What opportunities are available to young Black people living in these neighborhoods? What are their survival expectations? Who can they look to for support? Lorece V. Edwards offers a thought-provoking and timely account of the day-to-day experience of living in America's neglected neighborhoods.

A bold and timely exploration of antisemitism, identity, and moral purpose. In Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Jew? , Rabbi Raphael Shore confronts the world’s oldest hatred through a strikingly original lens.

Neighbors vacation and travel via exemptions from work. They refer to the exemptions as pensions and the issue them to themselves. They send the bill to you. In the private sector one is not compensated now for work done in the past. Women have a nagging suspicion that they are still limited by hidden arrangements. It is difficult to give these arrangements a name. In The Coverture Arrangement Veil, Chuck Goodness RN uses a lens molded from 30 years at the bedside to remove the veil of obscurity from what narratives cloak.

When Remembering Becomes Optional examines a structural change introduced by artificial intelligence that extends beyond automation or employment. As AI systems increasingly store, retrieve, and interpret information on demand, the conditions that once made memory, knowledge, and historical understanding necessary begin to change. For most of human history, memory functioned as a practical requirement. Knowledge was carried forward because forgetting had consequences. Skills, histories, and frameworks were transmitted through lived experience, repetition, and necessity.

This audiobook highlights how Jesus and the Apostle Paul provided their faith communities with clarity during the cultural mishmash of ideological confusion during their day, while maintaining the ethos, pathos, and logos of the kingdom of God. The hope is, by examining how they confronted the various violent, religiously nationalist, ethnically biased, imperialistic, and corrupt ideologies of their day, that twenty-first century church leaders can develop roadmaps for discipling their faith communities into the salt and light of the world, without them becoming as the world.

As longtime organizer, writer, and high school teacher Jesse Hagopian argues in Teach Truth, what's at stake is the freedom to tell the truth, the ability of students to understand the world they live in, and the preservation of knowledge systems that expose injustice. By exploring the roots and reach of the censorship movement, Hagopian shows how these efforts to suppress truth serve to uphold racial capitalism and silence the histories that threaten entrenched power.
