SUMMARY:Exhibition:Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life
DESCRIPTION:The new Ford Presidential Library lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014). The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Another Country
DESCRIPTION:The scenes in Another Country emerge from daily images of conflict and uprising. Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Detroit\, Michigan.

DESCRIPTION:Combining historical research and analysis from the students in Sarah Rovang’s “The Curated Campus” graduate seminar and the design output of Steven Mankouche’s “What If” Options Studio\, Persistent Pasts reflects on the University of Michigan’s campus as a repository of memory. As UM celebrates its Bicentennial year\, this exhibition asks how past traditions\, tensions\, and technologies have left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By laying bare rarely examined aspects of the historical university alongside radical designs for an unrealized present\, Persistent Pasts asks us to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be\, architecturally and institutionally. This exhibition is supported in part by a Bicentennial Activity Grant\, co-authored by Claire Zimmerman and Sarah Rovang. \n\nThis exhibition will be on view in the Taubman College Gallery through May 19. The college gallery is open Monday - Friday\, 9am - 5pm. \n\nThere will be an presentation and panel on Friday\, April 7 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by a reception in the college gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Here and There
DESCRIPTION:\"Here and There\"  looks at the problems of extreme poverty\, and includes artist Tracey Snelling's signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks.\" New works--created on campus during her three-week residency--will examine these issues in the US\, how they relate to location and\, at times\, the disenfranchisement of large groups of people for the sake of big business\, political clout\, and power. \n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nTo meet artist Tracey Snelling evokes the sensation of a strong willed breeze determined to open a backyard door. \n\nAs an artist and person\, she is down to earth\, direct\, contemporary\, and moving through it all with volition. \n\nSnelling’s artistic practice originally focused on photography as a medium\, but soon evolved to include her construction of sculptures based upon cities and towns\, strip malls and urban housing. \n\nShe refers to her three dimensional work as sculptural rather than diorama or model making because she isn’t particularly interested in the exact rendering of location\, or the contextualization of place. Instead\, she taps into the energy of community and its humanness—restless\, frenetic\, din\, a choir\, extending beyond the confines of walls. \n\nSnelling’s representations are neither judgmental nor opportunistic. They unaffectedly and objectively offer a multidimensional sketch of a place in time\, how we occupy space. \n\nHer signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks\" (included in this exhibition along with new work created during her her residency here) pushes up against the challenges of economic inequalities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence expressed through Snelling’s exuberant palette\, bold graphics\, video and neon. \n\nConceptually\, Snelling’s stacking method first creates an exalted “big picture” with a myriad of colors\, image\, text\, sound and light. The counterpoint in scale soon immerses the viewer into each small world. With this shift\, the onlooker becomes the active participant\, the occupant in situ\, adding the trappings of their own experiences to each tableau. It is this shift that forces the viewer into a new way of seeing from varying perspectives.\n\nOn the one hand\, the artist’s sculptures allude to our desire for refuge\, a private domain that allows us to be ourselves. On the other\, the overall composition reaffirms it is imperative that we co-exist with one another respectfully\, forge relationships\, understanding our marked differences. It is diversity—the unique and often disparate combination of things\, the cacophony of it all\, that activates communities and public space.\n\nSnelling’s constructions literally build a way out\, one on top of another\, charged with the undercurrent of the way we live. They emphasize our universal longing to find a place called home\, and be accepted\, built on the foundation of one and of many. \n–Amanda Krugliak\, Arts Curator\, Institute for the Humanities\n\nAbout Tracey Snelling:\nThrough the use of sculpture\, photography\, video\, and large-scale installation\, Tracey Snelling gives her impression of a place\, its people and their experience. Often\, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays out behind windows in the buildings\, sometimes creating a sense of mystery\, other times stressing the mundane. Snelling’s work derives from voyeurism\, film noir\, and geographical and architectural location. Within this idea of location\, themes develop that transport observation into the realm of storytelling\, with reality and sociological study being the focus. Snelling had exhibited in international galleries\, museums and institutions\, including the The Royal Museum of Fine Arts\, Belgium\; Palazzo Reale\, Milan\; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\; Kunstmuseen Krefeld Germany\; El Museo de Arte de Banco de la Republica\, Bogota\; the Stenersen Museet\, Oslo\, and the Sundance Film Festival. Her short films have screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival\, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival\, Circuito Off in Venice\, Italy\, and the Arquiteturas Film Festival Lisboa in Portugal. She also received a 2015 Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant. Snelling lives and works in Oakland\, California and Berlin\, Germany.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chicana Fotos: Nancy De Los Santos
