Book Description
Part biography, part health education, part social commentary, this 132-page paperback explores the candid, controversial life and unconventional pathology skills of noted healer and nutritionist Dr. Sebi. Written in interview style and published on the 20th anniversary of Dr. Sebi's acquittal by the New York Supreme Court, Seven Days in Usha Village: A Conversation with Dr. Sebi, exposes readers to the healer's updated views on health and nutrition as he speaks from his native home Honduras, Central America. Beverly Oliver, the book's editor, tape recorded the seven-day interview in November 2005. She chose excerpts that shed light on Dr. Sebi's 25-year relationship with community activists, political leaders and celebrities, including Michael Jackson and the late hip hop singer Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. The book also includes Dr. Sebi's relentless appeals to Black Americans specifically, and more broadly the general public, to change generations of harmful food consumption. The book's glossary contains chemical and botanical definitions as well as descriptions of historical figures in music, education, health, religion, and philosophy.

Dr. Sebi Speaks of Dembali

Book Description
Dr. Sebi Speaks of Dembali, a nonfiction book, while part memoir and instructive, is steeped in the observations of alkaline herbal medicine specialist Dr. Sebi, who was legally named Alfredo D. Bowman. Dembali, a phrase Dr. Sebi coined to address why people reject the good in matters of health, race, family, and culture, is the lens through which he observed these challenges. Dembali is the same lens he viewed solutions, which are embedded in the insightful and thought-provoking narrative of Dr. Sebi Speaks of Dembali. Within the pages he says, "And this is why for us to really get over, get over meaning what, from the state of disease to ease, that jump, that crossing over is called dembali." He introduced dembali and her themes to author Beverly Oliver in Honduras, Central America, surrounded by the rainforest of La Ceiba. In a style reminiscent of a fireside chat, the pair discussed not only his success healing his clients of AIDS, diabetes, and sickle cell anemia, but also the fact that as many have rejected his offerings as have accepted him. So how does he posthumously bring naysayers into an awareness of sustainable health and alkaline nutrition, respectful race and cultural relations, and good family tidings? Dr. Sebi Speaks of Dembali, in seven chapters, offers an answer.

In Defense of Housing
Author: Peter Marcuse
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1804294942
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
In every major city in the world there is a housing crisis. How did this happen and what can we do about it? Everyone needs and deserves housing. But today our homes are being transformed into commodities, making the inequalities of the city ever more acute. Profit has become more important than social need. The poor are forced to pay more for worse housing. Communities are faced with the violence of displacement and gentrification. And the benefits of decent housing are only available for those who can afford it. In Defense of Housing is the definitive statement on this crisis from leading urban planner Peter Marcuse and sociologist David Madden. They look at the causes and consequences of the housing problem and detail the need for progressive alternatives. The housing crisis cannot be solved by minor policy shifts, they argue. Rather, the housing crisis has deep political and economic roots—and therefore requires a radical response.
