As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets--among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident--people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children. Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead, Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream--and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in \"red\" America. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: why do the people who would seem to benefit most from \"liberal\" government intervention abhor the very idea?\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01knpxdkj61pjf2d20q5t5wtrj.jpg","LYQJWMxuxut7_NWBt7j[o#WBWBfR",2016,368,[238],{"id":239,"slug":240,"name":241},"01knpxdkhwpsmsprmh278vm6q3","arlie-russell-hochschild-4dxr","Arlie Russell Hochschild",[243,244,245,249],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":246,"name":247,"slug":248,"is_fiction":17},102,"Politics","politics",{"id":141,"name":142,"slug":143,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":99,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":252,"themes":253,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[60,103],[],{"id":255,"slug":256,"title":257,"description":258,"primary_cover_url":259,"cover_blurhash":260,"first_publish_year":261,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":262,"authors":263,"genres":268,"series":290,"enrichment":291},"01kjvg3t3cxx60a3we97jcr08v","roughing-it-z5e5","Roughing It","Mark Twain's semi-autobiographical account of his years as a miner and traveler in the American West during the 1860s — from the Nevada silver rush to a detour through San Francisco and Honolulu.

Times Book Prize Finalist** **A November LibraryReads Pick** Longtime NBC News reporter Char Adams writes a deeply compelling and rigorously reported history of Black political movements told through the lens of Black-owned bookstores, which have been centers for organizing from abolition to the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter. In Black-Owned, Char Adams celebrates the living history of Black bookstores. Packed with stories of activism, espionage, violence, community, and perseverance, Black-Owned starts with the first Black-owned bookstore, which an abolitionist opened in New York in 1834, and after the bookshop’s violent demise, Black book-lovers carried on its cause. In the twentieth century, civil rights and Black Power activists started a Black bookstore boom nationwide. Malcolm X gave speeches in front of the National Memorial African Book Store in Harlem—a place dubbed “Speakers’ Corner”—and later, Black bookstores became targets of FBI agents, police, and racist vigilantes. Still, stores continued to fuel Black political movements. Amid these struggles, bookshops were also places of celebration: Eartha Kitt and Langston Hughes held autograph parties at their local Black-owned bookstores. Maya Angelou became the face of National Black Bookstore Week. And today a new generation of Black activists is joining the radical bookstore tradition, with rapper Noname opening her Radical Hood Library in Los Angeles and several stores making national headlines when they were overwhelmed with demand in the Black Lives Matter era. As Adams makes clear, in an time of increasing repression, Black bookstores are needed now more than ever. Full of vibrant characters and written with cinematic flair, Black-Owned is an enlightening story of community, resistance, and joy.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26w50cmeg92rs617tqncyb.jpg?v=39cf1d6e73","LDNv3QwG}P%1i^F$Vro#}%NHJXRO",2025,305,[517],{"id":518,"slug":519,"name":520},"01kx26w5074ybv35fhnesr9fzb","char-adams-pd95","Char Adams",[522,523,527],{"id":448,"name":449,"slug":450,"is_fiction":16},{"id":524,"name":525,"slug":526,"is_fiction":17},103,"Society","society",{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":99,"complexity":7,"audience":56,"mood":530,"themes":531,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[362,103],[],{"id":533,"slug":534,"title":535,"description":536,"primary_cover_url":537,"cover_blurhash":538,"first_publish_year":539,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":439,"authors":540,"genres":545,"series":547,"enrichment":548},"01kx26rx7mf9ah7d3gfrec78p7","we-refuse-a-forceful-history-of-black-resistance-781x","We Refuse A Forceful History of Black Resistance","An \"unsparing, erudite, and incisive\" (Jelani Cobb, staff writer, The New Yorker) reframing of the past and present of Black resistance--both nonviolent and violent--to white supremacy. Named a Best Book of 2024 by Smithsonian * Kirkus * Chicago Review of Books * Emancipator * Ms. Magazine. Black resistance to white supremacy is often reduced to a simple binary, between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s nonviolence and Malcolm X's \"by any means necessary.\" In We Refuse, historian Kellie Carter Jackson urges us to move past this false choice, offering an unflinching examination of the breadth of Black responses to white oppression, particularly those pioneered by Black women. The dismissal of \"Black violence\" as an illegitimate form of resistance is itself a manifestation of white supremacy, a distraction from the insidious, unrelenting violence of structural racism. Force--from work stoppages and property destruction to armed revolt--has played a pivotal part in securing freedom and justice for Black people since the days of the American and Haitian Revolutions. But violence is only one tool among many. Carter Jackson examines other, no less vital tactics that have shaped the Black struggle, from the restorative power of finding joy in the face of suffering to the quiet strength of simply walking away. Clear-eyed, impassioned, and ultimately hopeful, We Refuse offers a fundamental corrective to the historical record, a love letter to Black resilience, and a path toward liberation.
