Book Description
Many people say that they want equality, but their actions don't support their claim. They make demands that can only be achieved by taking from others. This is no way to achieve equality.We Want EQUALITY, delves into the issues of inequality, discussing hard truths and explaining why human deficiencies cannot be corrected through legislation.In the book, Love starts with a history lesson, examining past horrors and showing why human nature is an impediment to true equality. Armed with logic, Love explains why our problem is cultural, not inequality. He demonstrates how the decline of traditional values has led to pervasive nihilism and feelings of entitlement.Next, Love deftly addresses four areas that encapsulate perceived inequality: Race, Income, Gender and Religion. The book answers important questions like: Why asking racists to fix racism gets you nowhere?Why reparations are better than affirmative action?Are the police hunting down black men?Why CEO salaries are not the problem?Why trying to 'fix' boys will backfire?Why the Left defends Islam?We Want EQUALITY discusses the strong and growing role the media, entertainment, big business and politicians play in the diminution of traditional values. Love then sites numerous examples of how cultural manipulation by the Left is hurting the country. Finally, he provides steps we can take to bring the country back from the brink.Love makes the argument for a union between liberals and conservatives against a common enemy, the Left. Liberals, he argues, should push back against the extreme arguments and behavior of the Left. Where they feel there are injustices that need to be addressed, he gives them suggestions to improve conditions without relying solely on government solutions.For conservatives, the book is an instructional manual on how to advance conservative principles without being labeled as insensitive or a racist. It also gives examples of how to respond to leftist ideas and what to do when they try to make every conversation about Trump.We Want Equality is the book we need for the current political climate. It is painfully honest and bound to invoke a visceral reaction in everyone who reads it. Readers will walk away with a renewed desire for clear and honest exchange of ideas. It is a call to the famed 'silent majority', alerting them that if they remain silent, they will no longer be the majority

Book Description
There is an extreme cultural movement working to change the fabric of this country. It is loud, obnoxious, unforgiving and often violent. It speaks of love, diversity and inclusion but that is a façade. In reality, its sole purpose is to divide and conquer. Anyone who disagrees is the enemy and must be quelled. This movement is driven on hate, a false sense of moral superiority and a healthy dose of unearned entitlement. The shocking part is; it's not new.This leftist movement has existed in some form for nearly 100 years. It lay dormant for decades, building a base on the fringes. It has been steadily on the rise since the 1960s. It picked up momentum in the 1980s as the country moved away from traditional norms and adopted a more nihilistic, secular and selfish approach to life.Today, with the advent of smart phones, reality TV and instant information, the culture has taken a nosedive. People are more depressed, angrier and have fewer personal interactions. They have less drive but a greater desire to be appreciated. They know far less than previous generations but have greater self-esteem. Add to this our stark divide caused by the current political climate. Where do we go from here?This book sounds the alarm of the current cultural crisis we face. The goal is to get people to wake up and see all that's wrong with our current culture and join others in reversing the dark trend.

Book Description
Praise for Saeed Jones: "Jones is the kind of writer who's more than wanted: he's desperately needed."—FlavorWire "I get shout-happy when I read these poems; they are the gospel; they are the good news of the sustaining power of imagination, tenderness, and outright joy."—D. A. Powell "Prelude to Bruise works its tempestuous mojo just under the skin, wreaking a sweet havoc and rearranging the pulse. These poems don't dole out mercy. Mr. Jones undoubtedly dipped his pen in fierce before crafting these stanzas that rock like backslap. Straighten your skirt, children. The doors of the church are open."—Patricia Smith "It's a big book, a major book. A game-changer. Dazzling, brutal, real. Not just brilliant, caustic, and impassioned but a work that brings history—in which the personal and political are inter-constitutive—to the immediate moment. Jones takes a reader deep into lived experience, into a charged world divided among unstable yet entrenched lines: racial, gendered, political, sexual, familial. Here we absorb each quiet resistance, each whoop of joy, a knowledge of violence and of desire, an unbearable ache/loss/yearning. This is not just a "new voice" but a new song, a new way of singing, a new music made of deep grief's wildfire, of burning intelligence and of all-feeling heart, scorched and seared. In a poem, Jones says, "Boy's body is a song only he can hear." But now that we have this book, we can all hear it. And it's unforgettable."—Brenda Shaughnessy "Inside each hunger, each desire, speaks the voice of a boy that admits "I've always wanted to be dangerous." This is not a threat but a promise to break away from the affliction of silence, to make audible the stories that trouble the dimensions of masculinity and discomfort the polite conversations about race. With impressive grace, Saeed Jones situates the queer black body at the center, where his visibility and vulnerability nurture emotional strength and the irrepressible energy to claim those spaces that were once denied or withheld from him. Prelude to a Bruise is a daring debut."—Rigoberto González From "Sleeping Arrangement": Take your hand out from under my pillow. And take your sheets with you. Drag them under. Make pretend ghosts. I can't have you rattling the bed springs so keep still, keep quiet. Mistake yourself for shadows. Learn the lullabies of lint. Saeed Jones works as the editor of BuzzfeedLGBT.

