Eviction Notice is an ongoing practice, resurrected in poor and black neighborhoods throughout North America: whether it be twenty, thirty, forty years, or every half a century or more, it never fails. The ideological point of view set by those who precede at this herding of human beings throughout history with no remorse no longer shocks me. It’s like turning on the television; it’s a practice mimicked without thought, over and over again. Shunned is a class of citizens with rights that are dissected into red tape, ground up like red meat, processed with additives, eventually having any substance at all. Advising my children to keep a suitcase packed, because not even your neighborhood sits on solid ground, but an ever-shifting land mass not owned by you but the government.

It was the early 1970s during a tumultuous time in American history when Kevin McLeod first entered the halls of Abilene Christian College. It was there that he and his friends would learn a lodestone of things about themselves, each other, Wildcat football, and the college itself—all while being influenced by coaches, professors, teammates, dormmates, and the female cohabitants just across campus. In an amusing retelling of one week of campus life, McLeod, who was a sophomore in 1973, shares a glimpse into the gears and spiritual machinery of a college in crisis. After he and seven other young men formed a squad with an important mission, they soon realized that there was not a prayer in heaven or on Earth that could save fate from their date with destiny. As he details how he and the Nelson Eight planned and then carried out a raid on a girls’ dormitory, McLeod reveals how even a group of very determined young men could not escape the consequences of their actions. The Nelson Eight shares the humorous retelling of the unchristian actions of immature men attending a Christian college in the early 1970s.

In a 1907 lecture to Harvard undergraduates, Theodore Roosevelt claimed that colleges should never "turn out mollycoddles instead of vigorous men," warning that "the weakling and the coward are out of place in a strong and free community." A paradigm of ineffectuality and weakness, the mollycoddle was "all inner life," whereas his opposite, the "red blood," was a man of action. Kevin P. Murphy reveals how the popular ideals of American masculinity coalesced around these two distinct categories. Because of its similarity to the emergent "homosexual" type, the mollycoddle became a powerful rhetorical figure, often used to marginalize and stigmatize certain political actors. Murphy's history follows the redefinition of manhood across a variety of classes, especially in the work of late nineteenth-century reformers who trumpeted the virility of the laboring classes. Challenging the characterization of the relationship between political "machines" and social and municipal reformers at the turn of the twentieth century, he revolutionizes our understanding of the gendered and sexual meanings attached to political and ideological positions of the Progressive Era.
Hold Fast is the widely acclaimed story of a young boy's struggle to survive in a new environment and his fight against those who stand as threats to his pride in himself and his way of life. Michael turned fourteen in May. By June, both his parents are dead, victims of a car crash. And for Michael, who has lived all his life in a small Newfoundland outport community, this means being suddenly uprooted and sent to live with relatives in St. Albert, a city hundreds of miles away. Hold Fast is the story of Michael's struggle to survive in his new world. In vivid, honest prose, it depicts his fight against those who threaten him - the loud-mouthed Kentson who makes fun of the way he talks at school, and his uncle who tries to rule life at home with an iron hand. It is also the story of the friendship that develops between Michael and Curtis, his cousin, and of his new uncertain feelings for Brenda. The book was written, Kevin Major says, “out of love for a way of life and a people. It is an appeal for us Newfoundlanders to be like certain of the species of seaweed that inhabit our shores, which, when faced with the threat of being destroyed by forces they cannot control, evolve an appendage to hold them to the rocks, a holdfast.”

In this riveting book, authors and authorities on modern slavery Kevin Bales and Ron Soodalter expose the disturbing phenomenon of human trafficking and slavery that exists now in the United States. In The Slave Next Door we find that these horrific human rights violations are all around us; people sold into slavery are often hidden in plain sight: the dishwasher in the kitchen of the neighborhood restaurant, the kids on the corner selling cheap trinkets, the man sweeping the floor of the local department store. In these pages we also meet some unexpected modern-day slave owners, such as a 27-year old middle-class Texas housewife who is currently serving a life sentence for offences including slavery. Weaving together a wealth of voices—from slaves, slaveholders, and traffickers as well as from experts, counselors, law enforcement officers, rescue and support groups, and community leaders—this book is also a call to action, telling what we, as private citizens and political activists, can do to raise community awareness, hold politicians accountable, and finally bring an end to this horrific and traumatic crime.
