Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gregorio Cortez Lira, a ranchhand of Mexican parentage, was virtually unknown until one summer day in 1901 when he and a Texas sheriff, pistols in hand, blazed away at each other after a misunderstanding. The sheriff was killed and Gregorio fled immediately, realizing that in practice there was one law for Anglo-Texans, another for Texas-Mexicans. The chase, capture, and imprisonment of Cortez are high drama that cannot easily be forgotten. Even today, in the cantinas along both sides of the Rio Grande, Mexicans sing the praises of the great "sheriff-killer" in the ballad which they call "El Corrido de Gregorio Cortez." Américo Paredes tells the story of Cortez, the man and the legend, in vivid, fascinating detail in "With His Pistol in His Hand," which also presents a unique study of a ballad in the making. Deftly woven into the story are interpretations of the Border country, its history, its people, and their folkways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the later half of the nineteenth century, a majority of Brazilian women worked, most as domestic servants, either slave or free. House and Street re-creates the working and personal lives of these women, drawing on a wealth of documentation from archival, court, and church records. Lauderdale Graham traces the intricate and ambivalent relations that existed between masters and servants. She shows how for servants the house could be a place of protection—as well as oppression—while the street could be dangerous—but also more autonomous. She integrates her discoveries with larger events taking place in Rio de Janeiro during the period, including the epidemics of the 1850s, the abolition of slavery, the demolition of slums, and major improvements in sanitation during the first decade of the 1900s. House and Street was originally published by Cambridge University Press in 1988. For this paperback edition, Lauderdale Graham has provided a new introduction.

Book excerpt: This true story is an account of three voyages in the waning days of conventional breakbulk cargo ships-the so-called boom ships and an episode in the career of a merchant mariner. Captain Bruce Fisher, second mate then, encounters all manner of things nautical-the good, the bad and the "did that really happen?" Fisher sets out from the west coast on the first of three voyages aboard the venerable freighter Corsair, a so-called tramp ship, to circumnavigate the globe. While applying all the tricks of the tramp trade, Fisher proved the old adage: Truth is stranger than fiction. And, while what actually happens on the high seas may seem farfetched, as he might put it, "You can't make this stuff up." The first of his two-volume "Tramp" series, Fisher sails east around the world, calling at Cochin, Calcutta, Hong Kong, Manilla, Bangkok, Lourenço Marques, Cape Town and on to New York...and that on just the first voyage. Before it's over there's Vietnam, Pacific Islands, Singapore, Java, Bali, and the final return to Galveston. He encounters: a hurricane, barroom shootout, modern-day pirates, Viet Cong attack, naked nuns and Ring Tail girls and near mutiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufactured Insecurity is the first book of its kind to provide an in-depth investigation of the social, legal, geospatial, and market forces that intersect to create housing insecurity for an entire class of low-income residents. Drawing on rich ethnographic data collected before, during, and after mobile home park closures and community-wide evictions in Florida and Texas—the two states with the largest mobile home populations—Manufactured Insecurity forces social scientists and policymakers to respond to a fundamental question: how do the poor access and retain secure housing in the face of widespread poverty, deepening inequality, and scarce legal protection? With important contributions to urban sociology, housing studies, planning, and public policy, the book provides a broader understanding of inequality and social welfare in the United States today.
