<\/a>By Paul Raphaelson \u201990<\/b>\nBrooklyn\u2019s Domino Sugar Refinery, once the largest in the world, shut down in 2004 after a long struggle. Most New Yorkers know it only as an icon on the landscape, multiplied on T-shirts and skateboard graphics. Raphaelson, known internationally for his formally intricate urban landscape photographs, was given access to photograph the refinery weeks before its demolition. He then met with former Domino workers to hear the refinery\u2019s more personal stories. Says Raphaelson, \u201cIn a sense, I found myself looking at a long-gone version of the country, through a recently gone company and community, through a soon-to-be gone labyrinth of architecture and machines.\u201d The resulting book, nominated for a Liebenstraus award, is a blend of art, document, industrial history, and Brooklyn visual culture.

By Megan Sound \u201902<\/b>
\nLike many Korean adoptees of the 1980s, Sound was brought up in an era when American parents were led to believe that the best way to raise their babies was to take a color-blind approach. However, Sound writes, the denial of a child\u2019s ethnicity neglects a significant part of their identity. This collection of 11 essays by Sound shows how she, as a transracial adoptee, navigates from the margins to the middle, from \u201cI am not\u201d to \u201cI am,\u201d and sheds light on race, gender, and identity in the process. Published by Megan Sound, 2018.<\/p>\nRunning Wild: Anthology of Stories (Vol. 2)<\/h2>\n
Gretchen Lockwood \u201982<\/b>, contributing author<\/p>\n
This diverse collection features more than 20 short works by authors from across North America, in genres including speculative fiction, mystery, women\u2019s fiction, horror, science fiction, and fantasy. Lockwood, writing as Gemma L. Brook, contributes two pieces of flash fiction which touch on fantasy, magical realism, and speculative fiction. Edited by Lisa Diane Kastner, the objective of the anthology is to give voice to the eclectic imaginations of authors whose work transcends the rules of typical genre fiction, including tinkering with forms and cross-pollinating genres. The anthology is designed to free the reader from typical \u201cin-the-box\u201d novel formats, providing a literary experience in a more urgent, concise, and diverse framework.

Shifting Boundaries: Immigrant Youth Negotiating National, State,\u00a0 <\/span>and Small-Town Politics<\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sites.coloradocollege.edu\/bulletin\/files\/2018\/11\/CC-BUL-Winter18-37-BookSilver-695x1024.jpg\")
By Alexis M. Silver\u00a0\u201900<\/b>
\nAs politicians debate how to address the estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants residing in the U.S., undocumented youth await the next policy shift that will determine their futures. Silver, associate professor of sociology at Purchase College, State University of New York, examines the experiences of immigrant youth growing up in a small town in North Carolina \u2014 a state that experienced unprecedented growth in its Latino population in the 1990s and 2000s, and where aggressive anti-immigration policies have been enforced. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth interview data, Silver finds contradictory policies at the national, state, and local levels that create a complex environment through which the youth must navigate.

<\/a>By Henry Kamerling \u201989<\/b>
\nKamerling, a professor of history at Seattle University for the past decade, compares prison systems in Illinois and South Carolina in the post-Civil War era, examining the way that the politics of race and ethnicity worked alongside class and capital\u00a0to shape punishment in the late 19th century. He argues that although punishment was racially inflected both during Reconstruction and after, shared, nonracial factors defined both states\u2019 penal systems throughout this period. The similarities in the lived experiences of inmates in both states suggest that the focus on the racial aspects of Southern punishment has shielded an examination of important underlying factors that prove just as central in shaping the realities of crime and punishment throughout the U.S. Published by the University of Virginia Press, 2017.<\/p>\n9 Steps to Artistic Freedom<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/a>By Scottie Jones \u201975<\/b>
\nJones lived a typical suburban, professional life in Phoenix until her husband had a near-fatal car accident. Seeking a simpler way of life, they bought a peaceful-looking sheep farm in Oregon; however, the road to pastoral bliss was anything but simple. Told with self-deprecating humor, the book illuminates the entrepreneurial spirit small-scale farmers need to succeed. Jones ultimately opens Leaping Lamb Farm as a farm stay, where people can vacation and experience farming hands-on. Today she is executive director of the U.S. Farm Stay Association, a network of farmers whose website has had more than five million views. The book will re-release in spring 2019 with a foreword by renowned farmer-author Joel Salatin. Published by Skyhorse Publishing, 2017.<\/p>\nThe Sound<\/h2>\n

\nMason\u2019s book is a collection of new and selected poems, whose title is a \u201clocation, my place of origin and womb of words, but it is also an aspiration and aural guide,\u201d he says.

I hope you can hear it, too,\u201d he writes in an author\u2019s note. Seeking a representation of the range of his work over the decades, Mason has gathered his best shorter pieces of the past 40 years, although he also does make room to include \u201cThe Country I Remember,\u201d his first full-length narrative poem.
