Trust Your Increments

How Small, Consistent Steps Can Lead to Massive Success

By: Laura Casselman

From the age of 3, Laura Casselman has always had one goal—to become a Radio City Rockette. So how did her journey with dance lead her to become the CEO of a major tech company? Trust Your Increments depicts the twists and turns of Laura Casselman’s career, from dancing in a one-stoplight southern town and performing on stage in the Christmas Spectacular to entering the boardrooms of NYC and spearheading JVZoo, an industry leader that has been listed on the Inc. 5000 of America’s fastest growing companies four times. Written for professionals seeking to change the trajectory of their own careers, Trust Your Increments aims to show a new generation of business leaders how to get what they want with incremental, easily-applicable steps. Laura Casselman knows the unspoken role of business as an “Old Boy’s Club” and details her honest experiences with male dominated boardrooms, blatant sexism, and wage inequality in the corporate environment. Her insights within Trust Your Increments empower and inspire readers to challenge the status quo and forge ahead as they foster change within the workplace.

Inventing Latinos

A New Story of American Racism

By: Laura E. Gómez

Named One of the Best Books of the Year by NPR An NPR Best Book of the Year, exploring the impact of Latinos’ new collective racial identity on the way Americans understand race, with a new afterword by the author Who are Latinos and where do they fit in America’s racial order? In this “timely and important examination of Latinx identity” (Ms.), Laura E. Gómez, a leading critical race scholar, argues that it is only recently that Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, Central Americans, and others are seeing themselves (and being seen by others) under the banner of a cohesive racial identity. And the catalyst for this emergent identity, she argues, has been the ferocity of anti-Latino racism. In what Booklist calls “an incisive study of history, complex interrogation of racial construction, and sophisticated legal argument,” Gómez “packs a knockout punch” (Publishers Weekly), illuminating for readers the fascinating race-making, unmaking, and re-making processes that Latinos have undergone over time, indelibly changing the way race functions in this country. Building on the “insightful and well-researched” (Kirkus Reviews) material of the original, the paperback features a new afterword in which the author analyzes results of the 2020 Census, providing brilliant, timely insight about how Latinos have come to self-identify.

Eel River Rising

By: Laura Reasoner Jones

Eel River Rising is a touching and compelling story of love, friendship and choices from Laura Reasoner Jones, author of The All-Wise Being. In the 1870s, young Flora Meranda is determined to become a doctor like her father, even though she knows her path will be challenging and strewn with obstacles. Flora's story is told through the eyes of her Midwestern friends and family members, women whose lives touch or are touched by Flora and her dream: her cousin Catharine, a Kansas pioneer whose difficult choices of her own lead her little sister Libbet to self-destruct under the weight of her genius; her older sister Macy, whose Civil War romance colors her days into the 20th century; Flora's mother Anna, who strikes out for the wilderness of northern Indiana to make a place for her and her family; Rosa, a young German immigrant who, with Flora, experiences the Midwest's worst natural disaster ever; Kate, mother to a world-famous composer and songwriter, who carefully guards one of the many secrets of Flora's life; Gem, the "college girl" who captures the heart of Flora's son; Luella, the hateful sister-law; Nona, Flora's best friend who steers Flora through town society; Dorothy, Flora's granddaughter who sees Flora for the heroine she is, and Ida, renowned writer and suffragist who uses Flora's story to inspire other women to fight for their rights. Flora holds secrets from her family and from herself. In doing so, she destroys what she holds most dear. Losing her dream as a young girl makes her finds other ways to serve, but in doing so, defies convention and forces her to work in secret. Eel River Rising spans the 19th and 20th centuries, addressing issues facing women both then and today: access to education, marriage and family roles, and equal rights. Disappointments and new directions for each of the women challenge perceptions of the struggle for equal rights and opportunities. Eel River Rising is a companion to Jones' earlier book The All-Wise Being: A Tale of God and Republicans. The story of Flora's husband Ethan, a Hoosier politician and attorney, the two books complement each other, telling the same story through different eyes. Keywords: History, Sisters, Midwest, Women's Suffrage, Independence, Pioneer, Flood, Medical College, Friendship

Listening to Old Woman Speak

Listening to Old Woman Speak

Natives and alterNatives in Canadian Literature

By: Laura Smyth Groening

Groening argues that what Frantz Fanon terms the "manichean allegory" has shaped European understanding of the New World to such an extent that the image patterns fundamental to the allegory continue to dominate depictions of Native characters. Although a world separated into two categories defined by light and dark, reason and emotion, mind and body, technology and nature, future and past is no longer also characterized as good and evil, revaluing the tropes has not made them disappear. And without their disappearance, good intentions notwithstanding, nonaboriginal Canadian writers will continue to portray Native characters as part of a dead and dying culture. Groening demonstrates that the real issue cannot be about censorship as censorship involves the abrogation of freedom, and the imagination is never truly free.
