  Where We Stand

  Djamila Ribeiro, Chimamanda...

  The instant bestseller from Djamila Ribeiro that sparked a major Black feminist movement in Brazil 
   
   
    
  In a society shaped by the legacies of enslavement, white supremacy, and sexism, who has the right to a voice? In this elegant essay, Djamila Ribeiro offers a compelling intervention into contemporary discussions of power and identity: the concept of "speaking place." A crucial component of conversations on race and gender in Brazil, speaking place is the idea that everyone has a social position in the world and that what we are able to say, and how it is received by others, depends on it. Ribeiro traces the history of Black feminist thought through several centuries, examining the ways that Black women have been silenced, ignored, and punished for speaking. 
   
   
    
  Building on feminist standpoint theory, and in conversation with the works of Sojourner Truth, bell hooks, Audre Lorde, and others, Ribeiro invites all of us to recognize where we stand, to imagine geographies different from those we've inherited, and to speak a more humane world into being.

  Angkor Wat, in northwest Cambodia, is the world's largest spiritual structure in the shape of a temple complex, with an acreage of 401 +344 acres. A quincunx of 4 towers surrounds a center spire that rises up to a height of 65 meters (213 feet) in the air in the temple's heart. The temple is separated into 3 rectangle-shaped galleries, each of which rises over the one before it. It's surrounded by a 3.6-kilometer-long (24-mile-long) external wall and a five-kilometer-long (three-mile-long) moat. 
  The temple was built as the state temple for the Khmer Empire at the demand of Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaodharapura (, contemporary Angkor), the Khmer Empire's capital. It was constructed in the early 12th century to honor the Hindu god Vishnu, but by the end of the century, it had been changed to a Buddhist temple. 
  Angkor Wat is a fascinating structure, dating back hundreds of years, and it’s impressive how much of it has remained intact.

  Some Nightmares Are True -...

  In this haunting follow-up to Some Nightmares Are Real, journalist and storyteller Kelly Kazek investigates supernatural folklore grounded in historical catastrophe. This time, she ventures beyond Alabama, unearthing the legends born from their aftermath of nine of America's most infamous disasters. From the suffocation of the Boston Molasses Flood and the terror of Galveston's notorious Great Storm, to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory disaster, Some Nightmares Are True examines ghost stories that have haunted communities long after the headlines stopped. 
   
  Each spooky story blends vivid storytelling with meticulous research, connecting real events to the ghostly lore they inspired. Kazek explores not just the moment of disaster, but how grief, resilience, and remembrance shape the way stories live on—through newspaper archives, folklore, and generations of retelling. 
   
  With Southern sensibility and journalistic rigor, Kazek explores how moments of tragedy like the Dixie Tornado Outbreak in Alabama, the capsizing of the SS Eastland in Chicago, and the aftermath of the Schoolchildren's Blizzard in Nebraska leave imprints on generational memory. These sites of devastation become more than historical footnotes; they transform into hallowed grounds where grief lingers, legends remain, and the line between fact and folklore dissolves.
