    A new progressive generation is on the rise in the United States, reflected in the mushrooming rolls of the Democratic Socialists of America (90,000 mostly twentysomething members), Marxist explainers in Teen Vogue, and perhaps most famously of all, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. 
     
     
     
    The Rise of a New American Left is the first book to look closely at this new politics. Propelled by interviews with AOC and the other key figures and organizations that have shaken up American politics, the book includes portraits of groups like Democratic Socialists of America, the Sunrise Movement, and Justice Democrats, explaining who they are, where they come from, and what they want. Investigating the panoply of strategies employed by the new movements and their relationships to politicians from Bernie Sanders to Nancy Pelosi, the book describes how the generational focus on insurgent electoral campaigns both aims to transform the Democratic Party and threatens to be captured by it. 
     
     
     
    Written with panache by a member of this rising generation, this book immerses the listener in a youth culture the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Sixties.

    A One-Stop Guide to Museum Careers  
    People who love art, are fascinated by archaeology, or are history buffs may have considered the idea of working in a museum. But experience as a museum visitor reveals only the public-facing side of the museum, and not its complex, dynamic internal structure. So You Want to Work in A Museum? helps to demystify museums as institutions and to prepare prospective museum staff to explore the field further. 
    After reading this book, readers will be able to:  
    Understand how non-profit museums are governed, funded, and staffed, and how they define and meet their missions.Explore museum divisions and departments and specific roles within them--not just prominent roles like directors and curators, but also less visible ones like registrars, preparators, development officers, conservators, and more. 
    Consider the contemporary function of museums, and how yesterday's cabinets of curiosity have evolved into today's community catalysts. Examine how the contemporary function of museums has affected the types of positions available and the work museum staff do on a daily basis. 
    Look at the skills required for different types of positions, and how readers aspiring to work in those positions can best prepare themselves to land their dream jobs and be successful in them. 
    Understand the benefits and potential challenges of working in a museum, and 
    Access a wealth of resources that will inspire further study of the field, and outline next steps to pursue a museum career.

    Growing up in the Deep South of the USA during the tumultuous 1960s and 1970s, Sidney Kate’s early life was marked by turbulence and uncertainty. Born into a complex, blended family, her journey unfolds against a backdrop of racial tension, gender inequality, and intergenerational challenges. 
    Through her collection of stories, Sidney Kate explores coming of age during a time of profound change. She delves into the complexities of family dynamics and the struggles faced by a young woman determined to break free from societal constraints. Set against the often harsh realities of the times, this book brings to life the characteristics that defined each era. 
    As we follow Sidney Kate’s journey, we witness her remarkable resilience in the face of adversity, as she deals with abuse, sexual promiscuity, abortion, and the unique challenges of raising a gifted neurodivergent child. She also negotiates the highs and lows of marriage and divorce—her one constant throughout being her unwavering rebellion against the stifling norms of her time. 
    Sidney Kate’s life serves as an inspiring reminder that there is always room for hope, even in the darkest of times. One’s learning experiences never cease. Together, these stories constitute a poignant exploration of nature versus nurture, from birth to loss, as well as a testament to the indomitable strength of the human spirit.
