Holler If You Hear Me, Comic Edition
This graphic memoir of teaching in urban America is a brilliant reimagining of the classic text by Gregory Michie, Holler If You Hear Me: The Education of a Teacher and His Students. Michie is joined by illustrator Ryan Alexander-Tanner and 10 artists—most of them young people of color—to bring a fresh, vibrant energy to the original tale of struggle and hope in the classroom. First published in 1999, the text has become one of the most enduring teacher memoirs of our time. Using comics to tell the story, this edition weaves back and forth, like the original, between Michie’s awakening as a young teacher and the first-person stories of his students. Set in 1990s Chicago, but startlingl...

To Teach
“For those of you pondering the question of whether to teach or not, this book will help you figure out whether teaching is for you.

The Revolt of The Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium
How insurgencies—enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere—have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. In the words of economist and scholar Arnold Kling, Martin Gurri saw it coming. Technology has categorically reversed the information balance of power between the public and the elites who manage the great hierarchical institutions of the industrial age: government, political parties, the media. The Revolt of the Public tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. Originally published in 2014, The Revolt of the Public is now available in an updated edition, which includes an extensive analysis of Donald Trump’s improbable rise to the presidency and the electoral triumphs of Brexit. The book concludes with a speculative look forward, pondering whether the current elite class can bring about a reformation of the democratic process and whether new organizing principles, adapted to a digital world, can arise out of the present political turbulence.
The Interim
From a writer whose work is considered "among the most significant prose and poetry written not just in the GDR but in all of postwar Germany" (Joshua Cohen), a digressive masterwork in the tradition of Heinrich Böll, Imre Kértesz, and Dasa Drndić that interrogates lust, God, statelessness, addiction, capitalism, and above all else the writer's place in "a century of lies."
I Had a Miscarriage
Approximately one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, and one in 100 result in stillbirth. In this half memoir, half manifesto, Zucker documents her mission to break open the silence, stigma, and shame surrounding pregnancy loss. Drawing from Zucker's expertise as a psychologist specializing in reproductive and maternal health, I Had a Miscarriage is a heartbreaking, hopeful book about loss, recovery, and honesty around birthing bodies--an urgent reminder, in these trying times, of the power of speaking openly and truthfully about one's experiences.
Diving In
Inspired by the life and work of Bill Ayers, particularly his advice to "teach into the contradiction', Diving In reflects the intellectual adventures that Ayers has always encouraged those around him to undertake. Written by leading educators and activitsts, the collected chapters within this book are as diverse as the myriad contradictions that teachers encounter in their day-to-day practice and their out-of-class musings. The contributors use themes suggested by Ayer's work to open up new perspectives and discourses on key issues in education, such as education as a human right, participatory democracy, social justice, and liberation. Diving In offers much-needed hope at a time when teachers need it the most.
