Book Description
This is an in-depth peek into the life and time of an old black woman. This is not the courageous Ms. Jane Pittman, but another old black woman takes on our America. From the mother of all nations to the sons and daughters of all nations, she reveals moments in history that allow this America to preserve with all its imperfections. From America's famous and infamous celebrities, politicians, and news media to some of the most powerful figures in the world, such as our presidents, some will find this work offensive even to older black ladies and even more so to elderly white men. Yet it is an informative and thought-provoking--a must-read.

Book Description
Gender Revolution carefully examines the profound transformations happening in both public and private arenas of gender relations. It also draws critical attention to the simultaneous and potent challenges that have risen in response. The authors look to large-scale phenomena in this contemporary study and address how electoral politics and the #MeToo movement are reshaping everyday life. This gender revolution has led to a culture in which women, and increasing numbers of men, refuse to accept traditional gender norms and gender inequalities. People of all genders no longer tolerate abuses of power in politics or in their interpersonal relationships. Despite vigorous resistance, women are seizing power and refusing to back down, in ways both large and small. The authors note on the one hand that people of all genders in support of these transformations are voting for progressive candidates, engaging on social media, and making their interpersonal relationships more equal. On the other hand, they document considerable backlash and contestation, as some people are resisting these changes and creating adversarial gender divisions. Probing across these issues, the book develops an analysis of gendered social and cultural change that reveals how movement ideas diffuse into broader culture. Gender Revolution presents a vibrant and essential study for a moment marked by significant changes to attitudes, beliefs, and views surrounding gender and gender relations and will appeal to readers interested in the scholarly study of gender, society, politics, media, law, and culture.

Book Description
In spite of the double burden of racial and gender discrimination, African-American women have developed a rich intellectual tradition that is not widely known. In Black Feminist Thought, Patricia Hill Collins explores the words and ideas of Black feminist intellectuals as well as those African-American women outside academe. She provides an interpretive framework for the work of such prominent Black feminist thinkers as Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Audre Lorde. The result is a superbly crafted book that provides the first synthetic overview of Black feminist thought.

Book Description
Then They Came for the Journalists Will Bristol never intended to be editor-in-chief of Eyewitness News in downtown Portland. He had planned to coast through his senior year as an investigative reporter, build his portfolio and go out to a newspaper somewhere to start his career. When there was no one else to do but an unqualified white supremacist who wanted to dismantle the newsroom piece by piece, Will knew he had to step up. He was terrified he wasn't good enough, however. The white supremacists that had infiltrated the university campus security weren't done. Not by a long shot. This is a boxed set of books in Newsroom PDX, a series about a college newsroom in downtown Portland during some of the most tumultuous times the city has ever faced. Meet Will Bristol, the reluctant editor-in-chief, Bianca Parks, whose face on the nightly news has made her a target, and Ben Waters, who has always done what his tribe has asked, even now, when he's asked to come home. Welcome to PDX Year 2, books 1-3, now out in an omnibus.
