Sinopsis

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin (1771-1790) is the name given to the unfinished autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, one of the most influential founding fathers of the United States of America. Unpublished during his lifetime, the first edition of 1791 was in French and based on an imperfect transcription. Franklin's grandson then published the book in English in 1818, but not only did he miss a portion, but he also made revisions to his grandfather's work. Finally, in 1868, John Bigelow acquired the original manuscript and published the first accurate version, on which this edition is based. Throughout his life, Franklin was not only a politician, but also a printer, scientist and inventor.

    Collecting over twenty-five essays written by more than twenty California Indian authors, Know We Are Here surveys many of the ways California's Indigenous communities are resisting the legacies of genocide. Focusing on the particular histories, challenges, and dynamics of life in Native California—which are often very different from elsewhere in the United States—the book collects essays from writers across the state. It encompasses the perspectives of both elders and the rising generation, and the contributors include activists, academics, students, memoirists, and tribal leaders. The collection examines histories of resistance to colonialism in California, the reclaiming of cultures and languages, the connection of place and nature to wellness in tribal communities, efforts to overhaul the racist presentation of California Indians in classrooms and popular culture, and the meanings of solidarity in Native California. Unifying the book is an introduction by Terria Smith (Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians), editor of the renowned and long-running magazine News from Native California. This book is an indispensable resource for California Indian listeners, educators of all levels in California, and students in Native studies courses nationally.

    My Walk With God

    "My Walk With God" by Timothy Trivett fearlessly records the rugged venture of struggle, where pain advances into every life, leaving no one untouched by its distinct states – be it physical suffering or the quiet, unseen ache of the soul. It points out the isolating essence of loneliness, where one can be surrounded by people yet feel utterly alone, and the disorienting sensation of being lost, walking through life without a clear direction. This book addresses the reality of human struggle. It acknowledges that no one is exempt from life's burdens. Yet, amidst this rawness, a way forward arises, a light, even in the shadiest of areas, as the author undergoes personal battles with addiction, the shattering loss of a brother, and the complications of a family in crisis. Ultimately, Trivett attests to the power of conviction. He depicts how living by faith is not a singular event but a constant, ongoing method. It is a daily choice to embrace 'God's law' over the momentary promises of the world. Moreover, it's a journey characterized by moments of surrender and the realization that redemption is always possible, even in brokenness.

    Growing up mixed race and queer in the north of Ireland, Katie Goh felt herself at odds with the culture and politics around her. In her teenage years she embarked on a journey to Longyan in the south of China with her father, to better understand her roots. But she did not find the easy, digestible answers she hoped for, and returned with only more questions about what it means to live authentically and to make sense of her identity. As she aged, she repeatedly sought ways of navigating this tension, and when her grandmother fell ill – in Malaysia – she ventured again to the land of her ancestors, now in her mid-twenties, to seek this authenticity out anew. But like an orange, cultivated through the vagaries of processes like genetic selection and grafting, she found that simple answers – simple fruit, singular, extractable – were impossible. 
    FOREIGN FRUIT is the author’s endeavor to flesh out these contradictions, to unpeel the layers of personhood; a reflection on identity through the cipher of the metaphorised orange, and as a journey from east-to-west and west-to-east
