Build Bridges, Not Walls
The US border is going to continue to be a high profile national issue no matter who wins the White House in 2020. Todd Miller, an award-winning border journalist with twenty years experience, enters the debate with the most humanist and controversial solution: abolish borders . Directly inspired by the accessible pamphlet-size concept of We Should All Be Feminists , this new book presents Miller’s essential views through personal first-hand anecdotes, experience, and personal reflections on how our collective security and humanity will be strengthened by a world without borders. Given the escalating humanitarian crisis surrounding the militarization of US immigration and border policy, Miller offers direct resistance to U.S. racism, intolerance, and militarism, and calls for solidarity with the countless individuals and families driven here by poverty, climate change, and violence, all three of which have frequently been caused or worsened by U.S. foreign policies, trade practices, and interventions. Build Bridges Not Walls calls on readers to imagine and build a different kind of world, one in which security and sustainability are achieved through cooperation, not competition; kindness, not cruelty, and solidarity, not surveillance. In the author’s words, “ Build Bridges, Not Walls is a pithy guide to imagining a world without borders, through an entertaining memoir that includes twenty years of border reporting. It is essential reading for the Trump era in which many people crave practical alternatives to walls, prison camps, and families torn apart.” Todd Miiller has become, from his first publication with City Lights in 2014 through his last book in 2019 from Verso, THE voice on immigration issues as it relates to the border, his work in Storming the Wall from 2017 was an extremely prescient argument connecting border militarization and climate change. It was the winner of the 2018 Izzy Award for Excellence in Independent Journalism. Todd's writing has appeared in the New York Times, The Nation, San Francisco Chronicle, Yes! Magazine, TomDispatch, In These Times, Texas Observer, Al Jazeera, Tucson Weekly, NACLA, and Jacobin. Todd's many years doing this work traveling around the country, and his authority on the subject, has earned him a good following social media and contacts around the country at universities and bookstores.
Operation Dragon
Former Director of Central Intelligence R. James Woolsey and former Romanian acting spy chief Lt. General Ion Mihai Pacepa, who was granted political asylum in the U.S. in 1978, describe why Russia remains an extremely dangerous force in the world, and they finally and definitively put to rest the question of who killed President Kennedy on November 22, 1963.All evidence points to the fact that the assassination—carried out by Lee Harvey Oswald—was ordered by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, acting through what was essentially the Russian leader’s personal army, the KGB (now known as the FSB). This evidence, which is codified as most things in foreign intelligence are, has never before been jointly decoded by a top U.S. foreign intelligence leader and a former Soviet Bloc spy chief familiar with KGB patterns and codes.Meanwhile, dozens of conspiracy theorists have written books about the JFK assassination during the past fifty-six years. Most of these theories blame America and were largely triggered by the KGB disinformation campaign implemented in the intense effort to remove Russia’s own fingerprints that blamed in turn Lyndon Johnson, the CIA, secretive groups of American oilmen, Howard Hughes, Fidel Castro, and the Mafia.Russian propaganda sowed hatred and contempt for the U.S. quite effectively, and its operations have morphed into many forms, including the recruitment of global terror groups and the backing of enemy nation- states. Yet it was the JFK assassination, with its explosive aftermath of false conspiracy theories, that set the model for blaming America first.
Eat the Mouth That Feeds You
Debut collection of stories by Carribean Fragoza, who is poised to break out as one of Chicanx writing’s «new stars.» This short-story collection is especially timely, since it confronts the United States-Mexico border crisis, the dominance of patriarchal society, and the political projects that are at odds with healthy democracy. Fragoza’s work pushes on the pressure points of our current climate, and offers up feminist takes on our era’s most urgent debates. Her work is comparable to that of classic Chicana writers like Sandra Cisneros and Helena Maria Viramontes; thematic similarities and use of allegory harken back to Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” too, and even Jamaica Kincaid’s “Lucy.” In February 2020, her first book, a collection of writings by and about the people and culture of El Monte, California titled East of East was published by Rutgers University Press. Book cover features a photo by Graciela Iturbid, renowned Mexican photographer. Fragoza’s short stories have published in BOMB Magazine, Huizache , Entropy , the Los Angeles Review of Books , and Tropics of Meta . Her work as a journalist covering art, culture, and social justice issues was recognized with a prestigious LA Press Club Award. She was named co-editor of BOOM Magazine , an important journal of California culture published by the University of California Press. She has worked alongside acclaimed and respected purveyors of literary fiction, including Maggie Nelson, Sesshu Foster and Ben Ehrenreich. Fragoza’s work will appeal to readers of adult literary fiction, and more specifically readers interested in the categories of Latinx/Latino, Chicanx/Chicana/o literature, Latin American Literature, Cultural Studies, and Women Studies and it is a strong fit for college level courses in those subject areas.
