Northeastern University Press Boston / University Press of New England Hanover: 2007. Softcover. Brand new book. The latest volume in the popular trilogy of books about women poverty and violence. Tammara Tammy Johnson is an African-American woman in her fifties an ex-addict with a 19-year heroin habit and a felony record who works as the job development trainer for an in-patient drug treatment program in south suburban Chicago. Raised in a middle-class family Tammy left home early because she could not live up to parental expectations. She turned to drugs and crime and was eventually incarcerated for selling drugs. This book the third in a trilogy about Chicago women by noted author Jody Raphael is the story of Tammy's metamorphosis. Raphael's narrative based on extensive interviews with Tammy and family members shows the detrimental effects of incarceration on an already abused woman and illuminates Tammy's efforts to release herself from the literal and figurative prisons of abuse addiction crime fear and hopelessness. Raphael uses the transit of Tammy's life�from childhood trauma to adult rehabilitation�to investigate the linkages between childhood sexual assault and domestic violence with women's drug addiction and then with crime. She uses Tammy's own words to demonstrate how childhood sexual assault and violence can make women poor and how dysfunctional coping strategies keep them poor. Tammy's story is a reminder that violence against women and girls economically impoverishes them by trapping them in addictions leading to crime and other self-destructive activities. "Part great journalism and part thorough research Jody Raphael's book is an inspirational story of resilience and redemption wrapped in a deeply disturbing indictment of America's destructive response to women and their children trapped in the cycle of sexual violence drugs and imprisonment." �Peter Edelman Professor of Law Georgetown University Law Center and former Assistant Secretary U.S. Department of Health and Human Services "In Freeing Tammy Jody Raphael manages to tell a deeply engaging and moving story that simultaneously conveys important truths about the nature of imprisonment the promise of redemption and the strength and courage that it takes to overcome trauma and oppression. Like the life it describes it is an extraordinary and inspiring achievement."�Craig W. Haney Professor of Psychology University of California Santa Cruz The Table of Contents of this book is as follows: Prologue � Betrayal � Trial � County Jail � Prison � Numbing � Minimum Security � Terrence Alone � The Basement � Forgetting � Out of the Basement � Epilogue: Back to County � Notes � Bibliography � Acknowledgments � Index.

University of Oklahoma Press Norman: . Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. In Francisco Pizarro and His Brothers Rafael Varon Gabai breaks fresh ground in his reconstruction of the Pizarros' conquest as a new form of business enterprise built up by Francisco Pizarro both to conduct government and to manage his family's exploitation of Peru.
