Get Off The Fence
Get OFF the Fence (but be prepared to leave a lot behind). Lot’s destination was pretty well established being that he was chosen to be the traveling buddy to his great uncle, Abraham. Yet he found himself in an unhappy place: on the gate looking out over a city in ruins. Obviously he would not reach his destiny as long as he stayed on the fence, brooding over his “lot” and mourning the outcome of choices he had made. Neither could he make any progress by holding on to the what-ifs and “why me’s.” This book is an invitation to look closely at the situations that occur in our life, which cause us to sit on the fence, refusing to budge in our thinking and concepts of God. Identifying with biblical characters who’ve struggled with this same issue, we can then reflect on ways that we do at times to resist the move of God. Hopefully this will lead us to choose to move on toward our destination as we learn to wholly trust God.

Invisible Weapons
"This book explains how grassroots communities are infiltrated and politically co-opted in ways that render their resistance harmless. It reveals contemporary practices of domination, as powerholding elites - from elected officials to welfare bureaucrats - are teaching oppressed people to internalize their grievances and silence their needs. In the end, politics becomes a space where advocating for social justice makes less and less sense to people. It is therefore explaining the politics of inaction through disengagement from radicalism. It considers multiple sites of resistance to police violence, including the police killing Akai Gurley, Freddie Gray, and Korryn Gaines in particular. It a...

Figures of the Future
An in-depth look at how U.S. Latino advocacy groups are using ethnoracial demographic projections to bring about political change in the present For years, newspaper headlines, partisan speeches, academic research, and even comedy routines have communicated that the United States is undergoing a profound demographic transformation—one that will purportedly change the “face” of the country in a matter of decades. But the so-called browning of America, sociologist Michael Rodríguez-Muñiz contends, has less to do with the complexion of growing populations than with past and present struggles shaping how demographic trends are popularly imagined and experienced. Offering an original and ...
After #Ferguson, After #Baltimore
Drawing primarily on the US #blacklivesmatter movement, contributors to this issue come to terms with the crisis in the meaning of black politics during the post-civil rights era as evidenced in the unknown trajectories of black protests. The authors' timely essays frame black protests and the implications of contemporary police killings of black people as symptomatic of a crisis in black politics within the white limits of liberal democracy. Topics in this issue include the contemporary politics of black rage; the significance of the Ferguson and Baltimore black protests in circumventing formal electoral politics; the ways in which centering the dead black male body draws attention away from other daily forms of racial and gender violence that particularly affect black women; the problem of white nationalisms motivated by a sense of white grievance; the international and decolonial dimensions of black politics; and the relation between white sovereignty and black life politics.
