Stella Bain : a novel / by Shreve, Anita.;
"An epic story, set against the backdrop of World War I, from bestselling author Anita Shreve. When an American woman, Stella Bain, is found suffering from severe shell shock in an exclusive garden in London, surgeon August Bridge and his wife selflessly agree to take her in. A gesture of goodwill turns into something more as Bridge quickly develops a clinical interest in his houseguest. Stella had been working as a nurse's aide near the front, but she can't remember anything prior to four months earlier when she was found wounded on a French battlefield. In a narrative that takes us from London to America and back again, Shreve has created an engrossing and wrenching tale about love and the meaning of memory, set against the haunting backdrop of a war that destroyed an entire generation."--Provided by publisher.

Uncomfortable conversations with a Jew / by Acho, Emmanuel,author.; Tishby, Noa,1977-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."For Emmanuel Acho and Noa Tishby no question about Jews is off-limits. They go there. They cover Jews and money. Jews and power. Jews and privilege. Jews and white privilege. The Black and Jewish struggle. Emmanuel asks, "Did Jews kill Jesus?" To which Noa responds, "Why are Jewish people history's favorite scapegoat?" They look at Judaism itself: Is it a religion, culture, a peoplehood, or a race? They discuss whether Jews are white. They poke at whether you're antisemitic, if you're anti-Zionist? The questions -- and answers -- might make you squirm, but together, they explain the tropes and catalysts of antisemitism in America today. This book is a lexicon for a fraught cultural moment. The topics are complicated and Acho and Tishby bring vastly different perspectives. Tishby is an outspoken Israeli American. Acho is a mild-mannered son of a Nigerian American pastor. But they share a superpower: an uncanny ability to make complicated ideas easy to understand so anyone can follow the straight line from the past to our immediate moment -- and then see around corners. Acho and Tishby are united by the core beliefs that the only way out is through and that hatred toward one group is never isolated: if you see the smoke of bigotry in one place, expect that we will all be in the fire"--Dust jacket flap.

Includes bibliographical references and index."Combatting fatphobia and racism to reclaim a space of belonging at the intersection of fat, Black, and female. into three sections--"belonging," "resistance," and "acceptance"--and informed by personal history, community stories, and deep research, Fat Girls in Black Bodies breaks down the myths, stereotypes, tropes, and outright lies we've been sold about race, body size, belonging, and health. Cox's razor-sharp cultural commentary exposes the racist roots of diet culture, healthism, and the ways we erroneously conflate body size with personal responsibility. She explores how to reclaim space and create belonging in a hostile world, pushing back against tired pressures of "going along just to get along," and dismantles the institutionally ingrained myths about race, size, gender, and worth that deny fat Black women their selfhood"--
