  On the fraught bonds between daughters and their fathers, women, and the patriarchy 
   
   
   
  In this beguiling, incisive book, critically acclaimed writer Katherine Angel examines the place of fathers in contemporary culture with her characteristic mix of boldness and nuance, asking how the mixture of love and hatred we feel toward our fathers—and patriarchal father figures—can be turned into a relationship that is generative rather than destructive. 
   
   
   
  Moving deftly between psychoanalysis from Freud to Winnicott, cultural visions of fathering from King Lear to Ivanka Trump, and issues from incest to MeToo, Angel probes the fraught bond of daughters and fathers, women and the patriarchal regime. What, she asks, is this discomfiting space of love and hate—and how are we to reckon with both fealty and rebellion? 
   
   
   
  As in her earlier book Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again, Angel proves herself to be one of the most perceptive feminist writers at work today.

  Inhabitants of Medellín, Colombia, suffered from the war-like violence perpetrated by drug cartels and other actors in the 1980s and 1990s. Thousands died, including innocent civilians, judges, and journalists, many more were injured and suffered psychological trauma. Three decades later, however, transnational media companies such as Netflix have transformed the traumatic memories into entertainment while the main perpetrator, Pablo Escobar, became a 
  recognizable brand name. 
   
   
   
  Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism: Profiting from Pablo documents the story of violence inflicted on Medellín, and critically examines the status of its victims. Drawing on unique empirical material, the book addresses the impact of commercial exploitation of the city's violent past on the victims of mass drug violence and on the present nature of the city. 
   
    
   
  Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism offers a poignant critique of the role of the global market economy in the unequal distribution of narrative power among those engaged in processes of collective memory construction. A thoroughly compelling listen, this volume will appeal internationally to academics in criminology and victimology, as well as those interested in critical perspectives on Netflix, commercialism, and Colombian history.

  "Young, gifted and black,/ Open your heart to what I mean . . ." 
   
   
   
  Nina Simone's popular anthem from the civil rights movement speaks to both the celebrations and trials of the Black experience. 
   
   
   
  Young, Gifted, and Black gives voice to the real-life stories of Black millennials and younger adults. If life was a race, it's assumed that every runner has a fair shot at winning. However, it's not always the case for young, gifted, and Black folks. Sheila Wise Rowe goes beyond the common narrative that focuses solely on their success or struggle. Her stories of celebration and lament point toward hope, joy, and healing. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from her years of experience in counseling trauma and abuse survivors, she provides stories, reflections, and tools for Black listeners of all ages and their allies. These stories offer an opportunity to explore, reflect, and journey toward healing from the barriers that affect their lives, the lives of their children, and their communities.

  Can the mind not be a slave to knowledge? - 21 July 1974 
  • When consciousness invents a super-consciousness is it a part of thought aware of the past? 
  • Is there a part of the brain which has not been touched by the known? 
  • Is it our education to escape from ‘what is’ through ideals? 
  • Has the mind been trained to operate and function in the field of the known? 
  • Observing the movement of thought and its source, can one come upon some 
  thing beyond thought? 
  • Is time required to see the reality and non-reality of knowledge? 
  Questions from the audience followed the talk.
