    No one is immune to the byproducts of compulsory schooling and standardized testing. And while reform may be a worthy cause for some, it is not enough for countless others still trying to navigate the tyranny of what schooling has always been. Raising Free People argues that we need to build and work within systems designed for any human to learn, grow, socialize, and thrive, regardless of age, ability, background, or access to money. 
     
     
     
    Raising Free People explores examples of the transition from school or homeschooling to unschooling, how single parents and people facing financial challenges unschool successfully, and ways unschooling allows us to address generational trauma and unlearn the habits we mindlessly pass on to children. 
     
     
     
    In these detailed and unabashed stories and insights, Richards examines the ways that her relationships to blackness, decolonization, and healing work all combine to form relationships and enable community-healing strategies rooted in an unschooling practice. This is how millions of families center human connection, practice clear, and honest communication, and raise children who do not grow up to feel that they narrowly survived their childhoods.

    The Sociology of Consumption -...

    Consumption is more than just the act of buying goods and services; it is deeply embedded in social life, shaping identities, relationships, and cultural norms. Every purchase, whether intentional or subconscious, communicates something about an individual’s values, social status, and aspirations. From luxury fashion to everyday grocery choices, consumption reflects broader social trends and plays a crucial role in defining personal and collective identities. 
    One of the key aspects of consumption is its role in self-expression. People often use products to craft and communicate their identities, signaling their tastes, lifestyles, and even political beliefs. Clothing, for example, can represent a person’s social class, cultural background, or profession, while the brands they choose may indicate affiliations with certain social groups. The rise of sustainable fashion, vegan products, and ethical brands demonstrates how consumers align their purchases with their moral values, reinforcing the idea that buying is not just about necessity but about meaning. 
    In addition to personal identity, consumption is tied to social status and economic class. French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu argued that consumption patterns are shaped by “cultural capital,” or the knowledge, tastes, and habits associated with different social classes. Wealthy individuals may engage in conspicuous consumption, a term coined by Thorstein Veblen, where luxury goods serve as symbols of status and exclusivity. However, in modern consumer societies, status can also be displayed through experiences, such as luxury travel or exclusive events, rather than material possessions alone.
