Abusive Endings

Separation and Divorce Violence against Women

By: Walter S. DeKeseredy,Molly Dragiewicz,Martin D. Schwartz

Abusive Endings offers a thorough analysis of the social-science literature on one of the most significant threats to the health and well-being of women today—abuse at the hands of their male partners. The authors provide a moving description of why and how men abuse women in myriad ways during and after a separation or divorce. The material is punctuated with the stories and voices of both perpetrators and survivors of abuse, as told to the authors over many years of fieldwork. Written in a highly readable fashion, this book will be a useful resource for researchers, practitioners, activists, and policy makers.

A Lion Roars

By: Walter Kelly

Forensic pathologist Mike Malone was looking for some excitement, but he couldn't have known what awaited him when called to a murder scene by uber-neurotic Detective "Nervous" Purvis Masters early one Saturday morning. He would soon find that a little excitement could cost him his life. Dr. Malone wasn't exactly bored with life, but he was in a bit of a rut, doing the same things, day in and day out, at home and at work. So he welcomes the opportunity to get out of the county morgue and work the front lines of a murder investigation when he teams up with Detective Masters, whose partner is on vacation. The victim, a young Hispanic man with a criminal past, was brutally beaten to death in his home and impaled on a fireplace poker post-mortem. There would soon be two more bodies. The only things tying the three victims together are an unusual calling card and the fact that each was killed in an unusually cruel way. These are not petty robberies or home invasions gone bad. These murders are personal and meant to send a message. But what is the message? And who is it for? The investigation leads to a psychiatrist who was treating one of the victims. After an ill-fated meeting where he provides a preliminary psychological profile of the murderer, Mike and Purvis find themselves in a fight for their lives. It isn't until the killer is finally apprehended that they discover the motivation behind the murders and who is ultimately responsible.

Suburban Erasure

How the Suburbs Ended the Civil Rights Movement in New Jersey

By: Walter David Greason

For generations, historians believed that the study of the African-American experience centered on the questions about the processes and consequences of enslavement. Even after this phase passed, the modern Civil Rights Movement took center stage and filled hundreds of pages, creating a new framework for understanding both the history of the United States and of the world. Suburban Erasure by Walter David Greason contributes to the most recent developments in historical writing by recovering dozens of previously undiscovered works about the African-American experience in New Jersey. More importantly, his interpretation of these documents complicates the traditional understandings about the Great Migration, civil rights activism, and the transformation of the United States as a global, economic superpower. Greason details the voices of black men and women whose vision and sacrifices made the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. possible. Then, in the second half of this study, the limitations of this dream of integration become clear as New Jersey—a state that took the lead in showing American how to overcome the racism of the past—fell victim to a recurring pattern of colorblindness that entrenched the legacy of racial inequality in the consumer economy of the late twentieth century. Suburbanization simultaneously erased the physical architecture of rural segregation in New Jersey and ideologically obscured the deepening, persistent injustices that became the War on Drugs and the prison-industrial complex. His solution for the twenty-first century involves the most fundamental effort to racially integrate state and local government conceived since the Reconstruction Era. Suburban Erasure is a must read for people concerned with democracy, human rights, and the future of civil society.

The Jury Summation as Speech Genre

An Ethnographic Study of what it Means to Those who Use it

By: Bettyruth Walter

The American courtroom trial is a speech situation. Everything occurs through the spoken word. The 'summation', as speech event embedded within the trial, which is the chronological and psychological culmination of it, is one of the few opportunities for the lawyer to communicate directly with jurors. But the speech genre summation involves preliminaries as well as the event itself; and it can affect the aftermath of the trial, for the decisions of the jurors may be influenced by this discourse.This ethnographic study considers the summation from three perspectives: that of the producer, from the point of view of the ethnographer who observed and analyzed sixty-six actual summations and from that of the receivers of the speech event who must act upon it. Information was obtained from post-deliberation questionnaires completed by 223 jurors, plus 35 alternate jurors.

Optical Impersonality

Science, Images, and Literary Modernism

By: Christina Walter

Christina Walter brings the next offering to the Hopkins Studies in Modernism series. Her work looks at the influence of the modern science of visual perception a variety of modernist writers. Walter focuses in particular on the way in which writers like H.D., Virgina Woolf, Walter Pater, and T.S. Eliot developed an alternative conception of the self in light of the developing neuro-scientific account of our inner workings. Critics have long seen modernist writers as being concerned with an 'impersonal' form of writing that rejects the earlier Romantic notion that literature was a direct expression of an author's subjective personality. Walter argues that the charge of impersonality has been overblown and that the modernists did not want to entirely evacuate the self from writing. Rather, she argues, modernist writers embraced the kind of material and embodied notion of the self that resulted from the then-emerging physiological sciences. This work will appeal to scholars and advanced students of modernist literature, as well as scholars interested in the influence of science on literature."--Provided by publisher.

Human Communication as Narration

Toward a Philosophy of Reason, Value, and Action

By: Walter R. Fisher

This book addresses questions that have concerned rhetoricians, literary theorists, and philosophers since the time of the pre-Socratics and the Sophists: How do people come to believe and to act on the basis of communicative experiences? What is the nature of reason and rationality in these experiences? What is the role of values in human decision making and action? How can reason and values be assessed? In answering these questions, Professor Fisher proposes a reconceptualization of humankind as homo narrans, that all forms of human communication need to be seen as stories—symbolic interpretations of aspects of the world occurring in time and shaped by history, culture, and character; that individuated forms of discourse should be considered "good reasons"—values or value-laden warrants for believing or acting in certain ways; and that a narrative logic that all humans have natural capacities to employ ought to be conceived of as the logic by which human communication is assessed.
