  The Great Refusal - A New Vision...

  In the tradition of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me, bell hook’s All About Love, and even James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time, comes a groundbreaking blend of personal and political commentary from acclaimed memoirist Casey Gerald, offering an iconoclastic reframe of resistance and rebellion to meet the current moment and remake the world on our terms. In 2019, 400 years after the first Africans were stolen and brought to American shores for enslavement, Casey Gerald made a bold and controversial proclamation on national television: “We’ve been given strategies to make it in this country, to endure this land… but there’s another very important tradition that each person has the right and opportunity and perhaps, at this very urgent moment, the responsibility to reclaim, and that is the strategy of flight, of escape.” His interviewer, Michel Martin, asked, “Where are we going?”The Great Refusal is the answer to Martin’s apt question. In a short yet powerful volume, Gerald maps the path forward, calling on the works of Black luminaries, writers, and activists, as well as his own experience stepping back from the limelight and reassessing our current strategies of resistance and endurance. He implores us to tend to our inner resources and restrengthen our own worlds. Much resistance, he argues, is an inherent dialogue with the oppressor, playing on their battlefield, a defense to their offensive. (He is a former football star, after all.) Now, again, we find ourselves on the shorelines of destruction. The strategies we’ve been taught – assimilation, respectability politics, meritocracy – are stalling out or degrading us further. What would rebellion look like if we stepped out of this cycle and imagined a different world, one on our terms? Marginalized Americans are in a gridlock fight for dignity in a system that is hellbent on never granting it. It’s time we understood our power, our peace, and our needs, and built them on our own instead of begging for scraps. Gerald offer’s a way — one that saved him, just as it once saved his forebears: the great refusal.

  Freeing Teresa - A True Story...

  When an idealistic activist objects to her siblings’ plan to ship their disabled sister off to a nursing home, she’s forced to choose between family and her sister’s freedom. 
  A riveting and inspiring true story brought to life by a cast of over a dozen actors, including Jackie Blackmore, Lauren Potter, and Dayleigh Nelson. 
  TRIGGER WARNING: This story deals with dysfunctional family relationships and ableist attitudes, which some readers may find upsetting. 
  Franke James is an environmental activist who got into trouble in her own backyard—family trouble. She objected when she heard her siblings’ plan to put their disabled sister, Teresa Heartchild, into a nursing home. Teresa, who has Down syndrome, refused to go. But the other siblings insisted and secretly put Teresa into an institution for end-of-life care. 
  Teresa was in shock. Franke was horrified and organized a rescue. That’s when all hell broke loose. The two sisters had to stand together—against their siblings, the medical system, and the police—to defend Teresa’s right to be free. 
  This is a true story about a key civil rights issue for all people with disabilities—the right to decide where you live. 
  PRAISE for Freeing Teresa 
  “The result is more than a memoir: it’s a testimony to how ‘tickets to freedom’ are gained through fighting and love.” 
  D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review 
  “Gut-wrenching and awe-inspiring. This story will break your heart and then fill it up again.” 
  Catherine McKercher, author of Shut Away 
  “A gripping story about courage, love, and an unshakeable belief in human potential.” 
  Marty Seldman, Ph.D. author of Survival of the Savvy

  When She Died - Michael Mish

  REVIEW 
  5.0 out of 5 stars If you feel alone in your suffering, this is the book to hold. 
  Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022 
  Verified Purchase 
  Somehow, Michael has been able to take the most searing loss and transform it into words that bless, comfort and inspire. Two other resources help me with grief: the movie: What Dreams May Come and the CD/book, Graceful Passages. When She Died stands powerfully beside these masterpieces. It brings understanding, order, and compassion to the unthinkable, shocking and unbearable nature of loss. 
  Mish's words are eloquent, and cut to the core nature of sorrow without trite religious platitudes, psychological jargon, or a hint of falsehood. One receives a road map through the horrific shock of loss, and a steady guide to light your way. 
  The writing is clean and clear. Even if you're not currently dealing with a fresh grief, reading Michael's intimate reactions will touch and teach. 
  It is not maudlin or cloying. When She Died is clean, clear and clarifying. Furthermore, its a "page turner." 
  Couldn't put it down. Read in one sitting.

  I Dream with Open Eyes - A Memoir

  George Prochnik

  Whatever the ideological slant of our information feeds, nowadays we all share a sense of binge-watching the apocalypse. Facing so much uncertainty, we need a language for thinking about the unknown not simply as a threat but also as a space of fertile possibility. George Prochnik has chosen to reflect on these urgent themes through the lens of a personal narrative: an account of his own family's decision to leave the United States. 
   
   
   
  I Dream with Open Eyes begins with an exploration of Prochnik's ancestral past: the pilgrimage of his mother's family, who were among the first English settlers in the New World. In the aftermath of the 2016 election, a parallel migration unfolds as Prochnik, along with his wife and their son, makes the decision to uproot their lives in New York to move to England. 
   
   
   
  A deep critique of this current moment, Prochnik takes the words of nineteenth-century poet Heinrich Heine, "I dream with open eyes, and my eyes see," as an inspiration to ask how, as a society, we might use art and literature to refract and expand our vision of the future, while simultaneously generating a new focus on present realities.
