WHAT WE CARRY: STORIES BLACK WOMEN NEVER TELL is a product of Telling Our Stories - a program at Healthy Black Families, Inc. (HBF), in Berkeley, California. In this program HBF offers participants a safe space to recognize, analyze and address the affects of toxic stress associated with living with interpersonal and institutional racial discrimination. Motherhood, mother-child bonding, relationships, are more of the main themes that surface through these writings as a form of self-expression and agency. To date, HBF has completed three rounds of empowerment writing circles that have culminated in three books, entitled: What We Carry: Stories Black Women Never Tell – Volumes 1, 2, and 3. These books are authored by dedicated Black women from all walks of life who gathered over a period of 6 weeks sharing stories of many life experiences. Topics in the book range from Black Hair and Family Relationships to the Representation of Black People in Books and Films and more. The communal writing space whereby this book was birthed is an integral space devoted to Black women and community empowerment. When the women are empowered, the community is then empowered.

Marital Separation and Lethal Domestic Violence

This book is the first to investigate the effects of participation in separation or divorce proceedings on femicide (murder of a female), femicide-suicide, homicide, and suicide. Because separation is one of the most significant predictors of domestic violence, this book is exclusively devoted to theorizing, researching, and preventing lethal domestic violence or other assaults triggered by marital separation. The authors provide evidence supporting the use of an estrangement-specific risk assessment and estrangement-focused public education to prevent murders and assaults. This information is needed not only by instructors in criminal justice and sociology programs, but by researchers theorizing about or investigating domestic violence. In the world of practitioners, family court judges, divorce mediators, family lawyers, prosecutors involved in bail hearings, shelter staff, and family counselors urgently need this resource. Ellis et al. include discussion questions and chapter objectives to support learners in the classroom or in community-based settings, and instructor support material includes PowerPoint lecture slides, additional teaching and research resources, and a test bank. This text advocates convincingly for prevention of domestic violence, and gives academics and practitioners the tools they need.

Revolting Families places the literary depiction of familial and intimate relations in 1960s West Germany against the backdrop of public discourse on the political significance of the private sphere. Carrie Smith-Prei focuses on debut works by German authors considered to be part of the “new” and “black” realism movements: Dieter Wellershoff, Rolf Dieter Brinkmann, Gisela Elsner, and Renate Rasp. Each of the works by these authors uses depictions of neurosis, disgust, vertigo, or violence to elicit a reaction in readers that calls them to political, social, or ethical action.
Revolting Families thus extends the concept of negativity, which has long been part of post-war German philosophical and aesthetic theory, to the body in German literature and culture. Through an analysis of these texts and of contextual discourse, Smith-Prei develops a theoretical concept of corporeal negativity that works to provoke socio-political engagement with the private sphere.
