Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching: A Young Black Man’s Education

An unflinching account of what it means to be a young black man in America today, and how the existing script for black manhood is being rewritten in one of the most fascinating periods of American history. How do you learn to be a black man in America? For young black men today, it means coming of age during the presidency of Barack Obama. It means witnessing the deaths of Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Akai Gurley, and too many more. It means celebrating powerful moments of black self-determination for LeBron James, Dave Chappelle, and Frank Ocean. In Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching, Mychal Denzel Smith chronicles his own personal and political education during these tumultuous years, describing his efforts to come into his own in a world that denied his humanity. Smith unapologetically upends reigning assumptions about black masculinity, rewriting the script for black manhood so that depression and anxiety aren't considered taboo, and feminism and LGBTQ rights become part of the fight. The questions Smith asks in this book are urgent -- for him, for the martyrs and the tokens, and for the Trayvons that could have been and are still waiting.

Embroidery: A Modern Guide to Botanical Embroidery

From the author: History shows that most embroidery exists somewhere between the more structured ‘counted threads’ technique, where patterns and repetitions are based on the weave of the base cloth, and a more ‘free–style’ technique, where embroidery work is limited only by how you want to express your design. My approach to embroidery is similar to the way I draw and, I think, is consistent with a more modern approach. I enjoy the freedom of…
