  Get Out is a 2017 horror film directed by Jordan Peele. It follows Chris Washington, a young African American man, who visits the family home of his white girlfriend, Rose.

As the weekend progresses, he begins to uncover unsettling truths about his girlfriend’s family. The film explores themes of racism, privilege, and exploitation, blending social commentary with psychological horror and suspense. It challenges perceptions of race while creating a chilling, tense atmosphere. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Daniel Kaluuya was cast as the lead after impressing Jordan Peele during his audition. Kaluuya performed five takes of a crucial scene where his character has to cry, and each time, a single tear fell at the same moment in each take.” 
    
  “Jordan Peele mentioned that the title of the film is a nod to what he often hears from black audiences when watching horror films: they shout ‘Get out!’ at the screen. In the movie, both Rod and Andre say it to Chris.” 
    
  “The success of Get Out made Jordan Peele the first African-American writer, producer, and director to earn more than $100 million with his debut film.” 
    
  “Chance the Rapper was so impressed by Get Out that he bought out movie tickets at select Chicago theaters so people could watch the film for free. He tweeted about it, saying, ‘Just pull up with an ID and enjoy the movie.’”

  Linda Litteral is a survivor of incest and rape who used art to heal from the destruction to the body and spirit which comes from physical and sexual abuse. In this courageous memoir, Litteral shares the story of her abuse, spanning eight years of incest perpetrated by her grandfather, a rape she experienced in high school, and physical and verbal violence she suffered at the hands of her first husband. She offers an in-depth psychological profile of the effects of abuse, including silence, shame, invisibility, powerlessness, guilt, and difficulties with trust and identity. She also illustrates how the body remembers abuse through symptomatology like dissociation, anxiety, chronic illness, and other post-traumatic stress responses. 
  Yet Litteral has done more than survive her past—she’s found a way to thrive in the present. She generously catalogs all the healing modalities she has experienced in her decades of undoing the destruction of her past, including talk therapy, meditation, yoga, breathwork, Tai Chi, and somatic-based therapies like acupuncture, EMDR, sacral cranial therapy, and Thought Field Therapy. But it’s when Litteral discovers the power of creating and sharing her art that her healing journey begins in earnest. Accompanied by rich full-color images of her art in every chapter, Litteral shares stories about the creation of her pieces, their stunning symbology, and how they aided in her healing journey. Litteral is both an artist and an activist, a fierce champion for survivors, and an unabashed advocate for the healing power of art.

   “A comprehensive examination of the ways in which [the series] uses American cultural memory . . . to shape . . . characters’ developments and the narrative arc.” —Journal of American Culture   From the opening credits that feature a silhouette falling among skyscrapers, Mad Men transcended its role as a series about the Madison Avenue advertising industry to become a modern classic. For seven seasons, Mad Men asked viewers to contemplate the 1960s anew, reassessing the era’s stance on women’s rights, race, war, politics, and family relationships that comprise the American Dream. Set in the mid-twentieth century, the show brought to light how deeply we still are connected to that age. The result is a show that continually asks us to rethink our own families, lives, work, and ethical beliefs as we strive for a better world.In Mad Men: A Cultural History, M. Keith Booker and Bob Batchelor offer an engaging analysis of the series, providing in-depth examinations of its many themes and nostalgic portrayals of the years from Camelot to Vietnam and beyond. Highly regarded cultural scholars and critics, Booker and Batchelor examine the show in its entirety, presenting readers with a deep but accessible exploration of the series, as well as look at its larger meanings and implications. This cultural history perspective reveals Mad Men’s critical importance as a TV series, as well as its role as a tool for helping viewers understand how they are shaped by history and culture. “This homage will appeal to fans and academic readers alike. . . . Recommended.” —Choice  “Offers a stimulating point of view on the role of mass communication products as keys to understanding our society.” —Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly
