiba-san. Yet centrifugal force seems to push the three\naway from each other, and there is a certain grimness as they say goodbye to\nelementary school, and put on the (highly gendered) uniforms of junior high\nschool. ...more\n\n",

He writes about families coping with deafness, dwarfism,\nDown's syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, or multiple severe disabilities; with\nchildren who are prodigies, who are conceived in rape, who become criminals,\nwho are transgender. While each of these characteristics is potentially\nisolating, the experience of difference within families is universal, and\nSolomon documents triumphs of love over prejudice in every chapter.  \n  \nAll parenting turns on a crucial question: to what extent should parents\naccept their children for who they are, and to what extent they should help\nthem become their best selves. Drawing on ten years of research and interviews\nwith more than three hundred families, Solomon mines the eloquence of ordinary\npeople facing extreme challenges.  \n  \nElegantly reported by a spectacularly original and compassionate thinker, _Far\nfrom the Tree_ explores how people who love each other must struggle to accept\neach other—a theme in every family’s life. ...more\n\n",

Gay Awareness Week was\nbeginning at the University of Wyoming, and the keynote speaker was Lesléa\nNewman, discussing her book _Heather Has Two Mommies_. Shaken, the author\naddressed the large audience that gathered, but she remained haunted by\nMatthew’s murder. _October Mourning,_ a novel in verse, is her deeply felt\nresponse to the events of that tragic day. Using her poetic imagination, the\nauthor creates fictitious monologues from various points of view, including\nthe fence Matthew was tied to, the stars that watched over him, the deer that\nkept him company, and Matthew himself. More than a decade later, this stunning\ncycle of sixty-eight poems serves as an illumination for readers too young to\nremember, and as a powerful, enduring tribute to Matthew Shepard’s life.\n...more\n\n",

Sensitive to the myriad ethical and\nreligious arguments beyond the realm of science that swirl around abortion,\nthe authors focus on one crucial question--when does a fetus acquire\nhumanness, that quality that sets us apart from all other living things. While\nhumans are linked via cell structure and cell chemistry with all life on our\nplanet--from monkeys to fruit flys to pumpkins--it is the human brain\nstructure which makes us who we are. Reviewing the latest advances in\nmolecular biology, evolutionary biology, embryology, neurophysiology, and\nneonatology--fields that all bear on this question--the authors reveal a\nsurprising consensus of scientific opinion; that humanness begins around the\ntwenty-forth week of gestation when connections needed for brain function are\nfinally made. A fascinating inquiry, moving across various scientific\ndisciplines, _The Facts of Life_ makes a valuable contribution to the\ncontinuing abortion controversy, and offers a fascinating glimpse of what\nmakes us uniquely human.  \n...more\n\n",
