First published in 1903, this collection of 15 essays dared to describe the racism that prevailed at that time in America—and to demand an end to it.

T. R. Fehrenbach brilliantly delineates the contrasts and conflicts between the many Mexicos, unraveling the history while weaving a fascinating tapestry of beauty and brutality: the Amerindians, who wrought from the vulnerable land a great indigenous Meso-American civilization by the first millennium BC; the successive reigns of Olmec, Maya, Toltec, and Mexic masters, who ruled through an admirably efficient bureaucracy and the power of the priests, propitiating the capricious gods with human sacrifices; the Spanish conquistadors, and much more.

Bobby Griffith was an all-American boy … and he was gay. Faced with an irresolvable conflict—for both his family and his religion taught him that being gay was “wrong”—Bobby chose to take his own life. Prayers for Bobby, nominated for a 1996 Lambda Literary Award, is the story of the emotional journey that led Bobby to this tragic conclusion. But it is also the story of Bobby’s mother, a fearful churchgoer who first prayed that her son would be “healed,” then anguished over his suicide, and ultimately transformed herself into a national crusader for gay and lesbian youth.

Die Auseinandersetzung um Migration und Integration, um Flüchtlings- und Asylpolitik ist angesichts des neuen Zuwanderungshochs wieder in vollem Gange. Gleichzeitig aber gibt es keine europäische Asylpolitik, sind die Außengrenzen der EU löchrig, geht die Bundesregierung von überzogenen Zahlen für die qualifizierte Einwanderung aus, werden die Alarmrufe der Städte und Kommunen kleingeredet, wächst das Unbehagen von immer größeren Teilen der Bevölkerung.

In Oakland, California, in 1966, community college students Bobby Seale and Huey Newton armed themselves, began patrolling the police, and promised to prevent police brutality.
