Synopsis

In "Portugal of the Portuguese," Aubrey F. G. Bell presents a meticulous exploration of Portugal's cultural, historical, and social landscape during a pivotal period. Richly illustrated and infused with Bell's keen observational skills, this work not only delves into the nation's geographical allure but also examines the psyche of its people, standing as a seminal piece within the travel literature of the early 20th century. The author combines vivid prose and an analytical approach, making the narrative both engaging and intellectually stimulating, thus carving out a unique space in the genre dominated by romanticized depictions of foreign lands. Aubrey F. G. Bell, an esteemed scholar and writer, possessed a deep affinity for the Iberian Peninsula, having devoted years to studying its language and history. Born in England, Bell's fascination with Portuguese culture stemmed from his academic pursuits, which led him through various Portuguese-speaking regions. His erudition and firsthand experiences positioned him to provide a nuanced perspective, capturing the essence of Portuguese identity at a time when the nation was experiencing profound changes. Readers with an avid interest in cultural studies, history, and travel narratives will find "Portugal of the Portuguese" indispensable. Bell's multifaceted insights into the country's essence not only enrich the reader's understanding but also foster a deeper appreciation for Portugal's enduring legacy and vibrant present.

    A scholar and activist’s brilliant socio-political examination of Asian Americans who refuse to assimilate and instead build their own belonging on their own terms outside of mainstream American institutions. 
    In this hard-hitting and deeply personal book, a combination of manifesto and memoir, scholar, sociologist, and activist Bianca Mabute-Louie transforms the ways we understand race, class, citizenship, and the concept of assimilation and its impact on Asian American communities from the nineteenth century to present day. 
    UNASSIMILABLE opens with a focus on the San Gabriel Valley (SGV), the first Asian ethnoburb in Los Angeles County and in the nation, where she grew up. A suburban neighborhood with a conspicuous Asian immigrant population, SGV thrives not because of its assimilation into Whiteness, but because of its unapologetic catering to its immigrant community. 
    Mabute-Louie then examines “Predominantly White Institutions With A lot of Asians” and how these institutions shape the racial politics of Asian Americans and Asian internationals, including the fight against affirmative action and the fight for ethnic studies. She moves on to interrogate the role of the religion, showing how the immigrant church is a sanctuary even as it is an extension of colonialism and the American Empire. In the book’s conclusion, Bianca looks to the future, boldly proposing a reconsideration of the term Asian American for a new label that better clarifies who Asians in America are today. 
    UNASSIMILABLE offers a radical vision of Asian American political identity informed by a refusal of Whiteness and collective care for each other. It is a forthright declaration against assimilation and in service of cross-racial, anti-imperialist solidarity and revolutionary politics. Scholarly yet accessible, informative and informed, this book is a major addition to Ethnic Studies and American Studies. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
    Well, this went well, didn't it? So let's just go down the list and visit some more old schoolmates. Luckily, they aren't too hard to find, thanks to the magic of internet porn sites. And isn't it interesting the stuff you can find there? Time to go and get a private shoot with soap. 
    Right. I'm not sure it can get any steamier, but I'm certainly going to try. Which is to say, there's getting served in every hole and quite possibly some smattering of pee play and domination thrown into the mix, just for good measure. And soap.

    The Long Slide (2021) is a collection of magazine articles by Fox News host Tucker Carlson. These articles hold a special place in Carlson’s heart, for they remind him of a time when the country was not so divided and journalism was still open-minded. In fact, he believes that magazines would refuse to print some of these articles if they were offered today. His topics are eclectic, ranging from spud guns to the difficult lives of civilian contractors in Iraq. As a collection, the articles showcase both his adventures and his ideas.
