Sinossi

Simon Dubnow's monumental work, "History of the Jews in Russia and Poland," spans three volumes and offers a comprehensive examination of the multifaceted Jewish experience in Eastern Europe. Dubnow delves into the intricate socio-political landscape, employing a narrative style that is both scholarly and accessible. The text meticulously chronicles the evolution of Jewish communities, highlighting their cultural contributions and the challenges they faced across centuries, from the early settlements to the modern era, within the broader context of Russian and Polish history. His rigorous historical method combines archival research with personal anecdotes, providing a rich, nuanced understanding of Jewish life. A prominent Jewish historian and a passionate advocate for Jewish nationalism, Simon Dubnow was deeply influenced by the tumultuous socio-political dynamics of his time. Born in 1860 in a period marked by upheaval, Dubnow's scholarly pursuits were rooted in a desire to assert Jewish identity and continuity amidst rising antisemitism. His commitment to documenting the experiences of Jewish communities reflects both personal and collective struggles, underlined by his own exile and the geopolitical shifts of his era. This essential work is recommended for anyone seeking insight into the rich tapestry of Jewish history within Eastern Europe.

Doing Nothing Is No Longer an...

Jenny Booth Potter

During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization. She decided that racism in all its forms—in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families–could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn't know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing is no longer an option. That declaration Jenny made to her peers was more than seven words uttered on a bus. It was a vow, a lifetime commitment to seek racial justice.
With candor and humility, Jenny shares her very imperfect but relentless journey of growing in awareness of racism, of reckoning with her own white privilege, and of learning how to be an antiracism advocate alongside her young family. If you're anything like Jenny was on that bus—overwhelmed by the enormity of racism and compelled to do something, but uncertain if you can actually make any difference—then this book is for you. Join Jenny and see for yourself what everyday antiracism looks like.

Skirts - Fashioning Modern...

Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell

In a sparkling social history, Skirts traces the shifting roles of women over the twentieth century through the era's most iconic and influential dresses. 
 
 
 
While the story of women's liberation has often been framed by the growing acceptance of pants over the twentieth century, the most important and influential female fashions of the era featured skirts. Suffragists and soldiers marched in skirts; the heroines of the Civil Rights Movement took a stand in skirts. As women made strides towards equality in the vote, the workforce, and the world at large, their wardrobes evolved with them. 
 
 
 
Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell's Skirts looks at the history of twentieth-century womenswear through the lens of game-changing styles like the little black dress and the Bar Suit, as well as more obscure innovations like the Taxi dress or the Pop-Over dress, which came with a matching potholder. These influential garments illuminate the times in which they were first worn—and the women who wore them—while continuing to shape contemporary fashion and even opening the door for a genderfluid future of skirts. At once an authoritative work of history and a delightfully entertaining romp through decades of fashion, Skirts charts the changing fortunes, freedoms, and aspirations of women themselves.
