The authors, a diverse group of historians, journalists, and eyewitnesses, collectively convey the urgency and gravity of the Armenian plight.

Their commitment to unearthing historical truths is evident through meticulous research and sourcing, revealing the complexities of identity and survival in the face of adversity. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to grasp the historical roots of contemporary ethnic tensions and humanitarian issues. It stands as a crucial educational resource, fostering awareness, empathy, and understanding that transcends time, making it an indispensable addition to the library of anyone interested in human rights and historical justice.

    Personal boundaries are the restrictions and norms we set for ourselves within relationships. Healthy boundaries allow people to say "no" to others when necessary. Still, they are also comfortable with closeness and personal connections. This restriction determines what we are ready to accept (or reject) as a suitable and safe method for others to engage with us. We may set personal limits for everyone we contact and specific boundaries for certain individuals at other times. Setting expectations begins with knowing and establishing your boundaries via your words and actions.  
Setting healthy personal boundaries is necessary for maintaining a positive self-concept or self-image. With this Quick and Easy Guide to Building Better Boundaries, you will learn the effectiveness of your boundaries, identify various boundary types, and identify methods to enhance them.

    Drawing from over twenty years of activism on local and national levels, this striking book offers an organizer's perspective on the intersections of immigrant rights, racial justice, and prison abolition. 
 
 
 
In the wake of post-9/11 xenophobia, Obama's record-level deportations, Trump's immigration policies, and the 2020 uprisings for racial justice, the US remains entrenched in a circular discourse regarding migrant justice. As organizer Silky Shah argues in Unbuild Walls, we must move beyond building nicer cages or advocating for comprehensive immigration reform. Our only hope for creating a liberated society for all, she insists, is abolition. 
 
 
 
Unbuild Walls dives into US immigration policy and its relationship to mass incarceration, showing how the prison-industrial complex and immigration enforcement are intertwined systems of repression. Incorporating historical and legal analyses, Shah's personal experience as an organizer, as well as stories of people, campaigns, organizations, and localities that have resisted detention and deportation, Shah assesses the movement's strategies, challenges, successes, and shortcomings. Featuring a foreword by Amna A. Akbar, Unbuild Walls is an expansive and radical intervention, bridging the gaps between movements for immigrant rights, racial justice, and prison abolition.

    Our economy is designed by the 1 percent, for the 1 percent. This book offers a compelling vision of an equitable, ecologically sustainable alternative that meets the essential needs of all people. 
 
Seventy-one percent of the American people say the economy is rigged against them, and they're right. Marjorie Kelly and Ted Howard describe the current economic system as the Extractive Economy-it enables the financial elite to extract maximum gain for themselves, heedless of any damage to people or planet. As an alternative, they offer the Democratic Economy, which is responsive to the concerns of ordinary people and balances human consumption with the regenerative capacity of the earth. 
 
Kelly and Howard lay out seven principles of a Democratic Economy: Community, Inclusion, Place (keeping wealth local), Good Work (putting labor before capital), Democratized Ownership, Ethical Finance, and Sustainability. The book pairs each principle with a portrait of a place where it is being put into practice, from Pine Ridge to Portland to Cleveland to Preston, England, and more. This is a powerful, coherent, and achievable vision of an economy that serves the many, not the few.

    Darwin longgrassers have been living large since the beginning. They come from all over the Territory to camp in the public spaces around town, to catch up with family and friends, attend health and legal matters, holiday and shop, and drink. Especially drink. And the whitefellas don’t like it. They think they’re noisy and dirty and rude. So, they try to move them on. 
For 150 years they’ve been trying to move them on. But the longgrassers won’t go. Yet beneath this running battle between the settled and the free lurks an undeniable truth about colonisation that is almost Newtonian in style. This is a story of resilience and denial against outrageous odds, an underdog’s triumph of survival in the modern world, for a people who just refuse to give in
