bell hooks and Ayo Sesheni (Narrator)
Released 2012-05-22
Sisters of the Yam: Black Women and Self-Recovery was the first nonfiction book to address the emotional needs of black women from a political perspective. With its watershed publication, bell hooks reminded us that those at the frontlines in battles against racism and sexism must take time to suture the wounds caused by oppression even as they continue to struggle. Although self-help and affirmation books have exploded as a genre, fourteen years later Sisters of the Yam remains one of the few books to theorize care of the self as an integral part of the fight for social justice. For those new to this classic as well as those who will be delighted to return to it, this audio edition of Sisters of the Yam makes the work accessible to an even wider audience. An important addition for libraries, activist organizations, book clubs, and personal stereos, Sisters of the Yam remains a vital resource for anyone who seeks to better understand the many dimensions of black women’s struggle for justice.

Al Gedicks
Released 2012-12-01
Indigenous peoples are fighting back against multinational resource extraction. In Wisconsin, an Ojibwe tribe waged a twenty-eight-year battle against some of the world’s largest mining corporations to preserve their sacred rice beds from mining pollution—and won. In Nigeria, indigenous women successfully shut down oil production as part of their fight to preserve their subsistence farming and fishing economy. Dirty Gold demonstrates how these movements’ political demands have energized peasant and other non- indigenous communities. Indigenous peoples are working together to assert their sovereignty, using the language of human rights and the political might of transnational solidarity networks to challenge resource colonialism and environmental racism.
