  They Called Us River Rats: The Last Batture Settlement of New Orleans is the previously untold story of perhaps the oldest outsider settlement in America, an invisible community on the annually flooded shores of the Mississippi River. This community exists in the place between the normal high and low water line of the Mississippi River, a zone known in Louisiana as the batture. 
   
   
   
  Until now the stories of this way of life have existed only in the memories of those who have lived here. They Called Us River Rats also explores the troubled relationship between people inside the levees, the often-reviled batture folks, and the river itself. It traces the struggle between batture folks and city authorities, the commercial interests that claimed the river, and Louisiana's most powerful politicians. 
   
   
   
  Today Fry is among the senior generation of "River Rats" living in a vestigial colony of twelve "camps" on New Orleans's river batture, a fragment of a settlement that once stretched nearly six miles and numbered hundreds of homes. It is the last riparian settlement on the Lower Mississippi and a contrarian, independent life outside urban zoning, planning, and flood protection. This book is for everyone who ever felt the pull of the Mississippi River or saw its towering levees and wondered who could live on the other side.

  Drawing on 869 research references and firsthand accounts, Dr. Lipman sheds light on the disparity between traditional views and contemporary medical perspectives.

  • Why circumcision does not improve a baby's health 
  • Why circumcision does not reduce the incidence of AIDS or urinary tract infections, as is often claimed 
  • The deep financial incentives behind the six billion-dollar circumcision industry 
  • That the pain of circumcision is equivalent to torture, and why anesthesia is rarely used 
  • Circumcision's significant physical and mental health risks, including death 
  • Why both men and women enjoy sex more if the man is uncircumcised 
  • That adherents to Judaism or Islam may not be required to ritually circumcise their child, as is often thought 
  • The history of circumcision 
  • The ethics and legality of circumcision 
  • Why America is the only country in the world with a high rate of medical circumcision
