More Than Our Pain - Affect and...

Beth Hinderliter, Steve Peraza

Confronted by a crisis in black American leadership, state-sanctioned violence against black communities, and colorblind laws that trap black Americans in a racial caste system, Black Lives Matter activists and the artists inspired by them have devised new forms of political and cultural resistance. More Than Our Pain explores how affect and emotion can drive collective political and cultural action in the face of a new nadir in race relations in the United States. This foregrounding of affect and emotion marks a clear break from civil rights–era activists, who were often trained to counter false narratives about protesters as thugs and criminals by presenting themselves as impeccably groomed and disciplined young black Americans. In contrast, the Black Lives Matter movement in the early twenty-first-century makes no qualms about rejecting the politics of respectability. Affect and emotion has moved from the margin to the center of this new human rights movement, and by examining righteous rage, black joy, as well as grief and fatigue, among other emotions, the contributors celebrate the vitality of black life while documenting those who have harmed it.

Karma Yoga - Selfless Action for...

Clarice Bendleton

Karma Yoga, often understood as the yoga of selfless action, is one of the spiritual paths in Hindu philosophy that emphasizes action performed without any expectation of reward. Predominantly derived from the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred scripture of Hinduism, Karma Yoga is more than just a philosophical concept; it is a practical guide to living that encourages practitioners to engage in their duties and actions with a spirit of detachment from the fruits of those actions. 
At its core, Karma Yoga is about purifying the heart and mind through selfless service. The practice teaches that all actions can be a form of worship if performed without selfish motives and in the spirit of contributing to the greater good. This approach to action seeks to transform an ordinary activity into a spiritual endeavor, thereby turning everyday life into a spiritual experience. 
The philosophy of Karma Yoga is deeply entwined with the Indian concept of dharma, or duty. According to the Bhagavad Gita, each individual has their own dharma, determined by their place in life, their duties, and their responsibilities. Performing these duties without attachment to outcomes, and as an offering to the divine, is the essence of Karma Yoga. This relinquishes the ego's hold on the self and aligns the practitioner with a higher purpose.

The Republican House Divided -...

Tim Galsworthy

How the Republican Party transformed from the Party of Lincoln to the Party of Lee 
 
The Republican House Divided is the first comprehensive study of the relationships between the Republican Party and Civil War memory in the twentieth century. Tim Galsworthy reveals how rival Republicans deployed Civil War memory to support, oppose, and ultimately shape the GOP's transformation, during the civil rights era, into a racially conservative party. Drawing on extensive archival research, Galsworthy underlines how references to the past were vitally important to Republican Party politicians as they negotiated their party's positions toward African American civil rights and attempted to appeal to erstwhile white Southern Democrats. Paying attention to a range of actors—including national party leaders, southern conservatives, prominent progressives, and defiant Black Republicans—he traces the actions of Republican politicians and operatives from across the party's ideological and geographical spectrums as they struggled to control and direct party messaging, strategy, and policy. The Republican House Divided is a timely work, offering insight into how the "Party of Lincoln" started on the road to becoming the GOP of today.
