Book Description
Life is not what you expect it to be. People look forward to new beginnings, hoping for a more fulfilled life. Little do they know that every new beginning comes at a price. Sometimes people aren't able to see past their adversities and loss, and in the face of such disaster, they abandon their hopes. We must understand that these events are mere hindrances in a much larger scheme of life. If we want to survive, we must cling to our hope under all circumstances. BROTHERLY LOVE explores the power of man willing to help and inspire one another to overcome any hardships of life. While fighting the remnants of war, the soul, crushing nightmares and haunting flashbacks, they struggle to adjust to civilian life. Eager to explore new beginnings, goals, and dreams, many veterans like Ben Savage finish their service and return home only to be confronted by some of the harsh realities of civilian life. After experiencing loss and suffering heart-breaking betrayal, Ben has lost all his hope. Trapped in a labyrinth of despair and self-pity, he seems to have no way out. Things started to take a turn when he encountered a navy seal, Joe Williams, on the Philadelphia art museum steps one night. Dive into this inspirational journey of friendship, faith, and brotherhood to see how one may overcome adversity and take control of their life once again.

Hate Thy Neighbor
Author: Jeannine Bell
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814791441
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
“Hate They Neighbor shows in devastating detail the rise and persistence of tactics for preventing residential racial integration, starting in the 20th century and continuing into the present. Although many minorities can find good housing in areas they can afford, just enough of their neighbors still greet them with cross-burnings, firebombs, and violence to send an ongoing warning: integrate at your own risk." —Amanda I. Seligman, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Despite increasing racial tolerance and national diversity, neighborhood segregation remains a very real problem in cities across America. Scholars, government officials, and the general public have long attempted to understand why segregation persists despite efforts to combat it, traditionally focusing on the issue of “white flight,” or the idea that white residents will move to other areas if their neighborhood becomes integrated. In Hate Thy Neighbor, Jeannine Bell expands upon these understandings by investigating a little-examined but surprisingly prevalent problem of “move-in violence:” the anti-integration violence directed by white residents at minorities who move into their neighborhoods. Apprehensive about their new neighbors and worried about declining property values, these residents resort to extra-legal violence and intimidation tactics, often using vandalism and verbal harassment to combat what they view as a violation of their territory. Hate Thy Neighbor is the first work to seriously examine the role violence plays in maintaining housing segregation, illustrating how intimidation and fear are employed to force minorities back into separate neighborhoods and prevent meaningful integration. Drawing on evidence that includes in-depth interviews with ordinary citizens and analysis of Fair Housing Act cases, Bell provides a moving examination of how neighborhood racial violence is enabled today and how it harms not only the victims, but entire communities. By finally shedding light on this disturbing phenomenon, Hate Thy Neighbor not only enhances our understanding of how prevalent segregation and this type of hate-crime remain, but also offers insightful analysis of a complex mix of remedies that can work to address this difficult problem. Jeannine Bell is Professor of Law at IU Maurer School of Law-Bloomington. She is the author of Policing Hatred: Law Enforcement, Civil Rights, and Hate Crime; Police and Policing Law; and Gaining Access to Research Sites: A Practical and Theoretical Guide for Qualitative Researchers (with Martha Feldman and Michele Berger).
