On Kayleen Schaefer's birthday she went dancing with friends, they broke a table, and she turned 30 standing on the sidewalk outside a club she got kicked out of. Sociologists have identified the five markers of adulthood as: finishing school, leaving home, marriage, gaining financial independence, and having kids. But the signifiers of being in our 30s today are not the same - repeated economic upheaval, rising debt, decreasing marriage rates, fertility treatments, and a more open-minded society have all led to a shifting time line.

Ya instalada en Tánger de forma definitiva, Helena se adentró en los asentamientos provisionales de los bosques que rodean Ceuta y Melilla y empezó a denunciar sin descanso las violaciones de derechos de aquellos que buscan cruzar, por tierra o por mar, una frontera que les permita alcanzar Europa.

Most of us understand grief as sorrow experienced after a loss - the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a change in life circumstance. Breeshia Wade approaches grief as something that is bigger than what's already happened to us - as something that is connected to what we fear, what we love, and what we aspire toward. Drawing on stories from her own life as a Black woman and from the people she has midwifed through the end of life, she connects sorrow not only to specific incidents but also to the ongoing trauma that is part and parcel of systemic oppression.

In this groundbreaking, inspiring work, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage, the physical consequences of discrimination, from the perspective of body-centred psychology. He argues that until we learn to heal and overcome the generational anguish of white supremacy, we will all continue to bear its scars.

Some of the most iconic images of the Civil Rights Movement are those of young people engaged in social activism, such as children and teenagers in 1963 being attacked by police in Birmingham with dogs and water hoses. But their contributions have not been well documented or prioritized. The Young Crusaders is the first book dedicated to telling the story of the hundreds of thousands of children and teenagers who engaged in sit-ins, school strikes, boycotts, marches, and demonstrations.

How do recent police killings of young Black people in the United States fit into the historical and global context of anti-blackness? This collection of reports and essays explores police violence against Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities, miscarriages of justice, and failures of token accountability and reform measures.

Insight and empathy spring from the clash of different perspectives. In a world where it's easier than ever for people to share their opinions, we should be reaping the benefits of diverse views. Instead, we too often find ourselves mired in hostility or - worse - avoiding disagreement altogether. Ian Leslie argues that this is because most of us never learn how to air our differences in a way that leads to progress.

Am 6. April 1967 hielt Theodor W. Adorno auf Einladung des Verbands Sozialistischer Studenten Österreichs an der Wiener Universität einen Vortrag, der aus heutiger Sicht nicht nur von historischem Interesse ist. Vor dem Hintergrund des Aufstiegs der NPD, die bereits in den ersten beiden Jahren nach ihrer Gründung im November 1964 erstaunliche Wahlerfolge einfahren konnte, analysiert Adorno Ziele, Mittel und Taktiken des neuen Rechtsradikalismus dieser Zeit.
