Sinopse

"Queer Print Power" explores the vital role LGBTQ+ comic publishing houses play in shaping cultural expression and driving social change. These independent publishers have provided platforms for marginalized voices, challenging mainstream narratives through visual storytelling and expanding the boundaries of comic art. The book reveals how these houses act as incubators of queer culture, fostering representation and impacting social movements. Did you know that these publishing houses have not only promoted diverse identities but have also actively shaped queer history and the evolution of comics?

 
The book progresses across three key sections. It begins by establishing foundational concepts and tracing the historical development of LGBTQ+ comic publishing, from its underground comix roots to its contemporary forms. It then delves into specific publishing houses across different regions, analyzing their unique approaches to content creation, distribution, and community engagement. Case studies illustrate diverse strategies used to overcome challenges and promote their work. Finally, the book synthesizes findings to demonstrate the broader implications for cultural expression, social activism, and the future of the comics industry, considering the impact of digital platforms on queer representation.

 
The book’s unique approach lies in its focus on the publishing houses themselves, offering a broader understanding of the systemic factors that shape LGBTQ+ representation.

Leading While Black - The...

Torrance J. R. Jones

The American workplace exhibits a growing imbalance when it comes to human identity. Leaders are frequently defined in the absence of their critical social identifiers, but the exclusion of these identifiers is a mistake and ignores essential physical, cultural, and spiritual realities. Their exclusion is especially problematic for leaders of the Black identity and the Christian faith. Color-blind ideology harms people of color, while religion-blind systems damage people of faith, and both are especially problematic for individuals who reckon with both realities. 
 
 
 
Rather than abandoning an individual's social identities, the ones we choose and the ones we do not, Leading While Black draws on the lived experiences of executive-level leaders of the Christian faith and Black identity, and offers a testament to the power of a living God in the social fabric of public life. Instead of ignoring the narrative arc of social identities and the weight they carry when considering an individual's conception of leadership, Torrance Jones leans into the value of those identities and asserts their integral importance for Black leaders and for those who work with and for Black voices.

Retaking Kokoda - The Battles...

David W. Cameron

Japanese Major General Horii Tomitarô, commanding the South Seas Force, had the Australians on the back foot. Australia was holding the last defendable ridge in the Owen Stanley ranges, Imita Ridge. Horii to his distress was then given orders from Imperial Headquarters in Tokyo that he was to fall back across the mountains to the Japanese beachheads at Gona, Sanananda, and Buna, leaving a force between Templeton’s Crossing and Eora Creek to stop any Australian advance through the mountains. The Japanese, unknown to the Australians evacuated Ioribaiwa Ridge just before they launched their attacks and to their amazement on storming the heights, the Australians encountered no resistance – the Japanese had gone. 
 
This, however, did not mean the fighting on the Kokoda Track was over, far from it. Three more desperate actions would be fought by the Australians and Japanese, before the decisive battles for the Japanese beachheads could be decided – the battles for Templeton’s Crossing, Eora Creek, and finally the Oivi-Gorari positions on the northern lowland plains. Just 15-kilometres east lay the Kumusi River, the last geographical barrier before reaching the strongly fortified Japanese beachheads themselves.
