"On Tuesday 13 September 2022, all Mahsa Amini has planned is a day shopping in Tehran. Her birthday is next week. But she is arrested as she comes out of the subway - the Guidance Patrol deem her hijab inadequate. On Friday she is pronounced dead. By Sunday, women have taken to the streets across Iran, setting their headscarves on fire and cursing the Supreme Leader. Months later, workers down their tools and businesses close. The battle cry everywhere: Women, Life, Freedom. This isn't a passing protest wave; something has changed irrevocably. Arash Azizi guides us through Iran ablaze, history being made in real time. From an International Women's Day celebrated inside Iran's most notorious prison to mass strikes in Kurdistan, ordinary Iranians are taking risks to fight for a better future.

A different Iran is within sight; Azizi shows us what it might look like." --

"There was once a Tennessee whiskey that dwarfed Jack Daniel's, and a powerful man behind it: V.E. "Manny" Shwab. Until now, virtually nothing has been written about either. Their story is one of a Jewish Alsatian immigrant's dream of finding community and prosperity in the New world; of smuggling during the Civil War; of the raging, sometimes fatal, battle against Prohibition; and of the wild side of rapidly growing Nashville during the 19th and early 20th centuries. V. E. "Manny" Shwab was a Tennessean known as the "owner" of Tennessee politics, and-because of his George Dickel company, saloons, and Cascade Whisky-the "debaucherer of more young men than anyone else in the state". He was also one of Tennesee's richest and most powerful men for four decades. This is the first full-length biography of V. E. Shwab, written by his great-grandson. It is also the first complete history of the George Dickel company."-Provided by publisher"--

With Be A Revolution: How Everyday People are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World--and How You Can, Too, Oluo aims to show how people across America are working to create real positive change in our structures. Looking at many of our most powerful systems -- like education, media, labor, health, housing, policing, and more -- she highlights what people are doing to create change for intersectional racial equity. She also illustrates various ways in which the reader can find entryways into change in these same areas, or can bring some of this important work being done elsewhere to where they live. This book aims to not only be educational, but to inspire action and change. Oluo wishes to take our conversations on race and racism out of a place of pure pain and trauma, and into a place of loving action. Be A Revolution is both an urgent chronicle of this important moment in history, as well as an inspiring and restorative call for action

"Before the U.S. campaign finance system can be fixed, we first have to understand why it has developed into the system we have. The nature of democracy itself, the American capitalist economic system, the content of the U.S. Constitution and how it is interpreted, the structure of our governmental institutions, the competition for governmental power, and the behavior of campaign finance actors have all played a role in shaping the system. The Fundamentals of Campaign Finance in the U.S. takes care to situate the campaign finance system in the context of the broader U.S. political and economic system. Dwyre and Kolodny offer readers a brief tour through the development of the campaign finance regulatory structure, highlighting the Supreme Court's commitment to free speech over political equality from Buckley v. Valeo (1976) through the passage of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA, 2002). They also examine the driving force behind campaign finance reform-corruption-through historical, transactional, and institutional perspectives. While diving into the insufficiency of the disclosure and enforcement of campaign finance laws and calling attention to multiple federal agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Communications Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, and (principally) the Federal Election Commission, the authors show how a narrow view on campaign finance makes change difficult and why reforms often have limited success. By examining the fundamentals, Dwyre and Kolodny show the difficulties of changing a political system whose candidates have always relied on private funding of campaigns to one that guarantees free speech rights while minimizing concerns of corruption."

"New Orleans Pralines: Plantation Sugar, Louisiana Pecans, and the Marketing of Southern Nostalgia follows the development of the praline, from its origins following the Civil War through its present-day status as an iconic symbol of New Orleans. Anthony Stanonis argues that pralines arrived in New Orleans with enslaved persons fleeing Louisiana plantations during the Civil War. Black women emerging from slavery were able to use pralines as an entrepreneurial commodity, to the point that white New Orleans authors soon coopted the image of the praline seller to present her as a mammy. This put a Louisiana twist on the southern mammy image while also inventing a noble, aristocratic history for the praline. Pralines played a major role in promoting local, Louisiana brown sugar in the face of industrialized sugar refining, the rise of the beet sugar industry in the Midwest/West (and Europe), and cheap sugar imports stemming from American expansion into Cuba, Hawaii, and the Philippines. Stanonis also explores the role of an enslaved horticulturist in domesticating the pecan in New Orleans in the 1840s, creating a grafted tree that would become the initial tree for pecan orchards after the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. By the early twentieth century, praline sellers increasingly replaced foraged pecans with cultivated pecans. The rise of cultivated, shelled, and cheaply-bought pecans allowed better-resourced white women to move into the praline-selling market in New Orleans, especially as tourism emerged as a key local industry after the 1910s. Indeed, the praline became central to marketing New Orleans from the 1920s through the 1980s. Conventions, for instance, often hired Black women to play the "praline mammy" role for out-of-towners, while stores sold pralines with mammy imagery in boxes designed to look like cotton bales. After World War II, pralines went national with items like praline-flavored ice cream (1950s) and praline liquor (1980s). Yet as the civil rights struggle persisted, the imagery of the praline mammy was recognized as offensive caricature, and the praline as a symbol of New Orleans slowly gave way to the king cake."

"In Unsettled Labors, Rachel H. Brown explores the overlooked labor of migrant workers in Israel's eldercare industry. Brown argues that live-in eldercare in Palestine/Israel, which is primarily done by migrant workers, is an often invisible area where settler colonialism is reproduced culturally, economically, and biologically. Situating Israeli labor markets within a longer history of imperialism and dispossession of Palestinian land, Brown positions migrant eldercare within the resulting tangle of Israeli laws, policies, and social discourses. She draws from interviews with caretakers, public statements, court documents, and first-hand fieldwork to uncover the inherently contradictory nature of elder care work: the intimate presence of South and Southeast Asian workers in the home unsettles the idea of the Israeli home as an exclusively Jewish space. By paying close attention to the comparative racialization of migrant workers, Palestinians, asylum seekers, and Mizrahi and Ashkenazi settlers, Brown raises important questions of labor, social reproduction, displacement, and citizenship told through the stories of collective care provided by migrant workers in a settler colonial state."

"Centering on oral histories in Fujian, Shuxuan Zhou situates first-hand accounts of labor and resistance in forestry and wood processing within the larger context of post-revolutionary socialist reforms through China's post-1990s rapid economic development. In considering how sawmill and forest farm workers creatively reconfigured state projects and challenged authority, this book opens a conversation among gender studies, labor studies, and environmental studies."
