Convicted in 1977 for the murder of two FBI agents—a conviction many, including international human rights organizations, believe was a gross miscarriage of justice—Peltier has maintained his innocence for nearly half a century. In this volume, he moves beyond the public persona of a political metaphor to reveal the private man yearning for home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInvoking the sacred Sun Dance, Peltier explores how suffering can lead to a transcendent reality, providing deep sociological and spiritual insights into his incarceration.

Edited by Harvey Arden, with a preface by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and an introduction by Chief Arvol Looking Horse, this book remains a seminal work of contemporary indigenous literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 25px 0; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #8b0000; text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eAuthor Bio\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeonard Peltier\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Anishinabe-Lakota activist and a long-standing member of the American Indian Movement (AIM).

But we have been here before. For legendary writer James Baldwin, his \"after times\" came in the wake of the civil rights movement, shadowed by the murders of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eBegin Again\u003c\/strong\u003e, Glaude seamlessly mixes biography, history, and trenchant political analysis to document Baldwin's transformation into a more overtly political writer between 1963 and 1972. Drawing from newly uncovered interviews and Baldwin's own crucible, Glaude offers a penetrating study of how Baldwin's words continue to hold painful yet necessary relevance today. It is an endeavor to bear witness to the difficult truths of our current era, utilizing Baldwin's journey to find hope, renewed purpose, and guidance in the face of disillusionment and despair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 25px 0; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n        \u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #8b0000; text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h4\u003e\n        \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEddie S.

He needed to be sure he could pull the trigger with a shotgun barrel in his mouth. Twenty-six inches. Thirty-two years old. More than a decade in a double life fueled by depression and heroin.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn his groundbreaking memoir, The Weight of Air, David chronicles his struggle to overcome mental illness and addiction. By age nineteen, he'd been through medical detox, inpatient rehab, twelve-step programs, and a halfway house. He saw his drug use as a symptom of depression, but the experts insisted that addiction was the problem. Over the next thirteen years, he went from one relapse to the next, drowning in guilt, shame, and secrets, until he finally found an evidence-based treatment that not only saved his life, but helped him thrive.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith grit, humor, and brutal honesty, David's story reveals that traditional recovery models actually increase stigma and the risk of overdose, relapse, and death. As depression and addiction rates skyrocket and overdose fatalities surge, The Weight of Air is a scathing indictment of our failed response to the opioid crisis—and proof that success is possible.\u003cbr\u003e\n\"David Poses's unflinching memoir takes you to the dark corners of addiction—and shows there's a way out.\"—Eric Eyre, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Death in Mud Lick\u003cbr\u003e\n\"A searingly honest addiction memoir with a much-needed perspective.\"—Maia Szalavitz, New York Times best-selling author of Unbroken Brain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Bust-Down Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48055009280315,"sku":"1954861974","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/2077\/7531\/files\/ee4c8fce1530fa3710a4d6f60d9c0d07.jpg?v=1711531099"},{"product_id":"quentin-tarantino-and-philosophy","title":"Quentin Tarantino and Philosophy | K.

In this witty collection of articles, no subject is too taboo for the writers to tackle. From an aesthetic meditation on the use of spraying blood in Kill Bill to the conundrum of translation and reference in Vincent and Jules' discussion about French Big Macs in Pulp Fiction,Tarantino and Philosophy shies away from nothing. Is The Bride a heroic figure, even though she’s motivated solely by revenge? How is Tarantino able to create a coherent story when he jumps between past, future, and present?