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: Friday\, February 17 - April 14\, 2017\nOpening Reception: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 from 4 - 7 pm\, featuring a performance by Ballet Folklórico De Detroit at 6 pm.\nGallery Talk by Nancy De Los Santos and exhibition curator Maria Cotera: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 at 12 pm\, Walter P. Reuther Library Woodcock Conference Room\nWalter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University\n5401 Cass Ave\, Detroit\, MI 48202\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago by Mexican-American parents\, Nancy De Los Santos is an accomplished filmmaker and proud “Chicana from Chicago” who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining the image of Latina/os in the mainstream media. Among her most celebrated works are as Co-Writer and Co-Producer of The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latin Image in Hollywood Cinema\, with Susan Racho and Alberto Dominguez\, and as Associate Producer on the feature film Selena.\n\nIn Chicana Fotos\, an exhibit of evocative photographs taken in the 1970s\, we meet a very different Nancy: a woman armed with a camera\, capturing historic events in the struggles for social justice of the time. Nancy’s photographs of Chicano Movement marches and rallies\, farmworker mobilizations in Chicago and Texas\, and Latina organizing in the Midwest and internationally offer a priceless documentary view of Latina/o politics in the 1970s. Her more intimate pictures of everyday Latina/o life capture what it was like to live through a period of radical social transformation. The exhibit includes rare photographs of UFW organizing activities in Chicago\, the Texas Farmworker Pilgrimage of 1977\, and the first ever International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City in 1975. These images are supplemented by never before exhibited documents from the Walter P. Reuther UFW Collection.\n\nChicana Fotos was curated by University of Michigan professor Maria Cotera (with assistance from Pau Nava) and designed by students and faculty of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design. Stamps School faculty Hannah Smotrich and Katie Rubin co-taught the collaborative\, interdisciplinary Exhibition Design class with students Ian Crowley\, Rachel Dawson\, Emilie Farrugia\, Kelsi Franzino\, Andrew Han\, Jack Hyland\, Maggie Lemak\, Megan Lewin-Smith\, Katie Mongoven\, Olivia Moore\, Pau Nava\, and Sarah Wolf.\n\nChicana Fotos is a collaboration between the El Museo del Norte\, the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Archive\, the Stamps School of Art & Design and the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University.\n\nThe Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University is the largest labor archive in North America. In addition to internationally significant collections on the history of the North American labor movement\, the Reuther Library holds the official records of Wayne State University\, as well as extensive records documenting urban affairs\, civic life\, civil rights\, ethnic and religious organizations\, and community development across Southeast Michigan.\n\nChicana Fotos was made possible through the generous financial support of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative and the Stamps School of Art & Design. Gallery talk sponsored by the Center for Latina/o and Latin American Studies\, Wayne State University\, and the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GOIN’ NORTH: BLACK DETROIT  AND THE  GREAT MIGRATION\,  1910-1930
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nExhibit of photographs and documents produced by the Michigan Historical Collections in Commemoration of Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day at the University of Michigan\, published 1991.\nBLACK DETROIT AND THE GREAT MIGRATION\n\nSince Norf is up\,\nAn’ Souf is down\,\nAn’ Hebben is up\,\nI’m upward boun’.*\nThey came to Detroit by the thousands from Georgia\, Alabama\, Tennessee\, South Caroline and they stayed. They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse\, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse\, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\, Mark Tansey\, and Mickalene Thomas\, among others\, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology
