From the civil rights and Black Power era of the 1960s through antiapartheid activism in the 1980s and beyond, black women have used their clothing, hair, and style not simply as a fashion statement but as a powerful tool of resistance. Whether using stiletto heels as weapons to protect against police attacks or incorporating African-themed designs into everyday wear, these fashion-forward women celebrated their identities and pushed for equality. In this thought-provoking book, Tanisha C. Ford explores how and why black women in places as far-flung as New York City, Atlanta, London, and Johannesburg incorporated style and beauty culture into their activism. Focusing on the emergence of the "soul style" movement—represented in clothing, jewelry, hairstyles, and more—Liberated Threads shows that black women's fashion choices became galvanizing symbols of gender and political liberation. Drawing from an eclectic archive, Ford offers a new way of studying how black style and Soul Power moved beyond national boundaries, sparking a global fashion phenomenon. Following celebrities, models, college students, and everyday women as they moved through fashion boutiques, beauty salons, and record stores, Ford narrates the fascinating intertwining histories of Black Freedom and fashion.

An "exciting and engaging" investigation (Jonah Berger) of the secret, tangled emotional relationships people have with things—drawing on cutting-edge findings from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and marketing. Books, baseball cards, ceramic figurines, art, iPhones, clothing, cars, music, dolls, furniture, and even nature itself. If you're like most people, at some point in your life you've found yourself indulging in a love affair with some thing that brings you immense joy, comfort, or fulfillment. Why is it that we so often feel intense passion for objects? What does this tendency tell us about ourselves and our society? In The Things We Love, Dr. Aaron Ahuvia presents astonishing discoveries that prove we are far less “rational” than we think when it comes to our possessions and hobbies. In fact, we have passionate relationships with the things we love, and these relationships are driven by influences deep within our culture and our biology. Some of our passions are sudden, obsessive, and fleeting; others are devoted and lifelong affairs. Some turn dark: we become hoarders, or would prefer to destroy certain objects rather than let anyone else own them. And as technology improves, becoming increasingly addictive, one wonders: might our lives become so dominated by our emotional ties to things that we lose interest in other people? Packed with fascinating case studies, scientific analysis, and takeaways for living in a modern and ever-so-material world, The Things We Love offers a truly original and insightful look into our love for inanimate objects — and how better understanding these relationships can enrich and improve our lives.

Alaska, a student at the university, had no interest in spirituality. But her accidental meetings with Maxim De Winter, a billionaire entrepreneur, better known for his spiritual work as “gladiator” around the globe, changed her views completely. Gladiator said his mission was to awaken humanity to their own inherent power. After learning to meditate and other spiritual practices, Alaska knew for sure she was an ultimate magician, as Gladiator said, with unimaginable powers to create anything she desired. Spreading Gladiator’s spiritual message was her passion now. To learn to present spiritual seminars herself, Alaska attended five seminars with Gladiator in different cities with different audiences, at the end of which she was expected to be able to present a seminar. Will she be able to do it? Alaska’s mother worried lest her daughter gets hurt in the process. She thought it was inevitable that Alaska would fall for Maxim De Winter with fancy cars, yachts, businesses around the world, and his spiritual knowledge that gave him an irresistible charismatic personality. So it was a welcome surprise for Alaska’s parents when Maxim De Winter called them one day to say he would be coming to meet them next Saturday. They were overjoyed and were looking forward to his visit, but Alaska was not, although she was curious to know why he always addressed her as princess. And whenever she asked him for anything, his response was “Your wish is my command, princess.” She wondered why.
