  Anyone who has lived near New Haven, Connecticut, in the past forty-plus years has surely heard of Toad's Place. With a capacity of 750, Toad's has served as the perfect spot for musicians who prefer smaller venues. U2 played one of their first US concerts there, on their Boy tour. In 1978, Bruce Springsteen was in New Haven and arrived at Toad's unannounced, and got up and played. The surprises kept coming and the club was attracting big names, as well as up-and-comers. In 1989, the Rolling Stones played a surprise show on a Saturday night, giving 700 fans the night of their dreams. Nothing could have been better—the Rolling Stones in downtown New Haven was unimaginable! That is only a taste of the stories that are uncovered in this book. Randall Beach and Toad's owner Brian Phelps recall the legendary shows and behind-the-scenes stories.

  Exploitation - Taking Advantage...

  Exploitation is a fundamental aspect of human interaction, often driven by power imbalances and self-interest. It occurs when one party takes unfair advantage of another for personal or institutional gain, frequently at the expense of the exploited party’s well-being. While exploitation can be overt and aggressive, it is often subtle and embedded within social, economic, and political structures, making it difficult to recognize and address. The nature of exploitation is complex, as it is not always illegal or socially condemned, yet it can have profound ethical implications. 
  Throughout history, exploitation has manifested in various forms, from forced labor and colonialism to predatory business practices and manipulative personal relationships. At its core, exploitation relies on an asymmetry of power—whether in the form of financial control, social influence, or political dominance. Those who exploit others often justify their actions through ideologies that normalize or rationalize inequality, perpetuating systems where exploitation becomes an accepted norm rather than an aberration. This is evident in instances such as companies underpaying workers while maximizing profits, governments manipulating populations through propaganda, or individuals using emotional coercion to control relationships. 
  One of the most insidious aspects of exploitation is its ability to operate under the guise of mutual benefit. Many exploitative dynamics are framed as fair exchanges, where the exploited party is led to believe they are willingly participating. This is particularly evident in labor markets, where workers may accept unfair wages and poor conditions due to a lack of viable alternatives.

  How Black women celebrate their natural hair and uproot racialized beauty standards 
   
   
   
  Hair is not simply a biological feature; it's a canvas for expression. Hair can be cut, colored, dyed, covered, gelled, waxed, plucked, lasered, dreadlocked, braided, and relaxed. Yet, its significance extends beyond mere aesthetics. Hair can carry profound moral, spiritual, and cultural connotations, serving as a reflection of one's beliefs, heritage, and even political stance. In Natural, Chelsea Mary Elise Johnson delves into the complex world surrounding Black women's hair, and offers a firsthand look into the kitchens, beauty shops, conventions, and blogs that make up the twenty-first century natural hair movement, the latest evolution in Black beauty politics. 
   
   
   
  Johnson shares her own hair story and amplifies the voices of women across the globe who, after years of chemically relaxing their hair, return to a "natural" style. Johnson describes how many women initially transition to natural hair out of curiosity or as a wellness practice but come to view their choice as political upon confronting personal insecurities and social stigma, both within and outside of the Black community. She also investigates "natural hair entrepreneurs," who use their knowledge to create lucrative and socially transformative haircare ventures.
