Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Uncovers how Chicago's kitchenette apartments shaped housing, race, and urban life in the twentieth centuryDuring the twentieth century's Great Migration, kitchenette apartments served as the primary homes for Black migrants to Chicago. These small one- and two-room units were often illegally… converted from larger apartments and were concentrated on the city's densely populated, segregated South Side. Typically featuring a communal hallway bathroom, a cooktop tucked into a closet, chronic overcrowding, and exploitative rents, kitchenettes gained widespread fame and notoriety in news reports, housing code campaigns, and the works of celebrated Black artists including Gwendolyn Brooks, Lorraine Hansberry, and Richard Wright. They also preceded and paved the way for Chicago's notorious public housing projects.A Kitchenette to Fit Your Needs offers the first book-length cultural analysis of the kitchenette within Chicago's history of housing, race, and urban life. Both materially and symbolically significant, the kitchenette existed at the nexus of the Great Migration and the Great Depression, of housing precarity and domestic innovation, of racial capitalism and racial uplift. Drawing on a rich archive of sources from housing court records and documentary photographs to literature, journalism, and visual art, Amani Morrison reveals how Bronzeville's kitchenettes served residents, landlords, artists, and institutions, accommodating overlapping but often divergent needs.Through her theory of 'Black spatial affordances,' Morrison illuminates how Black Chicagoans transformed constraint into creativity. Blending history, architecture, and cultural analysis, A Kitchenette to Fit Your Needs recasts the kitchenette as central to Chicago's urban modernity and to the making of Black everyday life.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A bold new exploration of Fenian revolutionary activity across the AmericasIn the aftermath of the American Civil War, the Fenian movement stood at a crossroads. Thousands of demobilized Irish soldiers held the power to reshape history. Inspired by a popular desire to expel monarchical and aristocra…tic influence from the New World, many American Fenians began to align their efforts to establish an independent Irish Republic with the wider aims of American republican expansion. In doing so, the Fenians' fight for Irish liberation became more than a single cause. It was a web of alliances, contradictions, and ambitions, carried out under a common banner of republicanism. In The Fenian Empire, Patrick J. Mahoney uncovers the untold story of how Fenianism intersected with race, colonialism, and internationalist solidarity across North America and the Caribbean at a time of intense political turmoil. Fueled by the cause of republican expansion, the period saw the unlikely emergence of Black Fenian volunteers, attempts to land Fenian troops into Mexico and Cuba, and the participation of many Fenians in the subjugation of Native peoples along the western plains of North America. While their views and strategies varied, their aim remained clear: Irish freedom.Drawing on an expansive range of archives and sources across multiple languages, Mahoney delivers a fresh take on the Fenian story, guiding readers through a world of clandestine meetings, personal networks, propaganda, and long-forgotten military operations. What results is a groundbreaking look at how one struggle echoed across the revolutionary landscape of the Civil War era.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Traces earlier revolutions in the history of reading to orient our shift to the digital ageConsidered one of the greatest inventions of human civilization, writing has served as a pathway to culture and education through history. The digital revolution has ushered in a dramatic transformation, leadi…ng to growing concern over the effects and possible detriments of algorithms, information overload, and fake news. In Reading Matters, Joel Halldorf makes the case that in order to navigate the upheavals of the digital age, we must understand prior technical revolutions and the transformations they engendered. He shows how our ways of reading are inseparable from the media we use, and that the decline of deep, attentive reading may be the most serious consequence of our move from page to screen.Originally published in Swedish in 2023, this newly revised volume presents a sweeping history of transformations in reading and writing, tracing precedents in the invention of writing, the shift from clay tablets to papyrus and from scrolls to codices, the advent of printing, and the development of industrial printing. It explores how each new format of writing has encouraged new ways to think, relate, and organize the world. Essentially, it is not only what we read that is important, but how we read.Moving through key historical events including the rise of Christianity, the scientific revolution, and the development of democracy, Halldorf explores how changes in the physical book reflected major cultural and historical shifts of the time. By tracing how new media forms have impacted human attention, authority, and community, the volume equips readers to better understand our own digital habits today. Detailing the riveting cultural history of reading technologies, book revolutions, and cultural upheavals, Reading Matters showcases the massive power of reading, writing, and books in helping us understand who we are.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Shows how trans activists confront the intersections of white supremacy and transphobiaTrans Geographies of Joy charts the stories of trans activists in Atlanta, focusing particularly on people of color, to document how they confront the intersections of white supremacy and transphobia throug…h their organizing. The volume offers insight into the oft-overlooked trans activist scene, particularly as political strategists and the broader news media struggle to make sense of newly-purple states like Georgia.Elias Capello uncovers how trans activists create spaces to help them feel safe in the face of the violence they routinely encounter. He argues that colonialism, white supremacy, and cisnormativity are all connected through shame, designating cisgender bodies as 'safe, secure, and sane.' Cisgender culture masks itself within whiteness to create a narrative of safety that prioritizes cisgender lives, all the while pathologizing, policing, and commodifying trans lives. Yet, as Capello illuminates, trans activists offer alternative narratives of safety, creating spaces of joy outside of cisnormativity's colonial-based shame. The volume details how activists create art, spaces, and communities that help them flourish, illuminating trans pleasure and joy rather than focusing solely on the struggles trans people face.