Help Me!
I wanted to find out what would happen if I really did follow the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People? Really felt The Power of Now? Could life be transformed? Could I get rich? Skinny? Find love? Be more productive and fulfilled? Because I really did want all the things these books promised. For years Journalist Marianne Power lined her bookshelves with dog-eared copies of definitive guides on how to live your best life, dipping in and out of self-help books when she needed them most. Then, one day, she woke up to find that the life she hoped for and the life she was living were worlds apart—and she set out to make some big changes.Marianne decided to finally find out if her elusive “perfect existence”—the one without debt, anxiety, or hangover Netflix marathons, the one where she healthily bounced around town and met the cashmere-sweater-wearing man of her dreams—really did lie in the pages of our best known and acclaimed self help books. She vowed to test a book a month for one year, following its advice to the letter, taking what she hoped would be the surest path to a flawless new her. But as the months passed and Marianne’s reality was turned upside down, she found herself confronted with a different question: Self-help can change your life, but is it for the better?With humor, audacity, disarming candor and unassuming wisdom, in Help Me Marianne Power plumbs the trials and tests of being a modern woman in a “have it all” culture, and what it really means to be our very best selves.
Information Wars
Informed by Richard Stengel's time working in the State Department, Information Wars is first and only insider account of how the global rise of disinformation–namely the disinformation of Russia and Donald Trump–impacted the 2016 election.Richard Stengel is a prominent journalist who served the editor of Time for seven years, from 2006-2013. In 2013, Stengel left Time to serve as Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs under Barrack Obama, a job he held from from 2013-2016. This book is incredibly urgent and timely, as the relationship between Russia and President Trump continues to be under investigation, and as America persists in its attempt to get to the bottom of exactly what happened with Russia during the 2016 election. Stengel illuminates exactly how we got here, an analysis that will be especially welcome and buzz worthy as we watch the campaigns for the 2020 US presidential election unfold. The timing of publication could not be better–Grove will publish Information Wars in October 2019, well before the 2020 election, but as the presidential campaigns are gaining steam. Information Wars is guaranteed to attract major media attention and, due to its timeliness, will certainly be a hot topic of discussion on radio and television in addition to in print. Information Wars is a shocking and informative read, and Stengel is an excellent, clear, and astute writer who has written several other books. In the 90s, he collaborated with Nelson Mandela on the South African leader's autobiography Long Walk to Freedom . Stengel later wrote Mandela's Way, a New York Times best-seller, on his experience working with Mandela. He is the author of several other books, including January Sun , a book about life in a small South African town as well as You're Too Kind: A Brief History of Flattery. He lives in New York.

Particulate Matter
In concise and distilled prose, Lemus presents a collection of still lifes, landscapes, and portraits of a challenging year that threatened all she loved most. “An unforgettable meditation on [Felicia Luna Lemus’s] experiences . . . Lemus bears an unmatched precision of the craft. This succinct mic drop of a personal story begs to be read over and over again.”– Booklist "With playful and warm prose, Lemus takes readers into the most difficult year of her life and marriage. Set in Los Angeles, it chronicles her [spouse's] sudden and serious adult-onset asthma, and the literal and figurative fires that raged that year over their lives."– Autostraddle , included in 65 Queer and Feminist Books Coming Your Way in Fall 2020"Lush and vibrant even in its sparseness, Felicia Luna Lemus's Particulate Matter masterfully evokes the fragmentary experience of moving through time and space. Episodes flash by us, eliciting worry or wonder, defeat or delight. It can all change in a moment, Lemus assures us. Finding the lyrical in the mundane, Lemus's lines pause motion, require the reader to consider what informs the impulse, what lies in the spare space between yes or no and fight or flight. These before-and-after moments, and the emotions that attend them–longing, loss, love, anger–mark us, accumulate, become us. Particulate Matter is a powerful exploration of the quickly changing landscapes–fraught, brittle, pensive, luminous–inside us."– Lynell George , author of After/Image: Los Angeles Outside the Frame " Particulate Matter is a blessed offering: Felicia Luna Lemus shows us her fierce and generous heart and soul in gorgeous, tender, playful prose. Come tell me that's hyperbole after you read it."– Elizabeth Crane , author of Turf Particulate Matter is the story of a year in Felicia Luna Lemus's marriage when the world turned upside down. It's set in Los Angeles, and it's about love and crisis, loss and grief, the city and the ocean, ancestral ghosts and history haunting. Nature herself seemed to howl. Fires raged and covered the house Lemus and her spouse shared in ash. Everything crystallized. It was the most challenging and terrifying time she had ever experienced, and yet it was also a time when the sublime beauty of the everyday shone through with particular power and presence.
