National Catholic Reporter; article discusses the story of Josseline
and plugs book. See below
“After scaling the border wall, Josseline grew sick. Stay here, the
coyote told her, here on the path above the canyon. In a few days, he said,
he would return for her. Some friends did return and found no sign of her.
Two weeks later, Dan Millis, 28, a heroic volunteer from No More Deaths,
found her dead by a small creek hidden at the bottom of the canyon. Her
swollen feet rested in the water. Nearby on a rock sat her shoes. (See the
new book for the full story: The Death of Josseline, by Margaret
Regan, Beacon Press.)”
Beacon is delighted to announce the acquisition of a new book on the rising
cost of America’s gambling obsession by insider and journalist Sam Skolnik.
Over the last few decades, legalized gambling has quietly transformed America.
While thirty years ago, it was legal in just a handful of states, it has now
been legalized in all but two. In 2007, it became a $94 billion industry, boasting
a 70% revenue rise in just 10 years and today is virtually a $100 billion industry.
Skolnik uncovers the predatory behavior of the industry, how it effectively
targets particular groups including Asian Americans, the young, and retirees.
He details the struggles of politicians desperate not to raise taxes, community
activists trying to fight gambling’s push into their states, and gambling
purveyors, from blackjack dealers to mega-casino moguls. He also introduces
readers to ensnared players—including himself—so caught up in the
chase that they’ve lost their jobs, their families, and sometimes their
freedom. Summer 2011
Beacon is excited to be publishing a new book by veteran organizer Eric
Mann. For decades, Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals has been acknowledged
as the leading text in the field of organizing, but in 21 Qualities of the
Successful Organizer (tentative title) Mann proposes a more fundamental
and long-term challenge while articulating pragmatically what is required in
the often mystified and rarely explained on-the-ground practice of an organizer.
Here Mann distills the lessons learned from his 45 years as an organizer—from
the Congress of Racial Equality and Students for a Democratic Society to the
United Auto Workers and Los Angeles based Strategy Center, where he’s currently
the director—as well as from other movements and leaders within civil rights,
labor, LGBT, economic justice, and environmental movements. An organizing manifesto
for the 21st century, this comprehensive guide will be a must have for the activist’s
tool kit. Summer 2011
