(RAW Rating: 4.5) - What is happening to black men?.......2007-08-04
Demico Boothe has explored the reasons so many black men are indeed in prison in, WHY ARE SO MANY BLACK MEN IN PRISON? He begins with his own story of a shaky upbringing and his subsequent dabbling in drug dealing. He was caught with a few grams of crack cocaine but because it was the dreaded crack, he was given 10 years in prison. When he left prison after serving his time, he was actually railroaded back into prison by a crooked justice system. He delves deeply into our justice system and the motives behind all the new prisons that are being built. He gives succinct and reasonable views of exactly what is happening now in the United States and how the past has played a role in the present. He uses persuasive statistics regarding the number of black men in prison as compared to the number of white men who are incarcerated.
Demico Boothe has done an excellent job of researching his subject and it is a plus, if unfortunate for him, that he has actually experienced first hand what he's talking about. I knew I was hearing the real story rather than just statistics from an intellectual who had no real idea of what the prison system is really like. I would have liked for Boothe to search a little deeper into the Haiti, Aristide and USA question, maybe even reading Randall Robinson's take on the situation, and then he might see it a bit differently. Otherwise, it is a good book and one every one in America should read. We indeed, have a crisis going on.

Why Are So Many Black Men In Prison? A Comprehensive Account Of How And Why The Prison Industry Has Become A Predatory Entity In.......2007-06-09
The book was very interesting. I learned soooo much about the government and the prison industry. I did some searching independantly to check on the things reported in the book and they are very true. Great Read!! Buy the book.
A Must Read.......2007-05-25
Mr. Demico's book is a must-read for anyone concerned about young African American men. Although I did not agree with every conclusion he reached, Demico's main premises are convincing. As a white woman who teaches mainly students of color, I am always impressed, and often in awe, of those young men who reach college with so much going against them. Demico's books lays bare not only the horrible inequalities of our society, but also the racist attitudes of our political system - - Democrats, Republicans, and most everyone in between.

I is a well put together book. He really goes into a lot of detail of how our society is really set up.
Why are so many blacks in prison?.......2007-05-12
I found this book very interesting. As a white devil myself, I had no idea that I was responsible for forcing blacks into committing crimes and then subsequently clogging up the whole "Prison Industrial Complex"(tm). I will try to stop causing this, as I am sure it is creating a LOT of trouble for everyone! Sorry!
It is probably also my fault that young black men dressed in XXXXL clothes overtly threaten me and my family members routinely. Can anyone tell me what I should do to make this not happen?
I imagine it's also my fault that black on white violent crime is WAY higher than white on black violent crime, even though blacks constitute about 12.5% of the population, and whites are about 70%. But since it is impossible for a black to commit a hate crime according to our criminal justice system (since blacks are not under any circumstances racist), statistically, there are more white on black hate crimes. Boothe notes a statistic regarding hate crimes, but he skips the one about interracial violence in general.
In sum, Boothe notes that just about everything blacks do is actually MY fault, because my skin is white. Boothe, I've got a word for you.
Introspection.
Book Description
Critical acclaim for Sisters in the Resistance
"Often moving . . . always fascinating . . . women in the French Resistance is a key subject. Margaret Weitz has gathered personal testimonies . . . and set them in an intelligible context that helps us understand how all French peopleâmen and womenâexperienced the Nazi occupation." âRobert Paxton, Mellon Professor of Social Sciences, Columbia University, and author of Vichy France: Old Guard and New Order, 1940-1944.
"Compulsive reading . . . a valuable book which vividly portrays the intricacies of resistance within France, written in an easy but serious style." âTimes Literary Supplement (London).
"An absolutely stunning and compelling chronicle of dauntless courage and unflagging patriotism." âBooklist.
"[Margaret Collins Weitz's] well-researched, thoughtful study. . . has filled a gap in the history of World War II." âPublishers Weekly.
"Balancing absorbing narrative and astute analysis, Margaret Collins Weitz has integrated the unsung achievements of women into the history of the French Resistance." âCarole Fink, Professor of History, The Ohio State University, and author of Marc Bloch: A Life in History.
"Fifty years after the end of World War II, Sisters in the Resistance renders homage to the courageous women of the French Resistance. It is high time for their contributions to be fully acknowledged, and fortunate indeed that they have found such a sympathetic, scholarly, and lucid chronicler in Margaret Collins Weitz." âMarilyn Yalom, author of Blood Sisters: The French Revolution in Women's Memory.

