In Lumbee Pipelines David Shane Lowry (Lumbee) examines the historical and modern paths, or “pipelines,” through which members of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina maintain Lumbee national identity, community practices, and tribal sovereignty.

Pioneers and their schools have long had a mutually beneficial bond. This symbiosis was eloquently articulated by a Duke University resident, Broadbent, at the dedication ceremony for the Samuel DuBose Cook Center for Social Equity: "You have led a remarkable life and we are today annexing your name to the fame of this school.

In Brilliant Imperfection, Eli Clare uses memoir, history, and critical analysis to explore cure—the deeply held belief that body-minds considered broken need to be fixed. Cure serves many purposes. It saves lives, manipulates lives, and prioritizes some lives over others. It provides comfort, makes profits, justifies violence, and promises resolution to body-mind loss. Clare grapples with this knot of contradictions, maintaining that neither an anti-cure politics nor a pro-cure worldview can account for the messy, complex relationships we have with our body-minds.

Ten years later came the memorandum that proved the warning right. Back to Willowbrook is the record of how America taught itself to see disabled people as citizens, and of how fast that teaching is being unlearned.
