Synopsis

In "Queer Justice: Stories of Discrimination and Hope," we embark on a journey through the struggles, triumphs, and unwavering resilience of LGBTQ+ individuals in the face of discrimination. This book unveils the legal battles, societal prejudices, and personal hardships that LGBTQ+ people have endured, while also celebrating their indomitable spirit and the transformative power of advocacy.

Through the lens of landmark legal victories, we witness the fight for marriage equality, employment discrimination, housing and public accommodation rights, hate crimes legislation, and transgender rights. These victories, hard-fought and dearly won, stand as beacons of hope and progress.

Yet, the fight for LGBTQ+ rights is far from over. Ongoing challenges remain, such as the insidious practice of conversion therapy, the clash between religious freedom and LGBTQ+ rights, and the barriers faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in accessing inclusive healthcare. The book delves into these issues, shedding light on the complexities and urgency of the ongoing struggle for equality.

"Queer Justice" goes beyond mere documentation of these challenges. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of LGBTQ+ individuals, whose personal stories of triumph over adversity serve as beacons of hope and inspiration. From coming out and navigating the complexities of identity to overcoming prejudice and discrimination, these stories showcase the extraordinary strength and resilience of the human spirit.

The book also explores the intersectionality of discrimination, examining how race, gender, and LGBTQ+ identity intersect to create unique and compounded challenges. The experiences of LGBTQ+ people of color, LGBTQ+ women, LGBTQ+ people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ immigrants are brought to the forefront, shedding light on the unique struggles and triumphs of these marginalized communities.

"Queer Justice" transcends national borders, delving into the global landscape of LGBTQ+ rights. It examines the progress made in different countries, while also highlighting the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in regions where discrimination and persecution remain rampant. The role of international advocacy and diplomacy in advancing LGBTQ+ rights is scrutinized, as the book explores the efforts of organizations and individuals to promote equality and justice on a global scale.

This book is a clarion call for action, urging readers to join the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. It highlights the importance of allyship, providing practical strategies for individuals to become effective advocates for equality. The power of storytelling and education is emphasized, as the book showcases the transformative impact of sharing personal narratives and raising awareness about LGBTQ+ issues.

Alexandra Petri's US History -...

Alexandra Petri

A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Alexandra Petri's US History is the fake textbook you never knew you needed! 
 
 
 
Alexandra Petri's US History contains a lost (invented!) history of America. (A history for people disappointed that the only president whose weird sex letters we have is Warren G. Harding.) Petri's "historical fan fiction" draws on real events and completely absurd fabrications to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation's complicated past. 
 
 
 
On Petri's deranged timeline, John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. Nearly eighty short, hilarious pieces span centuries of American history and culture. Nikola Tesla's friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon. The characters from Sesame Street invade Normandy. And Mark Twain—who famously said reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated—offers a detailed account of his undeath, in which he becomes a zombie. 
 
  
 
This side-splitting work of historical humor shows why Alexandra Petri has been hailed as a "genius," a "national treasure," and "one of the funniest writers alive."

Cromwell Against the Scots -...

John D. Grainger

After an introduction establishing Cromwell's war against the Scots from July 1650 to May 1652, this book discusses Charles' landing and Fairfax's resignation as commander-in-chief of the English Republican Army, both events occurred on the same day. It then addresses the causes of the war, Charles II's landing in Northern Scotland from the Continent. The story continues chronologically, from Cromwell's invasion of Scotland, through the Battle of Dunbar, and the slow establishment of the king's power over the Scottish government. The end came with the fall of the last of the Scottish castles, Dunnottar, to English conquest. The Scots enjoyed a distinct military recovery after the Dunbar defeat, but their aims and those of the king were always at cross purposes: the king was intent on the invasion of England, the Scots on resistance to English conquest. Finally, Cromwell's manoeuvres in the summer of 1651, and the English victory at Inverkeithing, allowed the king to invade England. This ended in another Scots defeat at Worcester. The removal of the Scots Army to England meanwhile allowed the English under Monck to complete their conquest of Scotland. Throughout, the political dimension, particularly in Scotland, is kept in view. At the end, the author comments on the relevance of these events to the present Scottish situation.
