  • The Jailer's Reckoning: Mass Incarceration in America

    The Jailer's Reckoning: Mass Incarceration in America
    Nov 19 2024
    The United States incarcerates more people than any other industrial democracy in the world. Why is this the state of America, and what are the social, economic, and political costs? Today's guest is Kevin B. Smith, author of The Hailer's Reckoning: How Mass Incarceration is Damaging America. He will share in-depth perspectives from his research, from inmates' treatment to the overall damage to the country. In this landmark book, Kevin B. Smith explains that the United States became the world’s biggest jailer because politicians wanted to do something about a very real problem with violent crime. That effort was accelerated by a variety of partisan and socio-demographic trends that started to significantly reshape the political environment in the 1980s and 1990s. How did serving time behind bars become a normalized social experience, affecting a majority of Americans directly or indirectly? Join us for this candid, revelatory discussion on the realities of incarceration in America.

  • The Greensboro Massacre: Contested History & Truth in Narrative

    The Greensboro Massacre: Contested History & Truth in Narrative
    Nov 12 2024
    What does it mean to tell the truth in America? How can truth be discovered through missing narratives and overlooked history? Whose narratives are accounted for and not, who is held accountable, in the face of foundational racial injustice and violence in the US? Today we will be in conversation with Aran Shetterly, author of Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre and the Struggle for an American City's Soul (Amistad, October 2024). Morningside delves deeply into the event and its immediate aftermath, delivering an intimate account of an overlooked chapter in American history and showing why the Greensboro Massacre is such an important and relevant case study in proximity to our present. Tune in live for this in-depth look at the legacy of the Greensboro Massacre, the Civil Rights to Human Rights movements, and what this means now.

  • Encore The Lives of Women without Children in Their Own Words

    Encore The Lives of Women without Children in Their Own Words
    Nov 5 2024
    On this US Election Day, November 5, 2024, New Legacy Radio has chosen to honor the voices of women without children. We also celebrate the North American release of Others Like Me: The Lives of Women without Children, written by author Nicole Louie. The book is available today in Canada and the United States and is published by House of Anansi. Others Like Me was published by Dialogue Books in hardback, eBook, and audio in all English-speaking countries except North America, on June 13, 2024. Others Like Me is the story of fourteen women around the world. The women are from different backgrounds and experiences and do not have children. It's also Nicole's story of why she had to find them, and what they taught her. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in which people find fulfillment outside of parenthood. And because the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, Nicole focuses solely on them, their experiences, and how they flourish outside of motherhood. In doing so, she upends the stereotypes that diminish women who are not mothers and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known. This book is a must-read that will resonate with those who have had similar experiences and raise the awareness of anyone wanting to understand the real-world impact of pronatalist bias. This deeply personal exploration of childless and childfree women is also a celebration of women’s lives. The Irish Times selected Others Like Me as one of the nonfiction books to look out for in 2024 and the Stylist Magazine named it one of the best books about women without children. Today we celebrate the continuum of women's experiences of living without children and the beautiful tapestry woven by Nicole Louie, in Others Like Me. *Author Image: Photographer's Credit: © 2023 Amanda Braide
