What Might Be: Confronting Racism to Transform Our Institutions
by
Even as anti-racism practices seemed to be gaining momentum, the nation shows signs of falling back into long-standing patterns of racial injustice and inequality. Leaders who introduce anti-racist approaches to their organizations often face backlash from white colleagues and skepticism from colleagues of color, leading to paralysis. In What Might Be, Susan Sturm explores how to navigate the contradictions built into our racialized history, relationships, and institutions. She offers strategies and stories for confronting racism within predominantly white institutions, describing how change agents can move beyond talk to build the architecture of full participation.

Protect Your People: Challenging Mass Incarceration Together
by
Punishment for the Greater Good
by
Over ten million people are incarcerated throughout the world, even though punishment theorists have struggled for centuries to morally justify the practice. Theorists usually address criminal justice under abstract, idealized conditions that assume away real-world uncertainty. We don't have time, however, to wait for a perfect moral theory, and the history of philosophy suggests we will never find it. Punishment for the Greater Good examines the justification of punishment in the here and now, recognizing that we lack certainty about matters of both fact and value.

The Coroner's Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence
by
BLS Library is in the process of ordering 1 digital copy of this book.
Excerpt from CBH's book description: "Coroners’ reports are not innocuous. In his landmark study, scholar Terrence Keel meticulously uncovers how death investigations can—and often do—obscure the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. Now Keel has published his seminal research in a new book, The Coroner’s Silence; Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence. It’s a startling revelation of how incomplete autopsy reports, mishandled medical records, and strategically lost evidence have long shielded law enforcement from accountability."
