Sinossi

The 1619 Project is an anthology of essays edited by Nikole Hannah-Jones and co-created with the New York Times that seeks to reframe American history with the institution of slavery at its core. The book asserts that American history began in 1619 with the arrival of the first ship of enslaved Africans, one year before the Mayflower arrived.

ANGER MANAGEMENT FOR KIDS 5-8 -...

Rachel Jones

Having children is joyful, and parents are naturally programmed to raise them to be well-rounded individuals that are fully equipped to face the world, right? This may be the case on another planet, but here on Earth, we all know differently! Parents are suddenly expected to know how to teach their beloved children how to cope with a maelstrom of emotions that are completely alien to them and have reactions that suit the rest of the planet.
The pressure on parents is intense, and they often struggle to ask for help. And that is why we have books and online resources to help. Parenting is the most difficult job in the world so having help is essential. Don’t suffer alone. Use this book to help you navigate the treacherous waters of children’s emotions and emerge from the journey successfully.
Understanding how society affects your child is a major stepping stone to dealing with their anger. America and the modern world accept anger as a cultural state of emotion. Angry images are prevalent on television, in films and music, and even in children’s toys and video games. How is it possible to shield your child from these elements? It is impossible, but you can be vigilant about what they are exposed to and be ready to explain why they sometimes see confusing images.
Another important aspect of anger is the endorphins it releases into our system. They help us shield ourselves from those who would harm us emotionally and physically, and it feels like we become stronger and more confident in anger. Of course, we know this is just a fleeting sentiment and that these feelings wear off, but children can find the sensation appealing.

Witch Power - Hexing the...

Emma Quilty

When most people hear the word "witch," they immediately think of crones conspiring over a cauldron, a force of dark and vindictive power. But to hundreds of thousands across the world, being a witch is a living, everyday reality, much more varied than the fairytale image. 
 
Witch Power follows Emma Quilty—herself a witch and an anthropologist—on an immersive journey into contemporary witchcraft, from Witchcamp retreats to "red tent" menstrual events, Voodoo priestesses running ghost tours from their vans to TikTokers casting hexes on a viral scale. 
 
Attentive to the history of witchcraft, she reveals the role power plays in how the figure of the witch has changed over time to suit the ever-present need to control and demonize women. Because to be a witch is to live in defiance of society's expectations and rules. 
 
But while the witch is always castigated as a threat, Quilty finds that the witch is never alone: the witch is a survivor and a symbol of resistance. Ultimately, Witch Power is a provocation and an invitation to listeners to experience with the author what it means to embrace witchiness and what witchy feminism could bring to your life.