Book Description
#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A landmark manifesto" (The New York Times) that's a revelatory, inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth that will empower women around the world to achieve their full potential. In her famed TED talk, Sheryl Sandberg described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which has been viewed more than eleven million times, encouraged women to “sit at the table,” seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto. Lean In continues that conversation, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to change the conversation from what women can’t do to what they can. Sandberg, COO of Meta (previously called Facebook) from 2008-2022, provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career. She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment, and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women both in the workplace and at home.

Book Description
In the vein of Tim Wise’s White Like Me and Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, The Time Has Come —by co-founder of the White Ribbon campaign Michael Kaufman — offers a plain-spoken and forthright look at why and how men must actively fight for gender equality. From founding the White Ribbon Campaign, the world’s largest organized effort of men working to end violence against women, in the early 1990s, to his appointment as the only male member of the G7 Gender Equality Advisory Council, Michael Kaufman has been a major figure in promoting social justice and women’s rights for decades. Now, in The Time Has Come, he issues a stirring call for men to mobilize in the movement for gender equality. Weaving together sociological data, personal experiences, and insights gleaned from decades of work with governments and NGOs around the globe, Kaufman explores topics ranging from domestic violence to parental leave, grappling with the ways in which a culture of toxic masculinity hurts women and men (and their children). Informative and provocative, The Time Has Come demonstrates how real gender equality creates advancements in both the workplace and the global economy, and urges men to become dedicated allies in dismantling the patriarchy.

Book Description
Shortlisted for the SABEW Best in Business Book Awards Winner of the 2022 AAMBC Literary Award for Non-Fiction/Self Help Book of the Year A breakdown of the economic and social injustices facing Black people and other marginalized citizens inspired by political activist Kimberly Jones' viral video, “How Can We Win.” “So if I played four hundred rounds of Monopoly with you and I had to play and give you every dime that I made, and then for fifty years, every time that I played, if you didn't like what I did, you got to burn it like they did in Tulsa and like they did in Rosewood, how can you win? How can you win?" When Kimberly Jones declared these words amid the protests spurred by the murder of George Floyd, she gave a history lesson that in just over six minutes captured the economic struggles of Black people in America. Within days the video had been viewed by millions of people around the world, riveted by Jones’s damning—and stunningly succinct—analysis of the enduring disparities Black Americans face. In How We Can Win, Jones delves into the impacts of systemic racism and reveals how her formative years in Chicago gave birth to a lifelong devotion to justice. Here, in a vital expansion of her declaration, she calls for Reconstruction 2.0, a multilayered plan to reclaim economic and social restitutions—those restitutions promised with emancipation but blocked, again and again, for more than 150 years. And, most of all, Jones delivers strategies for how we can effect change as citizens and allies while nurturing ourselves—the most valuable asset we have—in the fight against a system that is still rigged.

Book Description
A major publishing event, the collected writings of the groundbreaking scholar who "first coined intersectionality as a political framework" (Salon) For more than twenty years, scholars, activists, educators, and lawyers--inside and outside of the United States--have employed the concept of intersectionality both to describe problems of inequality and to fashion concrete solutions. In particular, as the Washington Post reported recently, "the term has been used by social activists as both a rallying cry for more expansive progressive movements and a chastisement for their limitations." Drawing on black feminist and critical legal theory, Kimberlé Crenshaw developed the concept of intersectionality, a term she coined to speak to the multiple social forces, social identities, and ideological instruments through which power and disadvantage are expressed and legitimized. In this comprehensive and accessible introduction to Crenshaw's work, readers will find key essays and articles that have defined the concept of intersectionality, collected together for the first time. The book includes a sweeping new introduction by Crenshaw as well as prefaces that contextualize each of the chapters. For anyone interested in movement politics and advocacy, or in racial justice and gender equity, On Intersectionality will be compulsory reading from one of the most brilliant theorists of our time.

Book Description
Gender equality is a moral and a business imperative. But unconscious bias holds us back and de-biasing minds has proven to be difficult and expensive. Behavioral design offers a new solution. Iris Bohnet shows that by de-biasing organizations instead of individuals, we can make smart changes that have big impacts—often at low cost and high speed.
