Social Value of Drug Addicts
In a wide-ranging analysis covering popular culture, policy, and underlying social structures, this book shows how drug addicts are socially constructed as useless burdens on society and who benefits from that portrayal.
Being Bewitched
In 1622, thirteen-year-old Elizabeth Jennings fell strangely ill. After doctors’ treatments proved useless, her family began to suspect the child had been bewitched, a suspicion that was confirmed when Elizabeth accused their neighbor Margaret Russell of witchcraft. In the events that followed, witchcraft hysteria intertwines with family rivalries, property disputes, and a web of supernatural beliefs. Starting from a manuscript account of the bewitchment, Kirsten Uszkalo sets the story of Elizabeth Jennings against both the specific circumstances of the powerful Jennings family and the broader history of witchcraft in early modern England. Fitting together the intricate pieces of this complex puzzle, Uszkalo reveals a story that encompasses the iron grip of superstition, the struggle among professionalizing medical specialties, and London’s lawless and unstoppable sprawl. In the picture that emerges, we see the young Elizabeth, pinned like a live butterfly at the dark center of a web of greed and corruption, sickness and lunacy.
Kirsten
Onder het pseudoniem Catherine Marchant verscheen van de hand van de beroemde schrijfster Catherine Cookson Aan de oever van de rivier, Rosa en Linda. Onder hetzelfde pseudoniem heeft zij de roman Kirsten geschreven, een intrigerend verhaal dat zich afspeelt in het donkere Engeland van de negentiende eeuw. In die tijd ging een wees per definitie een barre toekomst tegemoet. Dit geldt ook voor Kirsten MacGregor, wier ouders plotseling overlijden. Ze valt in handen van de gewetenloze Ma Bradley, die jongens en meisjes op egoïstische wijze uitbuit. Kirsten groeit op tot jonge vrouw. Haar natuurlijke schoonheid wordt ontsierd door een scheel oog. Het bijgelovige vissersvolk uit de streek beschouwt haar afwijking als de oorzaak van ongeluk, 'het boze oog', en uiteindelijk komt het tot een climax: ze moeten haar zien kwijt te raken. Ze wordt overgedaan aan de ketellapper Hop Fuller, die een harde, wrede meester blijkt te zijn en die bovendien herhaaldelijk haar eer belaagt...

COMING SOON TO NETLFIX! The Shoplifters Anonymous meetings that sixteen-year-old Moe is forced to attend are usually punctuated by the snores of an old man and the whining of the world's unhappiest housewife. Until the day that Tabitha Foster and Elodie Shaw walk in. Tabitha has just about everything she wants: money, friends, popularity, a hot boyfriend who worships her...and clearly a yen for stealing. So does Elodie, who, despite her goodie-two-shoes attitude pretty much has "klepto" written across her forehead in indelible marker. But both of them are nothing compared to Moe, a bad girl with an even worse reputation. Tabitha, Elodie, and Moe: a beauty queen, a wallflower, and a burnout-a more unlikely trio high school has rarely seen. And yet, when Tabitha challenges them to a steal-off, so begins a strange alliance linked by the thrill of stealing and the reasons that spawn it. Hollywood screenwriter Kirsten Smith tells this story from multiple perspectives with humor and warmth as three very different girls who are supposed to be learning the steps to recovery end up learning the rules of friendship.
