Download or read book Birth Control on Main Street written by Cathy Moran Hajo and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unearthing individual stories and statistical records from previously overlooked birth control clinics, Cathy Moran Hajo looks past the rhetoric of the birth control movement to show the relationships, politics, and issues that defined the movement in neighborhoods and cities across the United States. Whereas previous histories have emphasized national trends and glossed over the majority of clinics, Birth Control on Main Street contextualizes individual case studies to add powerful new layers to the existing narratives on abortion, racism, eugenics, and sterilization. Hajo draws on an original database of more than 600 clinics run by birth control leagues, hospitals, settlement houses, and public health groups to isolate the birth control clinic from the larger narrative of the moment. By revealing how clinics tested, treated, and educated women regarding contraceptives, she shows how clinic operation differed according to the needs and concerns of the districts it served. Moving thematically through the politicized issues of the birth control movement, Hajo infuses her analysis of the practical and medical issues of the clinics with unique stories of activists who negotiated with community groups to obey local laws and navigated the swirling debates about how birth control centers should be controlled, who should receive care, and how patients should be treated.
Download or read book The Sun in the Eastern Sky written by John McCord and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After making a killing in the stock market, Mike Norris began gathering intelligence for a secret society of the very wealthy. Now working directly for the society’s leader, he again teams up with Xray, a top-secret counterintelligence team known only to a few, and their mission won’t be easy. Getting one Chinese defector out of Communist China is difficult enough, but extracting several defectors and their state secrets requires the unique skills of Mike and his Xray colleagues. The heavy price they pay to accomplish their mission forces them into hiding, and Mike’s time of contemplation leads him to believe it’s no accident his team had problems in China. Mike then teams up with Lt. Commander Ron Cull, a Navy SEAL tasked with putting Xray back together. Acting on a tip from former Mossad operative Josh Weisman, this latest assignment will require Mike to use all of his cunning and analytical savvy to solve the mystery of who tried to take his team down. All may not be what it seems as agents switch their allegiance—or have they? The Sun in the Eastern Sky takes readers on a fast-paced ride featuring the wealthy and powerful and those who work to protect all that the country holds dear.

Download or read book Good Kids Bad City written by Kyle Swenson and published by Picador. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning investigative journalist Kyle Swenson, Good Kids, Bad City is the true story of the longest wrongful imprisonment in the United States to end in exoneration, and a critical social and political history of Cleveland, the city that convicted them. In the early 1970s, three African-American men—Wiley Bridgeman, Kwame Ajamu, and Rickey Jackson—were accused and convicted of the brutal robbery and murder of a man outside of a convenience store in Cleveland, Ohio. The prosecution’s case, which resulted in a combined 106 years in prison for the three men, rested on the more-than-questionable testimony of a pre-teen, Ed Vernon. The actual murderer was never found. Almost four decades later, Vernon recanted his testimony, and Wiley, Kwame, and Rickey were released. But while their exoneration may have ended one of American history’s most disgraceful miscarriages of justice, the corruption and decay of the city responsible for their imprisonment remain on trial. Interweaving the dramatic details of the case with Cleveland’s history—one that, to this day, is fraught with systemic discrimination and racial tension—Swenson reveals how this outrage occurred and why. Good Kids, Bad City is a work of astonishing empathy and insight: an immersive exploration of race in America, the struggling Midwest, and how lost lives can be recovered.
