169983 EAN 9781250787019 As a brown immigrant from Mexico, assimilation had been demanded of Julissa since the moment she set foot in San Antonio, Texas, in 1994. In this dual polemic and manifesto, Julissa dives into and tears apart the lie that assimilation leads to belonging. She combs through history and her own story to break down this myth, arguing that assimilation is a moving finish line designed to keep Black and brown Americans and immigrants chasing racist American ideals.

101178 EANChollet explores three types of women who were 9781250271419 Celebrated feminist writer Mona accused of witchcraft and persecuted: the independent woman, since widows and celibates were particularly targeted; the childless woman, since the time of the hunts marked the end of tolerance for those who claimed to control their fertility; and the elderly woman, who has always been an object of at best, pity, and at worst, horror. With fiery prose and arguments that range from the scholarly to the cultural, 'In Defense of Witches' seeks to unite the mythic image of the witch with modern women who seek to live their lives on their own terms.

This Has Always Been a War: The Radicalization of a Working Class Queer Lori Fox 106524 EAN 9781551528779 Capitalism has infiltrated every aspect of our personal, social, economic, and sexual lives. By examining the politics of gender, environment, and sexuality, we can see the ways straight, cis, white, and especially male upper-class people control and subvert the other - queer, non-binary, BIPOC, and female bodies - in order to keep the working lower classes divided. In applying the micro to the macro, demonstrating how the personal is political and vice versa, Fox exposes the flaws in believing that this is the only way our society can or should work. Brash, topical, and passionate, this is not only a collection of essays, but a series of dispatches from the combative front lines of our present-day culture.
