Book Description
The book engages with an urgent and disturbing question: how are ordinary people readied to willingly kill others in the name of a cause? It compares narratives of actors in domains often assumed incomparable in academic discourse: Naxalites studied within the framework of peasant rebellion, social movement or recently even terrorism, and Hindu rioters viewed mostly under the broad rubric of ethnic violence. The book draws from the author’s extensive and painstaking fieldwork, first with Naxalite armed cadre across seven districts in Jharkhand and Bihar, and later with participants in the 2002 riots in Gujarat. Viewed from the standpoint of the perpetrator or foot soldier, the book bridges hitherto sacrosanct boundaries between left-extremist and communal violence, making available a whole new dimension to the study of social mobilisation, the politics of identity and, with far reaching implications, discovers deep commonalities in the life-worlds and aspirations of those motivated to kill in the name of a cause in apparently disparate contexts. The findings of this compelling analysis of human actors — ordinary people driven to extraordinary violence — will interest the informed general reader, as also those interested in sociology, politics, violence studies, ethnic movements, Naxalism, policy studies, and peace & conflict studies.

Book Description
“This book was written late in the North American night, with the rumbling thuds and booming train horns of the nearby rail yard echoing through my windows, reminding me of the train hoppers and gutter punks out there rolling through the darkness.” In Drift, Jeff Ferrell shows how dislocation and disorientation can become phenomena in their own right. Examining the history of drifting, he situates contemporary drift within today’s economic, legal, and cultural dynamics. He also highlights a distinctly North American form of drift—that of the train-hopping hobo—by tracing the hobo’s legal and political history and by detailing his own immersion in the world of contemporary train-hoppers. Along the way, Ferrell sheds light on the ephemeral intensity of drifting communities and explores the contested politics of drift: the strategies that legal authorities employ to control drifters in the interest of economic development, the social and spatial dislocations that these strategies ironically exacerbate, and the ways in which drifters create their own slippery forms of resistance. Ferrell concludes that drift constitutes a necessary subject of social inquiry and a way of revitalizing social inquiry itself, offering as it does new models for knowing and engaging with the contemporary world.

Book Description
In Broken Soul, the author tells the story of her mother's alcoholism, and fanatic love for her father; which nearly destroyed her entire family from the late 1940's to the present. She believed that her baby brother suffered the most, and was also let down by the local agencies which should have come to his rescue. The author expresses how her father's side of her family may possibly contain DNA of high achievers, which led her to compare her family's life experiences with her father's extended family, especially a cousin who rose up to become President Obama's appointed US Attorney General. The author later determined that her brother and her cousin played opposite roles at the justice department since as a teenager, her brother served a life sentence in prison for murder. He served his time at Attica State Prison during the infamous 1971 riot; and due to his high achievement capability, he became one of the first prisoners in the nation to be awarded a BA degree (he majored in psychology) while serving his time in prison. He had never even completed elementary school before going to prison. Her brother played a part in developing the prison's college program while still an inmate, where he worked immediately upon his release. There was also an eighty–five–year–old cousin who formerly owned a gas station in Rocky Mount, North Carolina back in the Jim Crow era, which was unheard of at the time. The family also includes a cousin who retired in his early thirties from the Philadelphia Phillies as a major–league baseball player. Today he is an author and sports analyst for ESPN Sports TV. The story follows her brother's painful journey, from the beginning of his childhood, until his early death ended his suffering. The journey takes us deep into the reasons why so many souls die, unable to be resuscitated. The journey caused her brother a broken soul!
