We Want for Our Sisters What We Want for Ourselves, reveals that before European world domination, polygyny was practiced in over 80% of the world's cultures. It has also been practiced throughout Western history and is even done so in contemporary American, however in ways that demoralize women and undermine relationships and families. As an alternative to living without men, Dr. Patricia Dixon proposes open and consensual polygyny or coparterning for African American women and describes the experiences of those who are making it work.

﻿WITH A NEW COVER! 
In We Want for Our Sisters What We Want for Ourselves, Dr. Patricia Dixon (aka Ra Heter) debunks myths about monogamy and polygyny and challenges us to rethink our approach to marriage and family. This book reveals that before European domination, polygyny was an accepted marriage and family practice in over eighty percent of the world's cultures. Even in Western societies, polygyny has always been practiced. However, because it is done under a myth of monogamy, this creates a "peculiar" form of the practice. This peculiar form of polygyny was practiced in early European history in Greece and Rome. It was also practiced during slavery in the U.S. to the detriment of African American women and their families. Even in contemporary America, because closed polygyny is practiced in various forms, under the guise of monogamy, it continues to disempower African American women and undermine their marriages and families. 
Dr. Dixon offers many reasons to support polygyny, most importantly, the shortage of available African American men. Through extensive interviews, she offers an insider's look at polygynous marriages, showing readers its benefits and disadvantages, interpersonal dynamics, how financial, sexual, and parental responsibilities are determined, and the legal, moral and cultural challenges that must be overcome in order to make polygynous marriages possible within American society. Finally, she calls for African American women to move toward building marriages based on love, truth, community, and ultimately a womanist ethic of care for sisters.

In light of the current struggle for social justice, I Am From: Voices From a Prison in the South is a collection of poems by men who are incarcerated in a southern prison. In this collection of poems, men of all races and ethnicities speak of their origins from the "love," "desires," "hopes," and "dreams" of their mothers and fathers and from "the Mother Goddess and the Father, God." They speak of being descendants of peoples from great civilizations; the ancient Mayans, Aztecs, Native Americans, and enslaved African Americans (who are the descendants of great African civilizations) and the Gullah Geechee who are also the descendants of African peoples (the Asante, Adjo, Bantu, Fulani, Fon, Hausa, Mandinka, Yoruba, etc.). These are just a few things that the contributors to this collection express about their beginnings. The voices from the men in I AM FROM, can be used to empower and inspire others in general, and those in similar circumstances about who they really are and where they are from.
