The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez
Why Did No One Save Gabriel? He was 8 years old, and the signs of abuse were obvious. Yet time and again, caseworkers from child-protective services failed to help him. The horrific death of 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez in 2013 triggered shock waves through Los Angeles and beyond that still linger to this day. On May 22, 2013 authorities responded to an emergency call at the home of Gabriel Fernandez because the 8-year-old had stopped breathing. When paramedics arrived, they found Gabriel bruised and beaten. His skull was cracked, three of his ribs were broken, BB pellets were embedded in his bruised and burned skin, and two of his teeth had been knocked out. He was immediately taken to a ho...

Another World
An extraordinary, compelling, deeply discerning, and lovingly articulated debut by a promising writer on the realities of navigating today’s cultural, political, ideological landscape with multiple marginalized identities. In this timely collection of essays, Maximillian Matthews interrogates Blackness, queerness, and systems of oppression. Serving as a combination of a memoir and cultural commentary, Matthews reflects on how institutions fail Black queer, trans, and gender non-conforming folks, particularly young adults. Through the revolutionary lens of abolition, Matthews contends with childhood, identity, sexuality, desirability, mental health, and more. Raw and introspective, Another World unpacks the infinite possibilities offered by abolition that include Matthews's own self-actualization. Exploring their journey from internalized oppression to becoming a reflective voice in the twenty-first century struggle for freedom, Matthews writes with a compelling insistence for readers to build Another World.

Crimesploitation
"Due to the graphic nature of this program, viewer discretion is advised." Most of us have encountered this warning while watching television at some point. It is typically attached to a brand of reality crime TV that Paul Kaplan and Daniel LaChance call "crimesploitation": spectacles designed to entertain mass audiences by exhibiting "real" criminal behavior and its consequences. This book examines their enduring popularity in American culture. Analyzing the structure and content of several popular crimesploitation shows, including Cops, Dog: The Bounty Hunter, and To Catch a Predator, as well as newer examples like Making a Murderer and Don't F**K with Cats, Kaplan and LaChance highlight t...
Lies with a Straight Face
Lies with a Straight Face tells the fascinating story of the precipitous rise and fall of the “ex-gay” conversion industry in a manner that is both enlightening and entertaining. This fast-moving, fact-based book is perfect or those who enjoy the marriage of politics, history and current events. The book features the riveting story of the 1998 Truth in Love ad campaign, where the Religious Right’s most prominent organizations joined forces to prove that LGBTQ people could be converted to heterosexuality through prayer and therapy. Their provocative national ad campaign created saturation media coverage, turned “ex-gay” into a household term and sparked innumerable water cooler conv...
Survival Instinct
Historical novel, love novel, novel about the human essence. Published twice, the last one in 2018, it immerses us in a story of multiple readings: that of a deep love and that of a country devastated by conflicts, injustice, evil, betrayal and, why not, by "a self-provoked blindness not to commit to what was happening". The protagonist, Lieutenant Guzmán, symbolizes the desperate defense of honor, love and family. His beliefs and values embark him on a heartbreaking struggle against a system to which he belongs, but at the same time repudiates. Only by immolating himself, only through self-sacrifice, will he see the way to protect that which justifies his existence: the noblest values to w...
