This searingly observant illustrated history of the women of Crossroads during the 1970s and 1980s tells a history of past and present organised resistance movements led by black women.
“I heard about the famous women of the Crossroads struggle, which resulted in Crossroads being the only African informal settlement in the 1970s to successfully resist the apartheid bulldozers… I wanted to know what happened to the women who spearheaded the struggle for Crossroads,” so says Koni Benson, the author of this graphic novel-style history, and lecturer in the Department of History at the University of the Western Cape.
Illustrated by South African political cartoonists, André and Nathan Trantraal, together with Ashley Marais, Crossroads: I Live Where I Like, joins some recent histories which are written for both children and adults alike. The candid illustration style and the deeply felt text is a testament not just to the team who produced the book, but to the remaining women of Crossroads, who wanted their stories to have the widest reach possible.
Crossroads: I Live Where I Like is a crucial exploration of a neglected part of South African history. It has all the hallmarks of a book that will be regarded as a pioneer in both form and content.

The stunning true story of the rise of Nazism in America in the years leading to WWII—and the fearless Jewish gangsters and crime families who joined forces to fight back. With an intense cinematic style, acclaimed nonfiction crime author Michael Benson reveals the thrilling role of Jewish mobsters like Bugsy Siegel in stomping out the terrifying tide of Nazi sympathizers during the 1930s and 1940s.
As Adolph Hitler rose to power in 1930s Germany, a growing wave of fascism began to take root on American soil. Nazi activists started to gather in major American cities, and by 1933, there were more than one-hundred anti-Semitic groups operating openly in the United States. Few Americans dared to speak out or fight back—until an organized resistance of notorious Jewish mobsters (Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, Red Levine, and others) waged their own personal war against the Nazis in their midst, gangland-style . . .
Packed with surprising, little-known facts, graphic details, and unforgettable personalities, Gangsters vs. Nazis chronicles the mob’s most ruthless tactics in taking down fascism—inspiring ordinary Americans to join them in their fight. The book culminates in one of the most infamous events of the pre-war era—the 1939 Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden—in which law-abiding citizens stood alongside hardened criminals to fight against the Nazis for the soul of America.
This is the story of the mob that’s rarely told—one of the most fascinating chapters in American history and American organized crime.

Why Are We Yelling is Buster Benson's essential guide to having more
honest and constructive arguments.
The way we argue is broken. Whether it’s about Brexit, the existence of
ghosts, the best burger in the city or who’s allowed to sit in your
favourite chair, we end up digging our heels in and yelling at one
another or choosing to avoid heated topics entirely. There has to be a
better way.
Buster Benson, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur with two decades of
experience facilitating hard conversations at some of the biggest tech
companies in the world, recommends eight things to try in order to make
disagreements more productive. By applying these eight new habits, we
can flip frustrating, unproductive disagreements into ones that bear
fruit and bring people closer together.
In this book you'll master practical skills to make your disagreements
more productive by:
- Understanding four ways of disagreeing that are more valuable than
simply ‘winning’ the argument
- Identifying the kind of argument you’re having so you know how best
to negotiate it
- Articulating the best possible version of your opponent’s argument
before attacking it
With this toolkit we can explore more possibilities and perspectives in
the world, simply because we’ll no longer be afraid to wade into scary
topics of conversation.
