Going Public responds to the urgent need to expand current thinking
on what it means to co-create and to actively involve the public in
research activities. Drawing on conversations with over thirty
practitioners across multiple cultures and disciplines, this book
examines the ways in which oral historians, media producers, and
theatre artists use art, stories, and participatory practices to
engage creatively with their publics. It offers insights into
concerns related to voice, appropriation, privilege, and the ethics
of participation, and it reveals that the shift towards
participatory research and creative practices requires a commitment
to asking tough questions about oneself and the ways that
people’s stories are used.
Remembering Mass Violence breaks new ground in oral history, new
media, and performance studies by exploring what is at stake when
we attempt to represent war, genocide, and other violations of
human rights in a variety of creative works. A model of
community-university collaboration, it includes contributions from
scholars in a wide range of disciplines, survivors of mass
violence, and performers and artists who have created works based
on these events. This anthology is global in focus, with essays on
Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America. At its core
is a productive tension between public and private memory, a
dialogue between autobiography and biography, and between
individual experience and societal transformation. Remembering Mass
Violence will appeal to oral historians, digital practitioners and
performance-based artists around the world, as well researchers and
activists involved in human rights research, migration studies, and
genocide studies.

Jim Thurmond is an unlikely hero. He's an embittered Viet Nam vet
with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and a drinking problem the size
of Texas. When Jim suffers a full-blown breakdown, he emerges with
the realization that America's political, financial and legal
systems have become hopelessly corrupt. Jim hasn't worn his
country's uniform for decades but, like all vets, he never
renounced his oath to support and defend the Constitution against
all enemies, foreign and domestic. Jim and a small group of fellow
veterans of the super-secret Army Security Agency decide to take
matters into their own hands. Like our Founding Fathers, they form
a Committee of Safety, vigilantes dedicated to making sure that
America's domestic enemies pay the ultimate price. Branded domestic
terrorists, they rush to complete their mission before the full
might of the FBI can stop them. Jim's mission to restore America's
values forces him to confront his own demons. He'll either save
America and himself in the process, or die trying.

A man's character is revealed by his actions. Author Michael Little
suffered a near-fatal brain hemorrhage, which left him unable to
speak intelligibly, crippled, blind, and senseless. Michael refused
to be defined by his injury, choosing instead to let his struggle
and recovery speak for him. Stranger in the Mirror is the story of
one man's journey through his dark night of soul to enlightenment.
Michael shows us that our lives are full of choices and our
limitations are often self-imposed. Facing tragedy with humor, grit
and grace, Michael found redemption. In writing this remarkable
book, he shows the way for all of us, to reassess and redirect our
lives in a more positive meaningful direction. Stranger in the
Mirror is a highly literate book that may send some readers
scrambling for their dictionary. The author isn't showing off, but
he is careful to use the words he means, and mean what he writes.
This joyous book is a dazzling tour de force, filled with humor and
wisdom. It is sure to inspire courage and bring hope to stroke and
brain injured survivors and their families. Michael shows all of us
we, too, can have the happy ending we deserve. This powerful book
will lift you to new heights where the air is thinner. This is the
owner's manual stroke and brain injury survivors need. Brain injury
needn't be the end. It can be a beginning. More than half this
wonderful book is of a medical nature; what families and survivors
should know to help them move forward. The balance focuses on the
author's struggles, his blunders, and his insights into a brain
damaged world. "The author should be immensely proud. This book is
good medicine. You'll laugh out loud " said author Mark Twain.
