  The creator of the internationally popular, multiple award-winning blog MsAfropolitan applies an Africa-centered feminist sensibility to issues of racism and sexism, challenging our illusions about oppression and liberation and daring women to embrace their power. 
   
  Sensuous Knowledge is a collection of thought provoking essays that explore questions central to how we see ourselves, our history, and our world. 
  What does it mean to be oppressed?  
  What does it mean to be liberated?  
  Why do women choose to follow authority even when they can be autonomous?  
  What is the cost of compromising one’s true self?  
  What narratives particularly subjugate women and people of African heritage?  
  What kind of narrative can heal and empower? 
  As she considers these questions, Salami offers fresh insights on key cultural issues that impact women’s lives, including power, beauty, and knowledge. She also examines larger subjects, such as Afrofuturism, radical Black feminism, and gender politics, all with a historical outlook that is also future oriented. Combining a storyteller’s narrative playfulness and a social critic’s intellectual rigor, Salami draws upon a range of traditions and ideologies, feminist theory, popular culture—including insights from Ms. Lauryn Hill, Beyoncé, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, and others—science, philosophy, African myths and origin stories, and her own bold personal narrative to establish a language for change and self-liberation. 
  Sensuous Knowledge inspires reflection and challenge us to formulate or own views. Using ancestral knowledge to steer us toward freedom, Salami reveals the ways that women have protested over the years in large and small ways—models that inspire and empower us to define our own sense of womanhood today. 
  In this riveting meditation, Salami ask women to break free of the prison made by ingrained male centric biases, and build a house themselves—a home that can nurture us all.

  This is a home where a man’s word is law—no matter which of them is the man. 
    
  I’m used to giving the orders, so when my wife produces a pair of magic potions for the bedroom, she only demurely suggests we drink. A suggestion I will come to regret—or will I? 
    
  As I am turned into a stunning model of the feminine side, I am amazed to find the hot man who used to be my wife now makes my mouth water—a mouth that wants to wrap around that firm rod. 
    
  But not before doing the dishes and getting that sweet new rear end of mine bent over the sink, where my newfound innocence will be taken. 
    
  How much can I take before I turn back to a man, and will I ever be the same?

This isn't just another self-help manual – it's an intimate conversation about the courage it takes to remain open to life's endless possibilities, about finding beauty in the questions themselves rather than rushing toward answers.

  When we feel pain in our body, it is usually a sign that something is wrong. When we experience injury, illness, or disease, we treat the symptoms with medication, physical therapy or alternative medicine. But sometimes treating the symptoms isn’t enough. Our bodies are often telling us that there is a disruption in our energy flow that is keeping us from getting well.

  Great Escapes of World War I...

  In the first half of the 20th century, war was fought on a global and industrial scale. Millions of men were flung into the grinder of World War I and World War II, leading to commensurately huge numbers of prisoners of war (POWs). Camps were built to hold thousands of captives, with their own barracks blocks, parade grounds, and even farms. In World War I, there were several fronts in the war - Britain, France, Belgium, and Germany faced each other on the Western Front, fought mostly in northeast France and Belgium, while Germany and Austria Hungary faced Russia on the Eastern Front, where much of the war was fought in East Prussia and what is now Poland. The Italians and Austrians fought in the region of northeast Italy, and the Austrians and Bulgarians faced Serbia and then later an Allied army based in Salonica in the Balkans. The Ottomans faced Russia in northeast Anatolia, the British and Allied forces in the Mesopotamian campaign (mainly in today’s Iraq), the British in Palestine, and the Allies at Gallipoli.  
  	Regardless of rank, throughout the war, many of these men did not sit idle. Many spent their time preparing elaborate escape plans in the hopes of returning to their home nations and back to the fight. Following World War I, several books were published giving romantic accounts of successful escapes. For example, the wildly popular film The Great Escape (1963), has been a main factor in how the public views prisoners of war, and while that film was based on a book that details a mass escape of British and Allied prisoners from a World War II German prison camp for aviators, Stalag Luft III, a real escape from a German prisoner camp in World War I inspired the 1944 great escape from Stalag Luft III.
