Shadows of Salem - Witch Hunts...

Davis Truman

In 1692, a small Puritan community in Massachusetts became the stage for one of the darkest episodes in American history. The Salem Witch Trials, fueled by superstition, religious zeal, and the fear of the unknown, led to over 150 accusations, countless shattered lives, and the executions of innocent men and women. But beyond the gallows and confessions lies a deeper story, one of resistance, power, and the origins of collective fear in America. 
In Shadows of Salem, readers are taken inside the trials to witness how hysteria spread, how law was bent to justify injustice, and how individuals, like Giles Corey, chose silence and suffering over submission. Drawing on historical records, legal precedents, and cultural analysis, this book uncovers how Salem’s legacy shaped America’s enduring relationship with fear, authority, and social control. 
From the use of spectral evidence to the crushing weight of peine forte et dure, Shadows of Salem explores not just what happened in 1692, but why it continues to haunt the American imagination. It is a story of mass panic and manipulation, but also of defiance and resilience, an essential lens for understanding both the past and the patterns of fear that still echo in modern society. 
Perfect for readers of history, law, and cultural studies, Shadows of Salem offers a compelling examination of how hysteria becomes power, and how silence can be the most powerful act of resistance.

Airplane Mode - An Irreverent...

Shahnaz Habib

Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medals of Excellence 
 
 
 
The conditions of travel have long been dictated by the color of passports and the color of skin. 
 
 
 
The color of one's skin and passport have long dictated the conditions of travel.  For Shahnaz Habib, travel and travel writing have always been complicated pleasures. Habib threads the history of travel with her personal story as a child on family vacations in India, an adult curious about the world, and an immigrant for whom roundtrips are an annual fact of life. Tracing the power dynamics that underlie tourism, this insightful debut parses who gets to travel, and who gets to write about the experience. 
 
 
 
Threaded through the book are inviting and playful analyses of obvious and not-so-obvious travel artifacts: passports, carousels, bougainvilleas, guidebooks, trains, the idea of wanderlust itself. Together, they tell a subversive history of travel as a Euro-American mode of consumerism—but as any traveler knows, travel is more than that. As an immigrant whose loved ones live across continents, Habib takes a deeply curious and joyful look at a troubled and beloved activity.
