Twelve Years A Slave
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=74192
By Solomon Northup
"It chills the blood," wrote Frederick Douglas of this first-hand narrative of an abducted free man sold into slavery. Originally published in 1853, Northup's memoir provides a vivid, horrifying account of the business and culture of enslavement. A century and a half later, both the acclaimed movie "Twelve Years A Slave" and the original text still have the power to shock and inform.
Angry White Men: American Masculinity at the End of an Era
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=73783
By Michael Kimmel
Whatever progress has been made in contemporary social attitudes in the United States regarding race, gender, sexual orientation and gender preference, there are those working furiously to turn back the clock. Sociologist Michael Kimmel examines the origins of this anger and the forms it takes across America - and asks whether we could finally be facing the end of the era of white male entitlement.
I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up For Education and Was Shot By The Taliban
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=73985
By Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb
The world has been inspired by the courage of Malala Yousafzai, shot and wounded in Pakistan for being an advocate of education for young women when she was 15. But less attention has been paid to her criticism of America's drone war, or her assertion that the Pashtun people "always come together against outsiders who try to conquer our lands." Read Malala's story in her own words here.
2014 Peace Calendar: We Protect What We Love
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=71812
From Syracuse Cultural Workers
Each month of the Peace Calendar from Syracuse Cultural Workers - long beloved by Truthout readers - illustrates a different important issue, from photos of radically sustainable dwellings, to artwork about the prison industrial complex by the incarcerated Kevin Rashid Johnson. Filled with informative annotations and including holidays for many faiths, the 2014 Peace Calendar is an ideal holiday gift.
You can read exclusive interviews with Progressive Picks authors, as well as book excerpts, reviews and more, at Truthout's Progressive Picks section - http://truth-out.org/progressive-picks - and order more choices using the links in any Progressive Picks article or interview.
