He explores how the conversation on critical race theory has expanded into the contemporary popular conscience, showing why critical race theory matters and why we should all care.

    Such a Good Mother

    by Helen Monks Takhar

    Some women would do anything for their children. This provocative novel “goes straight for the jugular of modern motherhood” (Lindsay Cameron, author of Just One Look) – from the author of the “addictive” (People) thriller, Precious You. Taut, complex, and compulsively readable, Such a Good Mother is a razor-sharp take on the myth of having it all.

    Aphrodite and the Duke

    by J.J. McAvoy

    Aphhrodite Du Bell has always resented her name. While the members of the ton, and even the queen herself, praise her warm brown skin, perfect curls, and exquisite features, Aphrodite can’t help but think that living up to the literal goddess of beauty is asking a bit much. Her renowned loveliness certainly didn’t stop the love of her life from jilting her and marrying another woman four years ago. When Aphrodite’s mother summons her back to London to aid in her sister’s debut, she has no choice but to acquiesce. But she is determined to ignore one man in particular: Evander Eagleman, the Duke of Everely, the man who devastated her all those years ago. Yet why does her heart still flutter at the sight of him?

But the night after they christen the She Shed, they realize Liz’s home-improvement project released a demonic force that turned their quiet enclave into something out of a nightmare. And that’s before the homeowners’ association got wind of it. Together, Amy, Jess, and Melissa must fight the evil spirit to save Liz and the neighborhood…before the suburbs go completely to hell.

    Radical Curiosity

    by Seth Goldenberg

    In Radical Curiosity, Goldenberg argues that because we value knowing above learning and prioritize doing over thinking, curiosity has become an endangered species. This is a bold manifesto arguing that the most complex challenges we face today–as individuals, businesses, and a society–require us to ask deeper questions, not seek easier answers. By asking us to relearn how we learn, reengage in dialogue, revive our youthful sense of wonder, and rethink what we value, it reignites the curiosity needed to imagine and build a better world.

    The Destructionists

    by Dana Milbank

    A scathing history of twenty-five years of Republican attempts to hold on to political power by any means necessary, by a hugely popular Washington Post political columnist. Following the questionable careers of party heavyweights Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, and Rudy Giuliani, and those of many lesser known lowlights, Dana Milbank recounts the shocking lengths the Republic Party has gone to maintain its grip on the American people.

    The Last White Man

    by Mohsin Hamid

    One morning, a man wakes up to find himself transformed. Overnight, Anders’s skin has turned dark, and the reflection in the mirror seems a stranger to him. Soon, reports of similar events begin to surface. Across the land, people are awakening in new incarnations, uncertain how their neighbors, friends, and family will greet them. Some see the transformations as the long-dreaded overturning of the established order that must be resisted to a bitter end, for others it is a chance at a kind of rebirth–an opportunity to see themselves, face to face, anew. The Last White Man powerfully uplifts our capacity for empathy and the transcendence over bigotry, fear, and anger it can achieve.

    Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth

    by Wole Soyinka

    Now in paperback, Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth is at once a literary hoot, a crafty whodunit, and a scathing indictment of political and social corruption. It is a stirring call to arms against the abuse of power from one of our fiercest political activists, who also happens to be a global literary giant.
