Suncatcher: A Novel

March is Women's History Month, a month dedicated to highlighting the contributions of women to history and to contemporary society.

We continue our Black History Month celebration with an essential roundup of new and backlist titles. These books span history, offering perspectives both individual and grand, showing us how to confront our present and build a more just future. 

The Oscars are this weekend. While the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences celebrates the year in motion pictures we thought we would celebrate one of our favorite films from 2019: Just Mercy, even if it wasn’t nominated.

This new decade opens on a deeply turbulent time in history; with the 2020 US presidential election looming nearer, we are faced with ballooning debt, insecure job, healthcare, education, and housing prospects, and the imminent threat of climate catastrophe. In the wake of Donald Trump's 2016 election, a new wave of leftist organizing has swept across the country, fighting to reverse these trends.
