Our History Has Always Been Contraband In Defense of Black Studies Edited by Colin Kaepernick, Robin D. G. Kelley, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books...een-contraband "The centuries-long attack on Black history represents a strike against our very worth, brilliance, and value. We’re ready to fight back. And when we fight, we win." —Colin Kaepernick Since its founding as a discipline, Black Studies has been under relentless attack by social and political forces seeking to discredit and neutralize it. Our History Has Always Been Contraband was born out of an urgent need to respond to the latest threat: efforts to remove content from an AP African American Studies course being piloted in high schools across the United States. Edited by Colin Kaepernick, Robin D. G. Kelley, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Our History Has Always Been Contraband brings together canonical texts and authors in Black Studies, including those excised from or not included in the AP curriculum. Featuring writings by: David Walker, Frederick Douglass, Anna Julia Cooper, Zora Neale Hurston, W. E. B. Du Bois, C. L. R. James, James Baldwin, June Jordan, Angela Y. Davis, Robert Allen, Barbara Smith, Toni Cade Bambara, bell hooks, Barbara Christian, Patricia Hill Collins, Cathy J. Cohen, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Saidiya Hartman, Khalil Gibran Muhammad, and many others. Our History Has Always Been Contraband excerpts readings that cut across and between literature, political theory, law, psychology, sociology, gender and sexuality studies, queer and feminist theory, and history. This volume also includes original essays by editors Kaepernick, Kelley, and Taylor, elucidating how we got here, and pieces by Brea Baker, Marlon Williams-Clark, and Roderick A. Ferguson detailing how we can fight back. To read Our History Has Always Been Contraband is to be an outlaw for liberation. These writings illuminate the ways we can collectively work toward freedom for all—through abolition, feminism, racial justice, economic empowerment, self-determination, desegregation, decolonization, reparations, queer liberation, cultural and artistic expression, and beyond. |

Ken Forkish's Evolutions in Bread: Artisan Pan Breads and Dutch-Oven Loaves at Home is currently $2 from Kobo and Amazon in the US.
Mr. Forkish's previous book, Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast, won an IACP cookbook award and, for my part, taught me several improvements to my technique. I haven't dug in yet to be able to say this with much confidence, but the impression I get is that Evolutions in Bread seems to put more of an emphasis on sandwich style breads as compared to the more lean doughs in FWSY. |

Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America, by Maggie Haberman, is on sale in the UK today, in a rather timely fashion. It's £0.99 as part of today's Daily Deal. I've had an eye out for this one, and eReaderIQ has yet to see it drop below $15.99 in the US, so glad to see it on sale in the UK....

I've raved - in a good sense - about Timothy Snyder before, and now another book of his is on sale at Kindle UK for £0.99 as part of today's Daily Deal.
Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin is being marketed as the book to read to help understand Eastern Europe, and it's probably true - since reading the blurb sounds a lot like several of the lectures in his Yale course that is available on You Tube, and which was excellent.

Public Schools and the Second World War by David Walsh and Anthony Seldon has been reduced to $2.99 from $12.99. It was on my wishlist AND I just happened to have $3 in my Kindle Rewards credit. I suppose its happening on double points day was the icing on the cake, but I can't get all that excited by an extra 9 points.
