Paperback. Condition: Good. "Nothing is more brilliant and juicy to me than a woman stepping fully into her self--mind, body, and spirit, full throttle, without apology. Kimberly Dark has been illuminating the path for a long time. This book is a triumph. This book is a jailbreak from cultural inscriptions meant to keep us locked up, shut up, and conforming." --Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Chronology of Water and The Book of Joan Fat, Pretty, and Soon to be Old is a moving, funny, and startlingly frank collection of personal essays about what it means to look a certain way. Or rather, certain ways. Navigating Kimberly Dark's experience of being fat since childhood--as well as queer, white-privileged, a gender-confirming "girl with a pretty face," active then disabled, and inevitably aging--each piece blends storytelling and social analysis to deftly coax readers into a deeper understanding of how appearance privilege (and stigma) function in everyday life and how the architecture of this social world constrains us. At the same time, she provides a blueprint for how each of us can build a more just social world, one interaction at a time. Includes an afterword by Health at Every Size expert, Linda Bacon. Kimberly Dark is a writer, professor, and raconteur. She has written award-winning plays, and taught and performed for a wide range of audiences in various countries over the past two decades. She is the author of The Daddies, Love and Errors, and co-editor of the anthology Ways of Being in Teaching.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A manifesto for today's broken schools. Desegregation has failed. Schools filled with black and brown students have become plantations of social control, where the policing of behavior trumps the expanding of minds. Radical teachers and organizers in American public schools must help young people fashion an insurgency. That means, at the very least, seeing each student's rebellion not as violation, but as communication. Jay Gillen writes with passion and compassion about the daily lives of poor students trapped in institutions that dismiss and degrade them. In the spirit of Paulo Freire, and using the historical models of slave rebellions and Civil Rights struggles as guides, Gillen explains what sort of insurgency is needed and how to create it: the tools and techniques required to build social, intellectual, and political power. This poetic manifesto of revolutionary "educational reform" belongs in the pocket of anyone who currently works in, suffers through, or simply cares about public schooling in this country. Jay Gillen teaches English in a Baltimore public school and has worked with the Baltimore Algebra Project since 1995, building math literacy among youth of color and youth experiencing poverty in US public schools. Bob Moses is an educator and Civil Rights activist. He founded the Algebra Project in 1982. In Oakland, California on March 24, 2015 a fire destroyed the AK Press warehouse along with several other businesses. Please consider visiting the AK Press website to learn more about the fundraiser to help them and their neighbors.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. This sequel to Inversion forces a pacifist society in a pastoral, isolated universe to wrestle with the cost of self-defense. The people of Germinal live on atiny, verdant planet where evolution has traced aslightly different path. For centuries, they have peacefully coexisted amid an ecosystemwhere an advancing wall of fire consumes all in its path, a perpetual cycleof destruction and renewal. That is, until everything they knew of their historywas violently upended by the arrival of colonizers. Months after the events in Inversion, the people of Germinal are rebuilding, reckoning with thebrutality of the invasion, and striving to absorb newcomers. But young Char, earning a reputationamong her people as a capable new conciliator, wrestles with the trauma ofthose events and tries to rally her community to defend themselves againstfuture attack. Her friend Graft, formerly an aide-de-camp of the invading forces,is adrift. Though finally safe, he has nothing left but the stories of his losthome and grows increasingly haunted by visions of the past--including of the mysterious creation of Germinal. But calm in their changed world is short lived. A pair of warriors arrive from amilitant culture on the far side of the flamewall, violating a great taboo thatforbids one side from meeting another. They insist on being brought to the survivors, to deal with as they see fit. As the situation escalates, Charand Graft struggle to do what is right. To keep each other safe. And to readythemselves for what they both know is true: The invaders will try again.
