the offbeat sari celebrates these innovations in sari design, with photography of pieces by leading contemporary designers. commissioned essays by notable indian writers such as pragya agarwal and sonia faleiro explore ideas such as gender fluidity, politics, sustainability, female empowerment and the self-image of india, alongside interviews with the designers whose work illustrates each theme.

the origins of the civil rights movement: the story of rosa parks refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man is well-known, but the factors behind her and the civil rights movement that her refusal ignited have rarely been so thoroughly documented. author aldon d. morris traces the role that black community organizations played in the civil rights movement. using interviews from dozens of leaders, as well as original documents of the time, the dynamics of social change are recorded in this benchmark study. (this book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
