Book Description
Land controversies are as old as humanity itself; wars have been fought over land; countries have been colonised for land; indeed it can be argued that all conflicts in the world are, ultimately, about land. Yet in spite of many years 'experience' in fighting over land, we seem no closer to a solution. After twenty years of achieving 'Nationhood', Zimbabwe made an effort to tackle this age old problem within its borders; pitting the 'privileged' white land owners, to whom history had given certain advantages, against their poorer black fellow country folk to whom the same history had been rather unkind. It is therefore a story that generally evokes much emotion and is often told from one side or the other. This novel attempts to tell, in a balanced, fair and unbiased manner, the story of Zimbabwe's attempt to resolve 'the land question'. The result is an engaging, well woven story whose fictitious disguise depicts with uncanny accuracy, the complications, contradictions and controversies that dogged the process and some of the unintended and unfortunate results of it.

Book Description
In 1980, Zimbabwe gained its independence from a minority white government. Tribes of indigenous black people expected to reclaim their ancestors' land, which had been taken over by white farmers. But after twenty years, the tribes were still forced to live on barren, crowded "reserves." Now, as Who's Land Is It Anyway begins, it's 2000, and some tribes have had enough. The Zimbabwe Patriot Alliance (ZIPA), a socialist organization, was supposed to right past wrongs, but ZIPA leaders became greedy and corrupt and did nothing to improve the plight of the displaced natives. Now a new political party is making promises... But Chief Juru has had enough. He decides to take matters into his own hands and forcefully confront the white farmers living on his land. But will the decision-makers of Zimbabwe side with the chief or the white farmers? Find out in this fascinating new work of historical fiction that gives a voice to the many Zimbabweans who were wronged. Along the way, the book will give you an eye-opening look at the many sticky issues intertwined in Zimbabwe's "land question" and, perhaps, a new perspective on what it means to be fair and humane.

Book Description
In recent decades, rising land prices and ever-increasing demand for housing have made it incredibly difficult for farms to sustain themselves in Britain--with dangerous consequences for food supplies. Government attention to the issue has been limited at best, which has led to speculation and the loss of more and more farmland. With Whose Land Is Our Land? Peter Hetherington mounts a powerful argument for a more active, forward-thinking policy, one that acknowledges the importance of farming, rural society, and food security and takes stronger action to curb speculation and rampant overbuilding.

Book Description
2015 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Winner of the Anna Julia Cooper/CLR James Award for Outstanding Book in Africana Studies presented by the National Council for Black Studies Demonstrates how Harlemite’s dynamic fight for their rights and neighborhood raised the black community’s racial consciousness and established Harlem’s legendary political culture In Whose Harlem Is This, Anyway?, Shannon King vividly uncovers early twentieth century Harlem as an intersection between the black intellectuals and artists who created the New Negro Renaissance and the working class who found fought daily to combat institutionalized racism and gender discrimination in both Harlem and across the city. New Negro activists, such as Hubert Harrison and Frank Crosswaith, challenged local forms of economic and racial inequality in attempts to breakdown the structural manifestations that upheld them. Insurgent stay-at-home black mothers took negligent landlords to court, complaining to magistrates about the absence of hot water and heat in their apartment buildings. Black men and women, propelling dishes, bricks, and other makeshift weapons from their apartment windows and their rooftops, retaliated against hostile policemen harassing blacks on the streets of Harlem. From the turn of the twentieth century to the Great Depression, black Harlemites mobilized around local issues—such as high rents, jobs, leisure, and police brutality—to make their neighborhood an autonomous black community. In Whose Harlem Is This, Anyway?, Shannon King demonstrates how, against all odds, the Harlemite’s dynamic fight for their rights and neighborhood raised the black community’s racial consciousness and established Harlem’s legendary political culture. By the end of the 1920s, Harlem had experience a labor strike, a tenant campaign for affordable rents, and its first race riot. These public forms of protest and discontent represented the dress rehearsal for black mass mobilization in the 1930s and 1940s. By studying blacks' immense investment in community politics, King makes visible the hidden stirrings of a social movement deeply invested in a Black Harlem. Whose Harlem Is This, Anyway? Is a vibrant story of the shaping of a community during a pivotal time in American History.

Book Description
In her debut collection of short stories, Islands of Decolonial Love, renowned writer and activist Leanne Simpson vividly explores the lives of contemporary Indigenous Peoples and communities, especially those of her own Nishnaabeg nation. Found on reserves, in cities and small towns, in bars and curling rinks, canoes and community centres, doctors offices and pickup trucks, Simpson's characters confront the often heartbreaking challenge of pairing the desire to live loving and observant lives with a constant struggle to simply survive the historical and ongoing injustices of racism and colonialism. Told with voices that are rarely recorded but need to be heard, and incorporating the language and history of her people, Leanne Simpson's Islands of Decolonial Love is a profound, important, and beautiful book of fiction.
