A gifted grassroots organizer, Baker shunned the spotlight in favor of vital behind-the-scenes work that helped power the Black freedom struggle.

Story0
Leading sociologist Xolela Mangcu draws on original interviews and archival research – as well as on his own unique understanding of the complexities of Black South African culture – to offer an important corrective account of Mandela's identity, character, and political career. Mangcu not only sets the record straight about Mandela's Thembu, rather than Xhosa, heritage, but also uncovers a fundamental political pragmatism Mandela developed thanks to his family's strategic alliances with colonialists and through his own Victorian-style education at leading British mission schools.

As a boy, severely disabled after contracting polio as a baby in working class Liverpool, Bert Massie found himself wondering why disabled people were expected to adapt to the world around them, and not the other way round. In his teens, he began to campaign for rights for disabled people, and having battled his way through prejudice and the education system to become a Bachelor of Arts and a qualified social worker, he became a prominent figure in the fight for fair treatment for disabled people leading to the ground breaking Disability Discrimination Act.

In February 2018, twenty-four members of Gulchehra Hoja's family disappeared overnight Among them were her elderly parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and their spouses; everyone she had left behind in Ürümchi when she fled to a new life in the United States, arrested by the Chinese state as a direct retaliation for Gulchehra's investigations into the Uyghur plight for Radio Free Asia. For the Uyghur people, this kind of oppression is not unusual. A Stone Is Most Precious Where It Belongs is Gulchehra's stunning memoir, an account of life under Chinese rule in East Turkestan.

Luther Standing Bear was seemingly everywhere in the course of his extraordinary life. He met Chief Crazy Horse on the eve of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, was enrolled in the first class at the government-run Carlisle Indian Industrial School, witnessed the Ghost Dance movement, toured the US and Europe with showman Buffalo Bill, and devoted his later years to Indian rights. His firsthand accounts of those experiences—and his reflections on Sioux culture, customs, and traditions—combine to make this narrative a landmark of Native American literature.

Eleanor Roosevelt was no ordinary First Lady. Her life reads like an epic novel: childhood tragedy, political intrigue, personal betrayal, and ultimate triumph. Born into New York's elite Roosevelt family, Eleanor lost both parents by age ten and was raised by a stern grandmother who criticized her appearance and demeanor. The shy, awkward girl nicknamed "Granny" seemed destined for a quiet life in the shadows.
