Circle processes offer a way of bringing people together to understand one another, strengthen bonds, and solve community problemsa necessity in an era of division, polarized politics, and angry debate.

Our ancestors gathered around a fire in a circle, families gather around their kitchen tables in circles, and now we are gathering in circles as communities to solve problems. This peacemaking practice draws on the ancient Native American tradition of a talking piece and combines that with concepts of democracy and inclusivity.

Peacemaking circles are used in neighborhoods to provide support for those harmed by crime and to decide sentences for those who commit crime, in schools to create positive classroom climates and resolve behavior problems, in the workplace to deal with conflict, and in social services to develop more organic support systems for people struggling to get their lives together. The circle process hinges on storytelling. It is an effort bringing astonishing results around the country. Chapters include:
  • Circles in Practice
  • A Circle StoryFinding a Way to Move Forward after a Workers Strike
  • Foundations of Circles
  • A Circle StoryFinding Understanding in the Classroom
  • Key Elements of Circles
  • A Circle StoryFinding Healing from Violent Crime
  • Organizing a Talking Circle
  • A Circle StoryFinding Respect Across Generations
  • Circles in Perspective

Bibliography
The Memo is the much-needed career advice guide for women of colour specifically, finally ending the one-size-fits-all approach of business books that lump together women across races and overlook the unique barriers to success for women of colour.

In a charismatic and relatable voice, Minda Harts brings her entrepreneurial experience as CEO of The Memo to the page, as well as her past career life as a fundraising consultant to top colleges across the country. With wit and candour, Harts begins by acknowledging the ""ugly truths"" that keep women of colour from getting the proverbial seat at the table in corporate America: micro-aggressions, systemic racism, white privilege, etc. Harts validates that women aren't making up the discrimination they feel, even if it isn't always overt. From there, she gives straight talk on how to address these issues head on and provides a roadmap to help women of colour and their allies make real change to the system.

With chapters on network-building, office politics, money and negotiation, The Memo covers all the basics that any good business book should but through the author's lens, it offers support and long-overdue advice particularly for women of colour.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING

'Surprising at every turn and rewarding in ways you would never expect' MARLON JAMES
'An extraordinary, necessary book' ROBERT MACFARLANE
'Unique, profound, soulful, sensitive and nourishing' BERNARDINE EVARISTO
'Hold it in your hands and then dream of the green world' MONIQUE ROFFEY

The Possibility of Tenderness is a personal history narrated through the lens of the grung and plants. Its also a peoples history of the land, a family saga, an archival detective story through time. Its the migration tale of a young scholar who arrives in Britain from rural Jamaica to study at Oxford to achieve upward social mobility and who now lives in Roundhay Leeds. Suddenly, amidst his journey of dreams and class aspiration, the plants and people of his native district, Coffee Grove, begin to offer different ways of living, alternative dreams, and the possibility of tenderness and the permission to roam England.

Marrying the local and the familial with global history and unfolding as a timely and immersive tale of land, environment, and the world of plants, The Possibility of Tenderness reveals how the history of a tiny rural village in a mountainous region of Jamaica is interlinked with that of modern Britain. And, also what that rural village can teach us about leisure, land ownership and reclamation today.

Mama, the authors grandmother, is a central protagonist of the story. Alongside her, herbalists, plant workers, farmers, and plant lovers help forge an intimate portrait of Coffee Grove, as do the plants themselves; fever grass, jointa, search mi heart, leaf of life, helping Allen-Paisant revise his sense of self and solidify a new understanding of his place in the world.

The Possibility of Tenderness is a cross-pollinating book about the transformative power of plants, the legacy of dreams, and the lessons they offer for living with the earth.
