Sex Matters tracks the price we have paid for denying sex differences and stoking the war of the sexes - family breakdown, declining female happiness, aimlessness among men, and increasing inequality. Marshaling copious social science research as well as her own experience as a professional as well as a wife and mother, Mona Charen calls for a sexual ceasefire for the sake of women, men, and children.

This audiobook is about why black hair matters and how it can be viewed as a blueprint for decolonisation. Emma Dabiri takes us from pre-colonial Africa, through the Harlem Renaissance, Black Power and on to today's Natural Hair Movement, the cultural appropriation wars and beyond. We look at everything from hair capitalists like Madam C.J. Walker in the early 1900s to the rise of Shea Moisture today, from women's solidarity and friendship to 'black people time', forgotten African scholars and the dubious provenance of Kim Kardashian's braids.

Alisado. Estigmatizado. «Domado». Celebrado. Borrado. Gestionado. Apropiado. Siempre incomprendido. El pelo negro nunca es «solo pelo». Este libro trata de por qué el cabello negro es importante y de cómo puede considerarse un modelo de descolonización. A lo largo de una serie de ensayos irónicos e informados, Emma Dabiri nos lleva desde el África precolonial, pasando por el Renacimiento de Harlem, el Black Power y hasta el actual movimiento del pelo natural, la apropiación cultural y más allá.

Somebody Hold Me walks you through the increasingly fraught physical space between humans and allows for more connection and closeness through giving and receiving structured touch in your existing relationships.
