Starkly exposing the rampant shaming and policing around how Black people eat, Williams-Forson contemplates food's role in cultural transmission, belonging, homemaking, and survival. Black people's relationships to food have historically been connected to extreme forms of control and scarcity—as well as to stunning creativity and ingenuity. In advancing dialogue about eating and race, this book urges us to think and talk about food in new ways in order to improve American society on both personal and structural levels.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"LongLeaf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40071265386577,"sku":"9781469668451","price":23.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2005\/products\/EatingWhileBlack8.16.jpg?v=1668823869"},{"product_id":"not-a-nation-of-immigrants-settler-colonialism-white-supremacy-and-a-history-of-erasure-and-exclusion-by-by-roxanne-dunbar-ortiz","title":"Not \"A Nation of Immigrants\" SETTLER COLONIALISM, WHITE SUPREMACY, AND A HISTORY OF ERASURE AND EXCLUSION by By Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-about 9780807055588 isbn-related seemoreenable show\" id=\"seemore-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height-fold=\"377\" target-height=\"721.219\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"slot-header\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eABOUT\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNOT “A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS”\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDebunks the pervasive and self-congratulatory myth that our country is proudly founded by and for immigrants, and urges readers to embrace a more complex and honest history of the United States\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhether in political debates or discussions about immigration around the kitchen table, many Americans, regardless of party affiliation, will say proudly that we are a nation of immigrants.

Glaude Jr.’s impassioned response. Part manifesto, part history, part memoir, it argues that we live in a country founded on a “value gap”—with white lives valued more than others—that still distorts our politics today. Whether discussing why all Americans have racial habits that reinforce inequality, why black politics based on the civil-rights era have reached a dead end, or why only remaking democracy from the ground up can bring real change, Glaude crystallizes the untenable position of black America–and offers thoughts on a better way forward.

In The Big We, Hali Lee argues that the future of philanthropy belongs to community action, specifically giving circles―groups of people who come together to pool their resources to make positive change.

As one of the exciting new faces of the American Labor Movement, Jaz Brisack argues that while workers often organize when their place of work is toxic, it’s equally important to organize when you love your job. Here, Brisack delivers practical advice on how workers can and should stand up for their rights, especially when electoral politics seem to have failed us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith an accessible tone, a deep love of labor history, and profound empathy, Brisack puts recent efforts into the context of Americans’ long tradition of organizing. In the process, they show us that we, too, can improve our workplaces, from how to educate ourselves and our colleagues, to what backlash to expect and how to fight it, to what victory looks like even if the union doesn’t necessarily win.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA “fascinating insider account” (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e),\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erichly detailed, and with never-before-reported scenes, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eGet on the Job and Organize\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis a bold and galvanizing call to fight for the workplaces we deserve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51687516045628,"sku":"9781668080795","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2005\/files\/61Dl7G-TehL._SL1500.jpg?v=1755193760"},{"product_id":"intangibles-unlocking-the-science-and-soul-of-team-chemistry","title":"Intangibles: Unlocking the Science and Soul of Team Chemistry by Joan Ryan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eFrom baseball to biology, an award-winning journalist highlights the power of team chemistry in this \"terrific\" data-driven investigation of human relationships (Billie Jean King).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eDoes team chemistry actually exist?

Most masked Autistic individuals struggle for decades before discovering who they truly are.

These protests, and others like them in cities across the country, resulted in the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement. Now, in his first book, Mckesson lays down the intellectual, pragmatic, and political framework for a new liberation movement. Continuing a conversation about activism, resistance, and justice that embraces our nation's complex history, he dissects how deliberate oppression persists, how racial injustice strips our lives of promise, and how technology has added a new dimension to mass action and social change. He argues that our best efforts to combat injustice have been stunted by the belief that racism's wounds are history, and suggests that intellectual purity has curtailed optimistic realism.

A poet and actress who had done occasional poetry workshops at the correctional facility, Peterson was ill-prepared for a full-time stint teaching a full GED curriculum program for the incarcerated youth. For the first time faced with full days teaching the rambunctious, hyper, and fragile adolescent inmates, \"Ms. P\" comes to understand the essence of her predominantly Black and Latino students as she attempts not only to educate them, but to instill them with a sense of self-worth long stripped from their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I have quite a spirited group of drama kings, court jesters, flyboy gangsters, tricksters, and wannabe pimps all in my charge, all up in my face, to educate,\" Peterson discovers. \"Corralling this motley crew of bad-news bears to do any lesson is like running boot camp for hyperactive gremlins. I have to be consistent, alert, firm, witty, fearless, and demanding, and most important, I have to have strong command of the subject I'm teaching.\" Discipline is always a challenge, with the students spouting street-infused backtalk and often bouncing off the walls with pent-up testosterone.

She encourages them to explore and express their true feelings by writing their own poems and essays. When the boys push her buttons (on an almost daily basis) she pushes back, demanding that they meet not only her expectations or the standards of the curriculum, but set expectations for themselves-something most of them have never before been asked to do.
