Sinossi

Censorship Moments explores the historical suppression of LGBTQ+ representation within comics, revealing the cultural anxieties and social prejudice that fueled these actions. The book dives into instances where LGBTQ+ comics faced legal battles and outright bans, highlighting the struggle for freedom of expression.

 
One key area examined is the impact of the Comics Code Authority, which significantly restricted LGBTQ+ content for decades. Another is how comics became a battleground for cultural conflict, yet also a powerful tool for LGBTQ+ self-expression.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the history of LGBTQ+ representation in comics and the evolution of censorship practices. It then analyzes specific landmark cases thematically, such as early 20th-century moral panics and contemporary challenges in schools and libraries.

 
Through its analysis, the book reveals how censorship in LGBTQ+ comics reflects deeper societal fears related to gender, sexuality, and identity. By centering the experiences of LGBTQ+ comic creators and readers, this book offers a fresh perspective on the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

    Tomorrow with Bayonets - Dublin:...

    The raw intensity of the Irish Civil War is brought to life in this gripping, fast-paced journey from July 1921 to July 1922 – a year of change and conflict. Dublin's descent into violent unrest surpasses the turbulence of the Easter Rising. Treaty debates spark dissension, and as tensions mount, Dublin becomes a tinderbox of espionage, betrayal, and guerrilla warfare. Former allies who fought shoulder to shoulder in the IRA now find themselves divided and entrenched in an ideological struggle that threatens to tear Dublin and Ireland apart. More than a historical recount, 'Tomorrow With Bayonets' offers a visceral portrayal of a nation grappling with its identity and sovereignty, seen through the eyes of combatants, leaders, and civilians caught in the crossfire.
    
    
    The Provisional Government's National Army and the IRA engage in sporadic but fierce clashes as unrelenting violence and chaos engulf the country. In Northern Ireland, there is growing disillusionment among IRA units due to the diminishing credibility of assurances from Michael Collins. Ongoing assaults on their communities, the nationalist population experiences a rising number of casualties due to rampant brutality from unionist militias. A suppression of inquiries into killings leads to a widespread feeling of abandonment by the Provisional Government.
    
    
    On June 4 1922, the Provisional Government implemented 'a policy of peaceful obstruction' towards the Belfast Government, explicitly forbidding any troops from the twenty-six counties from entering the six-county area. In an apocalyptic climax, Dublin is engulfed in explosions, assassinations and relentless urban warfare. This powerful account, not for the faint-hearted, leaves a lasting impact, resonating with the reader long after the final page.

    Around 13.5 billion years ago, energy, time, matter and space had come to be known as the phenomenon of the Big Bang. The theory of the fundamental features of the universe is referred to as physics. Around 30,000 years when these features had appeared, energy along with matter had started the coalescing into various complex structures referred to as the atoms. These then combined themselves into bigger molecules. The theory of atoms along with molecules as well as its interaction is referred to as the chemistry. Some 3.8 billion years before, on some planet known as the Earth, several molecules had combined to result in some large and well-defined structures known as the organisms. The theory of the organisms is referred to as biology. 
    Around 70,000 years before, the organisms which belonged to the group homo sapiens had started forming even larger and elaborative structures known as the cultures. The development of these cultures is known as history.

    Two husbands, four trials and one bloody execution: Winner of the 2015 Davitt Award for Best Crime Book (Non-fiction) -- the terrible true story of Louisa Collins. 
     In January 1889, Louisa Collins, a 41-year-old mother of ten children, became the first woman hanged at Darlinghurst Gaol and the last woman hanged in New South Wales. Both of Louisa's husbands had died suddenly and the Crown, convinced that Louisa poisoned them with arsenic, put her on trial an extraordinary four times in order to get a conviction, to the horror of many in the legal community. Louisa protested her innocence until the end. Much of the evidence against Louisa was circumstantial. Some of the most important testimony was given by her only daughter, May, who was just 10-years-old when asked to take the stand. Louisa Collins was hanged at a time when women were in no sense equal under the law -- except when it came to the gallows. They could not vote or stand for parliament -- or sit on juries. Against this background, a small group of women rose up to try to save Louisa's life, arguing that a legal system comprised only of men -- male judges, all-male jury, male prosecutor, governor and Premier -- could not with any integrity hang a woman. The tenacity of these women would not save Louisa but it would ultimately carry women from their homes all the way to Parliament House. Caroline Overington is the author of eleven books of fiction and non-fiction, including the top-selling THE ONE WHO GOT AWAY psychological crime novel. She has said: 'My hope is that LAST WOMAN HANGED will be read not only as a true crime story but as a letter of profound thanks to that generation of women who fought so hard for the rights we still enjoy today.'Praise for LAST WOMAN HANGED'The story she tells ... is a useful challenge to any tendency to simple moral indignation' -- Beverley Kingston, Sydney Morning Herald'This is a fascinating book, a terrific read, and an excellent reminder of who tells the stories, and whose stories are forgotten' -- Frances Rand, South Coast Register'... what's ... interesting is Caroline Overington's even-handed appraisal of Collins's alleged crime(s) that led her to become the last woman hanged in New South Wales in 1889' -- Launceston Sunday Examiner

    Sikh Nasalkushi Da Khura Khoj Part - 2: Authored by Gurjant Singh Ball and Sukhjeet Singh Sadarkot 
    Most people know about the Sikh genocide in places like Delhi, Kanpur, Bokaro, and Hondh-Chillar. But the violence didn’t happen only in these cities. Sikhs were targeted in many other parts of India in the same way. The book series "Sikh Nasalkushi da Khura Khoj" is the first of its kind. It deeply studies and explains what happened to Sikhs in different states. The first part of the book talks about events in six states: Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu. Part 2 of the book continues this research and gives details about what happened in five more states: Manipur, Bihar, Assam, West Bengal, and Jharkhand. You can order it from Sikh Siyasat and get it delivered anywhere in the world.
