As criticism continues to mount over Israel's violation of Palestinian human rights and of international law, campaigns to silence and repress those who speak out against Israeli apartheid have grown alarmingly. College and university campuses across the United States now find themselves centre stage in this conflict over free speech: targeted by the Israel 'lobby' for the critical content of their scholarship, academics have been turned away from jobs, denied tenure and promotion, rejected for funding, and even expelled from institutions, while student groups like the 'Irvine 11' have faced harassment and sanctions. From establishment figures like Richard Falk and former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, to professors, postgraduates and activist alumni, We Will Not Be Silenced contains thirteen testimonials from those whose struggle to defend their academic freedom has garnered widespread public and international attention.

Examining the border-enclosure strategy Israel uses to impose Palestinian im/mobilization, Maryam Griffin considers the ways public transportation in the Palestinian West Bank is a constant site of social struggle. Her illuminating book, Vehicles of Decolonization, studies collective movement, resistance, and everyday life in the West Bank to show how Palestinians assert a kind of Indigenous self-determination over mobility that Israeli settler colonialism seeks to undermine. Having immersed herself in a year of fieldwork, Griffin maps multiple engagements with the flexible bus, shared van, and private taxi services to demonstrate that the politics of mobility are shaped by ongoing settler colonialism and Indigenous struggle. Griffin uses critical border studies to look at the contested nature of mobility at the sites of transit, where Palestinians practice self-determination through routine participation, spectacular political organizing and demonstration, and artistic renderings. Featuring a variety of street images, Vehicles of Decolonization shows that multiple registers of people power work in concert not only to resist settler colonial logics but to reinhabit the land through the practice and preservation of alternative relations of mobility.

Have you ever wondered who you were and why you were born? If so you are not alone. More than half the world ponders the same thing. You see I followed others in hopes of finding who I was in them; however, what I discovered is that the people I most admired had no clue of who they were either. The failures of life made me mad enough to do something about my life which allowed the birth of my book " Your Mind's Eye." This book speaks about the images that you see in your mind but you can't quite figure out what they mean. Your Mind's Eye flashes pictures of you constantly without stopping or rewinding. These images are black and white lacking any color or life. Life does not start until you find out how to put what you see into real life. Your Mind's Eye will be like a big sister, brother, best friend or mentor that'll guide you back through the rubble of your past to help you locate the missing keys to unlock the door to the real you.

Each razor-sharp story in this collection cuts open a portal to another dimension where you find yourself admiring a dark mirror...so kick off your body like a pair of dirty boots and go swim in the aether of ephemeral hope.