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An incisive examination of progressive faith-based activism and its impact on American public lifeWhile the Religious Right often dominates headlines, the Religious Left has been a persistent and influential force in shaping public policy across a wide spectrum of issues from immigration and climate… change to gun reform, marriage equality, and criminal justice. Despite its lower visibility, its contributions have been substantial, though not always successful.In The Religious Left, Robert Wuthnow offers a compelling analysis of progressive religious activism over the past 25 years. Drawing on policy documents, denominational reports, and public testimony, he highlights the work of key leaders and organizations operating largely behind the scenes. The book places contemporary efforts in historical context, tracing their roots to the Social Gospel movement of the nineteenth century and examining how strategies and priorities have evolved.Through in-depth case studies of nine major issues, Wuthnow assesses the strengths and limitations of the Religious Left's approach to advocacy. He offers thoughtful recommendations for faith leaders and congregations seeking to engage more effectively in progressive activism especially at a time when democracy itself is embattled.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How young Black queer men in Los Angeles reject stigma and stereotypes and instead find pride in their racial and sexual identitiesShameless is an in-depth exploration of the ways that young Black gay men in Los Angeles come together to learn how to navigate racial and sexual stigma in everyday inte…ractions. Based on 4 years of intensive ethnographic fieldwork resulting in observations with over 200 young men in a Los Angeles community health organization, in-depth interviews with self-identified Black queer men, observations with gay kinship families, and media content analysis, Terrell J. A. Winder paints a full picture of the socialization and stigma negotiations of young Black gay men. He explains how traditional strategies like passing and covering can become untenable and ineffective for young Black gay men dealing with multiple stigmas simultaneously, who are looking to experience their identities with a sense of pride, rather than as a source of shame.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Takes up the work of artists and theorists who ask what happens when we learn to linger, dwell, live, and work with queer griefWhat if, instead of overcoming grief, we learned to live with it Unfinished Grief invites readers to linger within loss and to understand mourning not as an endpoint, but as… a mode of relation, continuance, and care.In this lyrical follow-up to his acclaimed After the Party, Joshua Chambers-Letson turns toward the art and theory of grief as a way of imagining queer survival. Drawing from queer of color critique, performance studies, Asian American studies, and Black studies, Chambers-Letson explores how love and loss are inseparable conditions of queer life. Engaging artists including Yoko Ono, Gertrude Stein, Bimbola Akinbola, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Joshua Rains, and Kia LaBeija, he considers the lessons art and performance teach about living with what remains unfinished.Set against the backdrop of public and private catastrophe, from war and pandemics to the ravages of racial capitalism, Unfinished Grief insists that mourning and political struggle are entwined practices. Through sensuous, reflective prose and a deeply personal critical voice, Chambers-Letson reveals how grief can be both a sustaining and shattering site of vulnerability, creativity, and communal becoming. Intimate, meditative, and defiantly alive, Unfinished Grief reflects on the queer art of mourning in this guide to the beautiful, difficult work of staying with loss and finding life within it.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Shows how apocalypticism helped drive anti-slavery abolitionism and inspire progressive social reform in nineteenth-century AmericaIn March 1844, Melissa Botsford of Meriden, Connecticut, defiantly left her local Methodist church because it supported slavery and other 'sins' that permeated America.…Botsford was among one hundred thousand other abolitionists who abandoned their evangelical churches throughout the decade. These protesters came out with a stern apocalyptic warning: God would soon judge Americaand its churchesfor the sins of slavery and race prejudice.It has long been assumed that apocalypticism is antithetical to social reform. Yet in Apocalyptic Abolitionism, Kevin M. Burton uncovers the untold story of how apocalypticism shaped the abolitionist cause and helped destroy slavery in the United States. Contrary to popular opinion, the revival fires of the Second Great Awakening did not drive most evangelicals to progressive social reforms like abolitionism. Neither were the denominational schisms during that period a fight between northern abolitionists and southern slaveholders. Rather, before the Methodist and Baptist denominations split along sectional lines, most abolitionists, particularly members of the Adventist movement, had already left their churches in what was likely the largest mass exodus from mainstream evangelicalism in American history, precisely because most evangelicals opposed radical social reform movements. This volume makes the case that evangelicals receive undeserved credit for antislavery, and that it was apocalyptic abolitionists who led the way.Drawing from rare and overlooked sources to create a database of biographies of nearly 2000 people to track their religious affiliations and activism over time, Burton offers invaluable data to develop a robust framework for understanding apocalypticism, evangelicalism, and social reform politics of the nineteenth century.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Breaks new ground by showing how women in prison and their families interact through prison boundariesAlthough women make up only 7% of the overall prison population in the US, their numbers are rising faster than men's, and yet little research has been done on their lives behind bars. In We All Do…the Time, Holly Foster-Talbot focuses on how incarcerated women maintain connections to their families and communities while inside prison, and shows how these connections foster positive emotions and feelings of belonging with broader society, in line with re-integrative and rehabilitative ideals. She argues that generating inclusive emotions is a vital part of how imprisoned women and their families cope with and survive imprisonment. Focusing on the experiences of over 300 women in minimum-security federal prison, Foster-Talbot demonstrates that women and their families navigate the prison-family interface through two key mechanisms: women's intersectionally linked lives and their intergenerationally linked lives. Among core findings is that Latina and Black women suffer worse self-rated mental health in prison than white women, despite having more supportive family ties. If not for these ties, women's racial and ethnic health disparities in prison would be even greater than they already are. This book also shows how the families and communities hit hardest by mass incarceration are also more heavily affected by resultant caring-related absences when women are incarcerated. Ultimately, Foster-Talbot argues that understanding these important connections behind bars are vital for prison programming and policy.
