  Student Prostitution Online -...

  Eva Clouet

  A student union recently estimated that “40,000 students are now prostitutes in France.” The primary cause is the growing precariousness and high cost of student life. This study, carried out in 2006-2007, is a vivid description of the novelty of this form of prostitution. It is practiced discreetly, occasionally, independently, via the Internet, mainly by young female students who call themselves “escorts.”
  The book’s findings are twofold. While student prostitution is first and foremost linked to a precarious economic situation and low-income parents, it can sometimes be experienced as a means of emancipating oneself from a framed sexuality, from a life that’s too smooth, or of taking “revenge” on the myth of Prince Charming. Also, this type of prostitution differs from so-called “traditional” prostitution—selection of clients, “friendly” atmosphere, socialization through generational and social class differences.
  The fact remains that for these students, the “choice” of becoming a prostitute is dependent on a series of social and representative breakdowns, frequently linked to the power of money, the attraction of certain material signs of wealth, and also to a double domination: masculine and socio-economic.

  An engaging examination of Black Girl Magic and its significance in American literature 
   
   
   
  In Light and Legacies, author Janaka Bowman Lewis examines Black girlhood in American literature from the mid-twentieth century to the present. The representation of Black girlhood in contemporary literature has long remained underexplored. Through this literary history of "Black Girl Magic," Lewis offers one of the first studies in this rapidly growing field of study. Light and Legacies poignantly showcases the activist dimensions of creative literature through work by women writers such as Toni Morrison and Toni Cade. As vectors of protest, these stories reflect historical events while also creating an enduring space of liberation and expression. The book provides didactic and reflective portrayals of the Black experience—an experience that has long been misunderstood. In a work both enlightening and personal, Lewis brilliantly weaves accounts of her own journey together with the liberating stories that shaped her and so many others.

  Habit Forming - Drug Addiction...

  Habitual drug use in the United States is at least as old as the nation itself. Habit Forming traces the history of unregulated drug use and dependency before 1914, when the Harrison Narcotic Tax Act limited sales of opiates and cocaine under US law. Many Americans used opiates and other drugs medically and became addicted. Some tried Hasheesh Candy, injected morphine, or visited opium dens, but neither use nor addiction was linked to crime, due to the dearth of restrictive laws. After the Civil War, American presses published extensively about domestic addiction. Later in the nineteenth century, many used cocaine and heroin as medicine. As addiction became a major public health issue, commentators typically sympathized with white, middle-class drug users, while criticizing such use by poor or working-class people and people of color. When habituation was associated with middle-class morphine users, few advocated for restricted drug access. By the 1910s, as use was increasingly associated with poor young men, support for regulations increased. In outlawing users' access to habit-forming drugs at the national level, a public health problem became a larger legal and social problem, one with an enduring influence on American drug laws and their enforcement.

  It’s about humanity. 
  In Mars, We Coming, the journey to another planet becomes something more than just science fiction or tech speculation — it becomes a mirror. A deeply personal, thought-provoking, first-person exploration of what it really means to leave Earth… and still be us. 
  From the silence of that first step on Martian soil to the invisible battles of the human mind in isolation, this book explores the dreams, fears, and fragile truths behind humanity’s greatest leap. It doesn’t just ask if we can go to Mars — it asks who we become if we do. 
  Thoughtful. Emotional. Raw. 
  Perfect for dreamers, futurists, and anyone wondering what’s next for our species.
