On July 24, 1964, chaos erupted in Rochester, New York. Strike the Hammer examines the unrest and rebellion by the city's Black community, rampant police brutality that would radically change the trajectory of the Civil Rights movement. After overcoming a violent response by State Police, the fight for justice, in an upstate town rooted in black power movements, was reborn. That resurgence owed much to years of organizing and resistance in the community.

Human Rights in Canada is one of the first sociological studies of human rights in Canada. It explains that human rights are a distinct social practice, and it documents those social conditions that made human rights significant at a particular historical moment.

Again and again, God chooses the side of the oppressed.
