Set largely in the 1990s, the 12 linked stories in Joel Mowdy’s first book take place in and around Mastic Beach, a community on New York’s Long Island that’s close to the wealthy Hamptons but afflicted by widespread poverty.

A collection of Jackson's letters from prison, Soledad Brother is an outspoken condemnation of the racism of white America and a powerful appraisal of the prison system that failed to break his spirit but eventually took his life. Jackson's letters make palpable the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled Black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down.

Manufactured Fear: When Fear Becomes a Tool for ControlFear kept your ancestors alive. It made them run from predators, avoid poisonous food, and stay close to the group when the dark came. Fear is not a flaw in the human design. Fear is the design. Every person alive today is the descendant of someone who was afraid enough, at the right moment, to survive. The problem is that someone figured this out. Somewhere in the deep past, long before written language, long before cities or governments or religion, someone noticed that a frightened person does what they are told.
