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.

Grown woman talk : your guide to getting and staying healthy / by Malone, Sharon,1959-author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."A practical guide to aging and health for women who have felt ignored or marginalized by the medical profession, from a leading Ob/Gyn and expert on menopausal and post-reproductive health. The medical system today is increasingly complicated and impersonal, and unfortunately, it is not going to be less so in the future. The rules of engagement have changed in medicine, but no one has bothered to inform patients. Much is written about Black women and women of color, be it our increased cancer risk, our alarming obesity statistics, or our disproportionate risk of cardiovascular diseases, but very little is written for us, and a diagnosis from Dr. Internet doesn't cut it. Talk about being sick? Dr. Sharon Malone is sick of that. Grown Woman Talk is for all women who have often not been seen or heard. For more than three decades as a practicing Ob/Gyn in the nation's capital and now as chief medical officer of Alloy Women's Health, Dr. Malone has served women across the city all the way to the upper echelons of power. In this book, she gives us the nudge we all need to become effective and efficient advocates in getting the care we deserve. Part medical memoir of the Malone family experience tracing from the Jim Crow South to the highest corridors of power in Washington, part relatable clinical scenarios of women from all walks of life and experiences, and part practical medical and logistical advice, this book is a reliable and easy-to-understand resource. In addition to information on ailments like fibroids, cancer, heart disease, and perimenopause, it also helps us navigate the medical establishment of today with advice on how to choose a doctor, why our family's health history matters, and how to decide among treatments. Combining emerging practices with the latest research the book addresses many women's greatest gap, the one between what they believe and what is actually true. With a combination of medical expertise, up-to-date science, and lived experience, Grown Woman Talk addresses the most common conditions women over forty deal with. And it helps women, especially Black women, identify the power they have and how to use it to chart a path to improve their health outcomes and thrive"--

The first bright thing / by Dawson, J. R.(Omaha teaching artist),author.;

"If you knew how dark tomorrow would be, what would you do with today? ... Rin, to those who know her best--can jump to different moments in time as easily as her wife, Odette, soars from bar to bar on the trapeze. And the circus they lead is a rare home and safe haven for magical misfits and outcasts, known as Sparks. With the world still reeling from World War I, Rin and her troupe--the Circus of the Fantasticals--travel the midwest, offering a single night of enchantment and respite to all who step into their Big Top. But threats come at Rin from all sides. The future holds an impending war that the Sparks can see barrelling toward their show and everyone in it. And Rin's past creeps closer every day, a malevolent shadow she can't fully escape.

Niagara : your guide to the Falls and beyond / by Brown, Ron,1945-author.;

"The first-known European to gaze upon Niagara Falls was a Jesuit priest and explorer named Louis Hennepin in 1688. He took his somewhat exaggerated description of its size and power back to amazed Europeans. From then on, the Falls became a must-see destination for people from around the world and one of Canada's leading tourist attractions. But there is more to the Niagara region than a mighty cataract. There are the world-class hotels and casinos, the Shaw Festival, the wineries, the hydroelectric generators, the natural wonders, the historic sites, and the Welland Canal--an engineering marvel and vital transportation link. This book is the story of the falls and beyond, covering: the geological evolution of the Falls; pioneering development of Ontario's hydroelectric power; Niagara's wine region; Niagara's Indigenous legacy; the War of 1812; Niagara's Black history and heritage; modern hotels and historic hostelries; the Niagara Parkway; bridges across the Niagara River; the gardens of Niagara; hiking trails and conservation areas; casinos, hotels and midway Rides; the Shaw Festival; historic downtown streetscapes; Niagara's historic mansions; lost villages and ghost towns; Niagara's railway legacy, and more"--

Salvage : readings from the wreck / by Brand, Dionne,1953-author.;

Includes bibliographical references."In her first full-length non-fiction since A Map to the Door of No Return, Dionne Brand examines "classic" books from her earlier life, exposing implications both personal and political. A bracing look at reading, life, and what remains in the wreck of empire. "The geopolitics of empire had already prepared me for this ... [the fact that] coloniality constructs outsides and insides -- worlds to be chosen, disturbed, interpreted, and navigated -- in order to live something like a real self." So writes internationally acclaimed poet and novelist Dionne Brand, as she reflects on her early reading, growing up as an avid bookworm in Trinidad and Tobago, and the dawning realization of how the books she devoured, and sometimes loved, also made Black being inanimate. Uniquely and powerfully blending memoir with rigorous and expansive thinking, Brand explores her encounters with colonial, imperialist, and racist tropes in famous and familiar books, looking particularly at the extraordinary implications and modern-day reverberations of stories such as Dafoe's Robinson Crusoe; the ways that practices of reading and writing are shaped by those narrative structures; and the challenges of writing a narrative of Black life that attends to its own expression and consciousness. Much more than a memoir, and much more than a literary examination, this is gripping, revelatory and essential reading by one of our most powerful and brilliant writers."--
