  Demystifying forces of the state, gangs, and revolutionary violence. 
   
   
   
  In Gang Politics, Kristian Williams examines our society's understanding of social and political violence, what gets romanticized, misunderstood, or muddled. He explores the complex intersections between "gangs" of all sorts—cops and criminals, Proud Boys and Antifa, Panthers and skinheads—arguing that government and criminality are intimately related, often sharing critical features. As society becomes more polarized and conflict more common, Williams's analysis is a crucial corrective to our usual ideas about the role violence might or should play in our social struggles.

  City of Dignity - Christianity...

  City of Dignity illuminates how liberal Protestants quietly, yet indelibly, shaped the progressive ethics of postwar Los Angeles. 
    
  Contemporary Los Angeles is commonly seen as an American bulwark of progressive secular politics, a place that values immigration, equity, diversity, and human rights. But what accounts for the city’s embrace of such staunchly liberal values, which are more hotly contested in other parts of the country? The answer, Sean Dempsey reveals, lies not with those frequent targets of credit and blame—Democrats in Hollywood—but instead with liberal Protestants and other steadfast religious organizations of the postwar era. 
   
  As the Religious Right movement emerged in the 1970s, progressive religious activists quietly began promoting an ethical vision that made waves worldwide but saw the largest impact in its place of origin: metropolitan Los Angeles. At the center of this vision lay the concept of human dignity—entwining the integral importance of political and expressive freedom with the moral sanctity of the human condition—which suffused all of the political values that arose from it, whether tolerance, diversity, or equality of opportunity. The work of these religious organizations birthed such phenomena as the Sanctuary Movement—which provided safe haven for refugees fleeing conflict-torn Central America—and advocacy for the homeless, both of which became increasingly fraught issues amid the rising tides of neoliberalism and conservatism. City of Dignity explores how these interwoven spiritual and theological strands found common ground—and made common impacts—in the humanitarian ecosystem of one of America’s largest and most dynamic metro areas.

  The Flower of the House of Ming is a poetic and philosophical reflection by Manly P. Hall, first published in his periodical The All-Seeing Eye. Written with delicate insight and symbolic richness, this esoteric essay blends Chinese mysticism, alchemical allegory, and spiritual aspiration into a tale of transcendent beauty. 
  The “flower” of the Ming house is both literal and metaphorical—an emblem of purity, wisdom, and the highest virtues cultivated through inner discipline. As with many of Hall’s writings, it is a subtle initiation—a meditation for the student of spiritual philosophy to unlock with contemplation. 
  This new edition from Adultbrain Publishing preserves the elegance of Hall’s original words while presenting the text in a refined format for the modern seeker.
