Sinopse

In the heart of New Orleans, where every street tells a story, a healthcare professional steps… steps into the role of storyteller—chronicling the raw, often unseen world of addiction and the quiet strength it takes to rise above it.Set against a backdrop of excess, struggle, and survival, this powerful narrative follows those seeking redemption through the 12-Step Program, recovery centers, and courtroom halls. Their journeys are messy, human, and deeply moving—captured through the eyes of someone who’s walked beside them, both as a caregiver and as a witness.This is a story of resilience, of lives reclaimed from the brink, and of the unbreakable spirit that persists even in the darkest corners. It's a tribute to healing, hope, and the powerful bond between those who fall—and those who help them rise.

  • Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine - Reform White Supremacy and an Abolitionist Future - cover

    Ghost in the Criminal Justice...

    Despite reform efforts that have grown in scope and intensity over the last two decades, the machine of American mass incarceration continues to flourish. In this powerful polemic, formerly incarcerated activist, essayist, and organizer Emile Suotonye DeWeaver argues that the root of the problem is white supremacy. 
     
     
     
    During his twenty-one years in prison, DeWeaver covertly organized to pass legislation impacting juveniles in California's criminal legal system; was a culture writer for Easy Street Magazine; and cofounded Prison Renaissance, an organization centering incarcerated voices and incarcerated leadership. DeWeaver draws on these experiences to interrogate the central premise of reform efforts, including prisoner rehabilitation programs, arguing that they demand self-abnegation, entrench white supremacy, and ignore the role of structural oppression. 
     
     
     
    With lucid, urgent prose, DeWeaver intervenes in contemporary debates on criminal justice and racial justice efforts with his eye-opening discussion of the tools we need to end white supremacy—both within and outside the carceral setting. For readers of Mariame Kaba, Susan Burton, and Derecka Purnell, Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine adds a sharp and unique perspective to the growing discourse on racial justice, incarceration, and abolition.

    A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. 
      
    In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.
