From Harlem with Love

Ginny Jordan
Clear Cut
In the course of her life, Ginny Jordan has lost both breasts and her ovaries to cancer, undergone chemotherapy, experienced debilitating vertigo, and other conditions—at the same time as she has been a member of a large, active family. In prose that is startling and evocative, witty and generous, Clear Cut explores biographically, symbolically, and culturally the meanings of the different parts of the body, and how much we can lose and still remain whole and know who we are.

Understanding Animal Abuse
Until the last decade of the twentieth century, the abusive or cruel treatment of animals had received virtually no attention among academicians. Since then, however, empirical studies of animal abuse, and its relation to other forms of violence toward humans, have increased not only in number but in quality and stature. Sociologists, criminologists, social workers, psychologists, legal scholars, feminists, and others have recognized the myriad reasons that animal abuse is worthy of serious scholarly focus.

Jens Soering
One Day in the Life of 179212
To a Correctional Facility in Virginia, he is known as Prisoner 179212. But to a legion of journalists and legal reform activists he is Jens Soering, a German citizen who has endured for the past twenty-five years the harshest and most unforgiving punishment this country can offer—the American prison system. Although this inspiring memoir recounts just a day in the life of one man, it provides a powerful voice for the over two million men and women lost in the maze of America’s prison-industrial complex. |