A great compilation of oral histories, but bad conclusions........1999-03-18
Excellent chapters on the behind the scenes aspect of the resistance, including social services, where women dominated the field. The book does not, however, include food riots and worker's strikes. These are two areas of resistance that women also participated in.
For the most part Weitz is willing to let her interviews speak for her, with informative results. Her own analysis and conclusions show feminist leanings, and are far from objective. The concluding chapter digresses into a barrage of stereotypes and gender comparison.
Still, if one ignores the author's own remarks and concentrates on the primary sources, this is a worthwhile book.

Amazing Insight: Educational, Informative... and Entertaining!.......2007-02-11
I can tell you how pleased I am with this book. I know there are some people that would rate it simply based on their impression of the writer's television personality and politics, but regardless of where on stands on that, this book was impressive. I've read it, both of my daughters read it, my husband read it... and all loved it. It's some an important and untreated aspect of our history. But best of all, Ms. Clift tells the history in a lively, compelling way... I almost felt like I knew these women and lived in that time period. I highly recommend this. I'll be using it in my classroom next year. I'm a high school teacher.
BRILLIANT BOOK...BRILLIANT WOMAN.......2003-12-03
eleanor clift's latest book Founding Sisters is her best yet. it is not only informative and insightful, but also beautifully and eloquently written. i think it is important for women in this country to know our history and to honor those women who fiercely struggled, fought, and were in some cases even martyred so that our voice could someday be heard. for those who find ms. clift's book indolent and her research remiss, they should check again. if they are at all honest with themselves, they must admit that there were a lot of facts stated in this book that we (especially women) absolutely should have known, and because of our own complacent ignorance have never taken the time to explore. we need more women like eleanor clift to remind us of our history and give feminism a much needed resuscitation. this book defines the true meaning of girl power and sisterhood!
Ladies, if you can't get real, then maybe you'll not vote........2003-11-26
No, we all do not know that Sojourner Truth never gave that speech.
great little book.......2003-10-30
What a wonderful book, and by my favorite political commentator. I saw her on the Early Show and she made the book sound so interesting I had to run out and get it. It didn't disappoint. While maybe not as good as Ellis' Founding Brothers, it was nonetheless illuminating, engaging and enriching.
How the people below can condemn it on one mistake and by one line obviously written before the book was even out, is just wrong.
Clift needs to do more "Truth" checking before publishing.......2003-10-28
I am surprised to see the "Ain't I a Woman" speech attributed to Sojourner Truth--why did Eleanor Clift not read the definitive biography of Truth, written by Nell Irvin Painter?
We now know that Sojourner Truth did NOT utter those words attributed to her--this is clearly documented in Nell Irvin Painter's 1997 book "Sojourner Truth: A Life, A Symbol."
According to Shirley J. Yee, writing in the Journal of Women's History, (Spring 1998): "Women's historians have routinely cited this [A'rnt I A Woman] speech from 'The History of Woman Suffrage,' published in 1881 and edited by white suffrage advocates Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthoney, and Matilda Joslyn Gage. White feminist Frances Dana Gage had written about the appearance of Truth at the convention. Entitled 'Reminiscences by Frances D. Gage,' her contribution appeared two years before Truth's death in 1883."
Yee also notes: "After meticulous research into the available printed documents of the period, [Nell Irvin] Painter has found no evidence to corroborate Gage's 'report' of the speech, particularly from newspapers that likely would have reported such a momentous and controversial event as Gage supposedly memorialized. The absence of such evidence casts doubt upon whether Truth actually gave the speech and raises the distinct possibility that Gage contrived it."
What kind of research did Clift do, if any, to determine the veracity of this speech?
Book Description
With a magical gift for bringing sorcery to vivid life, acclaimed author Naomi Kritzer continues the suspenseful tale of Lauria and Tamar, sisters-in-arms bonded by blood–and torn apart by their enemies....
As a freeborn servant of the Greeks, Lauria once hunted escaped slaves. But as her loyalties shifted, she found herself freeing those she once captured–and loving those she once mistrusted–like Tamar, of the bandit Alashi tribe. Tamar is now Lauria’s blood-sister. But the powerful Greek sorceresses, the Sisterhood of Weavers, do not take treason lightly…especially when the traitor has liberated the djinni who serve them.
Soon Lauria is imprisoned. Desperate, Tamar pleads her case to the Alashi, who send her to sow discord among the Sisterhood. As Tamar searches for Lauria both in reality and in the dreamlike realm known as the borderland, Lauria must trust the magic within to fulfill a wish both desired and feared: freedom for all....

