  In Homegrown, cultural critics Bell Hooks and Amalia Mesa-Bains reflect on the innate solidarity between Black and Latino culture. Riffing on everything from home and family to multiculturalism and the mass media, Hooks and Mesa-Bains invite listeners to re-examine and confront the polarizing mainstream discourse about Black-Latino relationships that is too often negative in its emphasis on political splits between people of color. A work of activism through dialogue, Homegrown is a declaration of solidarity that rings true even ten years after its first publication. 
   
  This new edition includes a new afterword, in which Mesa-Bains reflects on the changes, conflicts, and criticisms of the last decade.

  It is difficult to imagine a more heinous crime than the sexual abuse of children. Yet, terrifyingly, a new case of child sexual abuse is reported every seven minutes. In response to this crisis, self-appointed groups of citizens are fashioning themselves as pedophile hunters." Operating outside the law, these groups use social media to bait and expose those seeking to engage children sexually, both on- and offline. Their work has been remarkably effective, but at what cost? Following four years of unprecedented access to the UK's most prolific team of pedophile hunters, Mark de Rond offers balanced and insightful answers to the perplexing question of why these groups persist in using extreme methods to hold predators to account in view of less harmful alternatives. In doing so, he invites us to consider the societal impacts of pedophile hunters on our laws and institutions, as well as societal cohesion and safety.

  The American Revolution - A...

  The path leading to the American Revolution was shaped by a series of escalating conflicts between the British Crown and its colonies. Tensions began to rise in the mid-18th century as Britain sought to assert more control over its American territories. After the costly French and Indian War, Britain faced a significant national debt and turned to its colonies as a source of revenue. The imposition of new taxes on the colonies, including the Sugar Act of 1764 and the Stamp Act of 1765, marked the beginning of widespread discontent. These laws were seen by many colonists as an infringement on their rights, as they had no direct representation in the British Parliament. The rallying cry of "no taxation without representation" became a powerful slogan for those opposing the British measures. 
  In response to these policies, the colonists began organizing protests. The Stamp Act Congress of 1765 was a significant early attempt at collective action, bringing together representatives from nine colonies to challenge the Stamp Act. The colonists boycotted British goods, and the resistance movement began to take shape. The British government responded by repealing the Stamp Act in 1766, but the damage had already been done. The colonists had tasted the power of collective action, and their resistance continued to grow. 
  In the following years, Britain enacted other measures that further exacerbated tensions. The Townshend Acts of 1767, which imposed duties on glass, paper, and tea, were met with widespread opposition. Colonists viewed these taxes as another attempt to control them without their consent. The Boston Massacre of 1770, in which British soldiers killed five colonists during a confrontation, further fueled anger and resentment. The event was widely publicized by colonial leaders like Samuel Adams, who used it as a propaganda tool to rally support for the cause of independence.

  Dara Shukoh - The Man Who Would...

  Dara Shukoh -- the emperor Shah Jahan's favourite son, and heir-apparent to the Mughal throne prior to being defeated by Aurangzib -- has sometimes been portrayed as an effete prince, incompetent in military and administrative matters. But his tolerance towards other faiths, and the myths and anecdotes surrounding him, continue to fuel the popular imagination. Even today, over 350 years after his death, the debate rages on: if this 'good' Mughal had ascended the throne instead of his pugnacious younger brother, how would that have changed the course of Indian history? Dara Shukoh: The Man Who Would Be King brings to life the story of this enigmatic Mughal prince. Rich in historical detail and psychological insight, it brilliantly recreates a bygone age, and presents an empathetic and engaging portrait of the crown prince who was, in many ways, clearly ahead of his times.
