In stunning new images, the modern Christ figure is jeered by fundamentalists, tortured by Marine look-alikes, and rises again to enjoy homoerotic moments with God. His surprisingly diverse friends join him on a journey from suffering to freedom. Readers call it \"accessible but profound.\" Some are moved to tears. The 24 paintings in the gay Passion cover Jesus' final days, including his arrest, trial, crucifixion, and resurrection. A queer Passion is important now because Christianity is being used to justify hate and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Each image is accompanied by insightful commentary, plus a short prayer and scripture. If Jesus came back today, would he be crucified all over again? Would we even recognize him?

The panoramic story, composed under the worst of circumstances, traces the transformation of a sensitive young man into a fiery agitator, and presents a revealing new perspective on the background and causes of the revolution that transformed the face of the twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmong the millions of victims of the reign of terror in the Soviet Union of the 1930's, Bukharin stands out as a special case. Not yet 30 when the Bolsheviks took power, he was one of the youngest, most popular, and most intellectual members of the Communist Party. In the 1920's and 30's, he defended Lenin's liberal New Economic Policy, claiming that Stalin's policies of forced industrialization constituted a \"military-feudal exploitation\" of the masses. He also warned of the approaching tide of European fascism and its threat to the new Bolshevik revolution. For his opposition, Bukharin paid with his freedom and his life. He was arrested and spent a year in prison. In what was one of the most infamous \"show trials\" of the time, Bukharin confessed to being a \"counterrevolutionary\" while denying any particular crime and was executed in his prison cell on March 15, 1938. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile in prison, Bukharin wrote four books, of which this unfinished novel was the last. It traces the development of Nikolai \"Kolya\" Petrov (closely modeled on Nikolai \"Kolya\" Bukharin) from his early childhood though to age fifteen. In lyrical and poetic terms it paints a picture of Nikolai's growing political consciousness and ends with his activism on the eve of the failed 1905 revolution. The novel is presented here along with the only surviving letter from Bukharin to his wife during his time in prison, an epistle filled with fear, longing, and hope for his family and his nation. The introduction by Stephen F. Cohen articulates Bukharin's significance in Soviet history and reveals the troubled journey of this novel from Stalin's archives into the light of day.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNikolai Bukharin (1888-1938) was a Bolshevik intellectual and revolutionary, as well as the author of more than a hundred articles and books.

For proud as they were of Jackie's enormous success, none of them was prepared for the profound impact her genius would have on each of their lives. . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHilary du Pré\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ePiers du Pré \u003c\/b\u003eco-wrote \u003ci\u003eA Genius in the Family\u003c\/i\u003e (republished as \u003ci\u003eHilary and Jackie\u003c\/i\u003e), which tells the story of the life of their sister, Jacqueline. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHilary du Pré\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ePiers du Pré \u003c\/b\u003eco-wrote \u003ci\u003eA Genius in the Family\u003c\/i\u003e (republished as \u003ci\u003eHilary and Jackie\u003c\/i\u003e), which tells the story of the life of their sister, Jacqueline.\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 8.24 x 5.52 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 07, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e\n ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47467855479037,"sku":"9780345432711","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/MmJQZnkybm53UDZZTzdFTktXRGdVQT09.webp?v=1777281198"},{"product_id":"the-binding-chair-or-a-visit-from-the-foot-emancipation-society-paperback","title":"The Binding Chair: Or, a Visit from the Foot Emancipation Society - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eKathryn Harrison\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn poised and elegant prose, Kathryn Harrison weaves a stunning story of women, travel, and flight; of love, revenge, and fear; of the search for home and the need to escape it.

Beginning with anecdotal reminiscences about childhood - his own, and that of his son, Fraser, and now his grandson, Jack - and concluding with letters of love and encouragement and wisdom to five-year-old Jack, he addresses those points in life he feels are essential in becoming a man. From his belief in the importance of family, to being brave and determined in whatever one undertakes, to understanding and appreciating one's heritage while remaining open to the huge and hugely diverse world we live in, to love of freedom and support of one's country, to the essentials of being not just a man, but a good man - honesty, integrity, loyalty, appreciation of friendship, and good sportsmanship - Charlton Heston offers words of guidance and sage wisdom that ultimately are applicable not only to Jack, but to all men, everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharlton Heston was an actor, political activist, and Hollywood star.

