"A sweeping case that a new age of local economic growth will reunite place and prosperity, putting to an end to the last half century of globalization-by one of the preeminent economic journalists writing today. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, Thomas L. Friedman declared globalization the new economic order in The World Is Flat. But the reign of globalization as we've known it-driven by the United States, China, and big multinational companies-is over, argues Financial Times columnist and CNN analyst Rana Foroohar, and the rise of local, regional, and home-grown business is now at hand. It's time to admit that old-fashioned globalization has failed, says Foroohar. From the bare supermarket shelves to the shortage of PPE supplies and ventilators, the pandemic brought the fragility of global trade and supply chains into stark relief. It's evident that a neoliberal philosophy prioritizing efficiency over resilience and profits over local prosperity has produced massive inequality, perilous economic insecurity, and distrust in the institutions of today. But the pendulum of history is swinging back, powered by place-based economics and a wave of technological innovations-from decentralized manufacturing and digital currencies to the internet of things and blockchain-making it possible to keep operations, investment, and wealth closer to home. Through extensive reporting, Foroohar paints a vivid portrait of how place-based economics is taking hold in virtually every sector from coast to coast. She tours the "vertical farms" upending Big Agriculture, meets the entrepreneurs bringing the textile industry back to the Carolinas, visits the small- and medium-sized businesses making use of 3D printing to revolutionize everything from manufacturing to housing, introduces us to the businesspeople and policymakers fighting corporate monopolies and big state power, and shows us why the global economy need not be a winner-take-all game. We can still make things at home-creating a more stable, sustainable, and self-sufficient economy in the process. In Homecoming, Foroohar explores the possibilities of this new era, and how it can usher in a more equitable and prosperous future for all Americans"-- (less)

Tell me who I am. Tell me where I belong.I am a woman without a name, without a home....For the first time, Eyes-of-the-Sky prayed to the white man's God. One look in the mirror told her she was not a Comanche...yet she remembered no other life. She watched the whites who had taken her in after her "rescue," the mother, Hattie, and her handsome son, Joe, and wondered what her life had been like before her childhood abduction. She looked at Joe, who had suffered much and forgave little, and knew longing in her heart. But questions remained: What am I? Who am I? (less)

A road map for dismantling the fear and shame that keep you from living a free and authentic life. In the aftermath of stress, disappointment, and trauma, people often fall into survival mode, even while a part of them longs for more. Juggling multiple demands and responsibilities keeps them busy, but not healed. As a survivor of sexual assault, racism, and evacuation from a civil war in Liberia, Dr. Thema Bryant knows intimately the work involved in healing. Having made the journey herself, in addition to guiding others as a clinical psychologist and ordained minister, Dr. Thema shows you how to reconnect with your authentic self and reclaim your time, your voice, your life. Signs of disconnection from self can take many forms, including people-pleasing, depression, anxiety, and resentment. Healing starts with recognizing and expressing emotions in an honest way and reconnecting with the neglected parts of yourself, but it can't be done in a vacuum. Dr. Thema gives you the tools to meaningfully connect with your larger community, even if you face racism and sexism, heartbreak, grief, and trauma. Rather than shrinking in the face of life's difficulties, you will discover in Homecoming the therapeutic approaches and spiritual practices to live a more expansive life characterized by empowerment, healthier relationships, gratitude, and a deeper sense of purpose.

They were the golden boys of fall: Stewart Mills High School's legendary championship football team. Fourteen years later, they're back to relive their glory, save the team-and find themselves again. Sam Leavitt has two goals when he returns home to Stewart Mills to fill in for Coach McDonnell: to keep the school from finding a permanent replacement while Coach gets back on his feet, and to reconnect with his mother. As substitute coach for the high school football team, Sam must work hard to keep the boys on track, and that means spending time with the sexy guidance counselor he shared a hot night with months ago. Jen Cooper knows what she's looking for, and it's not Sam-he wasn't even supposed to come back. She wants a cultured, romantic soul, not some rough-around-the-edges guy with calloused hands-and a hard, muscular body. But seeing him every day forces Jen to question what she really wants out of life. And as Sam begins to deal with his past, Jen discovers there's more to him than she imagined. Contains mature themes. (less)

Homecoming is the first film to explore the rural roots of African American life. It chronicles the generations-old struggle of African Americans for land of their own which pitted them against both the Southern white power structure and the federal agencies responsible for helping them. Director Charlene Gilbert weaves this history together with a fond portrait of her own Georgia farming family into what she calls, "A story of land and love." Like so much African American history, the Black farmers' story is one of perseverance in the face of prejudice and perjured promises. As part of radical Reconstruction, Congress allotted 45 million acres of land to former slaves but the rapid reimposition of white supremacy meant that little land was ever actually distributed. Despite formidable obstacles, one million African Americans, mostly former sharecroppers, managed to purchase over 15,000,000 acres of land by 1910. This achievement was threatened by the agricultural crisis of the '20s and '30s thatled to a raft of farm foreclosures and, eventually, to the system of federal farm loans and subsidies on which all farmers depend today. But the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture was a white man's club, often working hand in glove with local bankers and big landowners to dispossess Black farmers of their land. For example, during the '30s the Southern Tenant Farmers Union had to force the Farm Security Administration to include African American farmers in their tenant purchase program. It was through this program that the filmmaker's grandfather purchased his land, the farm her cousin now owns. Black farmers are currently suing the U.S.D.A. successfully for discriminatory loan practices over the last three decades. As a result of these policies, there are only 18,000 Black farmers left in America and it is predicted there will be none in the next century. Homecoming, is also a mediation on the unfinished work of redeeming the land African Americans worked as slaves for hundreds of years. August Wilson once asserted that African Americans are a rural people who, after the Great Migration, found themselves in an alien urban milieu. This film argues that Black farms, though small in number today, can continue to provide African Americans with a sense of cultural stability and family unity into the 21st Century. In a country that has never tried to make African Americans feel at home, this film, like the farming families it celebrates, offers a real "homecoming." "A unique documentary. Viewers will learn how African American family, culture and community have been knit together since the days of slavery from rural Georgia to inner city Philadelphia." - Gene F. Summers, University of Wisconsin-Madison. "This film tells a distressing story but delivers an uplifting message. We're all in this struggle together, whether displaced Black farmers of downsized white workers" - Jim Hightower. "A poignant, personal, political and historical mediation. It will teach, inspire and empower us to correct the injustices which continue to plague Black farmers." - Tera W. Hunter, Carnegie Mellon University. "Watching this documentary elicits sadness, laughter, thoughtfulness and a feeling of connection. It captures not only the struggle of the Black farmer but urban Black America's remembrance of farm life and the South." - Gary R. Grant, Black Farmers & Agriculturalists Association. (less)
