    Publishers Marketplace Deal Report Category: Non-fiction: Narrative THE OVERSEER CLASS By Steven W. Thrasher Imprint: Amistad February 28, 2024 Inaugural Daniel H. Renberg Chair at Northwestern University Steven W. Thrasher PhD, CPT'S THE OVERSEER CLASS: REPRESENTATION AS REPRESSION, analyzing Black police officers, gay corporate managers, and other "overseers" to understand how a small but influential class of people from minoritized backgrounds has amassed power in the United States by impeding their own people; as they've entered segregated institutions, these gatekeepers have not opened the doors of liberation for other Black, migrant and LGBTQ people like them; rather, their representation has repressed attempts and maintained inequality, to Abby West at Amistad, in a good deal, by Tanya McKinnon at McKinnon Literary (world).

    A catastrophic failure of US journalism and politics is that something like Biden's 10-year, $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill is not called a $350 billion annual bill...but the Pentagon's budget, which will exceed $7.5 trillion over a decade, is called a $750 billion annual bill

    AirBnB built nothing. They figured out how to steal rental housing stock & make it into hotels, priced ppl who work in cities from being able to rent in them, and forced longer commutes & higher rents onto poor ppl. Spare us.

    โ€œWe spent 12 years building Airbnb's business and lost almost all of it in the matter of 4-6 weeks," says Airbnb CEO @bchesky. โ€œTravel as we knew it is over. It doesn't mean travel is over, just the travel we knew is over, and it's never coming back."

    People in the "never say anything mean about the recently dead!" crowd have clearly never seen a single news story about a Black person killed by police.
