Описание: "Blue Eyes" is a breathtaking saga, interwoven with rich original mythology, tribal beliefs, a fantasy race of plant-based creatures, unimaginable animals, and a tapestry of supporting stories and themes. This fantastical story makes readers consider love versus honor, power versus right, and two lovers determined to believe that, in the end, love cannot be denied. This novel may appeal to readers who cant get enough of beautiful world-building and magical elements. Forbidden love can be dangerous enough-let alone when one lover is accused of being a demon. In this high fantasy story, Yawta, the daughter of a village leader, wishes to escape her village to be free to live openly with her lover Bamru. Unfortunately, as a female, she has no rights, and Bamru is believed to be a demon because of the color of his eyes. To complicate Yawtas escape plans, Bamru is torn between his love for Yawta and his loyalty to her father, the tribal leader-even as his life is constantly threatened due to his mysterious, secret origins. This two-part story reaches a climax when Yawtas death transports her to a new death-world, and Bamru enters that dangerous death-world to find her.
In nineteenth-century England, sodomy was punishable by death; even an accusation could damage a man’s reputation for life. The last executions for this private, consensual act were in 1835, but the effort to change the law that allowed for those executions was intense and precarious, and not successful until 1861. In this groundbreaking book, “Beyond the Law,” noted historian Charles Upchurch pieces together fragments from history and uses a queer history methodology to recount the untold story of the political process through which the law allowing for the death penalty for sodomy was almost ended in 1841.
Upchurch recounts the legal and political efforts of reformers like Jeremy Bentham and Lord John Russell—the latter of whom argued that the death penalty for sodomy was “beyond the law and above the law.” He also reveals that a same-sex relationship linked the families of the two men responsible for co-sponsoring the key legislation. By recovering the various ethical, religious, and humanitarian arguments against punishing sodomy, “Beyond the Law” overturns longstanding assumptions of nineteenth-century British history. Upchurch demonstrates that social change came from an amalgam of reformist momentum, family affection, elitist politics, class privilege, enlightenment philosophy, and personal desires.

Описание: An unforgettable true story of gang warfare and a bold manifesto for addressing racial injustice, from a former gang member and renowned lecturer "An inspiring personal litany of human renewal and accomplishment. Upchurch gives us hope that we can change society."--Dr. Earl Ofari Hutchinson, author of The Assassination of the Black Male Image Once Carl Upchurch was an elementary school dropout fighting for survival on the streets of South Philadelphia, a gang member wedded to a life of violence, a bank robber facing a future in federal penitentiaries. Now he is a respected community organizer and one of the most compelling and visionary leaders of the civil rights movement. Catapulted into the national spotlight following his organization of a summit that brought together the country's most notorious gangs, Carl Upchurch has found himself in direct conflict with other African American civil right leaders. This is his scathing critique of the established civil rights movement and his plan for solving the critical problems facing today's urban American.
