One Hundred Facts Every Black Youth Needs To Know

By: Timothy Bibb,Jennifer Bibb

This year as parents to three impressionable minds, we'll never forget the tears and confusion that our first two children came home with after learning their heritage through the school system. Hear us: Its traumatic! We made a vow that our third child wouldn't learn his history through the same lens. We decided he would have something to grab ahold of that will give him pride, compassion, heritage, love and acceptance! It will go beyond just historical facts. It will give him a financial future, mental health accountability, biblical reference and most of all, give him an identity through love not pain. Full of inspirational quotes, this book is not about Civil Rights but exposure and motivation; exposure to facts about money, careers, finances, what love means, even the existence of Africans in the Bible. While giving any young reader the same motivation advantage that knowing yourself and knowing your opportunities offers to anyone".

The Extinction of Irena Rey

By: Jennifer Croft

National Bestseller Named a must read by NPR, People, Vanity Fair, Electric Literature, Nylon, Alta Journal, CrimeReads and Debutiful Named a most anticipated book by Elle, The Millions, Bustle, Lit Hub, Dandelion Chandelier, Zibby Mag, Bookpage, and The Rumpus “Oh my mushrooms, The Extinction of Irena Rey is incredibly strange, savvy, sly and hard to classify. I also couldn't put it down.” -The New York Times, Editors' Choice From the International Booker Prize-winning translator and Women's Prize finalist, an utterly beguiling novel about eight translators and their search for a world-renowned author who goes missing in a primeval Polish forest. Eight translators arrive at a house in a primeval Polish forest on the border of Belarus. It belongs to the world-renowned author Irena Rey, and they are there to translate her magnum opus, Gray Eminence. But within days of their arrival, Irena disappears without a trace. The translators, who hail from eight different countries but share the same reverence for their beloved author, begin to investigate where she may have gone while proceeding with work on her masterpiece. They explore this ancient wooded refuge with its intoxicating slime molds and lichens and study her exotic belongings and layered texts for clues. But doing so reveals secrets-and deceptions-of Irena Rey's that they are utterly unprepared for. Forced to face their differences as they grow increasingly paranoid in this fever dream of isolation and obsession, soon the translators are tangled up in a web of rivalries and desire, threatening not only their work but the fate of their beloved author herself. This hilarious, thought-provoking debut novel is a brilliant examination of art, celebrity, the natural world, and the power of language. It is an unforgettable, unputdownable adventure with a small but global cast of characters shaken by the shocks of love, destruction, and creation in one of Europe's last great wildernesses.

Producer of Controversy

Stanley Kramer, Hollywood Liberalism, and the Cold War

By: Jennifer Frost

With films ranging from High Noon to Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, Stanley Kramer (1913–2001) was one of the most successful and prolific director-producers of his day. But even as critics praised his courage in taking on such issues as nuclear war, racism, fascism, and the battle between science and religion, others condemned his work as “emptily pretentious“ and “hollow, falsely sentimental, overproduced.” Whether Kramer was “one of the great filmmakers of all time” (Kevin Spacey at the Golden Globe Awards) or “one of Hollywood’s worst directors” (preeminent film critic Andrew Sarris in The Village Voice), he had a strong and undeniable influence on American culture during the Cold War. Producer of Controversy is the first book to take a close-up look at Kramer’s career, films, and liberal politics in an effort to explain his contributions and historical significance. Kramer learned filmmaking within the old studio system, but over a career spanning forty years he did much to shape the independent moviemaking that emerged after World War II. Jennifer Frost pays particular attention to four of his key “message movies”—The Defiant Ones, On the Beach, Inherit the Wind, and Judgment at Nuremberg—to show how Kramer’s controversial films opened up public debate about the most important issues of his time—among average filmgoers as well as professional critics, political commentators, and public figures. In this context, she for the first time fully documents the Hollywood Right’s attacks on Kramer in the 1950s; details his resistance to the anticommunist Red Scare and the Hollywood blacklist; exposes his role as a cultural diplomat with the Soviet Union; and reveals his important contribution to the liberal and radical politics of the 1960s. Her book is at once an absorbing work of cultural history and a thoroughgoing reassessment of Stanley Kramer’s place in the pantheon of American filmmakers.