DESCRIPTION:Enhancers are small regulatory pieces of DNA that control the activity of genes\, which eventually determine cellular fates during the development of multicellular organisms. They need to measure the concentrations of various input effector molecules\, called transcription factors\, and then act over often very long distances along the DNA in order to activate a distantly located gene. In this talk I will present my laboratory's progress on two fundamental physical properties of these enhancers: 1. How do enhancers operate at long distances to instruct gene activity? 2. How do enhancers decode the information of the input transcription factors and then transduce it into a precise output?  We use a combination of genome editing\, live imaging and statistical mechanics techniques to address these questions in the developing fly embryo. Speaker(s): Thomas Gregor (Princeton University)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Women's Studies Department Honors Thesis Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Reception to follow.\n\nKiri Alvarado\nListening to Medieval Voices: Women\, Religion\, and Healing in the Paston and Lisle Letters\n\nThe voices of medieval women are difficult to recover because of the lack of sources written by them. The few letter collections that survive offer one glimpse of the experiences of elite women. In this thesis\, I argue that these letter collections show us that women connected healthcare with their religious beliefs\, and women were responsible for using both to protect and maintain their families. By using the Paston family letters of the fifteenth century and the Lisle family letters of the sixteenth\, I examine how female letter writers discussed health\, responded to sickness and death\, provided advice\, and created community around health and religion. I show that medieval women were responsible for caring for their families medically and women’s medical care was as much a familial affair as it was a community one. Childbirth particularly drew women together as they supported each other during labor\, and afterwards. Lastly\, this thesis examines how religion was indispensable to medieval understanding of health\, and medieval women interacted with religion to further fulfill their roles as caretakers.  Thesis advisor: Katherine French.\n\nE Karin Cadoux\nAnimating Injury: Trauma Rite as Personal Exhibition and Public Exposition\nWeaving genres of social theory\, art critique\, poetry\, and performance\, \n\nThis thesis explores E Karin Cadoux’s 2016 public performance work Trauma Rite in order to investigate lived survivorship and challenge the architecture of public affect. Trauma Rite was an eight hour endurance piece in which Cadoux discloses their identity as a survivor of rape\, attempts to clean their body\, and scrubs their skin raw\, repeatedly performing a trauma cycle of recognition\, redemption\, and relapse. Audience culture was recorded through documentation of the intersection of North University and State St\, in Ann Arbor\, MI\, between the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM\, and an online forum that passersby could anonymously interact with\, logging their responses to Trauma Rite. Cadoux writes on internal and external impacts of giving voice to the survivor body in the public\, through their own performance and impactful performed works on gendered violence and psychic injury by other artists. In sections surrounding their address to the audience\, audience complicity\, and onlooker space-making\, Cadoux posits that performance surrounding sexual violence has the capacity to undermine frameworks of public immobility and survivor isolation\, unveiling compassionate counterpublics and commons.  Thesis advisor: Candace Moore.\n \nKatrina Hamann \nCatholic on the Margins: Faith\, Ambivalence\, and LGBQ Community in a West Michigan Lambda Catholics Group\n\nDespite the Catholic Church’s condemnation of “homosexual acts” as “gravely immoral\,” a definite presence of advocacy groups focuses specifically on the affirmation of Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual\, and Transgender (LGBT) Catholics. One such group is the Lambda Catholics chapter located in Kalamazoo\, Michigan. Lambda has been instrumental in creating a positive and affirming environment for LGBTQ Catholics since the early 1990s. Inspired by my own coming out experience and my relationship with the Catholicism in which I was raised\, this thesis considers the role faith has played in the lives of non-heterosexual Catholic women. Four women\, all of whom have a connection to Kalamazoo Lambda Catholics or the parish in which it is located\, were interviewed about their experiences growing up in the Catholic faith\, its influence (or lack thereof) on their understandings of their sexualities\, and their current relationships with the faith. For further perspective I also interviewed a Catholic priest who supports Lambda’s mission. The women and the priest all articulated concerns with the Church’s discriminatory attitude towards sexuality and women. In addition\, a common theme emerged within each woman’s story that indicated a refusal to adhere to the institutional expectations espoused by the Church. Although the women identified themselves as definitively Catholic\, they interpreted the faith in a way that allowed them to both embrace and question Catholicism.  Thesis advisor: Dean Hubbs.