  The Great Refusal - A New Vision...

  In the tradition of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me, bell hook’s All About Love, and even James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time, comes a groundbreaking blend of personal and political commentary from acclaimed memoirist Casey Gerald, offering an iconoclastic reframe of resistance and rebellion to meet the current moment and remake the world on our terms. In 2019, 400 years after the first Africans were stolen and brought to American shores for enslavement, Casey Gerald made a bold and controversial proclamation on national television: “We’ve been given strategies to make it in this country, to endure this land… but there’s another very important tradition that each person has the right and opportunity and perhaps, at this very urgent moment, the responsibility to reclaim, and that is the strategy of flight, of escape.” His interviewer, Michel Martin, asked, “Where are we going?”The Great Refusal is the answer to Martin’s apt question. In a short yet powerful volume, Gerald maps the path forward, calling on the works of Black luminaries, writers, and activists, as well as his own experience stepping back from the limelight and reassessing our current strategies of resistance and endurance. He implores us to tend to our inner resources and restrengthen our own worlds. Much resistance, he argues, is an inherent dialogue with the oppressor, playing on their battlefield, a defense to their offensive. (He is a former football star, after all.) Now, again, we find ourselves on the shorelines of destruction. The strategies we’ve been taught – assimilation, respectability politics, meritocracy – are stalling out or degrading us further. What would rebellion look like if we stepped out of this cycle and imagined a different world, one on our terms? Marginalized Americans are in a gridlock fight for dignity in a system that is hellbent on never granting it. It’s time we understood our power, our peace, and our needs, and built them on our own instead of begging for scraps. Gerald offer’s a way — one that saved him, just as it once saved his forebears: the great refusal.

  Beyond Death - Real Ghosts &...

  “When we die first we are taken to task by Yamaraj the Lord of death and taken to one of the twenty eight hellish planets to be punished before being put into a new body in the next life” Srimad Bhagavatam 
   
  "Those who are attached to their family, house, village or country do not receive a gross body made of material elements but remain in a subtle body, composed of mind, ego, and intelligence. Those who live in such subtle bodies are called ghosts. This ghostly position is very painful because a ghost has intelligence, mind, and ego and wants to enjoy material life, but because he doesn’t have a gross material body, he can only create disturbances for want of material satisfaction." A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada 
   
  Death - it comes to us all. it is a sacrifice for the good life we lead at the end of our long fortuitous road. Or is it? For millenniums the yogis of India following the ancient Vedic path have clearly spoken about what we call in the west- life after death. To the unenlightened materialist, life begins with birth and ends with the final inevitable dissolution of the gross material body. But to the enlightened ones ordinary life and death are seen as nothing extraordinary - and at most the unclouded end of the infinite beginning. It is true that some of the more virtuous and godly among us may escape the never-ending wheel of repeated birth and death however most are commanded to return to this material world by the process of reincarnation, or if they are exceptionally unlucky hover around this gross material sphere for untold eons as homeless, restless, disembodied, hopeless, spirits. It is of these unfortunate souls to whom we address this unique audiobook. Here for the first time is the secret yoga of the ghostly realms directly from the ancient Vedic sastras of spiritual India.

  Home Bound - An Uprooted...

  Vanessa A. Bee

  In this memoir of identity and discovery, Vanessa A. Bee explores the way we define "home" and "belonging"—from her birth in Yaoundé, Cameroon, to her adoption, to experiencing housing insecurity in Europe and her eventual immigration to the US. After her parents' divorce, Vanessa traveled with her mother to Lyon and later to London, eventually settling in Reno, Nevada, as a teenager, right around the financial crisis and the collapse of the housing market. At twenty, still a practicing evangelical Christian and newly married, Vanessa applied to and was accepted by Harvard Law School, where she was one of the youngest members of her class. There, she forged a new belief system, divorced her husband, left the church, and pursued a career in economic justice upon graduation. 
   
   
   
  Vanessa's upbringing has caused her to grapple for years with foundational questions such as: What is home? Is it the country we're born in, the body we possess, or the name we were given and that identifies us? Is it the house we remember most fondly, the social status assigned to us, or the ideology we forge? What defines us and makes us uniquely who we are? 
   
   
   
  Vanessa tackles these timeless questions thematically and unpacks the many layers that contribute to and condition our understanding of ourselves and of our place in the world.
