Michael Mascarenhas

The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
 
 
  
Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
 
 
  
Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked.

The One Armed Whiskey Man of...

Thomas C Reinstein

The One Armed Whiskey Man of Jackass Canyon daylights a newly excavated vein in the Golden State of mind. It follows the unbelievably true life and times of accidental California pioneer Thomas D Carneal III. His prominent Northern Kentucky clan carved an ironic notch into the whiskey rebellion of 1790's and beyond. Out of the blue, tragedy struck, and the family legacy ricocheted off to the wilds of 1850’s Northern California, landing on a historic rancho, shortly after California statehood. It’s a fun, whiskey fueled romp that details a broad swath of Nor Cal history from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era. This unbelievably true story concludes with the zeitgeist of creative lawlessness rampant in 1920’s Bay Area, where prohibition just never caught on.  A companion PDF is available on select platforms that provides historical photos relating to each chapter.
