In 1847, a small band of idealists began a communal living experiment in a sleepy valley in New York, living in a grand mansion built on a Bible-based foundation of hard work, free love and controlled, eugenic breeding. Credited with starting what became the world?s most recognized brand of silverware, the Oneida Community at first prospered, succumbing finally to the moral outcry that for decades clawed relentlessly at their ?lascivious? door, conforming to worldly custom to preserve their livelihood and evade the lynching of their leaders.

Download or read book Tangled Up in Blue written by Rosa Brooks and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of the best nonfiction books of the year by The Washington Post “Tangled Up in Blue is a wonderfully insightful book that provides a lens to critically analyze urban policing and a road map for how our most dispossessed citizens may better relate to those sworn to protect and serve.” —The Washington Post “Remarkable . . . Brooks has produced an engaging page-turner that also outlines many broadly applicable lessons and sensible policy reforms.” —Foreign Affairs Journalist and law professor Rosa Brooks goes beyond the "blue wall of silence" in this radical inside examination of American policing In her forties, with two children, a spouse, a dog, a mortgage, and a full-time job as a tenured law professor at Georgetown University, Rosa Brooks decided to become a cop. A liberal academic and journalist with an enduring interest in law's troubled relationship with violence, Brooks wanted the kind of insider experience that would help her understand how police officers make sense of their world—and whether that world can be changed. In 2015, against the advice of everyone she knew, she applied to become a sworn, armed reserve police officer with the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department. Then as now, police violence was constantly in the news. The Black Lives Matter movement was gaining momentum, protests wracked America's cities, and each day brought more stories of cruel, corrupt cops, police violence, and the racial disparities that mar our criminal justice system. Lines were being drawn, and people were taking sides. But as Brooks made her way through the police academy and began work as a patrol officer in the poorest, most crime-ridden neighborhoods of the nation's capital, she found a reality far more complex than the headlines suggested. In Tangled Up in Blue, Brooks recounts her experiences inside the usually closed world of policing. From street shootings and domestic violence calls to the behind-the-scenes police work during Donald Trump's 2016 presidential inauguration, Brooks presents a revelatory account of what it's like inside the "blue wall of silence." She issues an urgent call for new laws and institutions, and argues that in a nation increasingly divided by race, class, ethnicity, geography, and ideology, a truly transformative approach to policing requires us to move beyond sound bites, slogans, and stereotypes. An explosive and groundbreaking investigation, Tangled Up in Blue complicates matters rather than simplifies them, and gives pause both to those who think police can do no wrong—and those who think they can do no right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kidnapping of an American mother and three children spark heroic events aimed at freeing them from their captivity. The inability of the authorities to help him out leads her husband Philip to take on the challenging task of finding them. The only ones to support him in his struggle are his loyal friends and two conflicting groups, who express the opposing opinions of the islanders toward the hostilities between the two ethnicities on the island. The protagonists' actions trigger political repercussions that become the precursor to a dynamic uprising of the people against the status quo of war and hate. The people reject their passive role and resolutely raise a rebellion for the unification of their torn-apart country, away from the political opportunism and deviousness of their leaders. By defending their ideal, they clash with the scheming, the unholy alliances, and the entrapments of the establishment that lead to a confrontation with the citizens who seek to decide their own destiny and to overthrow their rulers whose sole concern is to remain in power. This is a captivating story about a world that seeks a peaceful solution to the continued conflict and an end to the intimidating political environment of the warmongers. The book exemplifies an exceptional realistic narrative with dialogues and scenes that advance an intriguing development of the plot as it interweaves with thrilling action and adventure.
