  Exodus from the Alamo - The...

  "Contrary to movie and legend, we now know that the defenders of the Alamo in the war for Texan independence—including Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William B. Travis—did not die under brilliant sunlight, defending their positions against hordes of Mexican infantry. Instead, the Mexicans launched a predawn attack, surmounting the walls in darkness, forcing a wild melee inside the fort before many of its defenders had even awoken. In this book, Dr. Tucker, after deep research into recently discovered Mexican accounts and forensic evidence, informs us that the traditional myth of the Alamo is even more off-base: most of the Alamo’s defenders died in breakouts from the fort, cut down by Santa Anna’s cavalry that was positioned to intercept the escapees. A number of the Alamo’s defenders did hang on inside the fort, fighting back every way they could, but most of the Texans, in two groups, broke out of the fort after the enemy had broken in, and the primary fights took place on the plain outside. Still fighting desperately, the Texans’ retreat was halted by cavalry, and afterward, Mexican lancers plied their trade with charges into the midst of the remaining resisters. Notoriously, Santa Anna burned the bodies of the Texans who had dared stand against him. But as this book proves in thorough detail, the funeral pyres were well outside the fort—where the two separate groups of escapees fell on the plain, rather than in the Alamo itself. "

  "Phenomenal . . . Offers us possibilities for rescuing the concept of democracy from its fatal entanglement with racial, heteropatriarchal capitalism." —Angela Y. Davis 
   
   
   
  "A compelling and inspiring book that belongs in our movements and our classrooms." —Chandra Talpade Mohanty, author of Feminism Without Borders 
   
   
   
  Become Ungovernable is a provocative new work of political thought setting out to reclaim "freedom", "justice", and "democracy", revolutionary ideas that are all too often warped in the interests of capital and the state. Revealing the mirage of mainstream democratic thought and the false promises of liberal political ideologies, H. L. T. Quan offers an alternative approach: an abolition feminism drawing on a kaleidoscope of refusal praxes, and on a deep engagement with the Black Radical Tradition and queer analytics. 
   
   
   
  With each chapter anchored by episodes from the long history of resistance and rebellions against tyranny, Quan calls for us to take up a feminist ethic of living rooted in the principles of radical inclusion, mutuality, and friendship as part of the larger toolkit for confronting fascism, white supremacy, and the neoliberal labor regime.

  Miscarriage is a deeply personal and often painful experience that affects millions of women and families worldwide. Despite its prevalence, it remains a topic shrouded in silence, leaving many to navigate their grief alone. This book aims to provide comfort, understanding, and hope to those who have experienced miscarriage, offering guidance through the emotional and physical healing process.  
    
  For many, the loss of a pregnancy brings a complex mix of emotions—grief, guilt, anger, and even isolation. Society often struggles to acknowledge miscarriage as a significant loss, leading many women to feel as though they must grieve in silence. Friends and family may offer well-meaning but unhelpful advice, leaving those affected feeling misunderstood. It is important to recognize that miscarriage is not just a medical event but an emotional and psychological one as well. The pain of losing a child, even in the early stages of pregnancy, is real and valid.  
    
  While no two experiences are exactly alike, one common thread among those who have suffered miscarriage is the search for meaning and healing. Some find solace in talking about their experience, while others prefer quiet reflection. Many turn to faith, support groups, or counseling to help them process their grief. Regardless of the path taken, healing is possible, and hope can be found even in the darkest moments.
