Mask Off - Masculinity Redefined

JJ Bola

What is masculinity? Dominating the world around us, with deadly gun violence, male suicide rates and incels on Reddit, masculinity is perceived to be 'toxic', 'fragile' and 'in crisis'.In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by the author, JJ Bola exposes masculinity as a performance that men are socially conditioned into. Using examples of non-Western cultural traditions, music and sport, he shines light on historical narratives around manhood, debunking popular myths along the way. He explores how LGBTQ men, men of colour, and male refugees experience masculinity in diverse ways, revealing its fluidity, how it's strengthened and weakened by different political contexts, such as the patriarchy or the far-right, and perceived differently by those around them.At the heart of love and sex, the political stage, competitive sports, gang culture, and mental health issues, lies masculinity: Mask Off is an urgent call to unravel masculinity and redefine it.

A Darker Wilderness - Black...

Erin Sharkey

What are the politics of nature? Who owns it, where is it, what role does it play in our lives? Does it need to be tamed? Are we ourselves natural? In A Darker Wilderness, a constellation of luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States. Each of these essays engages with a single archival object, whether directly or obliquely, exploring stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space and finding rich Blackness everywhere. 
 
 
 
Erin Sharkey considers Benjamin Banneker's 1795 almanac, as she follows the passing of seasons in an urban garden in Buffalo. Naima Penniman reflects on a statue of Haitian revolutionary François Makandal, within her own pursuit of environmental justice. Ama Codjoe meditates on rain, hair, protest, and freedom via a photo of a woman during a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. And so on with wide-ranging contributions unearthing evidence of the ways Black people's relationship to the natural world has persevered through colonialism, slavery, violence, and structurally racist policies. 
 
 
 
A scrapbook, a family chest, a quilt—a work of historical engagement and literary accomplishment—A Darker Wilderness is a collection brimming with abundance and insight.

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.

"HEART WANT - LOGIC DOES NOT...

Saikhul Mabrur

Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
"A good reason is found in a good body" 
in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
where something cannot be 
a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
then it becomes; 
الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
suitability of a life path that is carried out.
