Summary

Archival Access Points explores the under-examined world of preserving LGBTQ comics, a unique art form representing a vital part of LGBTQ history. The book addresses the specific challenges archives and libraries face in acquiring, cataloging, and providing access to these materials. Many of these comics exist outside mainstream channels, often self-published or in digital formats, posing long-term storage and accessibility issues. Traditional cataloging methods also often fail to capture the nuances of LGBTQ experiences, making appropriate metadata crucial. This study examines the evolving practices used to preserve LGBTQ comics and the developing academic field analyzing them as cultural artifacts. It highlights that thoughtful preservation and accessible cataloging are essential to safeguarding these voices, especially as content may be considered sensitive, requiring careful consideration of privacy. Through case studies and interviews, the book examines how institutions are actively addressing these challenges.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core archival theory and LGBTQ comics history. It then examines case studies of institutions preserving and cataloging these materials, culminating in proposed best practices and ethical considerations. By focusing on the intersection of LGBTQ comics and archival practices, this offers a unique perspective valuable to archivists, librarians, scholars in gender and sexuality studies, and anyone interested in preserving cultural heritage and promoting social justice.

    In Educational Pluralism and American Democracy, education policy expert Ashley Rogers Berner envisions a K–12 education system that serves both the individual and the common good. Calling for education reform that will enable US public schools to fulfill the longstanding promise of American education, Berner proposes a radical reimagining of both the structure and content of US public school systems. She urges policymakers to embrace educational pluralism, an internationally common model in which the government funds diverse types of schools that deliver more universal content. 
     
     
     
    Providing an incisive assessment of democratic education throughout the world, Berner argues that educational pluralism can build students' exposure to diverse viewpoints and shared knowledge within distinctive school communities. She shows how pluralism steers a middle path that enables equitable access, promotes academic excellence, and avoids the zero-sum games that characterize US education policy. 
     
     
     
    In this thought-provoking proposal, Berner lays out a roadmap for big-picture reform, expertly delineating the mechanisms through which educational norms can change. A practical conclusion describes concrete moves that advocates can pursue to garner support and advance new legislation.

    Whether for entertainment, under the guise of medicine, or to propel consumerism, heinous acts are perpetrated daily on women’s bodies. In Body Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes, award-winning journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore catalogs the global toll of capitalism on our physical autonomy. Weaving together unflinching research and surprising humor, these essays range from investigative—probing the Cambodian garment industry, the history of menstrual products, or the gender biases of patent law—to uncomfortably intimate. Informed by her own navigation of several autoimmune diagnoses, Moore examines what it takes to seek care and community in the increasingly complicated, problematic, and disinterested US healthcare system. 
     
    A Lambda Literary Award finalist and a Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction Award shortlist title, Body Horror is “sharp, shocking, and darkly funny. . . . Brainy and historically informed, this collection is less a rallying cry or a bitter diatribe than a series of irreverent and ruthlessly accurate jabs at a culture that is slowly devouring us” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Featuring an updated introduction and new essays, as well as illustrations by Xander Marro, this new edition of Body Horror is a fascinating, insightful portrait of the gore that encapsulates contemporary American politics.

    In this candid and thought-provoking memoir, a millennial woman of Black and Chinese heritage reflects on the complexities of growing up with a mixed identity in the American South and beyond. From childhood memories to college experiences and a burgeoning career, Blackinese explores the nuances of race, culture, and belonging, tackling everything from food and music to dating, politics, and religion. 
    With vulnerable honesty, author Patricia Bradby Moore takes readers on a journey through her ever-evolving sense of self, which has been shaped by her diverse upbringing and global travels. From navigating the challenges of being multiracial in the U.S. to exploring how race is understood and experienced in other parts of the world, her story speaks to the growing population of mixed-race individuals who don’t fit into simple boxes. 
    Blackinese is an invitation to reflect on identity, empathy, and the shared human experience. With every page, it encourages readers to embrace their complexity and find strength in their uniqueness. This is a memoir for anyone who has ever felt they don’t quite fit the mold and for those who want to better understand what it means to live in a world where the lines of race and identity are anything but clear.
