What Can We Learn from the Great Depression?

Stories of Ordinary People & Collective Action in Hard Times

By: Dana Frank

Four stories of resilience, mutual aid, and radical rebellion that will transform how we understand the Great Depression Drawing on little-known stories of working people, What Can We Learn from the Great Depression? amplifies voices that have been long omitted from standard histories of the Depression era. In four tales, Professor Dana Frank explores how ordinary working people in the US turned to collective action to meet the crisis of the Great Depression and what we can learn from them today. Readers are introduced to * the 7 daring Black women who worked as wet nurses and staged a sit-down strike to demand better pay and an end to racial discrimination * the groups who used mutual aid, cooperatives, eviction protests, and demands for government relief to meet their basic needs * the million Mexican and Mexican American repatriados who were erased from mainstream historical memory, while (often fictitious) white “Dust Bowl migrants” became enshrined * the Black Legion, a white supremacist fascist organization that saw racism, antisemitism, anti-Catholicism, and fascism as the cure to the Depression While capitalism crashed during the Great Depression, racism did not and was, in fact, wielded by some to blame and oppress their neighbors. Patriarchy persisted, too, undermining the power of social movements and justifying women’s marginalization within them. For other ordinary people, collective action gave them the means to survive and fight against such hostilities. What resulted were powerful new forms of horizontal reciprocity and solidarity that allowed people to provide each other with the bread, beans, and comradeship of daily life. The New Deal, when it arrived, provided vital resources to many, but others were cut off from its full benefits, especially if they were women or people of color. What Can We Learn from the Great Depression? shows us how we might look to the past to think about how we can shape the future of our own failed economy. These lessons can also help us imagine and build movements to challenge such an economy—and to transform the state as a whole—in service to the common good without replicating racism and patriarchy.

Claim Forfeit

Further Tales of Black Simon of Norwich

By: Dana Cavicke

Claim Forfeit contains three newly-written tales of Black Simon of Norwich, Captain of the Men-at-Arms to Sir Nigel Loring - a character originally brought alive by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, better known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Along with a scene-setting prologue, the tales contained within this collection are: - How Black Simon's Heart Darkened - How Black Simon Captained the Men-at-Arms Under William de Bohun at the Battles of Brest & Morlaix During the War of Breton Succession - Black Simon's Captivity at the Hands of La Muette on the Island of Sark. These exciting page-turners of medieval adventure will appeal not only to those who love Conan Doyle’s early work, but fans of historical fiction in general. Author Dana Cavicke successfully combines familiar characters with the spirit of the original novels and a sprinkle of wry humour, giving fans a thoroughly modern reboot to the canon.

The Big Splat, or How Our Moon Came to Be

By: Dana Mackenzie

The first popular book to explain the dramatic theory behind the Moon's genesis This lively science history relates one of the great recent breakthroughs in planetary astronomy-a successful theory of the birth of the Moon. Science journalist Dana Mackenzie traces the evolution of this theory, one little known outside the scientific community: a Mars-sized object collided with Earth some four billion years ago, and the remains of this colossal explosion-the Big Splat-came together to form the Moon. Beginning with notions of the Moon in ancient cosmologies, Mackenzie relates the fascinating history of lunar speculation, moving from Galileo and Kepler to George Darwin (son of Charles) and the Apollo astronauts, whose trips to the lunar surface helped solve one of the most enigmatic mysteries of the night sky: who hung the Moon? Dana Mackenzie (Santa Cruz, CA) is a freelance science journalist. His articles have appeared in such magazines as Science, Discover, American Scientist, The Sciences, and New Scientist.

Finding Rose

By: Dana Becker

In this captivating follow-up to Searching for Rose, author Dana Becker tells the tale of a young woman who finds refuge from a dark past in Pennsylvania Amish country. But as she strives to create a new life, and possibly a new love, she finds her escape from danger has only just begun… In a bucolic cabin in Pennsylvania Amish country, Rose lives with her older sister, April, and brother-in-law, Joseph. It’s a blessedly quiet life, far from the trauma of Rose’s past, a nightmare that began with a mob kidnapping and ended with Rose becoming brainwashed by a cult—until April tracked her down and rescued her. Now, the daily rhythms of Joseph’s Amish community have become part of Rose’s healing process, as has her growing attachment to charismatic, protective Micah. But as Rose struggles to trust again, there are new developments in the search for her kidnapper… As far as Rose is concerned, she’s told the authorities all she knows and she wants, needs, to be left alone. But when the police reveal a shocking new lead in the case, it flips a switch within Rose. Her experiences in captivity triggered a clairvoyant ability—a gift she finds terrifying, but that the police are determined to use in their investigation. Despite her own fears and her family’s wishes, Rose joins the search for a madman. Now she will risk finding out if the ghosts of the past will shut her down forever—or give her new strength and the faith to forge a new future.

Spoils of the Dead

By: Dana Stabenow

Outstanding... Rich in details of Alaskan life, history, and archaeology, this fast-paced mystery builds to a satisfying conclusion. Fans will hope they won't have to wait another eight years for Liam's next outing' Publishers Weekly, Starred Review IT'S A NEW START FOR ALASKA STATE TROOPER LIAM CAMPBELL – BUT THE SAME OLD PROBLEMS. It's Labor Day in Blewestown, Alaska, and it seems most of the town's thirty-five hundred residents have turned out to celebrate. Not Liam Campbell, though. He's been in town for about a week when an archaeologist invites Liam out to his dig site. He's on the verge of a momentous discovery, one he says will be well worth the State Trooper's time. Two days later, the archaeologist is dead, and Liam Campbell is about to learn that he's traded one troubled bush town for another. Praise for Dana Stabenow: 'Cleverly conceived and crisply written thrillers that provide a provocative glimpse of life as it is lived, and justice as it is served, on America's last frontier' San Diego Union-Tribune 'No one writes more vividly about the hardships and rewards of living in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness and the hardy but frequently flawed characters who choose to call it home' Publishers Weekly 'If you have in mind a long trip anywhere, including Alaska, this is the book to put in your backpack' Washington Times

With Access to Tools

Poems

By: Dana Wildsmith

In the same spirit as the iconic The Last Whole Earth Catalog: access to tools, Dana Wildsmith’s With Access to Tools offers a means for navigating a new time of change. Opening with a series of odes to traditional tools, each tool is inextricably bound to the hand and heart of the worker. The book then shifts, as has our world, to cyber tools which work at a physical remove that echoes the pandemic’s societal disruption. The book concludes with persona poems offering a note of hope through the strength of individual cerebral tools.
