| Bitchfest: 10 Years of Cultural Criticism From The Pages of Bitch Magazine edited by Lisa Jervis & Andi Zeisler "Positioned as an antidote to the patronizing pages of Cosmopolitan and Vogue, Bitch revels in its power to provoke as it ponders the landscape of popular culture from a feminist perspective. Founding editors Jervis and Zeisler have amassed essays (including some specifically commissioned for the collection) on a bounty of brazen topics, from the ramifications of sexual abuse and rape to the lesbian tendencies of Japanese macaques."

Targeted: Homeland Security and the Business of Immigration
by Deepa Fernandes Targeted is a superb book filled with the real life stories of immigrants and the US authorities, businesses, and racist groups who are criminalizing them, profiting from them, and targeting them. Deepa captures the human side of the issue by giving us the voices of the people she met around the US and abroad – people who have made incredible journeys in an attempt to live and work in the US. Deepa gives us a potent weapon for continuing to build the international movement for immigrant rights. It was an honor to work with her on this book the year before I joined the editorial staff at City Lights. $16.95 ISBN: 1583227288 Seven Stories Press Picked by Greg |

The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression
by Andrew Solomon " 'Depression is the flaw in love. To be creatures who love, we must be creatures who despair,' begins Solomon’s expansive and astutely observed examination of the experience, origins, and cultural manifestations of depression. While placing his study in a broad social context— according to recent research, some 19 million Americans suffer from chronic depression—he also chronicles his own battle with the disease."

Bury Me Standing: The Gypsies and Their Journey

Fonseca brings to light many forgotten and overlooked horrors of history, and paints a portrait that gives the reader great respect for the strength and vitality of a culture that has refused total assimilation in any country for thousands of years. $14.95 ISBN: 067973743X Random House Picked by Suzanne |
