Summary

In "Crime: Its Cause and Treatment," Clarence Darrow offers a penetrating exploration into the sociological, psychological, and economic factors contributing to criminal behavior. Drawing upon case studies, empirical data, and philosophical inquiry, Darrow employs a persuasive and accessible literary style that blends eloquence with rigorous argumentation. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, a time marked by significant social upheaven including the rise of industrialization and urbanization, this work seeks to dismantle the simplistic notions of criminality by arguing that individuals are often products of their environment. Clarence Darrow, renowned as one of America's preeminent defense attorneys, was deeply influenced by his roots in the progressive reform movement and his advocacy for the rights of the marginalized. His extensive legal experience, coupled with a passionate commitment to social justice, propelled Darrow to confront the systemic failures of societal institutions that contribute to crime. His insights are shaped by a lifetime spent challenging the status quo and defending those who are often vilified by society. "Crime: Its Cause and Treatment" is not just a work for legal scholars, but a critical read for anyone interested in understanding the deeper roots of criminal behavior. Darrow'Äôs compelling arguments invite readers to rethink their perceptions of justice and morality, making it a must-have for advocates of reform and for those who seek an empathetic perspective on crime.

    The Era of Liberation - 1862-1894

    The late 19th Century was a time of liberation. After the collapse of empires, people of all creeds demanded their equality.We begin with two speeches that represent the old order, by Bismarck. Between the two speeches he went from being Prussia’s last Minister President to being the Germany’s first Chancellor. A statesman in the oldest mold, he argues for nationalist dominance against forces temporal and religious.The counter is given by Sullivan, who excoriates the British government for the Zulu war, asking why the country supported wars of aggression in foreign lands.From there, we move to the liberation of nations and peoples. Louis Kossuth embodied Hungary’s struggle against imperial oppression, Castelar argues for a Spanish republic, and Gambetta for the education of the peasantry in France. Across Europe, a tide rose demanding the government serve the people rather than use them.In America, Lincoln defined the struggle between the Union and Confederacy as the start of universal emancipation and freedom for all men. In contrast, Chief Joseph’s speech drips with pathos, as he lays down his spear forever, desperate to find what is left of his massacred and desolate peoples in the wilderness. After the Civil War ends, Susan Anthony’s speech demands that women should have the vote, as guaranteed in the constitution for all citizens.A series of speeches by Swami Vivekananda follow, given at the first World’s Parliament of Religions. These speeches brought Buddhism and Hinduism into the Anglosphere, and began a trend of searching for spiritual liberation alongside the more material demands of the time.We finish on a lighter tone, as Mark Twain bemoans the decay of the art of lying. In an age of such seriousness, the tall tale fell out of fashion, and the simple joy of telling a fisherman’s tale was lost.

    In Fallen Tigers: The Fate of America's Missing Airmen in China during World War II, historian Daniel Jackson sheds light on the stories of downed aviators who attempted to evade capture by the Japanese in their bid to return to Allied territory. He reveals that the heroism of these airmen was equaled, and often exceeded, by the Chinese soldiers and civilians who risked their lives to return them safely to American hands. His comprehensive research even shows that helping downed American airmen transcended the deep political divisions of wartime China, with Nationalists, Communists, and even alleged collaborators realizing the commonality of their struggle against the Japanese. Drawing extensively on sources and interviews, Jackson sketches an epic historical drama documenting the astonishing extent of Sino-American cooperation. 
     
     
     
    Fallen Tigers is an incredible story of survival amid a brutal war, insightfully illustrating the relationship between missing American airmen and their Chinese allies who were willing to save their lives at any cost. Based on archival research and filled with compelling personal narratives from memoirs, wartime diaries, and interviews with veterans and war survivors, Fallen Tigers will appeal to history buffs and scholars interested in WWII, US military aviation, and international relations between the United States and China.

    Finalist, 2025 Frances Fuller Victor Award in General Nonfiction, Oregon Book AwardsHonorable Mention, 2024 William Sanders Scarborough Prize, Modern Language AssociationOne Sunday afternoon in February 1977, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Ntozake Shange, and several other Black women writers met at June Jordan's Brooklyn apartment. Calling themselves "The Sisterhood," the group would get together once a month over the next two years, creating a vital space for Black women to discuss literature and liberation.The Sisterhood tells the story of how this remarkable community transformed American writing and cultural institutions. Courtney Thorsson explores the group's everyday collaboration and profound legacy. The Sisterhood advocated for Black women writers at trade publishers and magazines. Thorsson traces the personal, professional, and political ties that brought the group together as well as the reasons for its dissolution. She considers the popular and critical success of Sisterhood members in the 1980s, the uneasy absorption of Black feminism into the academy, and how younger writers built on the foundations the group laid. Highlighting the organizing, networking, and community building that nurtured Black women's writing, this book demonstrates that The Sisterhood offers an enduring model for Black feminist collaboration.
