David Christy

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "African Colonization by the Free Colored People of the United States," David Christy presents a compelling examination of the complex interplay between race, identity, and colonialism in the 19th century. His work, characterized by a direct and persuasive literary style, offers a critical perspective on the movement advocating for the resettlement of free Black Americans to Africa. Christy meticulously documents the socio-political climate of his time, enriched by heartfelt personal narratives and statistical data that collectively illuminate the broader aspirations and struggles of the free colored community. The book serves as both an ideological manifesto and a historical account, reflecting the intricate dilemmas faced by African Americans during an era dominated by slavery and racial prejudice. David Christy, a prominent abolitionist and journalist, emerged from the heart of the abolitionist movement, shaping a deep understanding of the plight of African Americans. His experiences in advocating for social justice and his connections with notable figures in the antislavery society profoundly influenced his writing. This context imbues the narrative with authenticity and urgency, as Christy passionately discusses the hopes and fears intertwined with colonization. This illuminating work is recommended for readers interested in American history, racial dynamics, and colonial studies. Christy's insights challenge contemporary readers to reflect on historical narratives and the complexities of identity and belonging, making it a vital addition to the libraries of scholars and casual readers alike.

Natural - Black Beauty and the...

Chelsea Mary Elise Johnson

How Black women celebrate their natural hair and uproot racialized beauty standards 
 
 
 
Hair is not simply a biological feature; it's a canvas for expression. Hair can be cut, colored, dyed, covered, gelled, waxed, plucked, lasered, dreadlocked, braided, and relaxed. Yet, its significance extends beyond mere aesthetics. Hair can carry profound moral, spiritual, and cultural connotations, serving as a reflection of one's beliefs, heritage, and even political stance. In Natural, Chelsea Mary Elise Johnson delves into the complex world surrounding Black women's hair, and offers a firsthand look into the kitchens, beauty shops, conventions, and blogs that make up the twenty-first century natural hair movement, the latest evolution in Black beauty politics. 
 
 
 
Johnson shares her own hair story and amplifies the voices of women across the globe who, after years of chemically relaxing their hair, return to a "natural" style. Johnson describes how many women initially transition to natural hair out of curiosity or as a wellness practice but come to view their choice as political upon confronting personal insecurities and social stigma, both within and outside of the Black community. She also investigates "natural hair entrepreneurs," who use their knowledge to create lucrative and socially transformative haircare ventures.

Your Right to Self-Identify My...

Kenny Bomer

In today’s world, a new social contagion is being spread by provocateurs and social media influencers who are determined to pressure people into accepting falsehood over truth. Battle lines have been drawn on both sides of the debate regarding “Transgenderism” and the mental health effects of Gender Dysphoria. As the battle rages, First Amendments Rights of Freedom of Speech that protect people’s rights to say unpopular things without government interference, and the right to refuse to say things the government wants said, are being called into question. 
The minority group argues that it is their right to “Self-Identify” as whatever they wish in order to accommodate their thoughts and feelings instead of accepting their bodily realities, thereby defying biological design in the process. In response, the majority fight to maintain their right to disagree with people who psychologists say suffer from mental health issues. Common sense and basic language are being challenged and unfamiliar and innovative words have been invented to define one hundred and twelve genders, as claimed by Transgender Activists. This recent phenomenon leaves society to face many provocative questions. 
Should the thoughts and feelings of one group override another groups desire to rely on truth and biological facts? Who is oppressing whom? For the God-Conscious, what roll does our Creator play in it all?
