  Who Pays for Diversity? - Why...

  How diversity initiatives harm employees of color by turning them into workplace commodities. 
    
  Diversity programs are under attack. Should those interested in racial justice fight to keep them, or might there be another way forward? Who Pays for Diversity? reveals the costs that employees of color pay under current programs by having their racial identities commodified to benefit white people and institutions. Oneya Fennell Okuwobi proposes fresh and thoughtful ways to reorient these initiatives, move beyond tokenism, and authentically center marginalized employees. 
    
  Drawing on accounts of employees from across the workplace spectrum, from corporations to churches to universities, Who Pays for Diversity? details how the optics of diversity programs undermine employees' competence while diminishing their well-being and workplace productivity. Okuwobi argues that diversity programs have been a costly detour on the path to racial justice, and getting back on track requires solutions that provide equity, dignity, and agency to all employees, instead of defending the status quo.  
    
  "Oneya Fennell Okuwobi brilliantly uncovers the hidden costs of diversity initiatives, challenging the superficiality of such programs and the burdens they place on people of color within so-called 'diverse' environments with a powerful, evidence-backed critique. This book is an essential read for anyone committed to creating genuine racial equity in workplaces and institutions."—Mary Murphy, Herman B. Wells Endowed Professor, Indiana University

  “Yes, master. I worship straight men.” 
  “Yeah…that’s a good boy.” Grant pets my hair like I’m some sort of dog. “It feels good to serve straight guys, doesn’t it?” 
  I kneel on the locker room floor, gazing up as the entire swim team surrounds me. Their tight speedos hug their fit, smooth bodies, causing my eyes to linger on the enormous shapes between their legs. 
  “Kiss his feet. Show how you feel about him,” Mike calls out. 
  I fall to the ground and begin my display of loyalty. Not long ago, I thought I liked girls, but these aggressive jocks showed me the truth. I’ll do anything for them—strip nude, drink their essence, let them all use my body… 
  I need to obey.

  Beyond Jefferson - The Hemingses...

  A global history of how Thomas Jefferson's descendants navigated the legacy of the Declaration of Independence on both sides of the color line 
   
   
    
  The Declaration of Independence identified two core principles—independence and equality—that defined the American Revolution and the nation forged in 1776. Jefferson believed that each new generation of Americans would have to look to the "experience of the present" rather than the "wisdom" of the past to interpret and apply these principles in new and progressive ways. 
   
   
    
  Historian Christa Dierksheide examines the lives and experiences of a rising generation of Jefferson's descendants, Black and white, illuminating how they redefined equality and independence in a world that was half a century removed from the American Revolution. The Hemingses and Randolphs moved beyond Jefferson and his eighteenth-century world, leveraging their own ideas and experiences in nineteenth-century Britain, China, Cuba, Mexico, and the American West to claim independence and equal rights in an imperial and slaveholding republic.

  The Dark Side of Introverts -...

  Introverts have long been misunderstood in a world that favors extroversion. Often seen as shy, antisocial, or even cold, they are frequently pressured to conform to society’s expectation of constant interaction and social engagement. However, introversion is far more complex than simply being quiet. It is a deeply ingrained personality trait that affects how individuals process thoughts, emotions, and experiences. While introverts possess many strengths, they also face unique challenges that are often overlooked. This book aims to explore the lesser-known struggles of introverts, shedding light on the psychological complexities that shape their lives. 
    
  One of the biggest misconceptions about introverts is that they dislike people. In reality, introverts are highly selective about their social interactions, often preferring deep, meaningful connections over surface-level conversations. Their energy is drained by excessive socialization, making them more inclined toward solitude and introspection. However, this need for alone time can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, especially in a world that values constant networking and outgoing personalities. The very traits that make introverts thoughtful and introspective can also cause them to struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion. 
    
  Despite their quiet nature, introverts experience a vast range of emotions, many of which remain unspoken. They tend to internalize their struggles, making it difficult for others to recognize when they are overwhelmed or in distress. This internalization can lead to anxiety, depression, and self-imposed isolation. Additionally, introverts often feel the pressure to adapt to extroverted norms, forcing themselves into uncomfortable social situations or pretending to be more outgoing than they truly are.

  In his work On Interpretation, Aristotle seeks to uncover the underlying principles of language and meaning. He begins by examining the nature of signs and symbols, and how they are used to communicate information. He then goes on to explore the relationship between language and reality, and how our understanding of words is shaped by our experience of the world. Ultimately, Aristotle concludes that language is a tool for understanding reality, and that its meaning is determined by the way we use it. Read in English, unabridged.
