Kylie Cheung turns the superhero genre on its head in this dark, feminist exploration of power, policing, and violence.
โThrilling, subversive, and smoking hot. Kylie Cheung scours the veneer off tired genre-fiction tropes to reveal a radical vision of power, victimization, reclamation, and purpose. This is no Marvel movieโonly Werner Herzog could adapt ๐๐บ ๐๐ฐ๐บ๐ง๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฐ.โ
โSpencer Ackerman (@attackerman), author of ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐๐ข๐ฏ and Pulitzer Prize winner
โThrough this searing, sexy, subversive take on the modern superhero story, Cheung brilliantly interrogates the horror of intimate partner abuse and the annihilating, might-makes-right power of the American carceral state. ๐๐บ ๐๐ฐ๐บ๐ง๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฐ is razor sharp, hot as hell, and deeply disquieting."

โก ๐ KYLIE CHEUNG 2 BOOK GIVEAWAY ๐โก
To celebrate the recent publication of ๐๐ญ๐ข๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฎ from @natlanticbooks and the forthcoming publication of ๐๐บ ๐๐ฐ๐บ๐ง๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฐ, from AK Pressโs Black Dawn Series, our publishing houses are joining forces to give 5 lucky readers one of each book by @kylietcheung ! ๐
๐๐ญ๐ข๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฎ, Cheungโs latest work of nonfiction, delivers an urgent, incisive look at how abusersโfrom empires to intimate partnersโuse the same gaslighting playbook to oppress victims, silence their voice, and stay in power. Unpacking how domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, colonial violence, and capitalist cruelty function as interlocking systems of control, Cheung helps readers understand how power hides behind ersatz victimhoodโand how this plays us all.
๐๐บ ๐๐ฐ๐บ๐ง๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฐ is Cheungโs fiction debut and a feminist psychothriller, set in a world where a newly arrived class of superhumans form an elite team that patrols and supposedly protects the world. A criminology researcher exposes the dangers of the superheroesโ unfettered power, but finds herself drawn into an obsessive affair, and the realization of her own entrapment. The book is erotic, deranged, sharp genre fiction at its best.
How to enter?

Prisons are designed to isolate, break social ties, and destroy communities. Yet, people fight hard to keep relationships going across prison walls, and through all the crises that prisons manufacture. Episode 30 is Part Two of a multi-episode series on relating across prison walls. This episode features conversations with friends inside prison, people who have been released, and people who have been doing direct support to prisoners for decades, about the barriers to connection that prisons create and the ways people stay connected despite them. Special thanks to Corey for inspiring this series, and to Kelsey and Hope for the exceptional editing work this episode required.
Interested in sharing this episode with friends inside? Some people might be able to find our podcast on their Kiosk system, but for those who canโt we suggest printing the transcript and mailing it in. Here it is in a format that takes up less pages to make printing cheaper and get through page limits: deanspade.net/podcast

Happy publication day to ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ: ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ๐ต ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐จ๐จ๐ด by Michael Doan!
๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ด๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ explores the work and legacy of James and Grace Lee Boggs, two of the most influential American radical thinkers of the twentieth century. Over the course of more than forty years of partnership and participation in labor, civil rights, Black Power, anticolonial, and feminist movements, the Boggses articulated a philosophy of long-term revolutionary strategy they called โdialectical humanismโโsocial change through conscious, collective activity of people engaged in place-based organizing with a view to transforming everyday life, with hallmark projects such as community gardens, daycare networks, and mediation programs. Above all, revolution is not a fixed program but must evolve as ideas, movements, and institutions are changed through collective practice.
Through their life work and publications, James and Grace Lee Boggs modeled how to do philosophy from within movements. In Rehearsing the Future, Michael Doan lays out the intellectual history of dialectical humanism, the far-reaching theory and practice that continues to guide movement-building around the world, inspiring forms of activism such as visionary organizing and emergent strategy. This book is for scholars and activists interested in the theoretical underpinnings of today's community movements.

โA deeply researched, innovative, and passionate history of the rank-and-file activists behind one of the most important labor strikes of Americaโs โroaring twenties.โ Gonzales unearths the lives and struggles of a generation of long-forgotten men and women in Coloradoโs coal fields who revolted against intolerable conditions to demand a better world.โ โKenyon Zimmer

Michael Robert Gonzales deftly traces the ways that immigration, colonization, racism, patriarchy, and exploitation can shape rebel consciousness. This richly researched and passionately argued book teaches us how much we stand to learn from rank-and-file organizers who came before us. By recounting their courage, strategy, and intellectual contributions, Gonzales reminds us that there is still a world still to win." โ@christinaheatherton
