If you’ve ever felt strange about the way we celebrate —this is your permission to stop pretending.

With poetic grit and unfiltered honesty, Fisher chronicles his backbreaking daily grind on the Atlantic Ocean, only to be blindsided by the cold fist of bureaucracy: the ice-hearted Pease Port Authority. Ultimately, his 30 years as a commercial fisherman collapses simply because of a clerical misstep that the Authority, blind to his desperate pleas, refuses to ignore.

Many of us grew up believing in a meritocracy, where hard work and a good education brings rewards. Go to university, get a job, put in the hours and things will be OK. That’s what we were told – but the reality is that life chances and opportunities are no longer shaped by what we learn or earn but by whether we have access to the Bank of Mum and Dad. We’re living in an inheritocracy, where parental support is what matters most – whether that’s covering the cost of university, stumping up for a house deposit or helping with childcare.

After I'd got him out of harm's way, I dived back in yet again and swam out past the surf-break, out to where the other two lads were floundering. Then, one at a time, I took them back onto the rocks – all done against the raging rip and wild surf. By then an hour or so had passed. Still, severe cuts, bruises and abrasions aside, I'd successfully saved the lives of the four young people who, in all probability, would've otherwise drowned.

Le lieu idéal pour se cacher, disparaître, s'évader. » Chaque année, quelque 100 000 Japonais, hommes et femmes de tous âges, s'évaporent sans laisser de traces… Un récit immersif sur un phénomène unique au monde.

In this groundbreaking book, Esther Armah argues that the crucial missing piece to racial healing and sustainable equity is emotional justice—a new racial healing language to help us do our emotional work. This work is part of the emotional reckoning we must navigate if racial healing is to be more than a dream. We all—white, Black, Brown—have our emotional work that we need to do. But that work is not the same for all of us.

Every year, millions of public school students are suspended. This overused punishment removes students from the classroom, but it does not improve their behavior. Instead, suspension disrupts their education, harming the students, their families, and their schools. Black students suffer most within this broken system, experiencing a far greater risk of school punishment and the significant harms that accompany it. Many activists and scholars have considered how school punishment increases racial inequity, but few have thought to ask why.

If Jenn had known her husband's family before they'd gotten married, there might never have been a wedding at all. Now she has to confront the reality that her new family holds ignorant—and, at times, racist—views, and that spending time around them triggers her ingrained trauma of growing up Black in the U.S. Why is it so hard for her to speak out against their prejudice? And, more importantly, what does it mean that her husband is silent in the face of all this?
