Nice Racism
How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm
2022 || Paperback || Robin DiAngelo || Veltman Distributie Import Books

P.S. Burn This Letter Please
The fabulous and fraught birth of modern drag, in the queens' own words
2023 || Paperback || Craig Olsen || Veltman Distributie Import Books
Their greatest act of resistance was simply existing
Drags, fags and trans-women were attracted to the Big Apple because they were able to find work as impersonators in a small number of Lower East Side clubs.
Decades before Stonewall, they occupied the margins of society, determined to live as they pleased, despite of the attentions of the police. Sometimes reduced to stealing to get their costumes, these girls were unstoppable, fearless and fabulous.
When a cac...

Today, the power of viewers to select wha...

Is It Ever Just Sex?
2023 || Hardcover || Darian Leader || Veltman Distributie Import Books
A delightfully thought-provoking study of why we have sex, from award-winning psychoanalyst Darian Leader
'It was just sex.'
It's a familiar claim. But is it really possible?
The old idea that sexuality is a smouldering, animalistic force within us, desperate for release yet restrained by social forces, has little to support it. Bodies aren't just sticks that make fire when you rub them together, and the pain, heartache, and regret that can accompany the highs of sexual excitement show us tha...
