  "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.

  Democracy Lives in Darkness -...

  Emily Van Duyn

  In Democracy Lives in Darkness, Emily Van Duyn discovers and follows a secret political organization of progressive women in a conservative community in rural Texas. Its members met in secret to protect themselves from retaliation by their conservative neighbors, friends, and family. They discussed immigrant rights, women's reproductive rights, racism, and intolerance of those of different racial/ethnic and cultural backgrounds in their community. Democracy Lives in Darkness is about this group: their daily lives, their choices, and ultimately, their incubation. But it is also about what led them to meet in secret—the political prejudice and hostility that marginalizes and makes people afraid, and the growing political, social, and geographic cleavages that now make even mainstream dissent dangerous. 
   
   
   
  Van Duyn asks why mainstream partisans feel the need to hide their political beliefs from others, why they feel afraid of those from the opposite party, how they stay politically engaged in secret, and how this can transform them and their communities. Van Duyn challenges the assumption that the United States is a liberal democracy where ideas can be expressed freely and publicly. Rather, she suggests that democracy in the United States may exist in darkness, but, more optimistically, that it uses this darkness to move forward.

  The Second World War changed the course of modern history. It is filled with incredible stories of daring risks and exceptional struggles, but these stories are more often than not the stories of men. 
  There is, however, a hidden treasure trove of untold stories of heroic women who have risked their lives in the monumental battle against fascism. 
  We’ve heard of women who became nurses treating soldiers with battlefield injuries, partisans who fought occupying armies, and skilled laborers who worked in wartime industries. 
  But in the shadows, as part of a secret war against the Nazis, women served as intelligence agents who risked their lives to collect and relay information vital to the war effort. Danger lurked at every turn. 
  These courageous women spies worked in secret, but their stories, which are finally coming to light today, offer a significant and unique perspective on the history of World War II. 
  You'll learn the thrilling stories of five high-society ladies (Virginia Hall, Christine Granville, Noor Inayat Khan, Nancy Wake and Aline Griffith) who went behind enemy lines to aid the war effort, what motivated them to take such risks, and how these women heroes of WWII helped shape the course and outcome of the most significant war in modern history. 
  You’ll gain insights into why some high-society ladies chose to give up a life of comfort to fight against global tyranny and live under constant threat of exposure and imprisonment or death. 
  If you’re looking for a unique and enlightening view of the Second World War and are interested in women’s historically overshadowed roles in international espionage, then look no further than Princess, Countess, Socialite, Spy.

  Fundraising - The Best Ways to...

  Fundraising events are designed to generate financial support by offering something in return to donors. Donors contribute not just out of goodwill but with the expectation of receiving a benefit or service in exchange. The nature of this exchange depends on the type of fundraising event organized. 
  For instance, a classic example is the car wash fundraiser, where donors pay for their cars to be cleaned as part of the event. Other popular types of fundraising include benefit dinners, performances, bake sales, auctions, and sporting events. Each of these events provides something of value in return for the contributions received. A contemporary example of this is the televised fundraiser, where celebrities encourage viewers to pledge donations, which are then deposited into designated accounts.

  This program includes a bonus conversation between the author and editor.Volodymyr Zelensky captivated the world when his country was invaded by Russia in February 2022. His appearances were accompanied by countless inspiring statements. But there's a single one that informs Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky: "We are all simple people."Jessie Kanzer sees Zelensky as a Spiritual Leader for Our Times. As a native Russian speaker (like Zelensky himself), she picks up on the deep philosophical ramifications behind his words. Rich and yet easily understood, the life lessons in Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky are accessible and wise, and are more about starting where you are than about war.Kanzer herself has a bit part in Zelensky's life story, acting in one of his movies filmed in the States. She's a self-described "spiritual nerd" who followed Zelensky long before he stood before a blue and yellow backdrop on the national stage. She writes, "What is so incredible about our man Volodymyr is that his belief in himself stems not from seeing himself as special, but from seeing himself as ordinary and from knowing there is great power in this ordinariness."A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press Essentials.