Concludes the trilogy, but a bit of a disappointment.......2006-09-07
I _loved_ the two earlier books in this series, and I loved Kritzer's other books. But this one stumbles. I'm sure that, if you read Freedom's Apprentice and Freedom's Gate, you'll buy Freedom's Sisters too -- just because you need to wrap up the "...and then what happened?" the author left us with; however, you may end up saying, "oh" instead of "wow."
Kritzer does tell us more about the world in which her characters live: where Alexander the Great didn't die young, where slavery is rampant, and where djinn were captured to perform magic for their owners. (And darned good worldbuilding it is, too.) In the final book of the trilogy, she fills in more of the political landscape, but it's mostly painted in the background or reported by a secondary character. Yes, you do find out about what it means for Lauria to be a "gate" and the promise of the rivers' release. But by that point, I'm not sure that I cared to know as desperately as I once did.
One reason is that the two main characters, Lauria and Tamar, are separated for most of the book. Kritzer has to switch back-and-forth between each character to move the action along, which in this case made the story flow uneven. Kritzer's also so busy trying to move the characters through the story that she does less painting of the background; in earlier books, we get the taste of kumiss, the smell of the tents, the heat of the day -- our senses are engaged. Not so much, here.
A larger problem is that Kritzer's characterizations aren't up to her usual excellent quality; people change their minds or make decisions for apparently random reasons, and their motivations are unclear. (I'd give examples but they might become spoilers.) Is Kyros a good guy or a bad guy? What's going on in his head? She could have accomplished a great deal by giving *his* viewpoint in the story.
I did read the book all the way through, and I was glad to find out what happened to the Alashi. Despite my criticisms, I suspect that most readers of #1 and #2 will feel compelled to read #3. It's just that Kritzer is ordinarily such an awesome writer that this single stumble is a disappointment -- like an A+ student unaccountably handing in a B- term paper.
Slightly disappointed, and stunned by it.......2006-08-31
Freedom's Sisters is the final book in Kritzer's Dead Rivers Trilogy (follows Freedom's Gate and Freedom's Apprentice). The story of Lauria and Tamar continues as the former is captured and held by the Greeks and the more importantly, the Sisterhood of Weavers. Tamar, the former slave Alibek, and Janiya are looking for Lauria and trying to entice the Younger Sisters to rise against the Sisterhood. The main characters from the last two books are now separated, but working towards the same goals. Lauria's place as a Gate and what that means becomes clear. Tamar and Alibeck grow to shed the last vestiges of their enslavement. As an ending, it was pretty disappointing. The duel plot lines weakened the finish to what had been a great series. All in all said, it is worth reading, but you'll probably like it better if you read all three books back to back. I started this one when it came out, but found I had to reread the second in the series to become interested in the beginning of Freedom's Sisters. This slight disappointment is a first for me with a Kritzer book. Read them all!
Wonderful conclusion to great series.......2006-08-02
Wow. This was a fantastic book and a really great series. This was the type of book that once you start, you cannot stop reading. However, I suggest you start with the first book in the series, Freedom's Gate. If you like this series, I would also recommend Carol Berg. Her style is similar.
strong fantasy.......2006-08-02
Wanting to please her father Kyros, a very highly placed power in the Penelopeia Empire, Lauria catches runaway slaves. She was sent to spy on the Alashi on the steppes outside the empire because they took in runaway slaves. They also have a surplus of karentitee which the rulers of the empire, the Sisterhood of Weavers, use to bind jinn, and that stock is desperately needed because Penelopeia is running out.
When Lauria tries to free the last slave she helped capture, the slave turns her in and her father takes her to Penelopeia to be judged because she also committed the crime of freeing a bound jinn; the only known person who can do so because she has a special gate in her heart which lets her return them to their home. Her blood-sister Tamar and two others are sent out to sow discord between the Sisterhood of the Weavers, the Young sisters and a rouge element of the army to divert attention from the Alashai who the empire wants to conquer in order to take possession of karentite. When Lauria gains her freedom through her series of adventures by hersef, with Tamar and her other allies, she believes she has a way of saving the empire.
What began in FREEDOM'S GAME and continues in FREEDOM'S APPRENTICE comes to a glorious conclusion in FREEDOM'S SISTERS. In a world where women hold the power Lauria and Tamar stand out as the brave people who try to overthrow their conditioning and fight the empire on their terms. Readers will be enthralled by the adventures Tamer and Lauria undergo, separately and together as they struggle to accomplish their goal. Naomi Kritzer is a master storyteller who creates characters the audience comes to love.

