  Fantasies of Nina Simone

  Since her death in 2003, Nina Simone has been the subject of an astonishing number of rereleased, remastered, and remixed albums and compilations as well as biographies, films, viral memes, samples, and soundtracks. In Fantasies of Nina Simone, Jordan Alexander Stein examines the space between our collective and individual fantasies about Simone the performer, civil rights activist, and icon, and her own fantasies about herself. Stein outlines how Simone gave voice to personal fantasies through releasing dozens of covers of her white male contemporaries. With her covers of George Harrison, the Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, and others, Simone explored and claimed the power and perspective that come with race and gender privilege. Looking at examples from Simone's four-decade genre-bending career—from songbook standards, jazz, and pop to folk, junkanoo, and reggae—and at her work's many uptakes and afterlives, Stein mobilizes the psychoanalytic concept of fantasy to build a black feminist history with and for this multifaceted performing artist.

  Moving Forward - Life After Trauma

  Your trauma did not mark the end of your life — but it did change the way you move through the world.  
  After trauma, many people are told to “just move on” without being given language, tools, or guidance for what moving forward actually looks like. Moving Forward was written to meet that gap.  
  In this book, Stephanie M. Hutchins, PhD, addresses the questions trauma survivors most often ask once the immediate crisis has passed: How do you live with what happened without being defined by it? How do you handle triggers when they arise? How do you rebuild trust — in yourself and in others? How do you move forward without bypassing the pain or forcing forgiveness?  
  Drawing from her professional background and personal healing journey, Dr. Hutchins offers practical tools and grounded insight for navigating life after trauma. Rather than promising a quick fix, this book helps you understand your responses, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and develop steadier ways of relating to your thoughts, emotions, and memories.  
  Moving Forward is for those who are no longer just surviving, but who are ready to live with greater clarity, self-trust, and choice — even while carrying a past that cannot be undone.

  It Takes Two: A History of the...

  ‘Sometimes, 1+1 = changing the world. Cathy Newman’s witty, warm history on the power of determined couples will make you look at your relationship and wonder, “Could we be doing more this weekend than just going to IKEA?”’ CAITLIN MORAN 
  Throughout history, collaboration has fuelled greatness. From rivals pressuring each other forwards to friends combining their talents, it’s clear: often two heads are better than one. 
  In It Takes Two, Cathy Newman rewrites the history books to expose this strange power of two – the reason Holmes and Watson need to come as a pair, and Apple could not have been started by Steve Jobs alone. Bringing together an extraordinary range of stories from around the world, Newman shows how double acts have relied on each other, how minds have married to usher in miraculous discoveries, and how those we think of as lone geniuses often did not work solo. 
  How did William and Ellen Craft work together to pull off a perilous cross-country escape from slavery? How did the queer artists Marcel Moore and Claude Cahun become icons of the surrealist movement, then heroines of the resistance during WW2? How do today’s most powerful couples – from Beyoncé and Jay-Z to Bill and Melinda Gates – negotiate coupledom and individual achievement in the spotlight? 
  Vibrant, feminist and unexpected, this brilliant history shows the value of friction, obsession, difference and trust when it comes to progress – and retrieves the work of many who have been forgotten, asking why certain collaborators are so often left out of the narrative. 
  Cathy Newman's It Takes Two is a compelling exploration of the social dynamics within relationships, from family ties to marriage. It's a top-rated autobiography that delves into the regional and ethnic nuances of these bonds, making it a must-read for anyone interested in cultural studies. 
  For fans of Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), E. Foley (You Goddess!), Anna Russell (Great Women's Speeches), Deborah Coughlin (Outspoken), and Bill O'Neill (Behind the Curtain of Common Sayings).
