  Are You Judging Me Yet? - Poetry...

  Kim Moore

  Five 'lyric essays' exploring the dynamics of performing poetry as a female poet – confronting the implications of being a female on public display, with the connotations of sexual objectification, in a context that traditionally disregards the body. Kim states "With the strides and gains made through the #MeToo movement, I believe the time is right for a book like this to make an impact. As a female poet, I know there is a need for such a book to examine the intersection between writing, performing, feminism and sexism. I wish this book had been written when I first started working as a freelance writer and I've had many conversations with other female poets who have also confirmed my thinking – that female poets are navigating these things regularly, and yet nobody is really writing or talking about them."
  The book draws on her experiences of writing and performing the poems in her second collection All the Men I Never Married. It is a balance of memoir, academic treatise and poetry, though the author's emphasis is on writing in a popular way and making the subject accessible to a wide audience. To achieve this her models have been Maggie Nelson's Bluets, Claudia Rankine's Citizen and Sarah Ahmed's Living a Feminist Life. 
  The book's subjects include heckling at poetry readings and other interactions; problems with the 'male gaze' and what the 'female gaze' might look like in poetry; 'guilty for being a man': how guilt can be useful if it can bring about change; how writing poetry about sexism can shed add meaning to the term; the objectification of men and women, and 'bad faith' arguments.
  Are You Judging Me Yet?, by Kim Moore, is a remarkable collection of essays and poetry that explore, as the tagline suggests, everyday sexism. – neverintimate
  '…Moore's work becomes an even more vital tool in the work being done to challenge everyday sexism. Reading her work is not only a window into her own experiences, but may also act as a means of education, and that's something we all need to see more of.' – Wales Arts Review

  Egyptian Mythology and Religion...

  Egyptian mythology is a vast and intricate belief system that shaped the religious and cultural identity of ancient Egypt for thousands of years. Rooted in a deep connection with nature, the cosmos, and the divine, these myths provided explanations for the creation of the world, the role of gods, and the afterlife. Unlike other mythologies, Egyptian beliefs were not static; they evolved over time, adapting to political changes and regional influences while maintaining core spiritual principles. 
  The origins of Egyptian mythology can be traced back to the early dynastic period, though many of its concepts likely predate written history. Ancient Egyptians believed that the universe emerged from a primordial chaos, giving rise to powerful deities who shaped the world. Myths were recorded on temple walls, tombs, and papyrus scrolls, serving both religious and educational purposes. These stories were not merely symbolic; they were deeply woven into daily life, influencing laws, traditions, and the duties of rulers. 
  The geography of Egypt played a crucial role in shaping its mythology. The Nile River, essential for agriculture and survival, became a central symbol of life and renewal, often associated with gods like Osiris and Hapi. The vast deserts surrounding Egypt were seen as chaotic and dangerous, embodying forces of disorder such as the god Set. The sun’s daily journey across the sky was one of the most significant celestial events, leading to the worship of Ra, the sun god, as a dominant figure in Egyptian religious thought.

  Servants of Allah - African...

  Servants of Allah presents a history of African Muslims, following them from West Africa to the Americas. Although many assume that what Muslim faith they brought with them to the Americas was quickly absorbed into the new Christian milieu, as Sylviane A. Diouf demonstrates in this meticulously researched, groundbreaking volume, Islam flourished during slavery on a large scale. She details how, even while enslaved, many Muslims managed to follow most of the precepts of their religion. Literate, urban, and well-traveled, they drew on their organization, solidarity and the strength of their beliefs to play a major part in the most well-known slave uprisings. But for all their accomplishments and contributions to the history and cultures of the African Diaspora, the Muslims have been largely ignored. Servants of Allah—a Choice 1999 Outstanding Academic Title—illuminates the role of Islam in the lives of both individual practitioners and communities and shows that though the religion did not survive in the Americas in its orthodox form, its mark can be found in certain religions, traditions, and artistic creations of people of African descent. This fifteenth anniversary edition has been updated to include new materials and analysis, a review of developments in the field, and prospects for new research.
