The Hard Bounce
The debut novel from the creator of Thuglit. Boo Malone lost everything when he was sent to St. Gabriel's Home for Boys. There, he picked up a few key survival skills; a wee bit of an anger management problem; and his best friend for life, Junior.

Together, they provide security for The Cellar, a Boston nightclub where the bartender Audrey doles out hugs and scoldings for her favorite misfits, and the night porter, Luke, expects them to watch their language. At last Boo has found a family. But when Boo and Junior are hired to find...

Silent Rage
It was a loud, chaotic send-off. As Mac and Marisa climbed into their deck-out car, the crowd bid them good-bye as the newlywed couple pulled off and left the reception hall en route to their honeymoon. As they drove down the road, Marisa pondered the last several years of her life: having joined Move 'N' Groove with Darnell after they were fresh out of broadcasting school, being promoted to manage a dance team, and then her unfortunate accident and roller coaster life adjustment. The more she thought about it, the more she felt her life had a mysteriously divine purpose and a little more meaning. Now that Move 'N' Groove and Signs of X-pression were merged into one entertainment agency and she was professionally and personally committed to the love of her life, Marisa knew for sure that everything would be all right this time. Snuggling up to her new husband, Marisa let out a contented sigh and drifted off to sleep, lulled by sound of the beer cans clanking, rattling from the rear of the car as they continued driving late into the night.
A City Within a City
A City within a City examines the civil rights movement in the North by concentrating on the struggles for equality in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Historian Todd Robinson studies the issues surrounding school integration and bureaucratic reforms as well as the role of black youth activism to detail the diversity of black resistance. He focuses on respectability within the African American community as a way of understanding how the movement was formed and held together. And he elucidates the oppositional role of northern conservatives regarding racial progress. A City within a City cogently argues that the post-war political reform championed by local Republicans transformed the city's racial geography, creating a racialized "city within a city," featuring a system of "managerial racism" designed to keep blacks in declining inner-city areas. As Robinson indicates, this bold, provocative framework for understanding race relations in Grand Rapids has broader implications for illuminating the twentieth-century African American urban experience in secondary cities.

Mass for Shut-Ins
The poems in Mass for Shut-Ins are galloping and all-at-once pensive. There's always risk with a touch of ego and humanity. The emotional range of a single poem can go from hilarity to remorse to bravado. These poems speak to being human and alive and work with both vivid imagery and philosophical ruminations.
Terrains of Consciousness
TERRAINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS emerges from an Indian-German-Swiss research collaboration. The book makes a case for a phenomenology of globalization that pays attention to locally situated socioeconomic terrains, everyday practices, and cultures of knowledge. This is exemplified in relation to three topics: - the tension between 'terrain' and 'territory' in Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe' as a pioneering work of the globalist mentality (chapter 1) - the relationship between established conceptions of feminism and the concrete struggles of women in India since the 19th century (chapter 2) - the exploration of urban space and urban life in writings on India's capital - from Ahmed Ali to Arundhati Roy (chapter 3).
