Don't Hold Me Back
Winfred Rembert grew up in the 1950s in rural Georgia as the child of sharecroppers whose lives were little better than slavery. As a young man, he was nearly lynched, and served seven years in jail and on a chain gang. Yet he constantly found ways to create, to invent, to uplift. As a child, he made toys from pieces of junk at the town dump. In prison, he watched a leather worker and learned to carve and paint the leather himself. Now, in his own voice and through his powerful paintings, he shares with a new generation of young people his story and his passionate commitment to self-improvement. Reminiscent of the work of Jacob Lawrence and Horace Pippin, the paintings? rich, deep colors and poignant details powerfully narrate a story of personal courage and exceptional talent. At the same time, Rembert shows how the civil rights movement was not just a matter of famous speechs and marches, but was a product of the bonds of the black community and the unbreakable spirit of individuals

Winfred Rembert
Discover the skill, determination and resilience of African-American artist Winfred Rembert in the first published monograph on his powerful, profoundly original oeuvre Born to a family of Georgia field laborers in the era of Jim Crow, Winfred Rembert did not begin his full-time artistic practice until the age of 51, following a life of extreme hardship that saw him survive arrest, a near-lynching at the hands of law enforcement, and seven years on chain gangs. These harrowing experiences would prove central to the narrative of his extraordinary art--a striking visual memoir which tells Rembert's story with beauty on carved and painted leather. The first published monograph on the visionary artist, this book presents Rembert's unique body of autobiographical paintings alongside contributions by curator Zoé Whitley, historian Dan Berger and poet and lawyer Reginald Dwayne Betts that introduce and contextualize these extraordinary works.
Biophilia
New York Times Bestseller Christopher Marley's art expresses his passionate engagement with the beautiful forms of nature. Beginning with insects and moving on to aquatic life, reptiles, birds, plants, and minerals, Marley has used his skills as a designer, conservator, taxidermist, and environmentally responsible collector to make images and mosaics that produce strong, positive emotional responses in viewers. Marley has a brilliant eye for color and pattern in different natural objects, and he expertly captures the deep relationships among them. Biophilia (literally, "love of living things") is a must-have for nature lovers, designers, artists, craftspeople, and anyone looking for visual inspiration in the arts.

The Limits of Blame
Faith in the power and righteousness of retribution has taken over the American criminal justice system. Approaching punishment and responsibility from a philosophical perspective, Erin Kelly challenges the moralism behind harsh treatment of criminal offenders and calls into question our society’s commitment to mass incarceration. The Limits of Blame takes issue with a criminal justice system that aligns legal criteria of guilt with moral criteria of blameworthiness. Many incarcerated people do not meet the criteria of blameworthiness, even when they are guilty of crimes. Kelly underscores the problems of exaggerating what criminal guilt indicates, particularly when it is tied to the illus...
