Synopsis

"Umbrella Weather Shield" explores the fascinating history of the umbrella, tracing its journey from a symbol of power and prestige to a commonplace weather shield. The book examines how the umbrella's design evolved over centuries, adapting to changing weather conditions and aesthetic tastes. Initially, parasols signified status in ancient civilizations, but the Industrial Revolution democratized their production, making them accessible to the masses. The book delves into the umbrella's societal roles and cultural symbolism, revealing how its design and usage reflect evolving social structures and cultural values. For example, regional variations in design and materials showcase diverse cultural influences.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, beginning with early sunshades, moving through the umbrella's adoption in various cultures, and culminating in an analysis of its contemporary role in fashion and art. Through a design-centric lens, the book emphasizes the practical and aesthetic considerations that have shaped the umbrella's form and function. By drawing from historical texts, museum collections, and design archives, "Umbrella Weather Shield" presents a comprehensive account of the umbrella's aesthetic and functional evolution, making it a valuable resource for design enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

  • Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine - Reform White Supremacy and an Abolitionist Future - cover

    Ghost in the Criminal Justice...

    Despite reform efforts that have grown in scope and intensity over the last two decades, the machine of American mass incarceration continues to flourish. In this powerful polemic, formerly incarcerated activist, essayist, and organizer Emile Suotonye DeWeaver argues that the root of the problem is white supremacy. 
     
     
     
    During his twenty-one years in prison, DeWeaver covertly organized to pass legislation impacting juveniles in California's criminal legal system; was a culture writer for Easy Street Magazine; and cofounded Prison Renaissance, an organization centering incarcerated voices and incarcerated leadership. DeWeaver draws on these experiences to interrogate the central premise of reform efforts, including prisoner rehabilitation programs, arguing that they demand self-abnegation, entrench white supremacy, and ignore the role of structural oppression. 
     
     
     
    With lucid, urgent prose, DeWeaver intervenes in contemporary debates on criminal justice and racial justice efforts with his eye-opening discussion of the tools we need to end white supremacy—both within and outside the carceral setting. For readers of Mariame Kaba, Susan Burton, and Derecka Purnell, Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine adds a sharp and unique perspective to the growing discourse on racial justice, incarceration, and abolition.

    Angelica - For Love and Country...

    Few women of the American Revolution have come through 250 years of US history with such clarity and color as Angelica Schuyler Church. She was Alexander Hamilton's "saucy" sister-in-law, and the heart of Thomas Jefferson's "charming coterie" of artists and salonnières in Paris. Her transatlantic network of important friends spanned the political spectrum of her time and place, and her astute eye and brilliant letters kept them well informed. 
     
     
     
    A woman of great influence in a time of influential women (Catherine the Great and Marie-Antoinette were contemporaries), Angelica was at the red-hot center of American history at its birth: in Boston, when General Burgoyne surrendered to the revolutionaries; in Newport, receiving French troops under the command of her soon-to-be dear friend Marquis de Lafayette; in Yorktown, just after the decisive battle; in Paris and London, helping to determine the standing of the new nation on the world stage. 
     
     
     
    In this enthralling and revealing woman's-eye view of a revolutionary era, Molly Beer breathes vibrant new life into a period usually dominated by masculine themes and often dulled by familiarity. In telling Angelica's story, she illuminates how American women have always plied influence and networks for political ends, including the making of a new nation.
