This rebellion began with the 19th Century Romantic contestation of the Enlightenment and industrial revolution and was carried forward first by the Victorian aestheticians and morris’s Arts and Crafts Movement in interior design, and then by some of the 20th Century avant‐gardes, and the 1968 social movements. ![]() ![]() Several contemporary artistic manifestos have mutatis mutandis repeated or re‐enacted (rather than continued) the post‐Romantic rebellion against “the rational oppression” represented by technology and the technisization of human environment. As critics of contemporary art and culture, among them Maarten Doorman and Thomas Streeter, observe, the second half of the 20th Century can be understood in terms of its multifaceted bond with Romanticism. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Q4 2022 was our most successful quarter yet with 89 delivered vehicles, a 20% increase from Q3 of 74 and ending 2022 with 228 new happy owners across the U.S.!

Her prose is straightforward and passionate, intellectually complex without becoming inscrutable. This is my first time reading hooks, and right off the bat I was impressed with her writing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Covering a range of topics––including the nature of male identity, violence, sexuality, professional life, and pop culture––hooks presents keen critiques of modern male dysfunction as well as hopeful visions for new kinds of masculinity that can escape and reconfigure outdated models of manhood. They must be able to choose life over death. “To know love, men must be able to let go the will to dominate. “Masses of men have not even begun to look at the ways that patriarchy keeps them from knowing themselves, from being in touch with their feelings, from loving,” hooks writes. Bell hook’s The Will to Changeis a work of feminist philosophy that seeks to articulate and subvert the patriarchal constraints that make it difficult for men to give and receive love. ![]() ![]() ![]() She explores the rise of the female screw-up, how fans warp the shows they love, the messy power of sexual violence on TV, and the year that jokes helped elect a reality-television president. In this collection, including two never-before-published essays, Nussbaum writes about her passion for television, beginning with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the show that set her on a fresh intellectual path. “Emily Nussbaum is the perfect critic-smart, engaging, funny, generous, and insightful.”-David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moonįrom her creation of the “Approval Matrix” in New York magazine in 2004 to her Pulitzer Prize–winning columns for The New Yorker, Emily Nussbaum has argued for a new way of looking at TV. ![]() From The New Yorker’s fiercely original, Pulitzer Prize-winning culture critic, a provocative collection of new and previously published essays arguing that we are what we watch. ![]() ![]() ![]() Along the way, she meets white people who confide in her about losing their homes, their dreams, and their shot at better jobs to the toxic mix of American racism and greed. McGhee embarks on a deeply personal journey across the country from Maine to Mississippi to California, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm-the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. But how did this happen? And is there a way out? It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. From the financial crisis to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a common root problem: racism. Heather McGhee's specialty is the American economy-and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. ![]() ![]() ![]() His name is Ocean and the teens have instant chemistry. She tries to ignore everyone so she doesn’t have to deal with the BS – but then a boy takes notice of her. ![]() ![]() Seriously, one day she counts seventeen stupid things people say to her, ranging from calling her “Taliban” to asking if she keeps bombs in her hijab. But one thing that’s constant is the racism and ignorance she deals with on a daily basis, all because she is a hijab-wearing Muslim teenager and the setting of the book takes place shortly after 9/11. I read 40% in one night, another 30% the next morning, and read the rest of the book during any spare moments I could find in the rest of the day.
