Hundreds of studies had previously established a link between racial discrimination and the health of Black Americans, with little progress toward solutions.

Today's medical texts and instruments still carry fallacious slavery-era assumptions that Black bodies are fundamentally different from white bodies. Study after study of medical settings show worse treatment and outcomes for Black patients. Black people live in dirtier, more polluted communities due to environmental racism and neglect from all levels of government.

A life full of promise and hope, cut tragically short, Liliana's story instead became subsumed into Mexico's dark and relentless history of domestic violence.

It traces the story of her childhood, her early romance with a handsome-but possessive and short-tempered-man, through the exhilarating weeks leading up to that fateful July morning, a summer when Liliana loved, thought, and traveled more widely and freely than she ever had before. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using her remarkable talents as a scholar, novelist, and poet, Cristina Rivera Garza returns to Mexico after decades of living in the United States to collect and curate evidence --handwritten letters, police reports, school notebooks, architectural blueprints-- in order to render and understand a life beyond the crime itself. Tracing the full arc of their childhood and adolescence in central Mexico, through the painful and confusing years after Liliana's death, Rivera Garza confronts the trauma of losing her sister, and examines from multiple angles how this tragedy continues to shape who she is--and what she fights for--today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cristina Rivera Garza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Espanol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.87h x 5.12w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644734346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e Spanish","brand":"Rivera Garza, Cristina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45256177320164,"sku":"9781644734346","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9781644734346.jpg?v=1778117436"},{"product_id":"james-percival-everett-hardcover","title":"James (Pulitzer Prize Winner) -- Percival Everett, Hardcover","description":"\u003cb\u003eNAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR BY TIME, NPR, THE SEATTLE TIMES, ELLE, THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, AND OPRAH DAILY \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA brilliant, action-packed reimagining of \u003ci\u003eAdventures of Huckleberry Finn\u003c\/i\u003e, both harrowing and ferociously funny, told from the enslaved Jim's point of view - From the \"literary icon\" (\u003ci\u003eOprah Daily\u003c\/i\u003e) and Pulitzer Prize Finalist whose novel \u003ci\u003eErasure\u003c\/i\u003e is the basis for Cord Jefferson's critically acclaimed film \u003ci\u003eAmerican Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003eIf you liked \u003ci\u003eDemon Copperhead, \u003c\/i\u003e by Barbara Kingsolver, read J\u003ci\u003eames, \u003c\/i\u003e by Percival Everett\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan.

He transformed a failing law-enforcement backwater, riddled with scandal, into a modern machine. He believed in the power of the federal government to do great things for the nation and its citizens. He also believed that certain people--many of them communists or racial minorities or both-- did not deserve to be included in that American project. Hoover rose to power and then stayed there, decade after decade, using the tools of state to create a personal fiefdom unrivaled in U.S. history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeverly Gage's monumental work explores the full sweep of Hoover's life and career, from his birth in 1895 to a modest Washington civil-service family through his death in 1972. In her nuanced and definitive portrait, Gage shows how Hoover was more than a one-dimensional tyrant and schemer who strong-armed the rest of the country into submission. As FBI director from 1924 through his death in 1972, he was a confidant, counselor, and adversary to eight U.S. presidents, four Republicans and four Democrats. Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson did the most to empower him, yet his closest friend among the eight was fellow anticommunist warrior Richard Nixon. Hoover was not above blackmail and intimidation, but he also embodied conservative values ranging from anticommunism to white supremacy to a crusading and politicized interpretation of Christianity. This garnered him the admiration of millions of Americans.
