Al-Amin N: How To Social Entrepreneur

How To Social Entrepreneur

The Methodology of Turning a Lived Experience into a Business Plan

Drawn from the American Prison Writing Project Archive, a pivotal anthology of essays by incarcerated writers about the prison's role in perpetuating harm

Prison is neither the beginning of the inquiry nor the end. Thus, writers from across carceral institutions in the US unfold the multiple and intersecting ways that violence shapes and informs their lives, prior to, during, and after incarceration. They illuminate violence as a contextual phenomena shaped by historical trauma, cycles of deprivation, and systemic inequities. Harm and Punishment reveals the interconnectedness of personal and structural violence, tracing the way violence often emerges within the fabric of communities profoundly shaped by poverty, racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia.

The stories, testimonies, and reflections collected here serve as bridges toward a new imagination. They expose the limitations of punishment and move us closer to a vision of collective care and mutual responsibility. In bearing witness to the experiences of incarcerated writers, readers become part of a profound shared endeavor to dismantle the barriers of misunderstanding and fear, opening pathways to action and change.&nbsp;

Incarcerated Writers on Violence and the US Prison

Harm and Punishment

Palgrave Studies of Entrepreneurship and Social Challenges in Developing Economies

Offering a novel perspective on entrepreneurship that transcends geographical boundaries, this book amplifies the voice of the entrepreneur as a pivotal social actor, situating them within relevant theoretical and practical contexts. Employing aspects of visual anthropology as an analytical lens, the authors divide the book into distinct sections, each unearthing concealed narratives, processes, and challenges faced by entrepreneurs.Unlike conventional entrepreneurship studies, which predominantly focus on business creation for innovation and economic development, this work advocates for the integration of anthropological perspectives, employing photographic material and direct narratives sourced from the everyday lives of entrepreneurs. These visual artifacts provide a rich tapestry of insights, allowing readers to engage actively in meaning-making alongside the authors. By weaving together the experiences of entrepreneurs, the research fosters a collaborative exploration of entrepreneurship’s nuances.Emphasizing the intricate interplay between entrepreneurial endeavors and the realization of social change across diverse global contexts, this work will enrich both theory and practice in entrepreneurship, fostering a holistic appreciation of entrepreneurship as a dynamic force for societal transformation.Oscar Javier Montiel Méndez

Fundamentals and Portraits Across Countries and Contexts

The Entrepreneurial Journey

"These compelling re¿ections by people who have been entrapped within the tortures of solitary, should rekindle our abolitionist impulses at an especially critical moment in our history" Angela Y. Davis

"O¿ers an indispensable tool to campaigns for abolition everywhere"&nbsp;Juan E. Méndez, former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture&nbsp;

"Powerful ... These excruciating accounts from prisoners across the country shocked even me as I read them from the madhouse of Sing Sing" John J. Lennon, contributing editor at Esquire&nbsp;and author of The Tragedy of True Crime 

The injustice and cruelty of the US carceral system ¿nd their barbaric apogee in the practice of solitary con¿nement. Once deemed a form of torture by the US Supreme Court, "the hole" is still wrongly used as a solution to prison overcrowding and violence. But locking someone in a cell the size of a parking space for months or years causes profound psychological harm. For Christopher Blackwell, it was a harrowing ordeal that changed his life forever. Ending Isolation weaves Chris's vivid account with other stories from solitary, alongside insights from legal and medical experts. Through these narratives and undeniable research, the book makes a powerful case for abolishing this cruel and unusual punishment. 

Christopher Blackwell is an award-winning journalist currently incarcerated in Washington State. Deborah Zalesne is a law professor at CUNY School of Law. Kwaneta Harris is a journalist who survived eight years in solitary in Texas. Terry Kupers is a leading medical expert on the harms of solitary con¿nement.

