Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four bullet-torn bodies in a drug-ridden South Bronx alley. A college boy shot in the head on the West Side Highway. A wild shootout on the streets of Washington Heights, home of New York City's immigrant Dominican community and hub of the eastern seaboard's drug trade. All seemingly separate acts of violence. But investigators discover a pattern to the mayhem, with links to scores of assaults and murders throughout the city. In this bloody urban saga, Robert Jackall recounts how street cops, detectives, and prosecutors pieced together a puzzle-like story of narcotics trafficking, money laundering, and murders for hire, all centered on a vicious gang of Dominican youths known as the Wild Cowboys. These boyhood friends, operators of a lucrative crack business in the Bronx, routinely pistol-whipped their workers, murdered rivals, shot or slashed witnesses to their crimes, and eventually turned on one another in a deadly civil war. Jackall chronicles the crime-scene investigations, frantic car chases, street arrests at gunpoint, interviews with informants, and knuckle-breaking plea bargaining that culminated in prison terms for more than forty gang members. But he also tells a cautionary tale--one of a society with irreconcilable differences, fraught with self-doubt and moral ambivalence, where the institutional logics of law and bureaucracy often have perverse outcomes. A society where the forces of order battle not just violent criminals but elites seemingly aligned with forces of disorder: community activists who grab any pretext to further narrow causes; intellectuals who romanticize criminals; judges who refuse to lock up dangerous men; federal prosecutors who relish nailing cops more than crooks; and politicians who pander to the worst of our society behind rhetorics of social justice and moral probity. In such an up-for-grabs world, whose order will prevail?

He was born to father, Hanfare Aydahis, and mother, Hawy Omar, in the early 1920s. His grandfather, Mohammed Hanfare Illalta, was a famous king of Afar, who participated in the Adwa battle with Emperor Minilik against the Italians. He also defeated the invading Egyptian army led by Ismail Basha to conquer Ethiopian lands. Sultan Alimirah himself, as a young man in Awsa, joined the group of young Ethiopians who resisted the Italian occupation of Ethiopia. After the defeat of Italy by the Ethiopians, Sultan Alimirah, together with his brother-in-law Yayo Hamadu, were amongst the Afar people who welcomed the victorious return of the Emperor Haile Sellossie in Addis Ababa.

Book excerpt: Growing up on the murderous streets of Chicago, Illinois, YATON ANDERSON A.K.A. YAYO falls into a life of crime at a very young age and is convicted of a brutal homicide. After serving a "juvenile" life sentence, Yayo is released back to the streets as a full grown man who's on a "win at all cost" paper chase. Yayo's once tender heart has been turned ice cold, and he has the mind to match. In a short amount of time, he puts together the Get It Boy Click, and they reign terror throughout the city's drug trade, while Yayo's family prays for him to leave the streets alone. But the addiction to power, fast money and seductive women are hard vices to quit. With rival gangs and gangsta's, along with crooked cops, gunning for their heads, will Yayo and his crew be able to survive the disloyalty and treachery that cause the demise of so many other drug gangs? Or will their blood be the next to soak the streets that they ruthlessly and unapologetically fight to own?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heightened Chaos will change the way you look at the streets forever. The year was 1979, as the oldest girl of eleven kids that Tomasina bared, gave birth to a baby boy, Johan Garcia at Belleview Hospital, New York City. And like all kids that are born, he possessed a pure heart, mind, body and soul By the time Johan turned four, the innocence he was blessed with at birth, slowly started to fade. One morning as he woke up in one of the most notorious neighborhoods of New York City, Washington Heights, Uptown Manhattan, home of the brave, Dominican land; without his intentions, Johan found himself a member of one of the most powerful secret societies to ever exist in Americas history. His low key gangster Uncle, Jose Eduardo Liriano, got together with a childhood friend, Santiago Rodriguez, A.K.A Yayo, whom later on would be recognized worldwide as one of the smartest gangsters to walk the streets of New York! Robert Jackall, a Williams College sociologist, who has researched the crack trade, once said, One has to recognize Yayos particular and peculiar genius even if one doesnt honor it. So like two kids in a science lab, Mr. Liriano and Mr. Rodriguez, were mixing chemicals together, and a very destructive drug was born. Crack! The drug leeched out from New York to Miami and Los Angeles into the American interior. The crack epidemic led Congress to adopt mandatory-minimum laws, which hit inner-city crack users with penalties as severe as those levied on Wall Street possessing a hundred times more powder cocaine. Over the next decade hundreds of thousands of Americans would be locked up for drug offenses. So many people were smoking crack throughout America, and the violence that it brought to the streets was so severe that President Reagan was forced to declare war on the epidemic. When the crack epidemic exploded, Washington Heights had seemed as if a nuclear bomb had detonated in it. Everyone felt the effects. Dr. Randall D. Marshall at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital treated hundreds of residents; many with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, an illness common among Vietnam veterans. When Johan turned five, he was in the middle of a war that completely over powered him psychologically. Watching the gangsters make millions, murders, and Based heads smoking crack right in front of his door step; by then, his thoughts were covered with darkness. In this fact-inspired tale, narrated by Johan Garcia and written by Roxanne Lyons, you will witness the rise of crack in the United States. And how Mr. Liriano and Mr. Rodriguez were destined to introduce the new drug to the world!

Book excerpt: For the Orang Rimba of Sumatra – and tropical foragers in general – life in the forest engenders a kind of “connectedness” that is contingent not only on harmonious relations between people, but also between people and the non-human environment, including those supernatural agencies of the forest that people depend on for their spiritual and emotional wellbeing. Exploring this world, anthropologist Ramsey Elkholy treats embodied action and perception as the basis of shared experience and shows how various forms of embodied experience constitute the very foundations of human culture. In a unique methodological contribution, Elkholy adopts a set of body-centered approaches that reflect and capture the day-to-day, moment-to-moment ways in which people engage with the world. Being and Becoming is an important contribution to phenomenological anthropology, hunter-gatherer studies, and to Southeast Asian ethnography more generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Takes a close look at the relationship between humans and other (non-human) beings that are imbued with cemí power, specifically within the Taíno inter-island cultural sphere encompassing Puerto Rico and Hispaniola Cemís are both portable artifacts and embodiments of persons or spirit, which the Taínos and other natives of the Greater Antilles (ca. AD 1000-1550) regarded as numinous beings with supernatural or magic powers. This volume takes a close look at the relationship between humans and other (non-human) beings that are imbued with cemí power, specifically within the Taíno inter-island cultural sphere encompassing Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. The relationships address the important questions of identity and personhood of the cemí icons and their human “owners” and the implications of cemí gift-giving and gift-taking that sustains a complex web of relationships between caciques (chiefs) of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. Oliver provides a careful analysis of the four major forms of cemís—three-pointed stones, large stone heads, stone collars, and elbow stones—as well as face masks, which provide an interesting contrast to the stone heads. He finds evidence for his interpretation of human and cemí interactions from a critical review of 16th-century Spanish ethnohistoric documents, especially the Relación Acerca de las Antigüedades de los Indios written by Friar Ramón Pané in 1497–1498 under orders from Christopher Columbus. Buttressed by examples of native resistance and syncretism, the volume discusses the iconoclastic conflicts and the relationship between the icons and the human beings. Focusing on this and on the various contexts in which the relationships were enacted, Oliver reveals how the cemís were central to the exercise of native political power. Such cemís were considered a direct threat to the hegemony of the Spanish conquerors, as these potent objects were seen as allies in the native resistance to the onslaught of Christendom with its icons of saints and virgins.