\n\nAnouk Versavel\nEmpowerment in Revolutionary Contexts: Women’s Experiences in Poland and Nicaragua\n\nHow do women who become lifelong political activists understand their empowerment in the context of revolution? Through qualitative analyses of interviews from the Global Feminisms Project sites in Poland and Nicaragua\, I identified various paths to empowerment in the context of revolutionary social change. I used the lenses of intergroup conflict\, violence\, and feminism to critically examine two movements aimed at social change\, while highlighting the connections between empowerment theory and practice\, as well as between feminism and social movement theory. Using grounded theory coding of the life narratives of women who participated in Poland’s non-violent Solidarity movement and in Nicaragua’s violent Sandinista movement\, I found that common themes (education\, belief in a cause\, law\, leadership\, literature\, political networks\, disempowering experiences\, and role models) emerged in women’s accounts of their empowerment and in turn shape their perspective on and commitment to social change. Some of these structures and experiences were described as sources of empowerment and some as results of empowerment. Most importantly\, for each woman there were dynamic connections between them that defined pathways they followed as they changed the power relations in their own lives\, and worked for broader changes in their communities and countries. Thesis advisor: Abby Stewart.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): The impact of social networks on charitable giving
DESCRIPTION:\"The impact of social networks on charitable giving\"\n\nAbstract\nPrevious research demonstrates the impact of the behavior of others in one’s social network on a variety of individual decisions\, including vaccination decisions (Rao\, Mobius and Rosenblat 2007)\, consumer purchasing (Mobius\, Niehaus\, Rosenblat 2011)\, investment decisions (Duflo and Saez\, 2002\, 2003)\, and government aid (Bertrand and Luttmer 2000). This paper identifies the impact of social networks on charitable giving. A series of surveys find a correlation between the number of an individual’s friends and family who listen to a public radio station and an individual’s contribution\, but no effect of the absolute size of one’s social network. A field experiment randomly assigns perceived size of listening network\, and thus establishes causal evidence for the correlational relationship.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Complex Analysis\, Dynamics and Geometry
DESCRIPTION:A strongly convex (or \"strongly C-convex\") real hypersurface in C^n (or in complex projective space) inherits both the standard CR structure and a secondary \"projective dual\" structure.  Thus our hypersurface comes equipped with two spaces of CR functions and the question arises as to how they interact.\n\nThis talk will go over two types of results on this general topic.  (Some of the results to be discussed are from recent work with Dusty Grundmeier.) Speaker(s): David Barrett (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:Extremal transition is a certain kind of contract-deform surgery\, which plays a key role in the classification of Calabi-Yau 3-folds. The study of how Gromov-Witten invariants change under this surgery\, pioneered by A. Li and Y. Ruan\, has been a long-standing goal in mirror symmetry. In this talk\, I will present a local model of cubic extremal transition and then propose a new correspondence in terms of quantum D-module. We will show that the quantum D-module of one side may be recovered\, up to gauge equivalence and analytic continuation\, as a limit of the quantum D-module of the other side when restricted to certain monodromy invariant subspace. The first hour will be devoted to background and a historical account of this problem. In the second hour\, I will explain some ideas involved in the proof. This is a report on my work in progress.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. The Seductions of Quantification: The Politics of Measuring Human Rights and Gender Violence
DESCRIPTION:An intense preoccupation with numbers is sweeping the worlds of international and domestic governance\, based on the idea that political decisions must be made on the basis of objective quantitative data. Using examples from the measurement of gender violence and human rights compliance\, this talk argues that despite the value of quantitative data and indicators\, they are produced within particular political contexts and cultural frameworks and categories. Indicators promise to provide objective information as the basis for governance\, but my ethnographic examination of the production and use of indicators shows that they should be understood as political and cultural artifacts as well.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tony Lewis\, author of \"Slugg\"\, speaks in the RC
DESCRIPTION:\"Slugg: A Boy's Life in the Age of Mass Incarceration\" is a blueprint for survival and a demonstration of the power of love\, sacrifice\, and service. The son of a Kingpin and the prince of a close-knit crime family\, Tony Lewis Jr.'s life took a dramatic turn after his father's arrest in 1989. Washington D.C. stood as the murder capital of the country and Lewis was cast into the heart of the struggle\, from a life of stability and riches to one of chaos and poverty. How does one make it in America\, battling the breakdown of families\, the plague of premature death and the hopelessness of being reviled\, isolated\, and forgotten? Tony Lewis' astonishing journey answers these questions and offers\, for the first time\, a close look at the familial residue of America's historic program of mass incarceration.
