Why Solange Matters - Stephanie Phillips

A ROUGH TRADE, THE TIMES, CLASH BOOK OF THE YEARThe dramatic story of Solange: a musician and artist whose unconventional journey to international success was far more important than her family name. ''Why Solange Matters is a significant and sober treatise on popular music . . . This book is more than necessary.''THURSTON MOORE''The author''s prose sparkles . . . This is a book about what freedom could look like for Black women.''CALEB AZUMAH NELSON, OBSERVER''Invigorating . . . much more than a dry thesis and at times something nearer to personal reverie.''IAN PENMAN, LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS''A love letter to quirkly black creatives . . . [Phillips''] vibrant writing reminds us how Solange lit "the flame of creativity" within many Black women.'' gal-demGrowing up in the shadow of her superstar sister, Beyoncé, and defying an industry that attempted to bend her to its rigid image of a Black woman, Solange Knowles has become a pivotal musician and artist in her own right.In Why Solange Matters, Stephanie Phillips chronicles the creative journey of Solange, a beloved voice of the Black Lives Matter generation. A Black feminist punk musician herself, Phillips addresses not only the unpredictable trajectory of Solange’s career but also how she and other Black women see themselves through the musician’s repertoire. First, she traces Solange’s progress through an inflexible industry, charting the artist’s development up to 2016, when the release of her third album, A Seat at the Table, redefined her career. With this record and, then, When I Get Home (2019), Phillips describes how Solange has embraced activism, anger, Black womanhood and intergenerational trauma to inform her remarkable art.Why Solange Matters not only cements the subject in the pantheon of world-changing twenty-first-century musicians, it introduces its writer as an important new voice.

Jungle Commandos - Lucy Betteridge-Dyson

Drawing on unpublished first-hand accounts, this is a gripping history of the experiences of the Commandos and their unsung allies in one of the bloodiest battles of the Burma Campaign.Following the battles of Kohima and Imphal in mid-1944, the tide was turning against the Imperial Japanese Army. By the end of that fateful year, the Allies were preparing to launch an offensive in the Arakan region of Burma, to deliver a knockout blow to the increasingly desperate Japanese 28th Army. This fascinating new history details the actions of 3 Commando Brigade, who would spearhead this attack in a series of daring amphibious landings into the depths of the Burmese jungle, culminating in the brutal fight for Hill 170.They would be the only Commando Brigade to serve in the Far East, yet their story has never before been told in detail. With access to previously unseen primary sources, this book is the story of the men who volunteered for a fight against a fearless enemy, 5000 miles away from home in one of the most unforgiving environments in the world. Thrown into combat with limited jungle training and scant resources, it would be a baptism of fire, but the Commandos, alongside the brave men of the Indian and West African Divisions of XV Corps, would inflict a terrible defeat on an enemy once thought to be unbeatable.Written by a granddaughter of a Commando veteran who fought at Arakan, this new book shines a light on a largely forgotten yet crucial battle of World War II.

American Daughter - Elissa Wald, Stephanie Thornton Plymale

The sharp and surprising true story of a woman who finally sets out to understand her past, and the mother she had one day hoped to forget. Full of unexpected twists and unbelievable revelations, American Daughter is an immersive memoir that will have you on the edge of your seat to the very last page.For years, Stephanie Plymale, successful CEO and interior designer, kept her past a fiercely guarded secret. Only her husband knew that her childhood was fraught with every imaginable hardship: neglect, hunger, poverty, homelessness, truancy, foster homes, a harrowing lack of medical care, and worse. Stephanie, in turn, knew very little about the past of her mother, who was in and out of jails and psych wards for most of Stephanie''s formative years. All this changed when a series of shocking revelations forced Stephanie to revisit her tortured past and revise the meaning of every aspect of her compromised childhood.American Daughter is the extraordinary true story of a young girl growing up on the wrong side of the American Dream. Stephanie has slept in blankets on the floor of crowded apartments, lived in the back seat of a car with her siblings, and spent decades looking over her shoulder at a mother who might just as easily hug or harm her. American Daughter is at once a moving account of a troubled mother-daughter relationship and a meditation on resilience, transcendence, and ultimately, redemption.

He is meeting a scientist in a club/restaurant in London when the scientist is kidnapped and the recipe for a potent new explosive is taken. Pamela Van Teyl, a wealthy American girl who does enigmatic tasks for her country, frequents the same eatery. Baron Sunyea, the Japanese envoy, and Mr. Fischer, a German American millionaire, are also in attendance. In addition to seeking secrets, the soldiers also seek love. In this book, the action takes place in the spring of 1916. Germany is doing everything it can to maintain US neutrality and prevent them from joining the conflict. Japan is viewed as a future force that may oppose or aid Germany's aspirations for world dominance. In the story, German American merchants scheme to keep America neutral or undermine its capacity to aid the English and the French. American lawmakers are bought off, and industries are set on fire. The narrative makes extensive use of the Battle of Jutland, which occurred at the end of May 1916. While the war was still raging in Europe, the book was released in March 1918.

The Original Zodiac - Graham Phillips

Discover the world’s earliest known system of astrology• Explores ancient Mesopotamian astrology, which originated with those who created Göbekli Tepe, and details the system’s eighteen zodiac signs• Shares the author’s decades-long research to decipher the meanings and characteristics behind each of the original eighteen signs• Shows how the original zodiac can enrich and expand our understanding of astrology, personal relationships, and our sense of self and destinyToday the zodiac is divided into twelve signs through which the sun appears to travel in a year. A person’s sign can influence their personality, physical characteristics, and fate. However, in ancient Mesopotamia, the first zodiac was divided into eighteen signs different from the Western and Vedic systems in use today. The Original Zodiac reveals, for the first time in over 4,000 years, this earliest form of astrology.The original Mesopotamian zodiac offered very different birth signs, including the Serpent, Swan, Crane, Horse, Wolf, and Eagle. This zodiac was recorded on a clay tablet that is now housed in the British Museum, cataloged as BM 86378, but there is no written record of how these signs were interpreted. Now, after decades of intensive research, Graham reveals the meanings of these mysterious signs and their relevance for our times. To determine what traits might be shared by those born in each sign of the original zodiac, Graham comprehensively surveyed hundreds of volunteers from diverse backgrounds. He measured each participant’s likes, dislikes, hobbies, habits, employment, health information, and other pertinent aspects of their lives and identities. Not intended to replace or challenge our traditional understanding of astrology, this book offers an original system to enrich our current knowledge.Unveiling the earliest known system of astrology discovered in the world, this book reveals, for the first time in millennia, the personality, character, and destiny of those born in each of its enigmatic signs.