Du Bois, one of the most celebrated intellectuals of the twentieth century, published Darkwater -- a powerful collection of essays, verse and fiction -- in 1920, two decades after his most famous book, The Souls of Black Folk. Throughout his long life and extraordinary career as a scholar, activist, writer and educator, Du Bois's body of work illumined America's understanding of the \"problem of the color line.\" While much of his early texts were sociological investigations of the Black community, the author increasingly incorporated autobiographical, poetic and spiritual elements into his works. The results are some of the most electrifying commentaries ever written on race and class in America. After decades of obscurity, this literary jewel is presented with a new introduction written by David Levering Lewis, author of W.E.B. Du Bois: Biography of a Race, 1868-1919 and W.E.B. Du Bois: The Fight for Equality and the American Century, 1919-1963; Lewis is the foremost scholar of the work of Du Bois. \"If The Souls of Black Folk achieved its singular impact through W.E.B. Du Bois's masterly interweaving of the personal and the universal in such a way that each appropriated something of the illustrative and symbolic value of the other, much of Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil was a cri de coeur in which the author's anger at the absurdities of racial prejudice crackled through the text like electric jolts that scorched, illumined, or stunned.\" -- David Levering Lewis, from the Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 8.82 x 5.31 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468112904445,"sku":"9780743460606","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/cCt1OGJLaGJlZFdyclNjcHU4cWdPQT09.webp?v=1777285423"},{"product_id":"of-one-blood-or-the-hidden-self-the-givens-collection-paperback","title":"Of One Blood: Or, the Hidden Self: The Givens Collection - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003ePauline Hopkins\u003c\/b\u003e (Author), \u003cb\u003eDeborah McDowell\u003c\/b\u003e (Introduction by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Mysticism, horror, and racial identity merge fluidly in this thrilling tale of love, obsession, and power\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e) written by one of the lesser-known literary figures of the much-lauded Harlem Renaissance.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePauline Hopkins is considered by some to be the most prolific African-American woman writer and the most influential literary editor of the first decade of the twentieth century, and \u003ci\u003eOf One Blood\u003c\/i\u003e is the last of four novels she wrote. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMixed-race medical student Reuel Briggs doesn't give a damn about being Black and cares less for African history.

That year, however, as Indonesia embarked on a period of intense social unrest, Pramoedya and tens of thousands of others were detained and eventually exiled to the remote island of Buru. Imprisoned on Buru for eleven years without trial or formal accusation, Pramoedya and his fellow prisoners were forced to clear dense tracts of jungle, build camps, and forage for food. They died by the hundreds of starvation, brutality, and disease. Whether he is narrating the story of a fellow prisoner, remembering the dead and the missing, discussing what is means to be a citizen, or giving advise to his children in letters he knew they would never receive, Pramoedya's courage, integrity, and commitment to social justice are in powerful evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePramoedya Ananta Toer\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of more than thirty books, including \u003cem\u003eThe Fugitive\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Mute's Soliloquy\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Girl from the Coast\u003c\/em\u003e, and is published in more than thirty countries.

What complicates his life as an inmate is his sexual orientation. In life, being gay is difficult enough; in prison, it can be a horrendous ordeal. Attempting suicide, taking drugs, and having illicit sex were only some of the self-destructive behaviors Reginald dabbled in. His only sanity came from family visits and frequent phone calls to relatives, especially his mother, his reaching out to God, and his few genuine friendships formed in jail, particularly with Lamont. This is not to say Reginald was an angel during his stay at DCP. He had plenty of jailhouse crushes, some of them inappropriate - like his infatuation with Teddy Cunningham. Teddy had it all: looks, money, respect, and a big love muscle that Reginald just lusted for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 193\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 8.34 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47469226721533,"sku":"9780970380333","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/eGIxc002eTBoTk4rdVN1Rk5rS24xQT09.webp?v=1777309261"},{"product_id":"nobody-knows-my-name-paperback","title":"Nobody Knows My Name - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eJames Baldwin\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom one of the most brilliant writers and thinkers of the twentieth century comes a collection of \"passionate, probing, controversial\" essays (\u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e) on topics ranging from race relations in the United States to the role of the writer in society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTold with Baldwin's characteristically unflinching honesty, this \"splendid book\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e) offers illuminating, deeply felt essays along with personal accounts of Richard Wright, Norman Mailer and other writers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"James Baldwin is a skillful writer, a man of fine intelligence and a true companion in the desire to make life human.

In 1994, Laroche and three Seminole Indians were arrested with rare orchids they had stolen from a wild swamp in south Florida that is filled with some of the world's most extraordinary plants and trees. Laroche had planned to clone the orchids and then sell them for a small fortune to impassioned collectors. After he was caught in the act, Laroche set off one of the oddest legal controversies in recent memory, which brought together environmentalists, Native Amer-ican activists, and devoted orchid collectors. The result is a tale that is strange, compelling, and hilarious. \u003cbr\u003e\"New Yorker writer Susan Orlean followed Laroche through swamps and into the eccentric world of Florida's orchid collectors, a subculture of aristocrats, fanatics, and smugglers whose obsession with plants is all-consuming. Along the way, Orlean learned the history of orchid collecting, discovered an odd pattern of plant crimes in Florida, and spent time with Laroche's partners, a tribe of Seminole Indians who are still at war with the United States. \u003cbr\u003eThere is something fascinating or funny or truly bizarre on every page of The Orchid Thief: the story of how the head of a famous Seminole chief came to be displayed in the front window of a local pharmacy; or how seven hundred iguanas were smuggled into Florida; or the case of the only known extraterrestrial plant crime. Ultimately, however, Susan Orlean's book is about passion itself, and the amazing lengths to which peoplewill go to gratify it.

