This updated, graphic presentation is yet another way for others, hopefully a new generation, to witness the inhumane treatment of those in our prisons."John GrishamGrowing up in a middle-class Roman Catholic family in the Jim Crow South, Sister Helen Prejean had resisted the idea that religious faith could be harnessed into social justice until dramatic changes sweeping the Catholic Church in the 1960s and '70s landed her in the heart of the New Orleans housing projects.There, she was asked to write a letter to Patrick Sonniera man sentenced to die in Louisiana's electric chair for the murder of two teenagers. When Sonnier wrote back, Prejean's life irrevocably altered course. She came to know a man who was as terrified as he had once been terrifying, as well as the victims' families and the men who were charged with putting Sonnier to death.For more than four decades, Prejean has worked alongside the convicted, as well as the families of victims, to abolish the death penalty, a sentence often determined by race, economic status, and geography.This graphic adaptation of Prejean's memoir offers an accessible way to engage with one of the most complex moral and emotional issues facing our country. Rose Vines skillfully interlaces recent developments with the original account, amplifying its relevance for today's readers. Catherine Anyango Grünewald's illustrations urge us to grapple with the humanity of this story, drawing an evocative, unforgettable portrait of mercy and justice.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In her long-awaited new memoir, the author of the New York Times bestseller and James Beard Award winner Blood, Bones & Butter tells the "raw and darkly humorous" (People) story of her family's unexpected dissolution."Hamilton's voice is as singular and rollicking as ever in Next of Kin, but it feels rare and special to have it applied to the kind of complicated family history that so many of us only come to confront in adulthood (if at all)."Vogue"We were a family veined through with certain brutalities, rifts, and unresolved conflicts, as well as some remarkable violences and some decades-long silences. But together we had rituals, systems, congruent cohering events that made us who we were as one. I thought of the black and blue marks as if they were the desirable spores of mold found in noble cheeses."The youngest of five children, Gabrielle Hamilton took pride in her unsentimental, idiosyncratic family. She idolized her parents' charisma and non-conformity. She worshipped her siblings' mischievousness and flair. Hers was a family with no fondness for the humdrum.Hamilton grew up to find enormous success, first as a chef and then as the author of award-winning, bestselling books. But her family ties frayed in ways both seismic and mundane until eventually she was estranged from them all. In the wake of one brother's sudden death and another's suicide, while raising young children of her own, Hamilton was compelled to examine the sprawling, complicated root system underlying her losses. She began investigating her family's devout independence and individualism with a nearly forensic rigor, soon discovering a sobering warning in their long-held self-satisfaction. By the time she was called to care for her declining motherthe mother she'd seen only twice in thirty yearsHamilton had realized a certain freedom, one made possible only through a careful psychological autopsy of her family. Hamilton's gift for pungent dialogue, propulsive storytelling, intense honesty, and raucous humor made her first book a classic of modern memoir. In Next of Kin, she offers a keen and compassionate portrait of the people she grew up with and the prevailing but soon-to-falter ethos of the era that produced them. A personal account of one family's disintegration, Next of Kin is also a universal story of the emotional clarity that comes from scrutinizing our family mythologies and seeing through to the other side.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - New York Times bestselling author and civil rights lawyer Qian Julie Wang introduces the highly controversial Alien and Sedition Acts, which have been used to justify the curtailing of basic freedoms from the Revolutionary Era through the present day.In the summer of 1798, backed by President John Adams, the United States Congress passed a series of laws that would come to be known as the Alien and Sedition Acts, testing the limits of a Constitution barely a decade old. Passed in anticipation of an impending war with France, the three alien lawsthe Naturalization Act, the Alien Friends Act, and the Alien Enemies Actextended the waiting period for naturalization from five years to fourteen and authorized the detention and expulsion of noncitizens, while the Sedition Act placed a federal ban on the publication of any antigovernment writings.Objections were passionate and swift. The Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, penned by Vice President Thomas Jefferson, warned that the "friendless alien has been selected as the safest subject of a first experiment; but the citizen will soon follow." Yet while three out of the four laws were soon repealed or allowed to expire, the Alien Enemies Act is still in effect today. Though it has been invoked sparingly, it was the basis for Japanese American internment during World War IIand for President Donald Trump's deportation of Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador during the first one hundred days of his second term.The questions raised by the Alien and Sedition Acts at the end of the eighteenth centuryabout immigration, the rights of the people in a time of war, the power of the government to define matters of national security, freedom of speech, freedom of the pressare still very much matters for concern and debate today. In her introduction to these founding documents, New York Times bestselling author and civil rights litigator Qian Julie Wang offers a vital perspective on the origins and long legal history of these ideas in the United States.
