In this breakout book, Ijeoma Oluo explores the complex reality of today's racial landscape--from white privilege and police brutality to systemic discrimination and the Black Lives Matter movement--offering straightforward clarity that readers need to contribute to the dismantling of the racial divide

In So You Want to Talk About Race, Editor at Large of The Establishment Ijeoma Oluo offers a contemporary, accessible take on the racial landscape in America, addressing head-on such issues as privilege, police brutality, intersectionality, micro-aggressions, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the "N" word. Perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between people of color and white Americans struggling with race complexities, Oluo answers the questions readers don't dare ask, and explains the concepts that continue to elude everyday Americans.

 Oluo is an exceptional writer with a rare ability to be straightforward, funny, and effective in her coverage of sensitive, hyper-charged issues in America. Her messages are passionate but finely tuned, and crystalize ideas that would otherwise be vague by empowering them with aha-moment clarity. Her writing brings to mind voices like Ta-Nehisi Coates and Roxane Gay, and Jessica Valenti in Full Frontal Feminism, and a young Gloria Naylor, particularly in Naylor's seminal essay "The Meaning of a Word."

Reproductive Justice

This book explores the fascinating world of weeds- the plants we all know and love to hate. From crabgrass to poison ivy, weeds are familiar, pervasive, and seemingly invincible. Why do we consider them villains? Through historical research and his own travels, Mabey examines how weeds have been portrayed in literature and the media. He argues that we have caused plants to become weeds through our reckless treatment of the earth. Weeds can destroy ecosystems, but they can also restore war zones and derelict cities. Mabey shows how useful these unloved plants can be, from serving as the first crops and medicines to inspiring the invention of Velcro. A provocative defense of the plants we love to hate, Weeds is a profound and sympathetic meditation on the natural world.
