  Do you keep an eye on world events through mainstream media? If so, chances are you have missed out on many essential news stories from countries around the world. 
  While many news outlets will cover European, U.K., and U.S. news in great detail, they often leave out essential news from other continents, especially Africa. 
  And yet, that doesn’t mean that newsworthy events occur there every day, just like in the UK. 
  In fact, some of the most newsworthy stories have occurred in Africa in recent years. 
  If you want to learn more about the conflicts of African communities, you have come to the right place. 
  Introducing, But, Whose Fault? Part One, a true story based in Ghana, where two AK-47s mysteriously vanished before reappearing without ammunition. 
  Not only does this book shed light on an incident that is still to be answered to this day, but it also highlights one of the many conflicts that African communities go through and are never displayed on the big screen. 
  In many ways, the conflict surrounding the missing rifles is a point of convergence of the exploitation of Africa and the negligence shown toward the local people and their value to the world. 
  It is one of the main reasons it continues to go unnoticed in many countries, yet it is a story that must be told. 
  Inside, But, Whose Fault? Part One, discover: 
  ●	essential background information about the local people and community 
  ●	the political context behind the events that unfolded 
  ●	the initial factors that influenced the confrontation 
  ●	the company behind the Nguvu mining project 
  ●	the disappearance, search, and fallout from the missing rifles 
  If you are at all interested in the rich history and real-life stories of Africa, this book is a must-read.

  "A gripping account of survival and a condemnation of the conditions that marginalize and endanger the unsheltered." —KIRKUS 
  "Superb... Sharp dialogue, incisive observations, and polished prose." —BookLife EDITOR'S PICK 
  Her mother was a hacker-for-hire and drug dealer to Silicon Valley's elite; after everything went wrong she was homeless and alone on San Francisco streets at the age of thirteen. Fleeing her mother's life on the run from a double-crossed cartel and fresh out of witness protection, she joined Silicon Valley's children foraging food from San Francisco's trash cans and sleeping in abandoned cars -- while tech's earliest generations of workers partied, broke laws, and spat on homeless kids begging for spare change under the glow of tech's latest creations. 
  A Fish Has No Word For Water is a memoir about what it's really like for homeless kids, the strength of chosen family, and a hard love letter to San Francisco. 
  This memoir of survival unflinchingly shows Silicon Valley's children begging in the shadows of tech's shining towers, the surprising care circles formed by adults in San Francisco's LGBTQ community, and a city that is a mosaic of technologies and peoples that should not be together, but are. It upends stereotypes about children who survive abuse, young sex workers, LGBTQ youth, resilience in the face of immense grief and trauma, and how communities form to overcome some of the deadliest forms of discrimination. It reveals to readers that there was never a case for tech's shine in the first place. 
  Most of all, it is a story of tremendous resilience and how we can remake trauma into an invitation to be part of a larger world.

  Asian Immigration in the United...

  One of the most important and memorable events of the United States’ westward push across the frontier came with the discovery of gold in the lands that became California in January 1848. Located thousands of miles away from the country’s power centers on the east coast at the time, the announcement came a month before the Mexican-American War had ended, and among the very few Americans that were near the region at the time, many of them were Army soldiers who were participating in the war and garrisoned there. San Francisco was still best known for being a Spanish military and missionary outpost during the colonial era, and only a few hundred called it home. Mexico’s independence, and its possession of those lands, had come only a generation earlier. 
  The flow of Chinese immigrants increased dramatically in 1852, sparked in large part by a crop failure in southern China that caused the custom houses in San Francisco to swell with 20,026 Chinese arrivals. Even more Chinese came as news reached China about the apparent ease of mining in California. By the end of the decade, ⅕ of the population of the Southern Mines consisted of Chinese miners. Chinese miners would become known as the most industrious and tireless of the miners, finding gold in claims that previous owners had thought depleted and persisting in mining an area far longer than others who eventually left the fields altogether. 
  In many ways, this represented the start of an influx of immigrants coming from Asia to the United States, kicking off an often turbulent relationship and history that would lead to alienation, conflicts, immigration quotas, and more. This book looks at that history from the start, and how it affected those who came from Asia in the 19th century.
