Violence is often described as a social issue, a moral failing, or an innate human instinct. But in fact, argues Dr Gary Slutkin, violence is a contagion that infects a society like a disease. And we now know there is a cure. 'Gary Slutkin is one of the most important thinkers and activists in the vital effort to understand and reduce violent crime....an invaluable contribution.' Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of Our Nature This isn't a metaphor. In The End of Violence, Dr Slutkin draws on the expertise gleaned from four decades on the frontlines fighting deadly epidemics to reveal that violence operates according to the same predictable logic as every other contagious disease, initially infecting a small number of carriers then spreading from host to host. An act of violence is not just a tragic event - it's patient zero in an outbreak. Through compelling stories ranging from the war-torn streets of Syria to mass shootings in suburban America, The End of Violence offers a hopeful alternative to the failed strategies of deterrence and incarceration: a proven method that interrupts transmission, changes behaviour, and inoculates against future infection. Incisive, far-reaching, and ultimately hopeful, The End of Violence is essential reading that offers a new way to protect ourselves, heal our communities, and end the global epidemic of violence during our lifetime. 'This book could not be more relevant or useful.' William Ury, bestselling author of Getting to Yes 'A visionary work. A must-read, not only for practitioners but also for everyday people who care about their families, their futures, and those around them.' Dr Susan L. Bissell, Founding Director, Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children 'Dr Slutkin is revolutionizing the field entirely... The world needs this book now to change the tide of violence and build a world of peace.' Rima Salah, former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations

Why it is a disease and how it can be cured

The End of Violence

Forgiveness is necessary in the long fight for a just world-but it is only possible after the oppressed are victorious. 
 
For too long, revolutionary social movements have reconciled to defeat. We must start winning again. Forgiveness is a necessary strategy for remaking the world, to secure and sustain victories, to turn one-time enemies into friends. 
 
With deep political commitment and lucid moral clarity, David Renton makes the case for forgiveness, but of a particularly unruly sort. Tracing the tragic abuse of Eleanor Marx and Jane Wells, the mistakes of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the courage of the Bolshevik Revolution, and the redemption of an American televangelist, Renton urges us to forgive, but only after tearing down the citadels of the rich. 
 
Revolutionary Forgiveness merges history with philosophy, infuses politics with ethics, and connects collective struggle with the individual's search for justice to demand a future for all-when the oppressed will be magnanimous in power, and even former oppressors will be free.

Beyond Moralism, Toward Liberation

Revolutionary Forgiveness

"The rising number of ADHD diagnoses, particularly among adults, is not only confirmed by medical studies and mainstream reporting but also the borne out across social media solidarity among people who'd been privately coping with persistent, often inexpressible challenges. Many of contributors to this edited volume can attest to how a later-in-life diagnosis radically demystified the patterns, impulses, and impasses that had impacted their lives and their writing. The essays collected in Chaos, Creativity, Completion reflect the ways in which these varied individuals-poets, novelists, memoirists, filmmakers, and others-have come to understand and embrace the relationship between their ADHD and their creative practices. The resulting pieces vary in form and tone, directness and indirectness, humor and seriousness. Some are analytical, some are reflective, and some are delightfully weird. Several may seem unfocused at first but soon coalesce into cohesive wholes; others adopt experimental formal structures that, for lack of a better word, just seem to work for the author. These differences and idiosyncrasies are precisely what brings these authors together: just as the experience of ADHD varies from person to person, so do the ways in which those experiences can be expressed. Chaos, Creativity, Completion is a kaleidoscopic, adventurous series of takes on what writing looks like today, no matter who you are or what you have"-- Provided by publisher.

A book of transition-poetic, political, religious-and its always radical implications. 

Occupied with trans Islamic spirituality, the genocide in Palestine, and the manifold intricacies of queer love, the poems in imogen smith's second collection, raw &amp; zero, open up an unabashedly musical incitement to take a stand on honest ground. The poems in this collection are pastoral and urban, investigating the tensions between the philosophical and the pornographic. The influence of concrete poetry is felt throughout the book's middle section, where the poet plays with the sense of shape, space, and symbols. The author began both medically transitioning and converted to Islam during the writing of this book, which is felt in the book's themes of grounding, meaning, hope, love, lust, identity, and community alongside personal, regional, and global grief.

A collection of lyrical and experimental poems, Mermaid Theory redefines the page to visually and textually enact the struggles and celebrations of Arab-American femininity. 
 
In her second full-length collection, Maya Salameh offers a profound exploration of Arab-American identity, weaving together themes of myth, science, and cultural heritage. Salameh's innovative poetic forms blur the lines between ancient myth and psychological scholarship. 
 
Mermaid Theory boldly reimagines Arab-American womanhood in the modern military age, deploying psychological evaluation forms, ritual incantations, and other texts as visual lyric poems to deepen the reader's engagement. Salameh transcends simple narratives of shame or violence to offer a nuanced portrayal of identity, exploring both the privileges and heartbreaks of diasporic exile. Her multilingual poetry bridges Arabic and English, enriching the poems' sonic texture.&nbsp;
