Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “The fights against hunger, homelessness, poverty, health disparities, poor schools, homophobia, transphobia, and domestic violence are feminist fights. Kendall offers a feminism rooted in the livelihood of everyday women.” —Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist, in The Atlantic “One of the most important books of the current moment.”—Time “A rousing call to action... It should be required reading for everyone.”—Gabrielle Union, author of We’re Going to Need More Wine A potent and electrifying critique of today’s feminist movement announcing a fresh new voice in black feminism Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others? In her searing collection of essays, Mikki Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement, arguing that it has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few women. Drawing on her own experiences with hunger, violence, and hypersexualization, along with incisive commentary on reproductive rights, politics, pop culture, the stigma of mental health, and more, Hood Feminism delivers an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux. An unforgettable debut, Kendall has written a ferocious clarion call to all would-be feminists to live out the true mandate of the movement in thought and in deed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects poor black America’s human condition and cruel reality historically in this country. Most poor people and people of color see enough of life’s dark side to know for sure what’s really going on. All of the social double standards and blatant contradictions that continue to define the democratic process for most of America’s poor and forgotten people of color, still finds the American Dream to be a figment of their imaginations. This book is meant to show how American History is merely his story. The powers that be continue to impose their will on much smaller nations decade after decade in the name of freedom and democracy. Yet, nothing about our might makes right, preemptive strike mentalities has changed most poor Americans lifestyles. If anything it has merely reduced the level of comfort and security most people in this country live in daily, by heightening our nation’s risk of being attacked. So the fear factor continues to control what really goes on in this country from decade to decade. This is why our nation will never be a genuine United States of America.

After 150 years, many unsolved mysteries and enduring urban legends still surround the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by the popular stage actor John Wilkes Booth. In a new look at the case, award-winning history author Robert J. Hutchinson (The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Bible) explores what we know, and don’t know, about what really happened at Ford’s Theatre on the night of April 14, 1865. In addition, he argues that the deep-seated political hatreds that roiled Washington, D.C., in the final weeks of the Civil War are particularly relevant to our own polarized age. Among the tantalizing questions Hutchinson explores are: * Did the Confederacy have a hand in the assassination plot? * Who were Booth’s secret accomplices, and why did he change the plan from kidnapping to assassination? * Why was it so easy for Booth to walk into the president’s box to shoot him? Where were the guards? * How did Booth evade the largest manhunt in U.S. history for nearly two weeks despite being unable to walk? * Who gave the order to shoot Booth in the Garrett barn—and what happened to his body? Drawing upon both primary sources and the best recent historical research, What Really Happened: The Lincoln Assassination separates established facts from mere conjectures—and is the one book to own if you want to know “what really happened.”

Book excerpt: HOOD LIVIN Ghetto Grace is about young black adults living in the hood from a realistic perspective. Its about pain, anger, and love. Hood Livin, touches on various aspects in which young adults are coming up in the so-called hood experience. Justice is twenty-four, and although its his last year of college, hes dealing with the problems of his ex-girlfriend leaving town with his young daughter and trying to come to terms with his mothers illness and his responsibility to his best friends little brother. At the same time, he falls in love with a young sister. Kisha is twenty-three and just broke up with her boyfriend when she caught him playing on her. Shes the third oldest of seven children. Her mothers early death forced her to become the woman of the house and to care for a drunkard father. Regg had his first year of college at eighteen. Hes trying to cope with his brothers death and being an adult teenager. He realizes its not all that easy, nor is it what he expected. Coco is Kishas best friend, and shes having her own issues. Her only brother is in prison, and shes caught up in a relationship that is not healthy for her. Her boyfriend is the leader of the local drug-selling gang who values the chase of that paper more than her life. Crime is the leader of the Bishops. He is all about that money and making sure he and his people eat. He doesnt care what he has to do to get it or who he has to kill in order to keep his spots up and flowing. As each deals with their own independent issues and drama, living in the hood, the streets of reality draw them together in one way or another. Ten years earlier, Justice witnessed the murder of his best friend and partner Rakim by a member of a rival gang. He took that as a wake-up call and reality check. Justice decided to get himself on the right track and try to avoid the calls of the streets. But when his late partners brother dies, the call can no longer be ignored.

Book excerpt: It Was All a Dream by B. MAC It Was All a Dream captures the mind of people who love music, comedy and family gatherings. In the hood, there is always that one dude who is trying to be successful in the music industry, but has it hard finding his way. Most of the time, he is better than a lot of the artists in the business. However, he lacks resources and the right promotion. No matter what, his hunger won’t let him quit. He will stop at nothing to be successful; even if it means rap wars, constant battles, club fights and gun play. It Was All a Dream is a work of fiction that everyone from the ghetto can relate to. Most people in the rap industry will agree with the hardship of being successful, while others will act as if it simple. But the challenge the artist and producer go through in this book would make any real up-and-coming artist laugh and wonder, at the same time, if he or she really wants to be an artist.

