Oppressed mothers create a generous space for life in the face of life-threatening limits, activate a powerful vision of the future while navigating tangible concerns in the present, move beyond individual narratives of choice toward collective solutions, live for more than ourselves, and remain accountable to a future that we cannot always see. The challenges we face as movements working for racial, economic, reproductive, gender, and food justice, as well as anti-violence, anti-imperialist, and queer liberation are the same challenges that many mothers face every day. Inspired by the legacy of radical and queer Black feminists of the 1970s and ’80s, Revolutionary Mothering places marginalized mothers of color at the center of a world of necessary transformation. ![]() ![]() One day, however, Jon discovers a new talent- the ability of astral projection for lack of better words, that allows him to leave his body and soar around anywhere.

While waiting for the verdict of her case, she takes scornful note of a newspaper headline about a lock of David Bowie’s hair going up for auction as though it were a religious relic. Eva Hoffe, despite being Brod’s heir, makes the case for treating the material legacy of great artists as ordinary, if valuable property against the quasi-mystical fetishization in which nation-states and individual followers of a personality cult are apt to indulge. ![]() ![]() Not only are they doomed to die young and violently, but they bring the same fate to anyone they choose as friends or lovers. ![]() The Villarca family, around which the novel is centered, is doubly cursed.
