Ida B. Wells is an American icon of truth telling. Born to slaves, she was a pioneer of investigative journalism, a crusader against lynching, and a tireless advocate for suffrage, both for women and for African Americans. She cofounded the NAACP, started the Alpha Suffrage Club in Chicago, and was a leader in the early civil rights movement. This engaging memoir relates Wells’ private life as a mother as well as her public activities as a teacher, lecturer, and journalist in her fight for equality and justice.

From Nelson George, supervising producer and writer of the hit Netflix series The Get Down, this passionate and provocative book tells the complete story of Black music in the last 50 years, and in doing so, outlines the perilous position of Black culture within white American society. In a fast-paced narrative, Nelson George’s book chronicles the rise and fall of “race music” and its transformation into the R&B that eventually dominated the airwaves, only to find itself diluted and submerged as crossover music.

La mística femenina es la que toma el sufrimiento del mundo en sus brazos y la transmuta con "misericordia salvaje": es la fusión de la fiera valentía con las fuerzas imparables del perdón, la compasión y el amor. Y ahora es más necesaria que nunca. "Misericordia salvaje" es una invitación a que despiertes tu mística interior mientras te empapas de la sabiduría de santa Teresa de Ávila, María Magdalena, Hildegarda von Bingen, la poetisa del éxtasis Mirabai y la santa sufí Rabia Basri.

A Sociologia da vida cotidiana se propõe a investigar, descrever e interpretar desde as simples ocorrências de rua até os fatos e fenômenos sociais relevantes e decisivos. Neste audiolivro, o sociólogo José de Souza Martins faz um mergulho nesse campo e investiga peculiaridades da sociedade brasileira, particularmente sobre as Ciências Sociais dentro e fora da sala de aula, a desigualdade social, a cultura popular e a língua que falamos.

Nelson George's chronicle of Motown Records' rise and fall remains a classic account of an essential American music company and its dynamic founder, Berry Gordy Jr. Gordy's uncanny instinct for finding extraordinary talent - from performers and musicians to songwriters and producers - packed the label's roster with a who's who of historic artists and hitmakers.

A master strategist and tireless activist, Bayard Rustin is best remembered as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protests ever held in the United States. He brought Gandhi's protest techniques to the American civil rights movement and played a deeply influential role in the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., helping to mold him into an international symbol of nonviolence.

Elaine Brown assumed her role as the first and only female leader of the Black Panther Party with these words: “I have all the guns and all the money. I can withstand challenge from without and from within. Am I right, Comrade?” It was August 1974. From a small Oakland-based cell, the Panthers had grown to become a revolutionary national organization. How Brown came to a position of power over this paramilitary, male-dominated organization, and what she did with that power, is a riveting, unsparing account of self-discovery.

In the context of slavery, science is usually associated with slaveholders’ scientific justifications of racism. But abolitionists were equally adept at using scientific ideas to discredit slaveholders. Looking beyond the science of race, The Science of Abolition shows how Black and white scientists and abolitionists drew upon a host of scientific disciplines - from chemistry, botany, and geology, to medicine and technology - to portray slaveholders as the enemies of progress.

Why has music so often served as an accomplice to transcendent expressions of gender? Why did the query "is he musical?" become code, in the 20th century, for "is he gay?" Why is music so inherently queer? For Sasha Geffen, the answers lie, in part, in music’s intrinsic quality of subliminal expression, which, through paradox and contradiction, allows rigid gender roles to fall away in a sensual and ambiguous exchange between performer and listener. Glitter Up the Dark traces the history of this gender fluidity in pop music from the early 20th century to the present day.

Inna Shevchenko a un destin hors du commun. Née dans une famille de la classe moyenne ukrainienne, elle est à 28 ans leader du mouvement international Femen. Après dix ans d'activisme féministe, elle décide de rendre hommage à toutes les femmes, figures historiques ou fictionnelles, qui l'ont aidée à se défaire des carcans de la société patriarcale. Dans "Héroïques", elle raconte cette libération en trois étapes à travers les portraits de celles qui l'ont inspirée.

Face is a book of fictional vignettes that examines the fear and vestigial evolutionary habits that have caused women and men to cultivate the imagined reality that older women’s faces are unattractive, undesirable, and something to be "fixed".

Et si les femmes avaient de bonnes raisons de détester les hommes ? Et si la colère à l'égard des hommes était en réalité un chemin joyeux et émancipateur dès lors qu'on la laisse s'exprimer ? Dans ce court essai, Pauline Harmange défend la misandrie comme une manière de faire place à la sororité et à des relations bienveillantes et exigeantes. Un livre audio féministe et iconoclaste.

Mymy Haegel est rédactrice en chef du magazine Madmoizelle. Elle a choisi de répandre la bonne parole féministe dans un guide joyeux et dynamique qui s'interroge sur les clichés sexistes qui encombrent notre vie de couple au quotidien. Vivre en couple est tout sauf évident. Et les choses se compliquent encore lorsqu'il s'agit de faire cœxister l'amour avec la conviction profonde que nous vivons dans une société où l'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes est loin d'être atteinte.

From Nelson George, supervising producer and writer of the hit Netflix series The Get Down, Hip Hop America is the definitive account of the society-altering collision between Black youth culture and the mass media.

Ho quarant'anni e spicci e non ho figli. Non li ho, e non ne voglio. Sono una childfree, cioè senza figli, che è diverso da childless, priva di figli. Una scelta versus una casualità. C'è stato un tempo in cui ero convinta che la mia vita avrebbe avuto senso solo quando avrei avuto dei figli. O almeno ero convinta di crederlo... Venivo circondata, o meglio, assediata senza via di scampo, dalle gravidanze di sorelle, cugine, cognate, nipoti, amiche, amiche delle amiche. Se non hai un figlio, nella tua vita di donna, cos'hai?

"La sicurezza cibernetica è un problema di sicurezza nazionale, se dovesse scoppiare una guerra la minaccia non arriverebbe dai carri armati ma dagli attacchi ai sistemi digitali, dalle torri di controllo agli acquedotti." (Antonello Soro, la Repubblica). Il rapporto tra tecnica e democrazia, pur certamente non nuovo, è divenuto centrale nell'era digitale. L'impatto delle nuove tecnologie sulla vita individuale e collettiva è tale da dover essere affrontato con il massimo grado di consapevolezza.

Da sempre la rabbia ha una cattiva fama, è considerata un'emozione sgradevole e deprecabile. In generale, quindi, tendiamo a provare nei suoi confronti una certa paura e a non concederle spazio, che si tratti della nostra o di quella altrui. Questo vale in particolare per le donne: di fatto, una donna che esprime liberamente la propria rabbia viene definita stizzosa, isterica o eccessivamente drammatica. Per questo, le donne più degli uomini hanno la tendenza a rimuoverla e a nasconderla, in primis a se stesse, dietro il volto dell'amarezza, della delusione, del dolore.

Breve storia triste (o BST, sempre per obbedire all'esigenza di sintesi) non è più solo il tormentone che impazza sul web ma, come scrive Ivan Cotroneo nella Prefazione, "una specie di esercizio filosofico che in maniera brutale e diretta toglie fronzoli e orpelli e ti mette di fronte l'essenza possibile della storia, a volerla guardare con il filtro dell'ironia". Una chiave narrativa che mescola brevitas e levitas per raccontare non solo le proprie piccole-grandi sfighe del quotidiano, ma che ora si applica a tutto lo scibile umano.