Book Description
Sisters in the Struggle tells the stories and documents the contributions of African American women to the most important social reform movements in the United States in the twentieth century. Only recently have historians and other researchers begun to recognize black women's central role in the battle for racial and gender equality.
These essays describe the early ideological development of Ella Baker, who helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Commitee in 1960. Fannie Lou Hamer's use of her personal anguish to mold her public persona; and Septima Clark's creation of a network of "Citizenship Schools" to teach poor black southerners to read and write to help them register to vote. We learn of black women's activism in the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, the Black Panther Party, and the Free Joan Little Movement in the 1970s. It also includes personal testimonies from women who made headlines with their courageous resistance to racism and sexism- Rosa Parks, Charlayne Hunter Gault, and Dorohy Height.
Sisters in the Struggle presents a detailed analysis of the multifaceted roles played by women in civil rights and Black Power organizations, as well as the major political parties at the local, state, and national levels, while documenting the formation of a distinct black feminist consciousness. It represents the coming of age of African American women's history and presents new studies that point the way to future research and analysis.

Customer Reviews:
Highly recommended.......2005-11-22
Through the words of scholars and female Civil Rights-Black Power activists, this book provides an excellent overview of the movement. It is a necessary read for anyone who does not understand that black women were essential to the Civil Rights-Black Power movement or who does not understand why black women created their own organizations (i.e., NACW, NCNW, Combahee River Collective, etc.) to insure that their issues were addressed. Each of the essays also provide a wonderful source of general background information to help you understand the historical context without overloading you with info.
A Historical Timepiece.......2004-07-03
SISTERS IN THE STRUGGLE chronicles the contributions of African American women at the height of the social reform movement in the twentieth century. It provided a different perspective than what is customarily shed on this era.
The book depicts the selflessness of some important historical figures such as well-known Rosa Parks whose stubborn refusal to give up her bus seat sparked an inferno in the Civil Rights Movement. Mary MacLeod Bethune's achievement of founding Bethune-Cookman College in 1904 to offer higher education opportunities to African American women is chronicled. The life and times of Charlayne Hunter-Gault, who struggled to tear down the racial dividers at the University of Georgia and won the right to enroll in 1961, as well as many other historical accounts.
This book was a book club selection. Due to the text-book like offerings, we choose a subsection of the book on which to focus. All in all, the book contributed to a lively discussion as to how women of today are still `in the struggle.' Although dry at times, the book does provide an insightful peek into our history.

My daughter is very fond of historical fiction, and as she always says about this series - Their a must!

