Seekers of a Stable Sky
Hiding under the heavily reinforced U.S.-Mexico borderline is a gentle counter power led by women who have been wounded, crossed the border illegally, fought for their families, and endured social and economic exploitation. In Seekers of a Stable Sky, award-winning author and border researcher Elaine Hampton guides us into Mexican women's worlds where we meet their families, visit their homes, and examine their struggles. For several years, Minerva, a young teenager, slipped across the border doing odd jobs and asking for handouts to feed her ill parents and her three younger siblings. Elvia and Linabel left their comfortable homes to live in a severely stressed desert neighborhood, learn from its residents, and help build the counseling and education center that transformed hundreds of families. In every story, suffering gave birth to altruism. These are accounts of our global neighbors managing stressful environments and creating unique community collaborations that bring stability under their restless sky. The Mexicans who contributed to the book provide authentic insight into the often-misrepresented immigrant narrative. Through their stories, we enter the world of the immigration seeker and learn more of the impact of Trump-era immigration policies in the borderland.

Active Pursuit of Pregnancy
What is ninkatsu? Who promotes and governs this "active pursuit of pregnancy?" Trying to answer these questions, this unprecedented publication exhibits how mass media, policymakers, and biomedical science-corporate capitalism govern the individual's reproductive choices in contemporary Japan through gendered discourses of self-improvement, life planning, and biomedical technology. Analyzing a broad range of media, popular science, and government material, it links historical and social processes with an original theoretical framework on self-governance, neoliberalism, and postfeminism. While deeply engaging with Japanese sources, this rich scholarship takes the study of reproductive politics beyond Japan. This book is not only of interest for Japanese studies scholars but more broadly also those curious about neoliberal government strategies, gender, and biomedical capitalism.

He helps you heal yourself and then, using what you have learned helps you heal your family. Finally, Bradshaw extends this idea to our society: by returning yourself and your family to emotional health, you can heal the world in which you live.
