  In Stories Are Weapons, Annalee Newitz traces the way disinformation, propaganda, and violent threats have evolved from military weapons deployed against foreign adversaries into tools in domestic culture wars. Newitz delves into America's deep-rooted history with psychological operations, beginning with Benjamin Franklin's Revolutionary War–era fake newspaper and nineteenth-century wars on Indigenous nations, and reaching its apotheosis with the Cold War and twenty-first-century influence campaigns online. America's secret weapon has long been coercive storytelling. And there's a reason for that: operatives who shaped modern psychological warfare drew on their experiences as science fiction writers and in the advertising industry. 
   
   
   
  Now, through a weapons-transfer program long unacknowledged, psyops have found their way into the hands of culture warriors, transforming democratic debates into toxic wars over American identity. Newitz zeroes in on conflicts over race and intelligence, school board fights over LGBT students, and campaigns against feminist viewpoints, revealing how, in each case, specific groups of Americans are singled out and treated as enemies of the state. Crucially, Newitz delivers a powerful counternarrative, speaking with the researchers and activists who are outlining a pathway to achieving psychological disarmament and cultural peace.

  Monumental Controversies - Mount...

  Harriet F. Senie

  In recent years the United States has witnessed major controversies surrounding past American presidents, monuments, and sites. Consider Mount Rushmore, which features the heads of the nation’s most revered presidents—George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Is Rushmore a proud national achievement or a symbol of the US theft and desecration of the Lakota Sioux’s sacred land? 
  Is it fair to denigrate George Washington for having owned slaves and Thomas Jefferson for having had a relationship with Sally Hemings, an enslaved woman, to the point of dismissing these men’s accomplishments? 
  Should we retroactively hold Abraham Lincoln accountable for having signed off on the largest single-day mass execution in US history of thirty-eight Dakota men? 
  How do we reckon with Theodore Roosevelt’s legacy? He was criticized for his imperialist policies but praised for his pro-labor antitrust and conservation programs. 
  These charged issues and many others have been plaguing our nation and prompting the removal of Confederate statues and flags amid racial unrest, a national pandemic, and political strife. 
  Noted art historian Harriet F. Senie tackles these pivotal subjects and more in Monumental Controversies. Senie places partisan politics aside as she investigates subjects that have not been adequately covered in classrooms or literature and require substantial reconciliation in order for Americans to come to terms with their history. She shines a spotlight on the complicated facts surrounding these figures, monuments, and sites, enabling us to revisit the flaws of our Founding Fathers and their checkered legacies while still recognizing their enormous importance and influence on the United States of America. 
  Monumental Controversies presents strategies to create an inclusive narrative that honors the varied stakeholders in a democracy—a vital step toward healing the divisiveness that now appears to be a dominant feature of American discourse. 
  As the public and press reconsider the viability of the American experiment in democracy, Senie offers a thoughtful reflection on the complex lives and legacies of the four presidents memorialized on Mount Rushmore. All four presidents faced some of the most contentious times in our history and yet they championed unity, made possible by acknowledging and accepting opposing opinions as a basic premise of democracy. 
  Historians, curators, government officials, academics, and students at all levels will be riveted by this authoritative work.

  Raised in an abusive, violent home, Candice later married a man who broke her bones, bruised her body, berated her, and even had her placed behind bars. She lived in constant fear, trying to survive while raising her two young sons. 
  For years, Candice’s family had told her she was too stupid to attend college. But these six words, spoken by a young woman she’d just met, changed everything: “Why don’t you go to college?” 
  Candice knew education was her only way out. Battling ADHD and dyslexia, she earned her nursing degree while enduring unimaginable abuse, pain, and fear. 
  NOT ONE MORE DAY is a lifeline for those who feel trapped, a source of strength for those fighting their way out, and a tribute to those refusing to give up. With unflinching candor, Candice Morrow recounts the terrifying realities of domestic violence and the immense challenges she faced after leaving her abuser––and celebrates the vibrant career and peaceful life she’s now enjoying.
