  Frontline Bodies - Sports and...

  In Frontline Bodies, Nicolas Martin-Breteau argues that sports are not—and have never been—purely about entertainment for Black Americans. Instead, beginning in the 1890s during Reconstruction, Black Americans proactively used athletics as a tactic to fight racial oppression. 
   
   
   
  Martin-Breteau considers the work of Edwin B. Henderson, a prominent Black physical educator, civil rights activist, and historian of Black sports. Training Black children as athletes, Henderson felt, would work both to fortify racial pride and to dismantle racial prejudices—two necessary requirements for a successful political liberation struggle. In this way, physical education became political education. 
   
   
   
  By the end of the twentieth century, Martin-Breteau argues, racial uplift through sports had lost its emancipating power. The emphasis on the accumulation of wealth for professional athletes, as well as sports' ability to reinforce anti-Black stereotypes, had become a political problem for true collective liberation. For a marginalized group of people that has been physically excluded from the democratic process, however, sports remain a political resource. By studying the relationship between athletics and politics, Frontline Bodies renews the history of minority bodies and their power of action.

  The Cabin By The Deep Lake -...

  Every fall, six men return to a remote cabin in the woods of northern Maine. 
  They come to hunt, to work, to sit by the fire, and to keep a tradition alive—one passed down not just through family, but through time spent on land that asks to be treated with care. 
   
  What begins as another familiar season changes when a wounded deer leads one of them into ground that has been quiet for more than a century. Hidden in stone and shadow is a truth the land has protected through silence—human lives caught between hope and history, waiting where freedom once passed north. 
   
  As the discovery unfolds, the men are faced with a choice: preserve the secret as it is, or allow the past to finally speak. What follows is not a rush toward answers, but a careful reckoning—with legacy, responsibility, and the difference between ownership and stewardship. 
   
  This is not a story about hunting trophies or buried treasure. 
  It is a story about restraint. 
  About listening. 
  About knowing when to act—and when to leave things exactly where they are. 
   
  Blending wilderness realism with quiet historical mystery, this novel explores the unseen paths of the Underground Railroad, the weight of inherited land, and the ways memory survives when it is honored rather than exposed. 
   
  In the end, the land keeps its secrets. 
  But those who learn to listen are changed forever.

  Before Mary Earps, Jess Fishlock and Lucy Bronze, a generation of trailblazing women’s footballers defied the odds. 
  In 1921, the FA banned women from playing football in England, but these rebels refused to quit the game they loved. Leaving behind jobs, families and their homeland, they travelled across Europe in search of professional opportunities in women’s football – to countries like Italy and the Netherlands – where they could finally fulfil their footballing potential. 
  This groundbreaking book uncovers the untold stories of the pioneering women who paved the way for today’s Lionesses and global women’s football stars. The original Lioness who started a new life in the Netherlands as a teenager; the first woman of colour to play for England; the girl who turned down the chance of international recognition to play in Italy – through their reflections, we follow their extraordinary journeys, the evolution of women’s football in England and abroad, and the dreams they still hold for the future of the women’s game. 
  Perfect for readers of women’s sport writing, football history and fans of the Lionesses, this is essential reading for anyone who cares about the true story of women’s football.
