Download or read book Congotronic written by Shane Book and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2014-09 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At once original, strange, funny, and unnerving, Shane Book’s Congotronic takes the reader into unstable territory, where multiple layers of voice, diction, and music collide. Some of these poems have the sparse directness of a kind of bleak prayer; others mingle the earthbound rhythms of hip-hop with the will-to-transcendence of high Romanticism. Harnessing techniques of the cinematic and audio arts, Book’s poems splice, sample, collage, and jump-cut language from an array of sources, including slave narratives, Western philosophy, hip hop lyrics, and the diaries of plantation owners. In fusing disparate texts, each poem in this collection attempts to create a community in language. Thus, at its core, the project is utopic—or more precisely, to borrow from Duke Ellington—the project is “blutopic.” The book’s anchoring series contains an apocryphal narrative grounded in the journey of the Middle Passage and an older mythic history from the West African epic of Sundiata. Here elements of Afrofuturism coagulate with an R&B grin as social forces challenge a sense of personhood, prompting free-jazz inflected conversations between the pieces of a shattered, polyvocal self. Here is a world poet of the Sonic Global South sheathed in a Northern Hemispheric glow suit, high “on Coltrane, on Zeus” but also on the old and new schools of Descartes, M.I.A., Cecil Taylor, Gilbert Ryle, Freud, and Jay Z, among others—or as one poem puts it, the “aural truths.”
Download or read book American Prison written by Shane Bauer and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enraging, necessary look at the private prison system, and a convincing clarion call for prison reform.” —NPR.org New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018 * One of President Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2018 * Winner of the 2019 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize * Winner of the Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism * Winner of the 2019 RFK Book and Journalism Award * A New York Times Notable Book A ground-breaking and brave inside reckoning with the nexus of prison and profit in America: in one Louisiana prison and over the course of our country's history. In 2014, Shane Bauer was hired for $9 an hour to work as an entry-level prison guard at a private prison in Winnfield, Louisiana. An award-winning investigative journalist, he used his real name; there was no meaningful background check. Four months later, his employment came to an abrupt end. But he had seen enough, and in short order he wrote an exposé about his experiences that won a National Magazine Award and became the most-read feature in the history of the magazine Mother Jones. Still, there was much more that he needed to say. In American Prison, Bauer weaves a much deeper reckoning with his experiences together with a thoroughly researched history of for-profit prisons in America from their origins in the decades before the Civil War. For, as he soon realized, we can't understand the cruelty of our current system and its place in the larger story of mass incarceration without understanding where it came from. Private prisons became entrenched in the South as part of a systemic effort to keep the African-American labor force in place in the aftermath of slavery, and the echoes of these shameful origins are with us still. The private prison system is deliberately unaccountable to public scrutiny. Private prisons are not incentivized to tend to the health of their inmates, or to feed them well, or to attract and retain a highly-trained prison staff. Though Bauer befriends some of his colleagues and sympathizes with their plight, the chronic dysfunction of their lives only adds to the prison's sense of chaos. To his horror, Bauer finds himself becoming crueler and more aggressive the longer he works in the prison, and he is far from alone. A blistering indictment of the private prison system, and the powerful forces that drive it, American Prison is a necessary human document about the true face of justice in America.

Book excerpt: A broken promise. An ill child. A heartbreaking betrayal. And a Christmas miracle that could save a life and a long-lost love…or risk them both. The day that Shane came back into my life was the day that the sky flew open. His cocky attitude and overinflated ego haven’t changed since high school. Painfully, he’s also still as sexy as he was back then. The problem is, he has no idea the effect that he’s having on me. He’s the perfect distraction from what’s going on. Until he accidentally meets what’s going on behind the scenes. And then he inadvertently learns my secret. I never wanted him to find out that my life isn’t all sunshine and roses. It’s easier letting him think that. But when my life stands before him, right before Christmas, singing carols beautifully, there’s no denying his care and concern, as much as he tries to. And then he tries too much...and it all falls apart. *** I have no interest in Amy beyond work, and that’s only because we’re forced to do projects together. It’s not like I can tell anyone what really happened. And with all this holiday merriment going on, it’s tough to keep a stiff upper lip. Amy and I were supposed to be together forever, until she broke my heart, but I got over it. That’s what I’ve been telling myself. Until I see my own eyes one day in a donut shop, and my whole life flashes before me. With two forces of nature working against me, I try my best to do what’s right, but I never know if I’ve chosen wrong, until it’s too late. And as I stare at the mistletoe wrapped above the hospital bed, I’m still unsure, until I hear a voice...and it isn’t Santa Claus...
