To discover the true role of Black women in the creation of American, and especially Southern, cuisine, Toni Tipton-Martin has spent years amassing one of the world’s largest private collections of cookbooks published by African-American authors, looking for evidence of their impact on American food, families, and communities and for ways we might use that knowledge to inspire community wellness of every kind. The Jemima Code presents more than 150 Black cookbooks that range from a rare 1827 house servant’s manual to modern classics.

In the last three decades of the 20th century, LGBT Latinas/os faced several forms of discrimination. The greater Latino community did not often accept sexual minorities, and the mainstream LGBT movement expected everyone, regardless of their ethnic and racial background, to adhere to a specific set of priorities so as to accommodate a “unified” agenda. To disrupt the cycle of sexism, racism, and homophobia that they experienced, LGBT Latinas/os organized themselves on local, state, and national levels.

Are women able to achieve anything they set their minds to? In How to Suppress Women’s Writing, award-winning novelist and scholar Joanna Russ lays bare the subtle - and not so subtle - strategies that society uses to ignore, condemn, or belittle women who produce literature. As relevant today as when it was first published in 1983, this book has motivated generations of readers with its powerful feminist critique.

Historicamente construído, o terrorismo é um dos assuntos mais multifacetados da atualidade, com aspectos e implicações política, cultural, religiosa, midiática, social e econômica. A sua compreensão, condição primária para o seu enfrentamento, demanda uma abordagem multi, inter e transdisciplinar capaz de alcançar a complexidade que faz desse problema um dos mais desafiadores da chamada modernidade tardia.

Este não é um audiolivro de respostas, de fórmulas e de resumos explicativos da totalidade. As narrativas apresentadas pelo autor, por meio de ensaios, expressam os valores e as ideias de um ser humano em construção, que olha para esse mundão de equívocos e busca aprimoramento, questionando-se também enquanto homem, pai, cidadão, trabalhador.

In an era of stark racial injustice and decisive action, Aaron Dixon dedicated his life to the struggle for change, founding the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968 at age 19.

Crisi delle ideologie, crisi dei partiti, individualismo sfrenato... Questo è l'ambiente - ben noto - in cui ci muoviamo: una società liquida, dove non sempre è facile trovare una stella polare (anche se è facile trovare tante stelle e stellette). Di questa società troviamo qui i volti più familiari: le maschere della politica, le ossessioni mediatiche di visibilità che tutti (o quasi) sembriamo condividere, la vita simbiotica coi nostri telefonini, la mala educazione. E naturalmente molto altro, che Umberto Eco ha raccontato regolarmente nelle sue "Bustine di Minerva".

"Everyone is female, and everyone hates it." So begins Andrea Long Chu’s genre-defying investigation into sex and lies, desperate artists and reckless politics, the smothering embrace of gender and the punishing force of desire. Drawing inspiration from a forgotten play by Valerie Solanas - the woman who wrote the SCUM Manifesto and shot Andy Warhol - Chu aims her searing wit and surgical intuition at targets ranging from performance art to psychoanalysis, incels to porn, and even feminists like herself.

"Un bambino è curioso. Fa molte domande e si aspetta risposte precise e convincenti. Non bariamo con le domande di un bambino. Mentre mi accompagnava a una protesta contro un disegno di legge sull'immigrazione, mia figlia mi ha chiesto del razzismo. Abbiamo parlato molto. I bambini sono in una posizione migliore di chiunque altro per capire che non nasciamo razzisti ma a volte lo diventiamo. Questo libro, che cerca di rispondere alle domande di mia figlia, è per i bambini che non hanno ancora pregiudizi e vogliono capire meglio la realtà.

Di immigrazione si parla molto, nelle cronache dei giornali e in tv, nei dibattiti pubblici e nelle discussioni private. Eppure molte domande sull'argomento restano ancora senza risposta. Da dove arrivano, e cosa cercano, i migranti che tentano la via del Mediterraneo? Cosa sono, e come si diffondono, le fake news sui flussi migratori? Quali sono i limiti e le responsabilità delle politiche italiane ed europee sull'accoglienza? Che cosa possiamo davvero fare?

The Space Age began just as the struggle for civil rights forced Americans to confront the long and bitter legacy of slavery, discrimination, and violence against African Americans. Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson utilized the space program as an agent for social change, using federal equal employment opportunity laws to open workplaces at NASA and NASA contractors to African Americans while creating thousands of research and technology jobs in the Deep South to ameliorate poverty.

Born on the eve of World War II into a family of Mexican immigrants in El Paso, Antonio C. Márquez remains a child of the border, his life partaking of multiple cultures, countries, and classes. Here he recounts his life story, from childhood memories of movies and baseball and friendship with his Chinese Mexican American neighbor, Manuel Wong, to the turbulent events of his manhood.

Fin dalla sua pubblicazione nel 1975, questo audiolibro di Peter Singer è diventato il riferimento per il movimento animalista. Ha rivelato a milioni di persone le atroci sofferenze che le industrie alimentari e cosmetiche impongono agli animali. Ha convinto intere generazioni che porre fine allo sfruttamento delle altre specie e sperimentare nuovi sistemi di produzione alimentare sia una necessità improrogabile, anche per la sopravvivenza dell'uomo e dell'ambiente.

In today’s chaotic world, where the multiplication of information sources creates competing narratives, credibility is the key to winning the war of ideas. This is the reason why governments and corporations resort to astroturfing - creation of ostensibly grassroots movements set up to advance political agendas and commercial campaigns. The democratization of information and polarization of politics offer a perfect storm.

Baffled by the stereotypes presented by Hollywood and much historical fiction, many other Americans find the contemporary American Indian an enigma. Compounding their confusion is the highly publicized struggle of the contemporary Indian for self-determination, lost land, cultural preservation, and fundamental human rights - a struggle dramatized both by public acts of protest and by precedent-setting legal actions. American Indians, American Justice explores the complexities of the present Indian situation, particularly with regard to legal and political rights.

In una scuola dell'infanzia vengono proposte bambole ai bambini e camion giocattolo alle bambine. In una primaria si parla di famiglie con due papà e due mamme. In una secondaria si realizza un documentario sulle persone transgender: esperienze educative sul tema del genere si stanno moltiplicando nel nostro paese, alimentando accesi dibattiti tra insegnanti, educatori, genitori e amministratori pubblici, oltre che sulla stampa. Ma cosa si intende esattamente per educazione di genere? Quali sono le ragioni dei sostenitori e quelle degli oppositori?

Radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin was a caricature of misandrist extremism in the popular imagination and a polarizing figure within the women's movement, infamous for her antipornography stance and her role in the feminist sex wars of the 1980s. Last Days at Hot Slit brings together selections from Dworkin's work, both fiction and nonfiction, with the aim of putting the contentious positions she's best known for in dialogue with her literary oeuvre. It includes “Goodbye to All This” (1983), a scathing chapter from an unpublished manuscript.
