It is in this time that you also have to go through the most life-changing experiences, grow up, and figure out what makes you trully happy. Everyone must deal with this change during their lives. Yet since it is now my turn to become a functioning, responsible adult, I have decided to whine about it in the best way I know - write a book. I am not adult. Are you?

Recognizing the lives of the enslaved at the historic site of Mount Clare Enslaved African Americans helped transform the United States economy, culture, and history. Yet these individuals' identities, activities, and sometimes their very existence are often all but expunged from historically preserved plantations and house museums. Reluctant to show and interpret the homes and lives of the enslaved, many sites have never shared the stories of the African Americans who once lived and worked on their land. One such site is Mount Clare near Baltimore, Maryland, where Teresa Moyer pulls no punches in her critique of racism in historic preservation. In her balanced discussion, Moyer examines the inextricably entangled lives of the enslaved, free Black people, and white landowners. Her work draws on evidence from archaeology, history, geology, and other fields to explore the ways that white privilege continues to obscure the contributions of Black people at Mount Clare. She demonstrates that a landscape's post-emancipation history can make a powerful statement about Black heritage. Ultimately she argues that the inclusion of enslaved persons in the history of these sites would honor these "ancestors of worthy life," make the social good of public history available to African Americans, and address systemic racism in America.

The brutal murder of Saltanat Nukenova by her husband, Kuandyk Bishimbayev, former Minister of National Economy of Kazakhstan, sparked international outrage, especially in the post-Soviet region. Responses poured in on YouTube, with comments like Ukraine stands for Saltanat, Russia stands with you, and The whole world is watching and praying. Saltanat's death catalyzed a landmark law in Kazakhstan, criminalizing domestic violence, which was an unprecedented move in the post-Soviet space. Yet, domestic violence and rape remain rampant across these countries, including my native Russia. It's a grim reality that demands action. This book is a collection of stories giving voice to women who have been brutally silenced by a patriarchal and corrupt system, shedding light on their struggle. What if our voices could disrupt this cycle of oppression? How long will we wait, and how far are we willing to go for change?
