Book excerpt: Lee Friedlander is celebrated for his ability to weave disparate elements from ordinary life into uncanny images of great formal complexity and visual wit. And few things have attracted his attention--or been more unpredictable in their effect--than the humble chain link fence. Erected to delineate space, form protective barriers and bring order to chaos, the fences in Friedlander's pictures catch filaments of light, throw disconcerting shadows and visually interrupt scenes without fully occluding them. Sometimes the steel mesh seems as delicate as lace; at others it appears as tough as snakeskin. In this book's 97 pictures, drawn from over four decades of work, it recurs as versatile, utilitarian and ubiquitous--not unlike the photographer himself.

Download or read book Bronx Requiem written by John Clarkson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The death of Paco "Packy" Johnson shouldn't have surprised anyone. Paco Johnson spent a lifetime in the system -- starting in juvie at age 10, then prison for most of his adult life. But he managed to make some real friends in prison, friends who helped him get parole, a place to stay, and plans to help him adjust to a life outside prison after seventeen years behind bars. But only seventeen hours after he was released, he was found dead -- murdered -- in the streets of the Bronx. James Beck can't save Packy any longer -- but he can try to find out what happened to Packy, and why, and exact a measure of justice. Beck, ringleader of a tight clique of ex-cons based in Brooklyn's Red Hook section, is determined to accord Packy at least some dignity and a measure of justice. But what drove Packy out onto the streets of the Bronx his first night back? Who did he run into that hated him enough to viciously beat him before executing him, and yet left behind his wallet full of cash? But what at first appears to be a simple, if tragic, street killing, quickly becomes something much more difficult and complex. And it will take all the skills, connections, and cunning of Beck and his team not only to learn the truth but to survive the forces they've unwittingly unleashed.

Book excerpt: Manifesto Confederacion de Trabjadores de Merxico El Roble, Sinaloa, Mexico May 2, 1938 Social, Political and Aesthetic Declaration from the Union of agricultural workers of Mexico to the indigenous races humiliated through centuries: to the soldiers converted into hangmen by their chiefs: to the workers and peasant who are oppressed by the rich: and to all those not servile to the rich and powerful. We stand with those who seek to overthrow this inhumane system within you, worker of the soil produce the riches for your overseers and corrupt politicians, while you starve. While you, the workers on the farm and mill create the harvest enjoyed by the parasites and prostitutes, while your own body is numb and cold. Within which you, Indian soldier, heroically abandon land and give your life in the eternal hope of liberating your race from the degradation and misery of centuries. Not only the noble labour but even the smallest manifestation of the materials and spiritual vitality of our race spring from our native midst. Its admirable, exceptional, and peculiar ability to endure the hardship of your poverty and unending abuse at the hand of you masters because it surges froth from the people: it is collective, and our social aim is to socialize your labours and to destroy forever bourgeois privilege. We, hereby proclaim that this being the moment of social transformation from the decrepit to a new order to a new birth of freedom for all that suffer under the heel of your oppressor. Cast off the chains of tyranny and be free. Gregorio Vasquez Moreno

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Road Warrior's work life demands travel-lots of travel. This Road Warrior's life landed him in all 50 states and 6 foreign countries, covered 4.7 million air miles, and required more than 4,000 nights in hotels. And that's where the glamour ends. Road Warrior is for anyone who has ever traveled and experienced airport lines, TSA checkpoints, weather delays, equipment delays, security delays, middle seats, traffic jams, or fellow travelers who are by turns, enjoyable, crazy, knowledgeable, clueless, helpful, selfish, agreeable...and disagreeable...and still managed to come out smiling. You'll discover there's no commute like a Road Warrior's commute, and you'll delight in the unusual diversity of destinations in this Road Warrior's life-one week "working" at Churchill Downs, another week flying to a school in a remote Alaskan village on the Iditarod Trail, and at other times, walking through the heavily guarded precincts of twelve California State prisons. Arranged alphabetically from A is for Advice to Zzzz is for Sleep-Road Warrior is NOT a "how to travel" book. It is an anecdotal memoir of the author's determination to thrive-not just survive-during more than two-and-a-half decades on the road. Whether he's finding the fun in B is for Baseball, explaining a comically embarrassing situation in the Big Apple in X is for X-Rated, confessing to rude behavior in C is for Credit Card, or admitting to fearing for his life in P is for Prayer, the chapters provide a potpourri of fun, fear, fascination, laughter, and insights.

Download or read book Other People s Blood written by Robert S Kahn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1980s thousands of refugees from Central America, who sought safe haven in the United States, found themselves incarcerated in immigration prisonsabused by their jailors and deprived of the most basic legal and human rights. Drawing on declassified government documents and interviews with more than 3,000 Central American refugees, Kahn portrays the chilling reality of daily life in immigration prisons and reveals how the Department of Justice and the Immigration and Naturalization Service intentionally violated federal laws and regulations to deny protection to refugees fleeing wars financed by U.S. military aid. }During the 1980s hundreds of thousands of refugees fled civil wars and death squads in Central America, seeking safe haven in the United States. Instead, thousands found themselves incarcerated in immigration prisonsabused by their jailors and deprived of the most basic legal and human rights. Drawing on declassified government documents and interviews with prison officials, INS staff, and more than 3,000 Central American refugees, Robert S. Kahn reveals how the Department of Justice and its dependent agency, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, intentionally violated federal laws and regulations to deny protection to refugees from El Salvador and Guatemala who were fleeing wars financed by U.S. military aid.Kahn portrays the chilling reality of daily life in immigration prisons in Texas, Arizona, and Louisiana. Behind the razor-topped prison walls, refugees were not simply denied political asylum; they were beaten, robbed, sexually assaulted, and sometimes tortured by prison guards. Other Peoples Blood traces the ten-year legal struggle by volunteer prison workers and attorneys to stop the abuse of refugees and to force the Justice Department to concede in court that its treatment of immigrants had violated U. S. laws and the Geneva Convention for over a decade. Yet the case of American Baptist Churches v. Thornburgh, which overturned more judicial decisions than any other case in U.S. history, is still virtually unknown in the United States, and today the debate over illegal immigration is being carried on with little awareness of the government policies that contributed so shamefully to this countrys immigration problems. }
