Recommended by Glass Empires By W. A. Lawrence
Light Against Empire is a rare publication that treats inner life and public responsibility as inseparable. It brings moral seriousness, philosophical depth, and human clarity to questions of democracy, courage, and the ethical weather of our time, without sacrificing rigor or compassion. #SoulSustenance #InnerNourishment #MoralSustenance
I recommend The Mapleton Dispatch by Woodrow Swancutt for its clarity, care, and moral seriousness in writing about disability, advocacy, politics, and justice. It is thoughtful, humane work that respects the reader and lingers after you finish reading.
I am recommending Cryn Johannsen because her work is brilliant and unflinching. The writing is exacting and unsentimental, marked by prosecutorial clarity that rejects euphemism and moral cover. She confronts authoritarianism, sexual violence, shame, complicity, and moral injury with rigorous historical grounding and attention to present consequence, naming harm precisely and assigning responsibility without evasion. This body of work is singular and commands attention now.
