Islamophobia and the Law is a foundational volume of critical
scholarship on the emerging form of bigotry widely known as
Islamophobia. This book brings together leading legal scholars to
explore the emergence and rise of Islamophobia after the 9/11
terror attacks, particularly how the law brings about
state-sponsored Islamophobia and acts as a dynamic catalyst of
private Islamophobia and vigilante violence against Muslims. The
first book of its kind, it is a critical read for scholars and
practitioners, advocates and students interested in deepening their
knowledge of the subject matter. This collection addresses
Islamophobia in race, immigration and citizenship, criminal law and
national security, in the use of courts to advance anti-Muslim
projects and in law and society.

Before #MeToo, there was silence. Let's talk about that silence.
The Anatomy of Silence is a collection of voices speaking out loud
- often for the first time - about what it means to stay silent, to
be silenced, and to break the silence that surrounds sexual
violence. About how we are all complicit in creating that silence.
It offers an unflinching account of how a culture of shame
perpetuates a culture of violence against our bodies--and reflects
on what it would take to create a world in which that silence -
once broken - stays broken.

Cy Taillon was the molasses-voiced king of rodeo announcers. When
he died in 1980, newspapers in the West canonized him as the dean
of rodeo and compared him to John Wayne. A reformed rake, handsome
and charming and flashy, he was also difficult, often more lovable
to the public than to his family. In the thirties he married a
spitfire dancer from Arkansas who changed her name from Nedra Ann
to Patricia, and they hit the road in pursuit of stardom.
Their daughter, Cyra, grew up on the rodeo circuit, traveling
all over the West with her free-spirited, hell-raising parents,
often eating hamburgers and sleeping in the Packard. She was the
mascot, dressed in cowboy gear in spite of her father, who wanted
her to look like Shirley Temple. "Rain or Shine" is the story of
Cyra's complex relationship with her parents and eccentric
relatives. She looks back with pride, regret, and humor on family
life spent and misspent in the gaudy, gritty world of rodeo.
