I picked up three books from this fantastic sale. You can pick up my book SEARCHING FOR BLACK CONFEDERATES: THE CIVIL WAR'S MOST PERSISTENT MYTH at 50% off.

Already own it? That's OK. Send a copy to your neo-Confederate uncle. uncpress.org/978146965326...

Max Chapnick & I are proud of this forum commemorating the 150th anniversary of Louisa May Alcott's novel _Work_. Six innovative authors offer insights on C19 gender & labor in literature, very needed as we stand on the precipice of a new Gilded Age & a nadir of modern gender justice. Open Access! 🧵

The daily barrage of evil made me hold back on a cover reveal, but maybe this is the day. Out later in 2025, this book, like 7000+ books & so many other rich projects, would not exist without the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities. These stories must be told & we must save the NEH.

19th century US history is replete with examples of collective organizing in resistance to tyranny. Slavery could not have been abolished without underground and out in the open organized collective resistance and refusal to comply with unjust law.
