Synopsis

In "True Politeness: A Hand-book of Etiquette for Ladies," the anonymous author offers a comprehensive guide to the subtleties of social conduct and decorum designed specifically for women in the 19th century. Emphasizing the interplay between social class and behavior, the book meticulously outlines the expectations of femininity and propriety prevalent in Victorian society. Richly didactic in tone and adorned with practical examples, the text addresses everything from communication to dress, reflecting a literary style that is both instructive and reflective of the broader social norms of its time. The work serves as both a manual and a commentary on the implications of etiquette in reinforcing societal hierarchies and individual identity in a rapidly changing world. The author's anonymity not only invites speculation regarding their identity but also signifies a broader cultural phenomenon where many female voices remained unacknowledged. This subtle evasion of personal authorship allows the text to resonate more universally with its intended audience, many of whom would have been navigating the complexities of their roles as women in an increasingly modern society. It reveals a keen awareness of the challenges faced by women in asserting their status and dignity. "True Politeness" is an essential read for those interested in the evolution of social customs and gender roles. Its insights into the intricate dance of etiquette not only elucidate the norms of the past but also provide valuable lessons for contemporary readers seeking to understand the enduring significance of civility in social interactions. This book is an indispensable resource for history enthusiasts, cultural scholars, and anyone interested in the nuances of social engagement.

    An eye-opening analysis of collegiate activism and its effects on the divisions in contemporary American politics.  
     
    The past six years have been marked by a contentious political atmosphere that has touched every arena of public life, including higher education. Though most college campuses are considered ideologically progressive, how can it be that the right has been so successful in mobilizing young people even in these environments? 
     
    As Amy J. Binder and Jeffrey L. Kidder show in this surprising analysis of the relationship between political activism on college campuses and the broader US political landscape, while liberal students often outnumber conservatives on college campuses, liberal campus organizing remains removed from national institutions that effectively engage students after graduation. And though they are usually in the minority, conservative student groups have strong ties to national right-leaning organizations, which provide funds and expertise, as well as job opportunities and avenues for involvement after graduation. Though the left is more prominent on campus, the right has built a much more effective system for mobilizing ongoing engagement. What’s more, the conservative college ecosystem has worked to increase the number of political provocations on campus and lower the public’s trust in higher education. 
      
    In analyzing collegiate activism from the left, right, and center, The Channels of Student Activism shows exactly how politically engaged college students are channeled into two distinct forms of mobilization and why that has profound consequences for the future of American politics.

    How Black women celebrate their natural hair and uproot racialized beauty standards 
     
     
     
    Hair is not simply a biological feature; it's a canvas for expression. Hair can be cut, colored, dyed, covered, gelled, waxed, plucked, lasered, dreadlocked, braided, and relaxed. Yet, its significance extends beyond mere aesthetics. Hair can carry profound moral, spiritual, and cultural connotations, serving as a reflection of one's beliefs, heritage, and even political stance. In Natural, Chelsea Mary Elise Johnson delves into the complex world surrounding Black women's hair, and offers a firsthand look into the kitchens, beauty shops, conventions, and blogs that make up the twenty-first century natural hair movement, the latest evolution in Black beauty politics. 
     
     
     
    Johnson shares her own hair story and amplifies the voices of women across the globe who, after years of chemically relaxing their hair, return to a "natural" style. Johnson describes how many women initially transition to natural hair out of curiosity or as a wellness practice but come to view their choice as political upon confronting personal insecurities and social stigma, both within and outside of the Black community. She also investigates "natural hair entrepreneurs," who use their knowledge to create lucrative and socially transformative haircare ventures.

    "The Zorg remains a book of great importance and one that will likely become a classic. It takes a respected place within a growing historical literature about the slave ship in generaL…a potent exposé of the ancient clash between humanity and property.”—The New York Times Book ReviewFrom Pulitzer finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Cobalt Red: A notorious slave ship incident that led to the abolition of slavery in the UK and sparked the US abolitionist movement. This program is read by Dion Graham, narrator of over 300 audiobooks and an AudioFile Golden Voice. Dion has won multiple Earphones and Audie Awards.In late October 1780, a slave ship set sail from the Netherlands, bound for Africa’s Windward and Gold Coasts, where it would take on its human cargo. The Zorg (a Dutch word meaning “care”) was one of thousands of such ships, but the harrowing events that ensued on its doomed journey were unique.After reaching Africa, the Zorg was captured by a privateer and came under British command. With a new captain and crew, the ship was crammed with 442 slaves and departed in 1781 for Jamaica. But a series of unpredictable weather events and mistakes in navigation left the ship drastically off course and running out of water. So a proposition was put forth: Save the crew and the most valuable of the slaves—by throwing dozens of people, starting with women and children, overboard.What followed was a fascinating legal drama in England’s highest court that turned the brutal calculus of slavery into front-page news. The case of the Zorg catapulted the nascent anti-slavery movement from a minor evangelical cause to one of the most consequential moral campaigns in history—sparking the abolitionist movement in both England and the young United StatesSiddharth Kara utilizes primary-source research, gripping storytelling, and painstaking investigation to uncover the Zorg’s journey, the lives and fates of the slaves on board, and the mysterious identity of the abolitionist who finally revealed the truth of what happened on the ship.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press
