Se l'Italia è una Repubblica fondata sulla bellezza, come è stato recentemente proposto in Parlamento, non c'è dubbio che l'abitudine al bello - e a un patrimonio artistico e culturale che non ha eguali nel mondo - sia il vero elemento unificante degli italiani, e come tale si rifletta nel testo della Costituzione promulgata nel 1948. Michele Ainis e Vittorio Sgarbi compongono un inedito commento letterario e illustrato alla nostra Costituzione in sedici capitoli, uno per ciascuno dei dodici princìpi fondamentali e dei quattro titoli in cui s'articola la prima parte della Carta.

In the last three decades of the 20th century, LGBT Latinas/os faced several forms of discrimination. The greater Latino community did not often accept sexual minorities, and the mainstream LGBT movement expected everyone, regardless of their ethnic and racial background, to adhere to a specific set of priorities so as to accommodate a “unified” agenda. To disrupt the cycle of sexism, racism, and homophobia that they experienced, LGBT Latinas/os organized themselves on local, state, and national levels.

Maybe it will be me." The text explains that as players began to leave the Negro League for major league teams, Toni Stone seized her only opportunity to play professional ball and replaced Henry Aaron on the Negro League's top team.

The marbled murrelet is a seabird native to the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and is often spotted around Oregon, Washington, Northern California, British Columbia and Alaska (as well as somewhat in Russia and northern Japan). They thrive in old-growth forests, and if you're a human, it's rare to find one of their nests, as they tend to build them hundreds of feet off the ground.

Acclaimed literary essayist T Kira Madden's raw and redemptive debut memoir is about coming of age and reckoning with desire as a queer, biracial teenager amidst the fierce contradictions of Boca Raton, Florida, a place where she found cultlike privilege, shocking racial disparities, rampant white-collar crime, and powerfully destructive standards of beauty hiding in plain sight.
