Published in 1982, But Some of Us Are Brave was the first-ever Black women's studies reader and a foundational text of contemporary feminism. Featuring writing from eminent scholars, activists, teachers, and writers, such as the Combahee River Collective and Alice Walker, All the Women Are White, All the Blacks Are Men, But Some of Us Are Bravechallenges the absence of Black feminist thought in women’s studies, confronts racism, and investigates the mythology surrounding Black women in the social sciences. As the first comprehensive collection of Black feminist scholarship, But Some of Us Are Brave was recognized by Audre Lorde as “the beginning of a new era, where the ‘women’ in women’s studies will no longer mean ‘white.’” Coeditors Akasha (Gloria T.) Hull, Patricia Bell-Scott, and Barbara Smith are authors and former women's studies professors. Brittney C. Cooper is a professor of Women's and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers University. She is the author of several books, including Eloquent Rage, named by Emma Watson as an Our Shared Shelf read for November/December 2018.

Brooklynese is the Boss of Bosses From the mean streets of New York City's prime mafia boro, comes a chase after savvy and streetwise bank robbers and jewel thieves that crosses international boundaries and time zones with the speed of a jet plane. Alexander weaves everything together with the skill of a true master of the action thriller category in an unforgettable extravaganza of capers, mayhem, hot gems, hot dames, and accomplished criminals who will stop at nothing to gain possession of a treasure whose value is almost beyond calculation. When a billion dollar diamond deal cut by one of New York's heaviest crime families goes sour, and the consignment of rare gems is lost overseas, a crew of wise guys straight out of Brooklyn is ordered to get it back -- any way they can. This is an international caper novel to end all caper novels, a nonstop page-turner jam-packed with action from start to finish and one of Alexander's boldest books ever. As crime thrillers go, Brooklynese is the boss of bosses. "Brooklynese is an accomplishment by an author whose narrative skills are clearly at their peak and can sustain an ambitious plot, like the daring young man on the trapeze who flies through the air with the greatest of ease." -- Desert Sun "If every crook could pull off a caper with the ease and skill Alexander ably demonstrates in Brooklynese, we'd all be broke." -- Globe Literary Supplement "As a cops and robbers caper novel that positively drips with murder, mayhem, bad guys and bullets, this international crime thriller has all the right moves. I'll even say that rarely before have crooks, bank robbers and other kinds of criminals been portrayed in such a way that I as a reader wanted to get into the gang before I was even halfway through the story. That's what I call some seriously spellbinding storytelling. While the story begins and ends in Brooklyn, which gives the book its title, Brooklynese is actually a top-notch international thriller with a heavy-duty plot that weaves together global organized crime, high-level espionage and international intrigue with all the frills of a first-class spy thriller. The book is written with just that right touch that maintains its edge and stops short of making caricatures out of its characters. This is considerably harder to accomplish than making the characters seem like violent goofballs, the way they're all too often portrayed, because it requires considerably more writing skill. I would assume it also takes more than just a casual familiarity with the ways of the characters about which the story is based. These characters aren't only Brooklyn "wise guys." They're also criminals that move in the high-class circles of European crime empires and the covert intelligence agents that they have connections with. The story also shows a considerable knowledge of the international diamond business that moves from South African diamond mines, to smuggling rings that operate across national borders, then to the gemstone trading houses in Antwerp, Paris and New York." -- Vince Flynn
Booker Prize-winning author John Berger, one of the most widely admired writers of our time, returns us to the captivating play and narrative allure of his previous novels–G. and Pig Earth among them–with a shimmering fiction drawn from chapters of his own life. One hot afternoon in Lisbon, the narrator finds his long-dead mother seated on a park bench. “The dead don’t stay where they are buried,” she tells him. And so begins a remarkable odyssey, told in simple yet gorgeous prose, that carries us from the London Blitz in 1943, to a Polish market, to a Paleolithic cave, to the Ritz Hotel in Madrid. Here Is Where We Meet is a unique literary journey that moves freely through time and space but never loses its foothold in the sensuous present.
