  When inclusion into the fold of citizenship is conditioned by a social group's conceit to ritual violence, humiliation, and exploitation, what can anti-citizenship offer us? 
   
    
   
  The Promise of Youth Anti-citizenship argues that Black youth and youth of color have been cast as anti-citizens, disenfranchised from the social, political, and economic mainstream of American life. Instead of asking youth to conform to a larger societal structure undergirded by racial capitalism and antiblackness, the volume's contributors propose that the collective practice of anti-citizenship opens up a liberatory space for youth to challenge the social order. 
   
   
   
  The chapters cover an array of topics, including Black youth in the charter school experiment in post-Katrina New Orleans; racial capitalism, the queering of ethnicity, and the 1980s Salvadoran migration to South Central Los Angeles; the notion of decolonizing classrooms through Palestinian liberation narratives; and more. Through a range of methodological approaches and conceptual interventions, this collection illuminates how youth negotiate and exercise anti-citizenship as forms of either resistance or refusal in response to coercive patriotism, cultural imperialism, and predatory capitalism.

  Devotions for a vacation that’s refreshing in every way.Vacations often give us an opportunity to rest and reflect. However, when our normal routines and habits are suspended, it can be hard to spend time with God.These 30 devotions have been specifically designed to help you to rest in the Lord’s goodness and glory during your time away so that you can return home feeling refreshed spiritually as well as physically.Author John Hindley, who also wrote Serving without Sinking, says this:“I want to help you find rest, peace, joy, hope, and renewed zeal. We go away to be refreshed. Christ is the one who sets his Spirit in our hearts to cause streams of living water to well up within us and flow from us. Sometimes we rest away from Jesus, but how much better to rest with and in him? He is where our true refreshment is found.”You can pick and choose which devotions to read depending on the type of vacation you are on (for example, city break or beach) and there are optional family activities and questions linked to each devotion giving other family members an opportunity to reflect alongside you.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage" by Haruki Murakami tells the story of Tsukuru Tazaki, a man haunted by his sudden and unexplained ostracization from his close group of friends during his college years. The narrative follows Tsukuru's journey to understand the reasons for this rejection, which forces him to confront his identity and his place in the world. The story delves into themes of isolation, the search for self, and the complex nature of human relationships, as Tsukuru revisits his past and seeks closure with his old friends, while also forming new relationships. His journey is as much a search for understanding and acceptance from his old friends as it is a quest to understand his own self. The book explores how the past shapes the present and how individuals cope with the pain of abandonment.

  Interpretation of Dreams The -...

  The Interpretation of Dreams is an 1899 book by Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, in which the author introduces his theory of the unconscious with respect to dream interpretation, and discusses what would later become the theory of the Oedipus complex. Freud revised the book at least eight times and, in the third edition, added an extensive section which treated dream symbolism very literally, following the influence of Wilhelm Stekel. Freud said of this work, "Insight such as this falls to one's lot but once in a lifetime." 
  Dated 1900, the book was first published in an edition of 600 copies, which did not sell out for eight years. The Interpretation of Dreams later gained in popularity, and seven more editions were published in Freud's lifetime. 
  Because of the book's length and complexity, Freud also wrote an abridged version called On Dreams. The original text is widely regarded as one of Freud's most significant works.

  Urban Infrastructure - Planning...

  Urban infrastructure forms the backbone of modern cities, shaping their development and function. It encompasses the essential systems and structures that ensure the smooth operation of urban life, from transportation networks and energy systems to water supply and waste management. The presence of effective infrastructure directly influences a city's ability to grow, innovate, and provide a high quality of life for its residents. In an increasingly urbanized world, the need for robust and efficient urban infrastructure has never been more critical. 
  Defining urban infrastructure is the first step in understanding its importance. At its core, urban infrastructure refers to the fundamental physical and organizational structures needed for a city to function. These include transportation systems like roads, bridges, and railways; utilities such as electricity, water, and sewage; and the telecommunications networks that connect people to one another. In more advanced urban environments, smart technologies, energy-efficient solutions, and waste recycling systems are becoming integral to how cities operate. This broad and diverse range of components forms the lifeblood of cities, supporting both day-to-day operations and long-term growth. 
  The role of urban infrastructure in city development cannot be overstated. Well-planned infrastructure enables cities to support larger populations, fuel economic growth, and adapt to changing environmental conditions. For instance, efficient public transportation systems reduce congestion and pollution while improving access to essential services. Likewise, a reliable energy grid ensures that businesses can operate without disruption, fostering innovation and productivity. As urban populations continue to grow, the demand for sustainable and resilient infrastructure becomes even more pressing.