The Case Against Solitary Confinement

Ending Isolation

An influential legal scholar argues that the Supreme Court played a pivotal role in the rise of mass incarceration in America. With less than 5 percent of the world's population and almost a quarter of its prisoners, America indisputably has a mass incarceration problem. How did it happen? Tough-on-crime politics and the war on drugs are obvious and important culprits, but another factor has received little attention: the Supreme Court. Since the 1960s, the Court has repeatedly disregarded constitutional limits on the state's power to lock people away. Justice Abandoned highlights six decisions that made mass incarceration possible. These rulings have been crucial to the rise in pretrial detention and coercive plea bargaining. They have blessed disproportionate sentencing and overcrowded prisons. And they have sanctioned innumerable police stops and widespread racial discrimination. If the Court were committed to protecting constitutional rights, none of these cases would have been decided as they were. Rachel Barkow offers a roadmap for change, showing that the originalist methodology adopted by the majority of the current Court demands overturning the unconstitutional policies underlying mass incarceration. If the justices genuinely believe in upholding the Constitution, then they have little choice but to reverse the wrongly decided precedents that have failed so many Americans.

How the Supreme Court Ignored the Constitution and Enabled Mass Incarceration

A NEW YORKER BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Thrilling, meticulous and wondrously original' PHILIPPE SANDS A jaw-dropping microhistory of the global economy over the last fifty years told through the many lives of a single ship. At 94 meters long and 9,500 deadweight tonnes, once called the Bibby Resolution, is an unremarkable hulk, crossing the oceans unnoticed. And yet, the astonishing journey of this boat can tell us the story of the modern world. First built as a Swedish offshore oil rig in the 1970s, it went on to become a barracks for British soldiers in the Falklands War in the 1980s, a jail off New York in the 1990s, a prison in Portland in the 2000s, and accommodation for Nigerian oil workers off the coast of Africa in the 2010s. It has been called Safe Esperia, HMP The Weare, even 'The Love Boat'. In each of its lives this empty vessel has been commanded by economic forces much larger than itself: private investment, war, mass incarceration, imperial interests, national sovereignty, inflation, booms, busts and greed. Through its encounters with a world of island tax havens, the English court system, exploited labour forces, free banking zones or immigration politics, the ordinary boat at the heart of this story reveals our complex modern economy to us, connecting the dots of a dramatically changing world in the making, and warning us of its dangerous consequences.

“Excellent scholarship that is at once thorough and accessible. This volume painstakingly connects the justification for and the implementation of reparations across the various facets of life, from housing to education and health.”—Rhonda V. Sharpe, founder and President of the Women’s Institute for Science, Equity, and Race “A magnificent achievement and a sterling work of interdisciplinary scholarship, grounded in the assumption that readers share fundamental values of fairness and equity that transcend time, place, and political affiliation.”—Paul Ortiz, author of&nbsp;An African American and Latinx History of the United States"The must-read&nbsp;works assembled by Darity, Mullen, and Hubbard illuminate the insidious consequences of white supremacy that are manifest throughout our country's history and permeate our society today. This handbook sets forth the compelling need for a comprehensive program of black reparations&nbsp;and is an indispensable guide for navigating ground-game complexities to achieve social equity and justice for all."—Susan H. Kamei, author of&nbsp;When Can We Go Back to America? Voices of Japanese American Incarceration during World War II "How do you put a price on the atrocity of slavery, generations of stolen labor, and centuries of lost freedom? Shutting down critics who dismiss any dollar amount as 'just a check,' Darity and his colleagues deftly show how reparations would be powerfully transformative for Black Americans and lay the foundation for a racially just, equitable society."—Jennifer Lee, Julian Clarence Levi Professor of Social Sciences, Columbia University

A Handbook for Racial Justice

The Black Reparations Project

What justice requires when people change but their sentences stay the same. America loves a second chance story. Yet people convicted of serious crimes are seldom given one. Years after taking responsibility and working to repair harm, many remain behind bars even though their continued incarceration does little to keep us safer and carries tremendous human and financial costs.In Bending the Bars, Jessica S. Henry makes the case against endless punishment that leaves no room for redemption. Grounding her analysis of law and policy in the lived experiences of people directly affected by extreme sentences, Henry shows how accountability, public safety, and second chances can coexist within a framework that recognizes human dignity and the capacity for change.Urgent and compelling, this book challenges us to rethink who deserves a second chance, who gets to decide, and what justice demands beyond defining a person by the worst thing they have ever done.
