Book Synopsis Locking Up Our Own by : James Forman, Jr.
Download or read book Locking Up Our Own written by James Forman, Jr. and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR GENERAL NON-FICTON ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEWS' 10 BEST BOOKS LONG-LISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST, CURRENT INTEREST CATEGORY, LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZES "Locking Up Our Own is an engaging, insightful, and provocative reexamination of over-incarceration in the black community. James Forman Jr. carefully exposes the complexities of crime, criminal justice, and race. What he illuminates should not be ignored." —Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative "A beautiful book, written so well, that gives us the origins and consequences of where we are . . . I can see why [the Pulitzer prize] was awarded." —Trevor Noah, The Daily Show Former public defender James Forman, Jr. is a leading critic of mass incarceration and its disproportionate impact on people of color. In Locking Up Our Own, he seeks to understand the war on crime that began in the 1970s and why it was supported by many African American leaders in the nation’s urban centers. Forman shows us that the first substantial cohort of black mayors, judges, and police chiefs took office amid a surge in crime and drug addiction. Many prominent black officials, including Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Barry and federal prosecutor Eric Holder, feared that the gains of the civil rights movement were being undermined by lawlessness—and thus embraced tough-on-crime measures, including longer sentences and aggressive police tactics. In the face of skyrocketing murder rates and the proliferation of open-air drug markets, they believed they had no choice. But the policies they adopted would have devastating consequences for residents of poor black neighborhoods. A former D.C. public defender, Forman tells riveting stories of politicians, community activists, police officers, defendants, and crime victims. He writes with compassion about individuals trapped in terrible dilemmas—from the men and women he represented in court to officials struggling to respond to a public safety emergency. Locking Up Our Own enriches our understanding of why our society became so punitive and offers important lessons to anyone concerned about the future of race and the criminal justice system in this country.
Download or read book Death at the Dance written by Aubrey Elle and published by Aubrey Elle. This book was released on with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Tucker Mouline is killed the night of Orson’s Homecoming dance, Baycourt Hall is once again considered the destination for danger. And another murder is the very last thing Anna Glenn needs as she continues to help Sean and Ruby run the once-beloved party venue. Self-centered, rude, and unfaithful, Tucker earned plenty of enemies within Orson. Several of them had joined him in the preparation of the Homecoming court’s procession to the dance, the last time he was seen alive, but someone didn’t want him to be part of the celebration. Who shot him, and why? A scorned lover or a peeved parent tired of his son’s bullying ways? A disgruntled former teammate, or an official who’s tired of his highhandedness? Until they find Tucker’s murderer, Anna stands with Ruby and Sean, hoping this dose of bad press won’t cling to the hall for long. When Tucker’s death is mentioned in the news, though, they also learn that Baycourt’s former manager, Brandon, is wanted for questioning elsewhere. Elusive and seemingly untraceable, Brandon is Anna and her aunt Pru’s last chance at answers about Josie Glenn’s disappearance years ago. Torn between identifying Tucker’s murderer and wanting to find clues about Josie, Anna digs deeper into the motives of those in the Homecoming court. Because someone has to know more than they’re sharing, and perhaps it’s the key to all the questions she has about deaths—past and present.

Book excerpt: With new clues about her aunt Josie’s disappearance from Baycourt Hall, Anna Glenn is all ears when Officer Romona wants to speak to her at Orson’s Fall Ball. Except, attempted murder strikes again, hindering Anna from learning any news about the cold case. Or…has it? Vera Kessel is the town’s drama queen, but is her fall simply due to a medical condition or a lethal bump to the head? Vera’s life hangs by a thread, and it seems more than one person is threatened by what secret she can spill. From jealous former friends, outrageous bribes, and grudges with jilted lovers, there are plenty of enemies who might want to silence her for good. Sure, it’s fodder for drama and gossip, but that’s not the only headache Anna faces. While she helps the Banners clear the Baycourt Hall’s bad rep—again—trouble crops up at home, too, when Aunt Pru sees someone trespassing. Keeping secrets is a dangerous, complicated business, something Anna comes to appreciate as a warning in finding Vera’s attacker and in unearthing her long-lost relative’s fate…
Book Synopsis Nazi Germany and the Holocaust in Historical Crime Fiction by : Anthony Lake
Download or read book Nazi Germany and the Holocaust in Historical Crime Fiction written by Anthony Lake and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book- length academic study of the portrayal in contemporary historical crime fiction of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust and their legacies. It discusses novels written by five authors: David Downing, Philip Kerr, Luke McCallin, Joseph Kanon and David Thomas. Their work belongs to a subgenre of the historical crime novel that has emerged since the late 1980s to become a significant body of writing located at the intersection of crime fiction and Holocaust literature. The readings of these novels explore questions of form and genre to ask how popular fiction might approach the Holocaust. Themes of resistance and complicity and the relationship between them, and problems of guilt and responsibility are also discussed. This book also explores questions of justice to show how these novels explore social and moral justice, and vengeance and revenge, as alternatives to ordinary legal justice after the Holocaust.
