  Between World War II and 1980, tens of thousands of Black people moved to Boston from the South as part of the Great Migration, one of the most consequential mass movements of people in American history. Black migration from the South transformed the city, as it did urban areas across the country. North to Boston is the first book to examine that important subject. 
   
   
   
  Blake Gumprecht traces the history of this migration and explores its impacts in greater depth through the lives of ten individuals, each the subject of one chapter. Those chapters are short biographies based on extensive interviews by the author and are told in an engaging style that reflects the author's background as a journalist. 
   
   
   
  The ten people featured came from six southern states. They fled racism, limited opportunity, and hopelessness, and moved north in pursuit of better jobs, equal treatment, and greater freedom. They settled in neighborhoods such as Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. They worked as teachers, factory workers, welders, and security guards. Their stories are emblematic of the experiences of Black people everywhere who left the South, and provide a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary people living in one city's Black community.

  Supremachist Constructions of...

  Sergio Yagüe-Pasamón

  Is male 'supremachism' really over? The pages you are holding in your hands sow doubts on the common belief that the governance of 'the macho' came to its end. As the proverb confirms, 'the old dies hard', despite the yet-to-improve individual and institutional efforts to achieve gender equality. With the serious tone this capital issue requires, the author debunks the myth of male supremacism as a phenomenon from a past and raises awareness of the subliminal survival of the supremachist ideological apparatus. Subtlety reveals as a key factor for the survival of subliminal supremachist campaigns, which threatens a promising future of non-discrimination. Essentially, democratic citizenship must pose itself a crucial question: Are current Western societies' concessions to feminism genuine or a cover by supremachism to survive in an ideologically volatile world?

  Victories Never Last - Reading...

  In any time of disruption or grief, many of us seek guidance in the work of great writers who endured similar circumstances. During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, historian and biographer Robert Zaretsky did the same while also working as a volunteer in a nursing home in south Texas. In Victories Never Last Zaretsky weaves his reflections on the pandemic siege of his nursing home with the testimony of six writers on their own times of plague: Thucydides, Marcus Aurelius, Michel de Montaigne, Daniel Defoe, Mary Shelley, and Albert Camus, whose novel The Plague provides the title of this book. 
   
   
    
  Zaretsky delves into these writers to uncover lessons that can provide deeper insight into our pandemic era. At the same time, he goes beyond the literature to invoke his own experience of the tragedy that enveloped his Texas nursing home, one which first took the form of chronic loneliness and then, inevitably, the deaths of many residents whom we come to know through Zaretsky's stories. In doing so, Zaretsky shows the power of great literature to connect directly to one's own life in a different moment and time. 
   
   
    
  For all of us still struggling to comprehend this pandemic and its toll, this book serves as a thoughtful and down-to-earth guide to the many ways we can come to know and make peace with human suffering.
