    Never Meant to Survive presents a historical, political, and social assessment of anti-black genocide and liberatory struggles that arose to resist it. Based on fine-grained accounts of community life at the street level, Costa Vargas's work presents crucial examples of political resistance and community activism.  By examining two cities linked by common experiences of Blackness, Los Angeles and Rio de Janeiro, this book identifies a prevailing genocidal force that organizes individuals and groups across society. The 1965 and 1992 riots in Los Angeles, the work of the Black Panther Party and favela activists in Brazil, and police brutality in struggles between black communities and the state in both L.A. and Rio de Janeiro all figure importantly in Costa Vargas's compelling account. What emerges from this analysis is a call for the destruction of the conditions that foster the marginalization of black communities and a halt to the internal conflicts between black social groups themselves.

    "Trust Shattered: Cases of Government Betrayal" is a meticulously researched, compelling narrative that unravels the complex tapestry of government actions and their profound impact on individual rights and societal trust. Spanning three distinct parts - Betrayed Bodies, Betrayed Liberty, and Betrayed Estates - this book delves into historical and contemporary instances where government intervention has overstepped, leading to significant ramifications on life, liberty, and property.Part 1, "Betrayed Bodies," exposes medical and scientific missteps and overreaches by the government. From the Tuskegee Syphilis Study to the FDA's drug revocations, it reveals how health policies and decisions have sometimes led to distrust and harm, rather than protection and healing.Part 2, "Betrayed Liberty," focuses on cases where the government’s actions have infringed upon civil liberties. It revisits moments like the McCarthy era, the Patriot Act, and the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting how fear and crisis have been catalysts for the erosion of freedoms historically championed by democratic societies.Part 3, "Betrayed Estates," shifts the focus to property rights. It examines eminent domain, zoning laws, intellectual property, and taxation policies, demonstrating how these can sometimes betray the very essence of ownership and economic freedom.Peter Serefine masterfully intertwines historical contexts with contemporary relevance, offering a critical perspective on government actions. Each chapter is not only a recount of events but also an analysis of their ethical, legal, and societal implications. The book questions the delicate balance between public good and individual rights, scrutinizing the justifications and consequences of government policies."Trust Shattered" challenges readers to ponder the role of government in their lives. It brings to light the precarious balance between safeguarding citizens and respecting their autonomy. The book’s in-depth examination
