  New evidence in Dynamite Nashville uncovers the origin of an organized group of racist terrorists committing nationwide acts of violence against integration efforts in the late 1950's and early 1960s. Award winning historian Betsy Phillips not only paints a detailed picture of the social dynamic of the times, but details how a violent fringe of racists came to national prominence. In Dynamite Nashville, Phillips unmasks the KKK, reveals a racist terrorist network, names its principle leader, and shines a much needed historical spotlight on unsung civil rights hero Z. Alexander Looby. 
   
   
   
  Just as Nashville was where Civil Rights icons began, Nashville is where one of the country's most prominent organizations of racist terrorists formed. Members of The Confederate Underground would participate in least twenty bombings between 1957 and 1963. In Dynamite Nashville, Phillips revisits three unsolved Nashville bombings. Additionally, her research shows how the differing agendas of local police and the FBI allowed these bombers to escape prosecution until decades later, if at all. Dynamite Nashville is a prequel to the racist violence of the 1960s, the story of how these bombers came together to learn how to terrorize communities, and to escape any meaningful justice. It is also the story of how communities and heroes like Z. Alexander Looby pushed back.

  The Impact of Populism - How...

  Populism has become one of the most significant political phenomena of the 21st century, influencing governance on a global scale. The term "populism" has been used to describe a wide range of political movements, parties, and ideologies, but its meaning often remains fluid and context-dependent. At its core, populism is a political approach that seeks to represent the interests of "the people" against a perceived elite or establishment that is seen as corrupt, self-serving, and out of touch with the common citizen. While this core idea is consistent, the ways in which populism is expressed and implemented vary dramatically depending on the political, cultural, and economic context. 
  The roots of populism stretch back to the 19th century, with early movements advocating for the empowerment of ordinary citizens, particularly in agricultural societies. However, the modern manifestation of populism began to take shape in the mid-20th century and accelerated in the 21st century, fueled by growing disillusionment with traditional political elites. The rise of social media, economic inequality, and a globalized world have all contributed to populism's recent resurgence, particularly in Western democracies. 
  Contemporary populism is often characterized by a charismatic leader who claims to speak directly for the people, bypassing traditional political institutions and sometimes challenging the rule of law. These leaders often portray themselves as outsiders, positioned against the political establishment, and frequently use simple, direct rhetoric that resonates with disaffected voters. The populist narrative, which pits the common people against the elite, is one of the most powerful tools in shaping public opinion and driving political discourse.

  A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil. 
   
   
   
  Ossman & Steel's Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, root work, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day "backwoods" healers interested in using them today. 
   
   
   
  The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, sties, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richards's hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.

  Hillbilly Nationalists Urban...

  Some of the most important and little-known activists of the 1960s were poor and working-class radicals. Inspired by the Civil Rights movement, the Black Panthers, and progressive populism, they started to organize significant political struggles against racism and inequality during the 1960s and into the 1970s. 
   
   
    
  Historians of the period have traditionally emphasized the work of white college activists who courageously took to the streets to protest the war in Vietnam and continuing racial inequality. Poor and working-class whites have often been painted as spectators, reactionaries, and, even, racists. But authors James Tracy and Amy Sonnie disprove that narrative. 
   
   
    
  Through over ten years of research, interviewing activists along with unprecedented access to their personal archives, Tracy and Sonnie tell a crucial, untold story of the New Left. Their deeply sourced narrative history shows how poor and working-class individuals from diverse ethnic, rural and urban backgrounds cooperated and drew strength from one another. The groups they founded redefined community organizing, and transformed the lives and communities they touched.
