She Who Spins the Coils of Creation
"Leslene della-Madre’s book, She Who Spins Creation: Sacred Female Cosmology in the Electric PlasMA Universe, is essential medicine and a much-needed balm for the spirit in these perilous times of toxic masculinity, toxic capitalism, toxic patriarchy, and the perpetuation of the annihilation of women’s wisdom and power (also known as the Inquisition) in which female-embodied existence and wisdom continue to be silenced and every attempt to eradicate us, deny our culture, belittle and erase our knowledge continues to unfold. It is also a master class in how to excavate and reclaim female-embodied experience, wisdom, empowerment, and sovereignty. Della-Madre exposes the misogyny inherent i...
The Future has an Ancient Heart
Feminist cultural historian Lucia Chiavola Birnbaum caps her previous work with The Future has an Ancient Heart, a scholarly study of the transformative legacy of African origins and values of caring, sharing, healing, and vision carried by African migrants throughout the world. Birnbaum focuses on the long endurance of these values from the first human communities in south and central Africa, ones that Africans manifested in the region of the African mediterranean landmass that later separated Africa from Europe and Asia when the ice melted and waters rose. These migrants reached every continent and later became spiritual as well as geograpical migrations back to Africa, from ancient times ...
The Railroad in American Fiction
Nothing better represented the early spirit of American expansion than the railroad. Dominant in daily life as well as in the popular imagination, the railroad appealed strongly to creative writers. For many years, fiction of railroad life and travel was plentiful and varied. As the nineteenth century receded, the railroad's allure faded, as did railroad fiction. Today, it is hard to sense what the railroad once meant to Americans. The fiction of the railroad--often by railroaders themselves--recaptures that sense, and provides valuable insights on American cultural history. This extensively annotated bibliography lists and discusses in 956 entries novels and short stories from the 1840s to ...

Believing in Ourselves
Believing in Ourselves is a book of beautiful photos and compelling essays profiling 35 women who have succeeded in achieving extraordinary personal goals or overcoming significant hardships in their lives. The women profiled are a diverse group, and the details of their success stories vary widely. Yet the stories all share the same fascinating plot twist: Even when faced with major obstacles along the way, each woman made a choice to become the person she wanted to be. These are stories of women who refused to allow their fates to be dictated to them."Womanhood is something you claim and seize, not something you grow into. It's about seizing the opportunity to realize your potential, striving to be the best, and making sacrifices," says Claudia Edwards, executive director of a Fortune 500 foundation, whose high school economics teacher had correctly predicted she'd be "pushing a baby carriage six months after graduation." Stories like Claudia's sound a clarion call for women to triumph over their own challenging times and to fulfill their own visions of themselves. This remarkable book will inspire women of all walks of life.
The Visiting Privilege
'How to tell the story of a 500-page collection of stories spanning more than forty years? Especially when I really want to just exclaim, "Oh, Oh, OH!" in a state of steadily mounting rapture' Geoff Dyer, Observer Williams' uniquely devastating portrayals of modern life have been captivating readers and writers for decades. Here, for the first time, Williams' thirty-three best stories are available in a single volume, together with thirteen new stories that show a writer continuing to mould the form into something strange and new. Bleak but funny, real but surreal, domestic but dangerous, familiar but enigmatic, Joy Williams' stories fray away the fabric at the edge of ordinary experience to...