Marlo moved from New York to London to make it in the music business, aided by the money made at her day job as a luxury retail manager. Her plans are bamoozled when she starts to lose her eyesight after only a month of living in her dream city! Through a series of roller coaster events taking her to Paris, Miami, London, and New York, she is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the most common disabling neurogical disease affecting young adults today.\r\n\r\nFrom the Author\r\nThank you for your interest and\/or purchase of my book.\r\nI started writing this to explain to people who didn't have multiple sclerosis how I was feeling. But as I met more and more people with MS, I realized that there were many similarities to their story! That was when I saw that the book was also useful for some people who actually have MS.\r\nThis book chronicles my diagnosis; the time in an MS'ers life when we are saying, 'what the heck is going on?' 'Am I crazy?' Well, we are not crazy. Okay, maybe I am a little. How else could I tell strangers about my toilet troubles in the same book that I talk about my fabulous heels?\r\nI do hope you enjoy it. Read it with a cup of tea and pretend I am sitting with you, telling what happened! Thanks again!\r\n\r\nMarlo\r\n\r\nAbout the Author\r\nAmerican author, Marlo Donato Parmelee was born 29 May, 1972, and is the youngest daughter of an Irish mother and Sicilian- American father.

Her work in the LGBT movement spanned from the late 1950s until her death in 2007. Her partner in life, Kay Lahusen, photographed many of the movement's biggest actions during the 1960s, and more than 270 photos accompany this biography. This book is available in both color and B\u0026amp;W editions, and in color on Kindle by July 2015. Gittings was active in a wide range of pre- and post-Stonewall groups, including the Daughters of Bilitis. She served as editor of DOB's newsletter, The Ladder. She worked with Frank Kameny on many protests and legal cases fighting government discrimination. She also was among the leaders of the push to change the American Psychiatric Association diagnosis of homosexuality as an illness, and among those pushing the American Library Association to be more inclusive of gays. The book is available in both B\u0026amp;W and color editions on Amazon, and also in color on Kindle. \"Baim's book, the first full-length biography of Barbara Gittings, demonstrates why Frank Kameny, who earned the right to be considered a father of the gay civil-rights movement, so aptly deemed Gittings its mother. As Baim shows, more than any lesbian leader of the 20th century, Gittings kept her eyes sharply focused on the prize of civil rights for gay people.\" - From the Foreword by Lillian Faderman \"This first and deeply moving biography of Barbara Gittings, pioneer of lesbian political activism, dramatically evokes a past of open, outrageous anti-homosexual discrimination. Today's radically different world was first imagined and then begun to be built by daring activists like Gittings.\" - Jonathan Ned Katz, Co-Director, OutHistory.org \"Tracy Baim brings Gittings to life in this captivating and inspiring biography. Skillfully combining Gittings' own words with accounts of her activist campaigns, this biography makes clear how much Gittings accomplished. A committed activist for five decades, Barbara Gittings truly changed the world. \" - Author and Historian John D'Emilio (In a New Century: Essays on Queer History, Politics, and Community Life) \"Barbara Gittings just about leaps from the pages of Tracy Baim's celebratory biography of the gay rights movement's happiest warrior. Determined, persistent, persuasive, and wicked-smart, Barbara wielded her smile like a machete, demolishing all demagogues and fools who got in the way of what she knew to be true about herself and the rest of us. How lucky were we that she was born at a time when we so desperately needed her to help blaze our path to freedom.\" - Eric Marcus, author of Making Gay History \"Tracy Baim has captured the life and legacy of the mother of gay liberation in America with this book. Barbara Gittings would have loved it. Another incredible book on our history \" - Reverend Troy Perry \"Gittings understood early on the critical role America's libraries would play in changing hearts and minds about gay issues. In an age before the Internet, she dedicated her life to making good information available to all through her leadership in the Gay Task Force of the American Library Association. This powerful biography tells a story that libraries across the nation can celebrate.\" - John Cunningham, Retired Chief of Branch and Regional Libraries, The Free Library of Philadelphia\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 236\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 10 x 7.01 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 13, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47644646605053,"sku":"9781512019742","price":40.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/MmlMTExPVEcyNjNXUGkyWFVpZnNsUT09.webp?v=1780545359"}],"url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/collections\/fiction.oembed","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
