  Never Meant to Survive -...

  Never Meant to Survive presents a historical, political, and social assessment of anti-black genocide and liberatory struggles that arose to resist it. Based on fine-grained accounts of community life at the street level, Costa Vargas's work presents crucial examples of political resistance and community activism.  By examining two cities linked by common experiences of Blackness, Los Angeles and Rio de Janeiro, this book identifies a prevailing genocidal force that organizes individuals and groups across society. The 1965 and 1992 riots in Los Angeles, the work of the Black Panther Party and favela activists in Brazil, and police brutality in struggles between black communities and the state in both L.A. and Rio de Janeiro all figure importantly in Costa Vargas's compelling account. What emerges from this analysis is a call for the destruction of the conditions that foster the marginalization of black communities and a halt to the internal conflicts between black social groups themselves.

  The oath is broken. The brothers are scattered. As the Han Dynasty's final embers die, the fires of all-out war ignite. 
  The explosive saga continues in Oathsworn Brothers Divided (Chapters 21-40), where alliances shatter and legends are tempered in betrayal. Liú Bèi, the virtuous claimant to the throne, becomes a fugitive, hunted by former allies. The god of war, Guān Yǔ, faces an impossible choice: break his oath or die for his honor, leading to his legendary submission to the ambitious Cáo Cāo. And the tempestuous Zhāng Fēi, drowning in shame and rage, must forge a broken army from the wilderness. 
  Meanwhile, Cáo Cāo’s ruthless genius reaches its zenith. He crushes rivals, consolidates power, and sets his sights on total domination of the north. But a new star rises to challenge him: the young, brilliant strategist Zhūgě Liàng (Crouching Dragon), who emerges from his thatched cottage to weave miracles of tactics and deception. His master plan sets the stage for the most legendary naval battle in history. 
  Navigate the Epic with ease with essential faction overviews, character breakdowns, and chapter summaries that illuminate the complex web of shifting loyalties. Hanyu Pinyin pronunciation (like Zhūgě Liàng, Sūn Quán, Zhōu Yú) deepens your immersion into this foundational tale. 
  The chessboard of China is set. The pieces are in motion. All paths lead to the Yangtze River, where the flames of Red Cliffs await to consume the hopes of empires.

  "The author's message is potent and timely... this is a vital call to reform a broken system." – Publishers Weekly Review, June 2025
  Discover An Inspiring Personal Story of Resilience, Redemption, and Advocacy
  Born into an impoverished community in a two-parent household that later fractured, Terence Lester and his sister were moved from place to place by their mother in a search for safety and stability. Carrying the heavy weight of that early trauma, Lester's path led him to gangs, juvenile delinquency, and even homelessness, at one point living out of his car. He eventually dropped out of high school, another statistic in a system designed to fail him.
  But his journey did not end in despair. Lester returned to school, graduating as a fifth-year senior against all odds. He went on to earn five degrees, including a PhD in public policy.
  A Story of Overcoming Systemic Barriers
  From Dropout to Doctorate is Terence Lester's powerful story of overcoming adversity to becoming a champion for educational equity. Lester shares his own story of resilience through trauma, perseverance through pain, and reliance upon community that led him to where he is today—not to glory in success, but to give back to the community that God used to shape him.
  Connecting his personal struggles to the larger, complex challenges faced by Black children in under-resourced communities, Lester's story brings attention to what must be done to ensure that others facing similar odds have the opportunity to achieve their own dreams.
  In this book, you will discover:
  
  - A compelling personal narrative of overcoming adversity, from homelessness and dropping out of high school to earning a doctorate.
  - In-depth insights into the realities of educational injustice and its impact on Black communities.
  - A thoughtful exploration of how poverty, unjust policies, and the school-to-prison pipeline disrupt lives and perpetuate systemic barriers.
  - An inspiring call for educators, leaders, and advocates to champion educational equity and a more just and inclusive world.
  
  A Call to Invest in a More Just Future
  As you travel with Lester through scenes both painful and hopeful from his early life, you'll see how God can take even the most broken parts of your story and use them for his glory. You'll be inspired to advocacy—to confront educational inequity and inspire change. From Dropout to Doctorate offers a hopeful pathway forward for those ready to reimagine what is possible for marginalized communities.
  Will you be the next one to make an impact?
