  A vibrant new vision of food justice that celebrates Black food and recognizes the power of gathering to create sustainable, systemic change. 
   
  How can we create a world where everyone has enough? We can start by focusing less on lack and more on abundance. 
   
  In Gather, anthropologist Ashanté M. Reese argues for a new vision of food justice that centers the resilience of Black communities and argues that community nourishment deserves as much consideration as individual health. Highlighting four spaces of gathering―gardens, family reunions, repasts, and protests ―Reese offers rich, on–the–ground studies of the places and people who make up the food justice movement. From Black church networks and community farms to student protests, these studies illuminate ways we can challenge structures of power and nourish ourselves, body and soul. In a world of social isolation and unequal food systems, Gather offers a compelling argument for the beauty and political power of togetherness.

  The Indonesian Famine of...

  The conclusion of World War II marked a pivotal turning point in Indonesia’s history. As the Japanese forces surrendered in August 1945, the vacuum left behind in their wake exposed the fragility of colonial and wartime institutions. Indonesia, long under Dutch colonial rule and occupied by Japan since 1942, was suddenly thrust into a state of political and administrative chaos. The power void that followed the Japanese capitulation was quickly filled by nationalist fervor, culminating in the proclamation of Indonesian independence on August 17, 1945. However, the declaration did not result in immediate recognition or control. Instead, the country found itself caught between competing powers and clashing agendas. 
  The collapse of Japanese administrative structures left the newly proclaimed Republic of Indonesia struggling to assert its legitimacy. Republican leaders, including Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, faced the monumental task of organizing a new government while also managing the fallout of war. Meanwhile, Dutch authorities, with Allied support, sought to re-establish their colonial presence. This led to violent confrontations and widespread instability, as various factions—including local militias, former Japanese-trained troops, and returning colonial forces—vied for control over towns, supply routes, and administrative posts. 
  The disintegration of centralized governance had far-reaching consequences. Essential services, including food distribution and public health, were severely disrupted. The chaos was further compounded by a breakdown in communication lines and transportation infrastructure, much of which had been damaged during the war or repurposed by occupying forces. With no clear authority in many regions, local leaders and grassroots organizations were left to manage crises as best they could, often with limited resources and no coordination.

  Our past does not simply disappear. The painful history of our ancestors and their rich cultural wisdom intertwine within us to create the patterns of our future. Even when past trauma remains unspoken or has long been forgotten, it becomes part of us and our children—a legacy of both strength and woundedness that shapes our lives. 
   
   
   
  In this book, Tirzah Firestone brings to life the profound impact of protracted historical trauma through the compelling narratives of Israeli terror victims, Holocaust survivors, and those whose lives were marred by racial persecution and displacement. The tragic story of Firestone's own family lays the groundwork for these revealing testimonies of recovery, forgiveness, and moral leadership. 
   
   
   
  Throughout, Firestone interweaves their voices with neuroscientific and psychological findings, as well as relevant and inspiring Jewish teachings. Seven principles emerge from these wise narratives—powerful prescriptive tools that speak to anyone dealing with the effects of past injury. At the broadest level, these principles are directives for staying morally awake in a world rife with terror.

  For centuries men have been plotting to bring about a New World Order. From seemingly diverse backgrounds, religions, cultures and even politics, they come together behind the scenes to enact their plan. It was predicted many years ago and has been ongoing. Along the way thousands have built vast fortunes, families become entrenched as the power brokers and authority placed into the hands of a few. 
   
  Throughout time they have followed a cleverly laid out plan that was written down in code, cipher and symbolism thousands of years ago. In this book we will examine their special language in-order to uncover the truth. From the special names to the special numbers, a secret lies hidden and waiting. 
   
  We will reveal the significance of the number of the beast, 666. We will see the truth behind their religious symbols such as the cross and tree and through these see the beast for what it truly is. We will know the one that shall follow. The one they call the anti-Christ, and we shall be amazed. Never in the history of mankind, until now, was it possible to deliver this beast upon the earth. 
   
  The New World Order is ready and it's new messiah about to be revealed.
