| "Everyone knows what is feels like to be in pain Scraped knees toothaches migraines giving birth cancer heart attacks and heartaches pain permeates our entire lives We also witness other people - loved ones - suffering and we 'feel with' them It is easy to assume this is the end of the story 'pain-is-pain-is-pain' and that is all there is to say But it is not In fact the way in which people respond to what they describe as 'painful' has changed considerably over time In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for example people believed that pain served a specific (and positive) function - it was a message from God or Nature; it would perfect the spirit 'Suffer in this life and you wouldn't suffer in the next one' Submission to pain was required Nothing could be more removed from twentieth and twenty-first century understandings where pain is regarded as an unremitting evil to be 'fought' Focusing on the English-speaking world this book tells the story of pain since the eighteenth century addressing fundamental questions about the experience and nature of suffering over the last three centuries How have those in pain interpreted their suffering - and how have these interpretations changed over time? How have people learnt to conduct themselves when suffering? How do friends and family react? And what about medical professionals should they immerse themselves in the suffering person or is the best response a kind of professional detachment? As Joanna Bourke shows in this fascinating investigation people have come up with many different answers to these questions over time And a history of pain can tell us a great deal about how we might respond to our own suffering in the present - and just as importantly to the suffering of those around us"

What makes death so attractive so liberating and so inevitable for so many? In Teenage Suicide Notes sociologist Terry Williams pores over the writings of a diverse group of troubled youths to better grasp the motivations behind teenage suicide and to humanize those at risk of taking their own lives Williams evaluates young people in rural and urban contexts and across lines of race class gender and sexual orientation His approach which combines sensitive portrayals with sociological analysis adds a clarifying dimension to the fickle and often frustrating behavior of adolescents Williams reads between the lines of his subjects' seemingly straightforward reflections on alienation agency euphoria and loss and investigates how this cocktail of emotions can lead to suicide-or not Rather than treating these notes as exceptional examples of self-expression Williams situates them at the center of teenage life linking them to abuse violence depression anxiety religion peer pressure sexual identity and family dynamics He captures the currents that turn self-destruction into an act of self-determination and proposes more effective solutions to resolving the suicide crisis"

| "Race on the Brain: What Implicit Bias Gets Wrong About the Struggle for Racial Justice by Jonathan Kahn (Hardback, 2017)" |
| "Of the many obstacles to racial justice in America none has received more recent attention than the one that lurks in our subconscious As social movements and policing scandals have shown how far from being postracial we are the concept of implicit bias has taken center stage in national conversation about race Millions of Americans have taken online tests purporting to show the deep invisible roots of their prejudice When a recent Oxford study claimed to have found a drug that reduced implicit bias it was only the starkest example of a pervasive trend But what do we risk when we seek the simplicity of a technological diagnosis-and solution-for racism? What do we miss when we locate racism in our biology and our brains rather than in our history and our social practices? In Race on the Brain Jonathan Kahn argues that implicit bias has grown into a master narrative of race relations-one with profound if unintended negative consequences for law science and society He emphasizes its limitations arguing that while useful as a tool to understand particular types of behavior it is only one among the various tools available to policymakers An uncritical embrace of implicit bias to the exclusion of power relations and structural racism undermines civic responsibility for addressing the problem by turning it over to experts Technological interventions including many tests for implicit bias are premised on a color-blind ideal and run the risk of erasing history denying present reality and obscuring accountability Kahn recognizes the significance of implicit social cognition but cautions us against seeing it as a panacea for addressing America's longstanding racial problems A bracing corrective to what has become a common-sense understanding of the power of prejudice Race on the Brain challenges us all to engage more thoughtfully and more democratically in the difficult task of promoting racial justice"