The Geography of Hate

The Great Migration through Small-Town America

By: Jennifer Sdunzik

The uncomfortable truths that shaped small communities in the midwest During the Great Migration, Black Americans sought new lives in midwestern small towns only to confront the pervasive efforts of white residents determined to maintain their area’s preferred cultural and racial identity. Jennifer Sdunzik explores this widespread phenomenon by examining how it played out in one midwestern community. Sdunzik merges state and communal histories, interviews and analyses of population data, and spatial and ethnographic materials to create a rich public history that reclaims Black contributions and history. She also explores the conscious and unconscious white actions that all but erased Black Americans--and the terror and exclusion used against them--from the history of many midwestern communities. An innovative challenge to myth and perceived wisdom, The Geography of Hate reveals the socioeconomic, political, and cultural forces that prevailed in midwestern towns and helps explain the systemic racism and endemic nativism that remain entrenched in American life.

Ecoliberation

Reimagining Resistance and the Green Scare

By: Jennifer D. Grubbs

Disenchanted by indirect forms of protest designed to work within existing systems of corporate and state power, animal and earth liberation activists have turned instead to direct action. In this detailed ethnographic account Jennifer Grubbs takes the reader inside the complicated, intricate world of these powerful and controversial interventions, nuancing the harrowing realities of political repression with the inspiring, clever ways that activists resist. Grubbs draws on her personal experiences within the movement to offer a thoughtful and intersectional analysis. Tracing the strategies of liberationist activists as they grapple with doing activism under extreme repression, Ecoliberation challenges ubiquitous frameworks that position protestors as either good or bad by showing how activists playfully and confrontationally enact radical social change. Nearly a decade in the making, the book looks back at the notorious period of repression called the Green Scare and draws contemporary connections to the creep of fascism under President Donald Trump. In stories that are simultaneously heartbreaking, riddled with tension and contradiction, and inspiring, Grubbs proves that whether or not the revolution is televised, it will be spectacular.

Based on the findings of a multi-year research project, this volume profiles successful community engagement practices at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), and tribal colleges.

In addition to examining organizational structures, curricular approaches, institutional culture, and partnering strategies that support local communities, the book offers a comprehensive self-assessment tool to help campuses evaluate and deepen their own engagement practices.

Another North

By: Jennifer Brice

The pieces in this collection capture the feeling of being buffeted by great gusts of middle-aged longing. What began as one woman's quarrel with Buddhism, especially its doctrine of non-attachment, morphs into a larger question: What's the right way to love a person or a thing? With voluptuous detail and rigorous self-interrogation, Jennifer Brice looks for answers in family lore, personal experience, conversations with friends, and beloved books. The result is a tender, moving, far-reaching--sometimes delightfully funny, sometimes achingly poignant--exploration of the powerful ties that bind us to one another and to the world around us.

Invisible

How You Feel Is Not Who You Are

By: Jennifer Rothschild

Author Jennifer Rothschild has a story for you. It's about an unlikely couple, an unusual courtship, a beautiful wedding, and an illicit affair. Despite this situation, the marriage did not fail. It flourished. Here is the story of Hosea's love for Gomer—a woman who might have disappeared into her transgressions if not for the love of her husband. It's a beautiful illustration of the story of God and Israel. Believe it or not, it's your story too. God chose you and loves you. If you wander off, He will find you. If you are afraid, He will reassure you. If you are broken, He will restore you. If you are ashamed, He will cover you. If you give up on Him, He will not give up on you. No matter where you are, God sees who you are and loves you faithfully. Through the story of Hosea and Gomer, God tenderly reaches out to you and whispers, "My daughter, my name and nature are love. My name makes you lovely. Because I am worthy, I make you worthy. I am here to remind you of who you are. You are never invisible to me.

If We're Being Honest: Silencing the Lies We Tell Ourselves to Live a Life We Love

By: Jennifer Thompson

Do you ever find yourself feeling alone? As if somehow, you're the only person in the world who can't seem to get their life together? Women everywhere struggle with feeling as though we're failing. We shapeshift in and out of our roles as mother, wife, daughter, employee, friend, and volunteer in a desperate attempt to be all and give all... but at what cost? Jennifer Thompson was doing well at fitting the bill of being a working mom and wife, but on the inside, she was screaming. She wrestled with comparison, and focused on her inconsistencies and gaps, instead of her ability to continually show up. She set expectations no one could uphold, only to beat herself up when she couldn't meet them. With yesterday's mascara streaming down her face from a good shower cry, she hit a pivotal crossroad. She could continue down a path of chasing perfection at every turn or she could learn to let go. She could choose to love herself today. She now brings her, "been there done that" stories of her own failures and how accepting herself flaws and all has changed her life...and how it can change yours, too. If We Are Being Honest challenges women everywhere to walk into freedom and peace by rejecting the idea that perfection exists, and instead, honoring and owning who we are at our core to find joy on the other side. Are you ready to get honest?
