Holding the weight of being a Latino man, Christopher wonders where he falls on the color line, widened through his experience as an ethnically am­biguous actor of color in Holly­wood and the man!) dangers and pitfalls that come from owning one's Brownness. Told through the lens of his personal stories and in a unique and literal voice, Christopher examines the deep history of his Dominican and Colombian heritage.

    'Lyrical and uncompromising - Suhaiymah writes to disrupt' - gal-dem 
    Islamophobia is everywhere. It is a narrative and history woven so deeply into our everyday lives that we don’t even notice it – in our education, how we travel, our healthcare, legal system and at work. Behind the scenes it affects the most vulnerable, at the border and in prisons. Despite this, the conversation about Islamophobia is relegated to microaggressions and slurs. 
    In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by the author, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan reveals how Islamophobia not only lives under the skin of those who it marks, but is an international political project designed to divide people in the name of security, in order to materially benefit global stakeholders. It can only be truly uprooted when we focus not on what it is but what it does. 
    Tangled in Terror shows that until the most marginalised Muslims are safe, nobody is safe.

    The Heian Period, spanning from 794 to 1185 CE, marks one of the most culturally rich and politically significant eras in Japanese history. This chapter lays the groundwork for understanding the historical context, political dynamics, and societal structure that defined the early stages of the Heian era. The period officially began when Emperor Kanmu moved the imperial capital from Nara to Heian-kyō, present-day Kyoto. This relocation was intended to establish a new seat of power free from the influence of powerful Buddhist monasteries that had grown too entwined with politics in Nara. 
    The move to Heian-kyō signified more than a change in geography—it was the beginning of a new political and cultural identity. The city was meticulously planned, modeled after the Chinese capital of Chang’an, with a grid-like structure that reflected a vision of order and centralized authority. However, over time, the influence of the emperor waned as powerful aristocratic families, particularly the Fujiwara clan, rose to prominence. By marrying their daughters into the imperial family and acting as regents, the Fujiwara effectively controlled the court, shaping policy and governance from behind the scenes. 
    The political landscape of early Heian Japan was one of ceremonial grandeur and subtle manipulation. Real power resided in the hands of a few elite families, and the imperial court became increasingly detached from the provinces. This created a division between the cultured, refined life of the capital and the often turbulent realities of rural Japan, where local warrior clans began to assert their own authority.

    Cities are living, breathing organisms composed not of concrete and steel, but of human stories, interactions, relationships, and collective dreams. Beyond their physical infrastructure, urban environments are complex social ecosystems where diverse human experiences intersect, collide, and transform—creating a dynamic tapestry of cultural expression, social negotiation, and collective identity. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate social and cultural landscapes that breathe life into urban spaces, examining how human connections, cultural practices, and sociological patterns shape the very essence of metropolitan experience. 
    The narrative of urban social dynamics is a profound journey through the human experience of collective living, where individual stories weave together to create the rich, complex fabric of city life. By exploring the social structures, cultural interactions, and sociological mechanisms that define urban environments, this book uncovers the nuanced ways in which people create meaning, build communities, and negotiate identities within the dense, diverse landscapes of modern cities. Readers will traverse the intricate terrain of urban sociology, discovering how social networks, cultural practices, economic dynamics, and human relationships transform physical spaces into living, evolving communities—revealing cities not as static geographical locations, but as dynamic, ever-changing repositories of human potential, conflict, creativity, and collective aspiration.
