A Small Apocalypse
A gorgeously wrought exploration of what it means to exist in the in-between. In her debut short-story collection A Small Apocalypse, Laura Chow Reeve examines cultural inheritance, hybridity, queerness, and the stickiness of home with an eye for both the uncanny and the realistic: human bodies become reptilian, queer ghosts haunt their friends, a young woman learns to pickle memories, and a theater floods during an apocalyptic movie marathon. The characters in A Small Apocalypse weave in and out of its fourteen stories, confronting their sense of otherness and struggling to find new ways of being and belonging. Heavily steeped in the swampy, feral heat of Florida, these stories venture beyond the problems of constructing an identity to the frontier of characters living their truth in a world that doesn’t yet have a place for them.

Youth Organizing for Reproductive Justice
"Youth Organizing for Reproductive Justice is an accessible and intellectually rich introduction to the topic for scholars, activists, policymakers, reproductive justice organizations, and youth themselves. The book helps us understand how young people's political organizing in the new millennium resists interlocking systems of oppression that limit bodily autonomy and self-determination. This organizing demonstrates a coalitional form of politics grounded in the struggles and worldmaking of youth of color and queer and trans youth. This analysis allows us to see how issues such as the school-to-prison pipeline and transgender youth's access to gender affirming care are reproductive justice issues alongside parental notification abortion laws and support for pregnant and parenting teens. Through case studies, activist spotlights, and organizing 'how-tos,' the youth activism described in this book is a powerful tool for understanding the interconnection of struggles for collective liberation"