The best Doll Hospital book.......2004-04-13
This is our favorite book in the Doll Hospital series. It's a tie with our other favorite in the series, #1 Tatiana Comes to America. They're all amusing and historically informative--we've read them all more than once by now.
Funny, enjoyable, informative book.......2003-03-26
When a plantation-owner's daughter named Arabella gets a beautiful wax doll from England, she scorns it because it's not the exact doll she wants. May, a slave girl, likes the doll and helps name it Glory. When May gets in trouble for back-talking another plantation owners' daughter, she must escape on the Underground Railroad. For reasons I won't give away here, we discover that the doll is in danger and must escape too. They travel together in a manner devised by May. The doll winds up hidden in a house for over a hundred years. When she's discovered she is finally able to tell the world about May's journey.
Along with this historic story we also hear the story of Rose and Lila and their grandmother, who runs a doll hospital. By watching the repair of Glory, we learn how a wax doll might be repaired and we hear about Rose and Lila's growing friendship with a neighbor girl.
The humor in this book is subtle, but really great. My girls now say "Up and Adam" to wake each other up. If you've read this book, you'll get that. The conversation between the various dolls is witty. We have read all 3 Doll Hospital books together. This is our favorite so far. Good humor, good tension, great story! Excellent!
The Story That Must Be Told.......2003-01-14
When Rose and Lila's parents go to Africa for a year, for their work as doctors, Rose(age 10) and Lila(age 8) must stay with their maternal grandmother,whom they hardly know. As they snoop through her house (Book 1), they soon discover that "Far Nana" has a few secrets worth knowing. "Far Nana" runs a doll hospital from her home and has the intuitive skill of listening to the stories of the dolls she repairs. She tells these stories to the girls in the first person, from the point of view of the doll. In these books, the reader is reading the ongoing story of Rose and Lila's adjustments to living with their grandmother and the historical story of a doll, in a story-within-a-story format.
In "Glory's Freedom" the girls hear the story of a wax doll, owned by a girl on a Southern plantation, who escapes the heat of the coming summer in the arms of girl running away from slavery. I found Glory's story to be a captivating lesson in history, slavery, and friendship told with characters that children will relate to.
In Lila and Rose's story, they learn about auctions by attending a doll auction with their grandmother. They take this experiential knowledge of auctions and quickly relate it to the slave auctions they hear about in Glory's story. The girls' become further interested in Glory's story and have a chance to talk to her current owner about the unusual way Glory was found and they find a story that must be told.
The reading level for this book is for grade 3. I would not recommend this series for readers younger then 6 years of age because the intertwining stories may be confusing. A paper doll is included in each book, which may be of added interest to some readers.
Book Description
Gilded Age cities offered extraordinary opportunities to women--but at a price. As clerks, factory hands, and professionals flocked downtown to earn a living, they alarmed social critics and city fathers, who warned that self-supporting women were just steps away from becoming prostitutes. With in-depth research possible only in a mid-sized city, Sharon E. Wood focuses on Davenport, Iowa, to explore the lives of working women and the prostitutes who shared their neighborhoods.
The single, self-supporting women who migrated to Davenport in the years following the Civil War saw paid labor as the foundation of citizenship. They took up the tools of public and political life to assert the respectability of paid employment and to confront the demon of prostitution. Wood offers cradle-to-grave portraits of individual girls and women--both prostitutes and "respectable" white workers--seeking to reshape their city and expand women's opportunities. As Wood demonstrates, however, their efforts to rewrite the sexual politics of the streets met powerful resistance at every turn from men defending their political rights and sexual power.

Absorbing and Provocative.......2007-07-28
This opened my eyes to women's status in the Gilded Age in a typical good-sized Midwestern town. I couldn't put it down.
Revelations about Davenport in the Gilded Age.......2007-07-03
My godson is taking his orals for his PhD, and as a requirement, was told to read this, among 100 other assigned books. As he knew I was a Davenport native, he thought I might enjoy reading this. As a female, I found it especially fascinating as it deals mostly with the status of women, both prostitutes and women who owned small businesses, worked as clerks and in other professions, in the Gilded Age. I had no idea that prostition was once legalized in Davenport and such establishements were licensed. I also was surprised to learn how the German influence led to widespread flauting of Prohibition. I had gone to the Lend-A-Hand club as a small girl after school, and reading the history of that venerable institution was really heartening. My grandfather ran a Shell Service station at the base of the Government Bridge and it was amazing to read how that area was a hotbed of vice from 1880-1920.
I bought this book for my mother, who grew up in Davenport, and who is now 90. She knew many of the names in the book, attended school with one of the girls, and was amazed to hear all this come to life. Many of the facts and stories were told her by HER mother, and she was taken back in time when these stories were confirmed. She is now busily engaged in digesting the book.
But the book is better than simply a Davenport history snapshot. As a woman, I was disheartened in the extreme to read of the cruelty practiced on young girls, as young as 11 who were forced into prostitution after having been raped. The Good Shepherd Home in Dubuque proved a godsend for many of the unfortunate girls. They were given a new life and dignity. It left me with new respect for the work of the Catholic Church in restoring people's lives.
This book gave me a view of middle America that caught me off guard. I hope this book gains wide currency, as it deserves it.
