With this book, Orisanmi Burton explores what he terms the Long Attica Revolt, a criminalized tradition of Black radicalism that propelled rebellions in New York prisons during the 1970s.

In From Here to There, Michael Bond tells stories of the lost and found - Polynesian sailors, orienteering champions, early aviators - and surveys the science of human navigation.

Arguing that racism is not merely prejudice but weaponized race, Nyamndi calls for a radical paradigm shift: from perpetual victimhood to collective responsibility, from lamentation to production, from accusation to creative awakening.

The experiment lasted two days. The lesson it taught has haunted psychology ever since.

Yet the opposite is true.
