Sinopse

In the "Greatest Works of Anton Chekhov," readers are invited to explore the rich tapestry of human experience through the masterful lens of one of literature's most celebrated short story writers and playwrights. Chekhov's distinctive literary style, characterized by its psychological depth, keen observation, and subtle irony, encapsulates the nuances of life, particularly within the mundane contexts of Russian society at the turn of the 20th century. This anthology presents a curated selection of his most influential works, shedding light on his ability to capture complex emotions and existential dilemmas with an economy of language that remains unparalleled. The collection serves as a microcosm of Chekhov's thematic preoccupations—human suffering, social dislocation, and the intricate interplay of fate and choice. Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was not only a prolific writer but also a practicing physician, which profoundly influenced his compassionate portrayal of human frailty. Chekhov's experiences in the remote provinces of Russia, coupled with his deep understanding of human psychology, informed his writing and enabled him to convey universal truths about the human condition. His formative years in a society grappling with change imbued his works with a reflective depth that resonates across cultures and epochs. This anthology is highly recommended for both newcomers and seasoned readers of literature, as it showcases Chekhov's unparalleled ability to evoke empathy and challenge perceptions through deceptively simple narratives. Engage with Chekhov's world—where every character carries the weight of their circumstances, inviting reflection on the intricacies of our own lives.

    Love for the Land explores the power and potential of people-place relationships. Through clear and compelling prose, it elevates the virtues of imagination, affection, and fidelity—concepts promoted by farmer-writer Wendell Berry—and shows how they motivate small- and mid-scale farmers to care for the land, even in the face of adversity. Paying particular attention to farmland loss from suburban sprawl, rampant agricultural consolidation, and, for farmers of color, racial injustice, Brooks Lamb reckons with the harsh realities that these farmers face. 
     
     
      
    Drawing from in-depth interviews and hands-on experiences in two changing rural communities, he shares stories and sacrifices from dozens of farmers, local leaders, agricultural service providers, and land conservationists. Lamb's rural roots and farming background enable him to cultivate honest, trusting connections with the farmers he engages, yielding raw and powerful insights. Time and again, compelling evidence reveals that stewardship virtues encourage people to live and act as devoted caretakers. 
     
     
      
    With a refreshing, accessible, and engaging approach, Lamb argues that these resilient and often overlooked farmers show rural and urban people alike a way forward, one that serves people, places, and the planet. That path is rooted in love for the land.

    A groundbreaking look at how a predominantly white faith-based group reset the terms of the fight to integrate US cities. 
     
    The bitterly tangled webs of race and housing in the postwar United States hardly suffer from a lack of scholarly attention. But Tracy K’Meyer’s To Live Peaceably Together delivers something truly new to the field: a lively examination of a predominantly white faith-based group—the Quaker-aligned American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)—that took a unique and ultimately influential approach to cultivating wider acceptance of residential integration. Built upon detailed stories of AFSC activists and the obstacles they encountered in their work in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Richmond, California, To Live Peaceably Together is an engaging and timely account of how the organization allied itself to a cause that demanded constant learning, reassessment, and self-critique. K’Meyer details the spiritual and humanist motivations behind the AFSC, its members’ shifting strategies as they came to better understand structural inequality, and how those strategies were eventually adopted by a variety of other groups. Her fine-grained investigation of the cultural ramifications of housing struggles provides a fresh look at the last seventy years of racial activism.

    Despite reform efforts that have grown in scope and intensity over the last two decades, the machine of American mass incarceration continues to flourish. In this powerful polemic, formerly incarcerated activist, essayist, and organizer Emile Suotonye DeWeaver argues that the root of the problem is white supremacy. 
     
     
     
    During his twenty-one years in prison, DeWeaver covertly organized to pass legislation impacting juveniles in California's criminal legal system; was a culture writer for Easy Street Magazine; and cofounded Prison Renaissance, an organization centering incarcerated voices and incarcerated leadership. DeWeaver draws on these experiences to interrogate the central premise of reform efforts, including prisoner rehabilitation programs, arguing that they demand self-abnegation, entrench white supremacy, and ignore the role of structural oppression. 
     
     
     
    With lucid, urgent prose, DeWeaver intervenes in contemporary debates on criminal justice and racial justice efforts with his eye-opening discussion of the tools we need to end white supremacy—both within and outside the carceral setting. For readers of Mariame Kaba, Susan Burton, and Derecka Purnell, Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine adds a sharp and unique perspective to the growing discourse on racial justice, incarceration, and abolition.
