Edinburgh Companion to the Politics of American Health
By emphasising the plurality of health experiences, and balancing national and transnational perspectives with the lived realities of diverse communities, this groundbreaking collection expands far beyond biomedical conceptions of health. Together, the contributors take a multi-layered view of the politics of US healthcare by examining it from historical, cultural, medical, sociological, legal, ethical and environmental perspectives. Chapters consider major health institutions and the federal policies that guide them; the intersection between health and social movements; the contours of health and illness with respect to race, gender, sexuality, age and region; and the US's often-conflicted role in global health governance.
The ^ALabors of Resurrection
In this book, Shatema Threadcraft argues that "spectacular" death--experienced publicly and violently--has given rise to global political movements, but it has also had an important gendered effect. Though Black women face a crisis of premature death, their deaths most often occur in private when most large-scale Black political mobilization centers around spectacular deaths. Profiling the resurrective political work of Ida B. Wells and others, Threadcraft highlights how the centrality of spectacular death has functioned to marginalize Black women in the stories of Black peoplehood. In so doing, she looks at the challenge that contemporary feminist activists face in attempting to make violence against Black women visible.
Babylost
The U.S. infant mortality rate is among the highest in the industrialized world, and Black babies are far more likely than white babies to die in their first year of life. Maternal mortality rates are also very high.

Babylost tracks social and cultural dimensions of infant death through 26 alphabetical entries, from Absence to ZIP Code.
Black Disability Politics
Drawing on the archives of the Black Panther Party and the National Black Women’s Health Project, Sami Schalk explores how issues of disability have been and continue to be central to Black activism from the 1970s to the present.
Attunement
What is a feminist theologian to do with Christianity's patriarchal inheritance? She can avoid the most patriarchal aspects of the theological tradition and seek resources for constructive work elsewhere. Or she can critique misogynistic texts and artifacts, exposing their strategies of domination to warn against replicating them. Both approaches have merits and yet, without other interpretive strategies, they reaffirm that the theological tradition does not belong to women and others marginalized by gender. They cannot transform the discourse. But within feminist theology are the seeds of another approach, aimed at just such transformation by reworking the theological landscape to become ho...
From Classroom to Courtroom
The book includes my meeting and falling in love with a very special person. My time spent in the Air Force and our children. The years we had together and the memories of those years. The struggles of my wife taking treatments for CLL. and her death. In the book I share our children as they grew up and what they are now doing. I look back and what do I see. I see my love me and family. I see a love that was true. It was only you. My love, Me and Family.
