Paperback. Condition: Good. Favelas, or shantytowns, are where cocaine is mainly sold in Rio de Janeiro. There are some six hundred favelas in the city, and most of them are controlled by well-organized and heavily armed drug gangs. The struggle for the massive profits from this drug trade has resulted in what are increasingly violent and deadly confrontations between rival drug gangs and a corrupt and brutal police force, that have transformed parts of the city into a war-zone. Lucia tells the story of one woman who was once intimately involved with drug gang life in Rio throughout the 1990s. Through a series of conversations with the author, Lucia describes conditions of poverty, violence, and injustice that are simply unimaginable to outsiders. In doing so, she explains why women like her become involved with drugs and gangs, and why this situation is unlikely to change. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Black Philadelphians have shaped Philadelphia history since colonial times. In Black History in the Philadelphia Landscape, Amy Cohen recounts notable aspects of the Black experience in Philadelphia from the late 1600s to the 1960s and how this history is marked in the contemporary city. She charts Charles Blocksons efforts to commemorate the Pennsylvania slave trade with a historical marker and highlights Richard Allen, who founded Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church. Cohen also describes the path to erecting a statue of civil rights activist Octavius Catto at Philadelphias City Hall and profiles international celebrities Marian Anderson and Paul Robeson who are honored in the city. At the end of each chapter, she includes suggestions to continue readers exploration of this important cultural heritage. Showing how increased attention to the role of African Americans in local and national history has resulted in numerous, sometimes controversial, alterations to the landscape, Cohen guides readers to Black historys significance and its connections with todays spotlight on racial justice. "Recounts events in Philadelphia African American history. Each brief chapter addresses a different topic, exploring the event itself and how it is marked in the landscape, whether through a historical marker, a monument, a mural, or some other means. Chapters conclude with suggested ways to learn more about the topic"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Given the limited economic opportunities in rural Nepal, the desire of young men of all income and education levels, castes and ethnicities to migrate has never been higher. Crossing the Border to India provides an ethnography of male labor migration from the western hills of Nepal to Indian cities. Jeevan Sharma shows how a migrants livelihood and gender, as well as structural violence impacts his perceptions, experiences, and aspirations. Based on long-term fieldwork, Sharma captures the actual experiences of crossing the border. He shows that Nepali migration to India does not just allow young men from poorer backgrounds to save there and eat here, but also offers a strategy to escape the more regimented social order of the village. Additionally, migrants may benefit from the opportunities offered by the open-border between India and Nepal to attain independence and experience a distant world. However, Nepali migrants are subjected to high levels of ill treatment. Thus, while the idea of freedom remains extremely important in Nepali mens migration decisions, their actual experience is often met with unfreedom and suffering.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In 1918, Bethlehem Steel started the worlds greatest industrial baseball league. Appealing to Major League Baseball players looking to avoid service in the Great War, teams employed ringers like Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby, and Shoeless Joe Jackson in what became scornfully known as safe shelter leagues. In Work, Fight, or Play Ball, William Ecenbarger fondly recounts this little-known story of how dozens of athletes faced professional conflicts and a difficult choice in light of public perceptions and war propaganda. Some players used the steel mill and shipyard leagues to avoid wartime military duty, irking Major League owners, who saw their rosters dwindling. Bethlehem Steel President Charles Schwab (no relation to the financier) saw the league as a means to stave off employee and union organizing. Most fans loudly criticized the ballplayers, but nevertheless showed up to watch the action on the diamond. Ecenbarger traces the 1918 Steel Leagues season and compares the fates of the players who defected to industry or continued to play stateside with the travails of the Major Leaguers, such as Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, and Grover Cleveland Alexander, who served during the war.Work, Fight, or Play Ball reveals the home field advantage brought on by the war, which allowed companies to profit from Major League players. "This book describes the formation, operation, and reception of the Bethlehem Steel company's baseball leagues. It introduces the choices faced by baseball players in response to the Work or Fight order during World War I. It explores the intersections between baseball and the US War efforts at home and abroad"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In an age of social media and reality television, reading and consumption habits in India now demand homegrown pulp fictions. Ulka Anjaria categorizes post-2000 Indian literature and popular culture as constituting the contemporary, a movement defined by new and experimental formswhere high- and low-brow meet, and genres break down. Reading India Now studies the implications of this developing trend as both the right-wing resurges and marginalized voices find expression. Anjaria explores the fiction of Chetan Bhagat and Anuja Chauhan as well as Aamir Khans television talk show, Satyamev Jayate, plus the work of documentarian Paromita Vohra, to argue how different kinds of texts are involved in imagining new political futures for an India in transition. Contemporary literature and popular culture in India might seem artless and capitalistic, but it is precisely its openness to the world outside that allows these new works to offer significant insight into the experiences and sensibilities of contemporary India.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. After China officially decriminalized same-sex behavior in 1997, both the visibility and public acceptance of tongzhi, an inclusive identity term that refers to nonheterosexual and gender nonconforming identities in the Peoples Republic of China, has improved. However, for all the positive change, there are few opportunities for political and civil rights advocacy under Xi Jinpings authoritarian rule.Words like Water explores the nonconfrontational strategies the tongzhi movement uses in contemporary China. Caterina Fugazzola analyzes tongzhi organizers conceptualizations of, and approaches to, social change, explaining how they avoid the backlash that meets Western tactics, such as protests, confrontation, and language about individual freedoms. In contrast, the groups intentional use of community and family-oriented narratives, discourses, and understandings of sexual identity are more effective, especially in situations where direct political engagement is not possible. Providing on-the-ground stories that examine the social, cultural, and political constraints and opportunities, Words like Water emphasizes the value of discursive flexibility that allows activists to adapt to changing social and political conditions. "This book uses ethnography, interview data, and discourse analysis from organizations in the People's Republic of China advocating for greater acceptance of queer identities to show how tactics that emphasize family, harmony, and sacrifice fare better in context than those that emphasize individual rights and flourishing"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
