A party of Malaysian prisoners find that freedom may be possible when one of them starts receiving strange visions of the future.Virgil in Kingman by Inbal Gilboa“ Virgil in Kingman” is a whistle-stop tour of the state of Arizona and a katabasis to the Underworld, beginning in Phoenix and ending past the Salt River. At the helm of this roadtrip, Sleeper Car, the driver, and her navigator, a talking tarantula by the name of Jacob Schwartz, travel from one end of the state to the other in search of the entrance to Hell through a copper mineshaft, seeking to fetch the soul of Sleeper Car' s companion. Meditative and surreal, the only guarantee for this journey is that they will not, by any means, stop at the Grand Canyon.Welcome to Hicksville by Porsha StennisThey often say down in Hicksville, you' ll never make it out alive. Either a gun, jail or poverty will kill you, and seventeen year old Tobias is on the verge of finding out his fate. Just days before his senior graduation and summer approaches, he begins to take a good look around at how he exists in this place he once called home and questions everything he' s ever known; his mother, his race, and the one unresolved mystery since birth &– his father. This is only the beginning of a summer filled with life altering events. Welcome to adulthood, Tobias. Welcome to Hicksville. Death After Life by Alex HulslanderAfter death, there is judgement to determine if one is worthy of Heaven or damned to Hell. But Hell is not what everything thinks it is, as for many it is simply a continuation of life without worry. However, for one woman it is a place of confusion. Without her memories, she must navigate this new life with the help of Lucifer to determine who she was before death and who she is meant to be.

Reproduction on the Reservation

Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Colonialism in the Long Twentieth Century

By: Brianna Theobald

This pathbreaking book documents the transformation of reproductive practices and politics on Indian reservations from the late nineteenth century to the present, integrating a localized history of childbearing, motherhood, and activism on the Crow Reservation in Montana with an analysis of trends affecting Indigenous women more broadly. As Brianna Theobald illustrates, the federal government and local authorities have long sought to control Indigenous families and women's reproduction, using tactics such as coercive sterilization and removal of Indigenous children into the white foster care system. But Theobald examines women's resistance, showing how they have worked within families, tribal networks, and activist groups to confront these issues. Blending local and intimate family histories with the histories of broader movements such as WARN (Women of All Red Nations), Theobald links the federal government's intrusion into Indigenous women's reproductive and familial decisions to the wider history of eugenics and the reproductive rights movement. She argues convincingly that colonial politics have always been--and remain--reproductive politics. By looking deeply at one tribal nation over more than a century, Theobald offers an especially rich analysis of how Indigenous women experienced pregnancy and motherhood under evolving federal Indian policy. At the heart of this history are the Crow women who displayed creativity and fortitude in struggling for reproductive self-determination.

People Skills for Behavior Analysts

By: Carmen Hall,Kimberly Maich,Brianna M. Anderson

People Skills for Behavior Analysts provides a much-needed introduction to the people skills needed to succeed as a behavior analyst. Divided into two primary parts – Foundational Skills and Specialized Skills – this book addresses an impressive breadth of people skills, focusing on intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, collaboration, consultation and training, leadership, and resource development. Relying on recent evidence-based practices and relevant literature tailored to meet the new BACB Task List, Professional & Ethical Compliance Code, and Supervised Independent Fieldwork requirements, the text includes contributions from leading figures from a wide variety of applied behavior analysis subfields to provide a truly balanced overview. The book delves into the literature from fields related to behavior analysis, such as counselling, psychology, graphic design, management and education, and applies these perspectives to behavioral theories and principles to provide students, new graduates, and seasoned professionals with research, best practices, reflective questions, and practical techniques. From reflecting on one’s practice, to learning essential therapeutic skills, running a great meeting, becoming a ‘super’ supervisor, and delivering a memorable presentation, all people skills are included in one place for the behavior practitioner. This is a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students studying Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and will also appeal to recent graduates and behavior analysts looking to improve their existing skillset.

Monopsony in Labor Markets

Theory, Evidence, and Public Policy

By: Brianna L. Alderman,Roger D. Blair

The economics of monopsony power results in lower wages and other forms of compensation, as well as reduced employment. Wealth is transferred from workers to their employers. In addition, the employer's output is reduced, which leads to increased prices for consumers. Monopsony in Labor Markets demonstrates that elements of monopsony are pervasive and explores the available antitrust policy options. It presents the economic and empirical foundations for antitrust concerns and sets out the relevant antitrust policy. Building on this foundation, it examines collusion on compensation, collusive no-poaching agreements, and the inclusion of non-compete agreements in employment contracts. It also addresses the influence of labor unions, labor's antitrust exemption, which permits the exercise of countervailing power, and the consequences of mergers to monopsony. Offering a thorough explanation of antitrust policy, this book identifies the basic economic problems with monopsony in labor markets and explains the remedies currently available.

The Migrant's Jail

An American History of Mass Incarceration

By: ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF HISTORY BRIANNA. NOFIL,Brianna Nofil

This book is a history of a century of migrant detention, showing how immigration bureaucracy and the criminal justice system gave rise to this peculiar form of imprisonment in the United States. Historian Brianna Nofil tracks the political evolution of immigration policy but also follows the money, uncovering the network of individuals, municipalities, and private corporations that profited from immigrant detention. From the incarceration of Chinese migrants in the furthest reaches of New York at the turn of the twentieth century to the jailing of Caribbean asylum seekers in Gulf South lockups in the 1980s and 90s, Detention Power uncovers how the criminal justice system and immigration law enforcement have long collaborated, shared resources, and pursued a common project of incarceration and racial control. As Nofil shows, sheriffs and city commissions throughout the U.S. capitalized on contracts with the immigration service by expanding their jails and, in some cases, building separate "migrant jails" to secure federal detainees, effectively transforming incarcerated migrants into local commodities. Nofil's archives include records of district courts, presidential administrations, the immigration service, and legal aid groups, as well as overlooked local sources from communities at the heart of the detention business. At stake is the history of how immigrants who have been unwanted as citizens and workers were nevertheless coveted for their value in a "detention market" that brought federal money to local communities. Nofil is attentive to the backlash this form of imprisonment sparked even as she shows the longstanding role of immigration policing in the building of our mass incarceration society"--

A A Nihilist Walks Into a Bar

By: Brianna Ferguson

A Nihilist Walks Into A Bar is the frustrated, fierce, and funny first book of a woman for whom all the old expectations of life have fallen apart. Railing against careers, religion, sex, drinking, and all the usual signposts on the road to self fulfillment, Ferguson strips away the facade of old ideas and shouts and laughs at the chaos that lies beneath. This book is a manifesto of the disenfranchised, and the diary of a country girl with her head in the clouds. It is a love letter to the world, and a breakup text at 3am. To anyone who's ever looked out the window and thought "yes, but why?" this book is for you.
