1 Million Roses for Angela Davis

$30.00

From Mousse Publishing comes the art book 1 Million Roses for Angela Davis. The volume—named after East Germany’s 1970 to 1972 campaign slogan that supported Davis while she was held on terrorism charges—pays tribute to the activist with historic portraits by painters from the German Democratic Party, archival material and an interview with Davis by René de Guzman. Also included are essays by Nikita Dhawan, Kata Krasznahorkai, Jamele Watkins and other writers. Multidisciplinary in its approach, the book explores Davis’ work and immense legacy.

Crying In H Mart

$27.00

In a lyrical and candid memoir, Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner maps her moving journey through grief, familial issues and selfhood in the wake of her mother’s passing. The debut is an expansion of Zauner’s 2018 New Yorker essay of the same name, adapted to chart the singer’s childhood years in the predominately white town of Eugene, Oregon, early gigs she played with her burgeoning band on the East coast and reclamation of her Korean American identity. Just like Zauner’s stage presence, her prose gracefully and powerfully captivates.

Warmth: Coming of Age at the End of the World

$17.00

Daniel Sherrell’s debut book, Warmth: Coming of Age at the End of the World, captures the spectrum of feelings that living in a climate crisis initiates—frustration from watered-down Green Bills, grief from the lives and species lost to preventable causes, numbness from the ever-mounting reports about the state of the environment, and beyond. Part memoir and part love letter, Warmth takes an intimate look into Sherrell’s life as he fights for change within the movement to imagine what a future and family look like under climate change. His book asks—himself and readers—”How do we go on in a world that may not?”

Dancehall: The Rise of Jamaican Dancehall Culture

$33.00

A dive into the dynamic 1980s Jamaican dancehall scene, Beth Lesser’s Dancehall: The Rise of Jamaican Dancehall Culture looks at the influential movement that was largely unseen by those not involved. Lesser traveled to Kingston, Jamaica in the ’80s for Reggae Quarterly magazine and various dedicated nights, and found herself in the midst of dancehall’s golden age. While political tensions were still apparent, the welcoming and boisterous world of dancehall provided an escape and community for many. This book traces dancehall’s 1950s origins through to its ’80s heyday and beyond with colorful images and thoughtful text.
