  “It’s just grief,” they’ll tell you, “it will pass. We all lose someone at some point in our lives.” 
  But the death of a partner is so much more than “just grief.” It’s a different kind of grief — the kind that permanently shifts our perspective on life.  
  It’s stressing over what to do with their belongings and feeling anxious when you hear the doorbell ring. It’s tossing and turning to the memory of their last breath and pondering the many decisions you could have made to prevent their death.  
  As someone who’s been through it, Jessica Ayers understands how crushing partner loss is. In a matter of seconds, she went from nursing her 3-day-old son to feeling for her dead husband's pulse.  
  In Your Partner Is Dead, Now What? Jessica explores the darkest corners of grief that emerge after the loss of a partner. She writes with extreme vulnerability about the unforeseen moments of trauma, grief, and anger we encounter and offers first-hand advice on how to adequately face them.  
  With expert contributions from two grief therapists, Your Partner Is Dead, Now What? examines life after loss and offers a realistic approach to finding a new normal after enduring the most unimaginable pain.  
  Your Partner Is Dead, Now What? is for anyone who’s lost a romantic partner to death and those who support them. With this book’s insight, you can learn to stop fighting grief as something to move on from and start embracing it as something we must live with forever.

  Uncle Tom's Cabin: The Icon...

  Uncle Tom's Cabin is an antislavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in two volumes in 1852, the novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the U.S., and is said to have "helped lay the groundwork for the [American] Civil War". 
    
  Stowe, a Connecticutborn woman of English descent, was part of the religious Beecher family and an active abolitionist. She wrote the sentimental novel to depict the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love could overcome slavery. The novel focuses on the character of Uncle Tom, a longsuffering black slave around whom the stories of the other characters revolve. 
    
  Uncle Tom's Cabin was the bestselling novel and the second bestselling book of the 19th century, following the Bible, and is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. The impact attributed to the book was so great that a likely apocryphal story arose of Abraham Lincoln meeting Stowe at the start of the Civil War and declaring, "So this is the little lady who started this great war." 
    
  The book and the plays it inspired helped popularize a number of negative stereotypes about black people including that of the namesake character "Uncle Tom", with the term now used to describe an excessively subservient person. These associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have, to an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a "vital antislavery tool". However, the novel stands as a "landmark" in protest literature with later books such as The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and Silent Spring by Rachel Carson owing a large debt to it A oneofakind audio encounter for lovers of history, literature, spiritual texts, and inspirational writing.

  Fading Footprints - In search of...

  That summer afternoon, I had no way of knowing the book would radically alter my existence. Yet that proved to be the case. A wind that had begun to blow from a faraway place a long time ago had finally caught up with me.
  So writes folklorist José Manuel de Prada-Samper about a chance discovery more than thirty years ago of an obscure book called Specimens of Bushman Folklore in a second-hand bookshop in England.
  Part historical detective story, part memoir, Fading Footprints traces the author's journey into the magical folklore of the /xam hunter-gatherers of the Upper Karoo. Through archival research and on field trips in South Africa, de Prada-Samper reveals the tragic scope of the genocide of the /xam San by European colonisers. However, he is also able to humanise the /xam as he delves into the work and lives of researchers Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd, who recorded the stories of San prisoners in Cape Town over more than a decade in the late 1800s.
  Determined to seek out the ancient folklore tales, the author travels to forgotten corners of the Northern Cape. There he learns that many stories are still told to this day by farm workers and that, contrary to common belief, the culture and traditions of South Africa's first people are still very much alive. Their footprints may have faded but they have not been erased.

  This is the story of Dr. Geneva Smitherman, aka "Dr. G," the pioneering linguist often referred to as the "Queen of Black Language." In a series of narrative essays, Dr. G writes eloquently and powerfully about the role of language in social transformation and the academic, intellectual, linguistic, and societal debates that shaped her groundbreaking work as a Black Studies O.G. and a Womanist scholar-activist of African American Language. 
   
   
   
  These eleven essays narrate the development of Dr. G's race, gender, class, and linguistic consciousness as a member of the Black Power Generation of the 1960s and 70s. In My Soul Look Back In Wonder, Dr. G links the personal to the professional and the political, situating the struggles, and successes, of a Black woman in the Academy within the historical experiences and development of her people. 
   
   
   
  As Dr. G enters her eighth decade, in this Black Lives Matter historical moment, she seeks to share the meaning and purpose of a life of study and struggle and its significance for all those who seek racial and social justice today.
