Margaret Bonds
"Composer, pianist, teacher, and social-justice activist Margaret Bonds (1913-72) fought against racism, sexism, and economic injustice throughout her career, amassing a portfolio of social-justice compositions unrivalled in eloquence and originality and challenging longstanding barriers between Black and White, male and female, popular and classical. But most of her more than four hundred compositions have remained unknown and her life and work have been consistently viewed through the lens of specious racist and sexist biographical tropes that ultimately have little to do with Bonds as her own world knew her. This book draws on an unprecedently mass of biographical, musical, and other documentary archival evidence to offer a fresh portrait of Margaret Bonds that not only brings to light the numerous groundbreaking activities that led to her success in her lifetime, but also reveals her to have been an activist and creative achiever whose work is as much of our time as it was of her own"--

The Rabbi's Knight
The year is 1290--twilight of the Crusades. War-weary Knight Templar, Jonathan St. Clair, is garrisoned in the port city of Acre and more interested in learning Kabbalah than fighting Moslems. He possesses an ancient scroll with a cryptic inscription, the key to unlocking the secrets of Jerusalem's Temple Mount. But none of the Jewish scholars in Acre can decipher the inscription. And time is running out. Acre will soon come under siege, and the one man able to decipher the scroll's meaning, Rabbi Samuel of Baghdad, has been targeted for assassination. Deep in enemy territory, St. Clair apprentices himself to Rabbi Samuel as they travel to Jerusalem, risking everything to fulfill their shared and sacred destiny as guardians of the Temple Mount.
Producing Women
Producing Women examines the ways femininity is produced through new media. Michele White considers how women are constructed, produce themselves as subjects, form vital production cultures on sites like Etsy, and deploy technological processes to reshape their identities and digital characteristics. She studies the means through which women market traditional female roles, are viewed, and produce and restructure their gendered, raced, eroticized, and sexual identities. Incorporating a range of examples across numerous forms of media—including trash the dress wedding photography, Internet how-to instructions about zombie walk brides, nail polish blogging, DIY crafting, and reborn doll production—Producing Women elucidates women’s production cultures online, and the ways that individuals can critically study and engage with these practices.
