A trenchant analysis of the dark side of regulatory life-making today In their seemingly relentless pursuit of life, do contemporary U.S. “biocultures”-where biomedicine extends beyond the formal institutions of the clinic, hospital, and lab to everyday cultural practices-also engage in a deadly endeavor? Challenging us to question their implications, Deadly Biocultures shows that efforts to “make live” are accompanied by the twin operation of “let die”: they validate and enhance lives seen as economically viable, self-sustaining, productive, and oriented toward the future and optimism while reinforcing inequitable distributions of life based on race, class, gender, and dis/ability. Affirming life can obscure death, create deadly conditions, and even kill.Deadly Biocultures examines the affirmation to hope, target, thrive, secure, and green in the respective biocultures of cancer, race-based health, fatness, aging, and the afterlife. Its chapters focus on specific practices, technologies, or techniques that ostensibly affirm life and suggest life’s inextricable links to capital but that also engender a politics of death and erasure. The authors ultimately ask: what alternative social forms and individual practices might be mapped onto or intersect with biomedicine for more equitable biofutures?
The potential of biohumanities as a foundation for antiracist critique of the humanThe Racial Cage delivers a spirited and polyvocal analysis of how race is materialized through both metaphorical and literal cages. It theorizes the cage, fence, dragnet, and tube as material–semiotic sites for racialization and for iteratively redefining the human–animal boundary. A collaborative conversation across continents, this work examines the racial cage as an important part of the practice of social division and bodily containment. The deeply considered result is an empirical and theoretical approach to biohumanities that productively interrogates its linkages to critical theories of race and racism.
This is the third edition of a book that came out originally under the title, You Can Do This Divorce, Empowerment, and Attorneys-What You Need to Know, a primer by Nadine Larsson. Now revised and expanded, this book continues to be a refreshingly honest memoir about surviving divorce. You Can Do This Divorce, Empowerment, and Attorneys-What You Need to Know shares the tools Ms. Larsson used to heal and thrive in her life. Packed with useful tips on how not to get screwed over in a divorce (hint: pick your attorney very carefully), the author also shares her experiences with bodywork and her discoveries about replenishing the psyche and honoring the soul. Writer's Digest had this to say about Ms. Larsson's second edition: "The writing is compelling with this author's inner strength and her honesty in discussing the ways of life and human nature in adhering to one of these basic tenets, generously shares her wisdom in the pages of this well-organized book, displaying an inspiring courage in the face of a divorce. Ms. Larsson presents her personal story and observations in a way that should inspire and can only benefit any woman willing to make the leap of faith and accept and follow her example in any area of life's endeavors. The writing is clear and concise so as to be accessible to the experienced reader of such books also while remaining wholly accessible to newcomers." Other comments: "Many women live their lives walking on egg shells, waiting for the next 'misstep' that gets them belittled, insulted, or worse. Nadine Larsson speaks up for all of us who have found ourselves in places of danger and vulnerability in our own homes. I love how she has transformed her home, and her life, into one of deep spiritual meaning and beauty " C. Simpson, artist at www.greyhorsedreaming.com. "I couldn't put the book down once I started reading. It spoke to me in a way no other book on this subject has. I wish I had read this book while I was going through divorce. It would have saved me countless pain and sorrow as I tried to come through my divorce on my own. I am still fighting creditors looking for my ex-husband. I did not know at the time I needed to take my name off all the joint accounts. Bless you Nadine for trying to get this information into the hands of women going through divorce and separation." M. Holbrook And, from the second edition: "From the tears and sorrow in the beginning to the triumph in the end....full of wonderful information, thoughts, emotions, and practicality that we can identify with. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for information on how to thrive over adversity. It's a powerful story of courage and tenacity, especially for anyone moving from surviving to thriving." Carol Barbeau, www.carolbarbeau.com. Why is it that many attorneys seem to be less than candid and complete with their clients? Does it almost seem sometimes as though everything has been decided in some back room and the client is just a pawn in a never ending game of office or inter-office politics among an elite group? This book helps you to take control of your destiny. It may be only stopping and saying, enough, I want to understand this now. Per Ms. Larsson, in retrospect, "there seemed to be a 'don't ask, don't tell' conversation going on between my attorney, my husband's attorney, and the judge. Who was really protecting my interests?" Find out how you can protect your own interests, how you can ask better questions--how you can better protect yourself from yourself. Especially if you have suffered from low self-esteem or if you have experienced even one incident of domestic violence, You Can Do This Divorce, Empowerment, and Attorneys-What You Need to Know will be helpful to you. Learn how to ask the right questions. The credit you save may be your own.

Tarek pondered lengthily before deciding on important matters. He was very cautious and meticulously planned for the day he left to join the demonstrations. He removed all his credit cards and ATM cards from his wallet and only left his national ID, his business card and engineers syndicate card. He removed the keys to his parents home as his ID included their address and he feared someone breaking into the house if something happened to him. Rania later noticed the keys hanging on the key holder, unaware that he had removed them. Tarek left a list of important information for Rania in case of emergency, and the steps that she should take if he disappeared Tarek clearly instructed her to contact his father, his brother and his colleague at work if police detained him. At that point, Rania was thinking of two scenarios: either he would be beaten and released like Amr Salama, or he would be beaten and imprisoned. In her mind there was no third option In 2011, the winds of change blew across Egypt, the region and the world.

Go back in time to the 18 days of Egypts epical Tahrir events, which mesmerized and inspired the globe. Re-live the Tahrir uprising through the voices of 18 ordinary Egyptians in extraordinary circumstances.

Which of them resonate with you? Are you able to accept all the points of view? I invite you to open up different avenues of understanding and discussion of these critical events through the perspectives explored in Tahrir Voices.
(B)ordering Britain argues that Britain is the spoils of empire, its immigration law is colonial violence and irregular immigration is anti-colonial resistance. In announcing itself as postcolonial through immigration and nationality laws passed in the 60s, 70s and 80s, Britain cut itself off symbolically and physically from its colonies and the Commonwealth, taking with it what it had plundered. This imperial vanishing act cast Britain’s colonial history into the shadows. The British Empire, about which Britons know little, can be remembered fondly as a moment of past glory, as a gift once given to the world. Meanwhile immigration laws are justified on the basis that they keep the undeserving hordes out. In fact, immigration laws are acts of colonial seizure and violence. They obstruct the vast majority of racialised people from accessing colonial wealth amassed in the course of colonial conquest. Regardless of what the law, media and political discourse dictate, people with personal, ancestral or geographical links to colonialism, or those existing under the weight of its legacy of race and racism, have every right to come to Britain and take back what is theirs.
