If she doesn't get the Bible back, every witch on the planet will die. ![]() But when a frustratingly sexy stranger named Bishop enters Indie's world, she learns her destiny involves a lot more than pom-poms and parties. And the dusty old family Bible her mom is freakishly possessive of is stolen. Sure, her quirky mom owns an occult shop, and a nerd just won't stop trying to be her friend, but Indie is a popular cheerleader with a football-star boyfriend and a social circle powerful enough to ruin everyone at school. If high school is all about social status, Indigo Blackwood has it made. It's The Craft meets Bring It On in Hexed, the first novel in a brand-new series from debut author Michelle Krys in which a snarky sixteen-year-old cheerleader is forced into a centuries-old war between witches and sorcerers only to uncover the first of many dark truths about her life. ![]()

6/29/2023 0 Comments The book woman of![]() ![]() Cussy’s patrons refer to her as “Bluet” or “Book Woman,” and she delights in bringing them books as well as messages, medicine, and advice. As part of the new governmental program aimed at bringing reading material to isolated rural Kentuckians, Cussy rides a mule over treacherous terrain, delivering books and periodicals to people of limited means.

At the heart of capitalism and Euromodern colonialism is a set of lies through which humanity is presumed closed in locked binaries of conquerors and conquered and their accompanying forms of invisibility: racialization, primitivization, silencing, exoticization, and (as Boaventura de Sousa and others have shown) epistemicide. ![]() This talk is based on Lewis Gordon’s newest book Fear of Black Consciousness just published. Upper-case Black consciousness is the active understanding of colonized and racialized peoples as agents of history who, along with all those whom Frantz Fanon characterized as “the Damned of the Earth,” who break the bonds of caricatured two-dimensional history into the dialectical openness of possibility. Lower-case black consciousness, he argues, is the form of consciousness imposed upon people racialized as black in the Euromodern world of global capitalism and colonialism. ![]() Gordon examines the distinction between black and Black consciousness, and the conception of political life at work in the latter as a commitment to the struggle for liberation and freedom. ![]() ![]() ![]() And for Paul to win her trust would mean betraying his mission.