Book excerpt: I wasn't supposed to fall in love with a werewolf, but he wasn't supposed to break my heart. But he did, and I can either wallow in misery for the rest of my life, or accept that being named after Little Red doesn't mean I have to remake all her mistakes. There's a world out there that doesn't know anything about fated mates, ancient vampire bloodlines, or hoods who magically control silver and have a permanent stick up their butts. (Or at least, the ones in my family do.) A world where I'm not constantly harangued by my mother to finally become the "wolf watcher" I was born to be and assume my rightful place at her side. And it's a world I'm growing to love, with its quirky humans, awesome Thai dumplings, and total lack of lupines... until the night an English werewolf shows up out of the blue and saves my life. All Tobias Somfield wants in return is a little help to track down some vampires. Only, what we discover when we do opens up our eyes to an entirely different kind of destiny. One that was laid down centuries ago when a warrior in a red hood and the alpha werewolf who loved her betrayed their own kind, creating enemies across the entire supernatural world in the process. Or was that really what happened at all, and will the truth, once revealed, save us or lead to our doom? And can we find some great kebabs some where along the way? The Red Chronicles is a mythpunked urban fantasy series spiked with comedy, mystery, and yes, a little romance along the way. Fur up and fly along!

Book excerpt: An inventive novel, Make It, Take It sneaks the reader past the press conferences, locker rooms, and huddles of college basketball. Without judgment or sentimentality, Rus Bradburd lays bare the web of conflicts between players and coaches, blacks and whites, revealing the complex humanity of a team’s inner circle. Here, every choice has a very real cost. Steve Pytel is an assistant coach and top recruiter for a university basketball program. His goals are simple. He wants to keep his job and be a head coach someday. Keeping his wife barely makes the list. The team staggers; everyone’s days are numbered. Pytel was responsible for landing prized recruits Leonard Redmond and Jamal Davis. Pytel’s duties now? Keep Leonard out of jail. Make sure Jamal ignores the advice of his preacher, sidesteps his girlfriend’s pregnancy, and puts the ball in the basket. Good thing Pytel doesn’t carry around a bagful of scruples. Rus Bradburd is the author of the controversial Forty Minutes of Hell: The Extraordinary Life of Nolan Richard (HarperCollins/Amistad) and a memoir, Paddy on the Hardwood: A Journey in Irish Hoops (University of New Mexico Press). He spent fourteen years as a college basketball coach, working for legends Don Haskins and Lou Henson. A regular contributor to SLAM Magazine, his essays have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Houston Chronicle, and Chicago’s SouthtownStar. He is married to poet Connie Voisine. They live in New Mexico and Chicago, Illinois.

Book excerpt: Jack O'Brien, the impossibly demanding basketball coach at Charlestown High School in Boston, has led his team to five state championship titles in six years. Less talked about is O'Brien's other winning record: Nearly every one of the players who stuck with his program -- poor kids growing up in high-crime neighborhoods and saddled with the lousy educational system available in urban America -- managed to get to college. But O'Brien is no saint. Saints give without expecting anything in return. O'Brien needs his players and their problems as much as they need him. Revolving around fascinating, complex characters, The Assist is a captivating narrative of a basketball team in pursuit of a championship that also drills down into the legacy of desegregation and explores issues of education, family, and race. O'Brien is a middle-aged white guy coaching an all-black team playing in an all-white neighborhood that three decades ago was at the center of the busing wars dividing cities across the country -- a time and place indelibly described in J. Anthony Lukas's powerful book Common Ground. It's the inspiring story of a man who makes a difference, and of boys surmounting nearly impossible odds; it is also the story of the ones who don't make it, and why.

Book excerpt: Urban Books’ popular Girls From da Hood series is back, bringing readers more dramatic tales about the lives of some tough, resourceful women who can hold their own when things get rough on the streets. This time, family bonds are put to the test. Jakki and School Boy are more than first cousins; they’re best friends and partners in crime with a reputation for getting theirs by any means necessary. The pair are ultimately forced to defend not only their family name but their loyalty to each other. With both wanting to stand at the head of the table, Jakki and School Boy feud, proving that there’s definitely no honor amongst thieves—family or not. Sanaa, a well-known gambling house owner, is at the top of her game, but after she decides to inject phony currency into her business, all hell breaks loose. Guns are drawn and opposing forces take sides. Luckily for Sanaa, her father and her brothers are well versed in the operations of the underworld. With millions of dollars still to be claimed, all the wolves come out, and the hunting season begins. Will the love of that mean green shatter families and friends, or will the players prove that money can't buy everything? With a gritty and promiscuous reputation, Star is indeed her mother’s child. When she meets Rello, a low-level hustler selling dreams of a better life, Star jumps at the opportunity to lock him down. However, when the connect’s package comes up short, Star’s lies start to unravel, and the true intentions of this wannabe wifey-to-a-kingpin are revealed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a model of critique useful in readers advisory, collection development, and book clubs, this title encourages the inclusion of young adult titles advancing a positive representation of girls in programming and instruction. Even in an era in which there are multiple and wide-ranging conversations about representations of diverse groups in literature, the depiction of girls in young adult literature has received inadequate attention. This text provides a model for understanding how girls are represented in young adult literature that will aid school and youth services librarians in their personal understanding and awareness as they build collections and create programming. It provides practical suggestions for how to use and implement a feminist lens while reading, discussing, and reviewing titles. Included are a list of recommended annotated titles and discussion questions for use in developing appropriate instructional and interesting programs that explore concepts of girlhood, media literacy programs, and diverse collections.
