In order to save her family’s farm, Roshen, sixteen, must leave her rural home to work in a factory in the south of China. There she finds arduous and degrading conditions and contempt for her minority (Uyghur) background. Sustained by her bond with other Uyghur girls, Roshen is resolved to endure all to help her family and ultimately her people. A workplace survival story, this gritty, poignant account focuses on a courageous teen and illuminates the value—and cost—of freedom.

With a combination of song lyrics and reflective essays, Alabama author Frye Gaillard and recording artist Kathryn Scheldt pay tribute to the literary legacy of Alabama songwriters. Included here are reflections on the works of Hank Williams, Emmylou Harris, and W. C. Handy, among many others. Scheldt and Gaillard share Emmylou's view that the Americana music coming out of Alabama has been "the literature of the people." In addition to writing about this tradition, these two authors are part of it. In these pages and on an accompanying CD are songs co-written by Scheldt and Gaillard.

The proximity of the East L.A. barrio to Hollywood is as close as a short drive on the 101 freeway, but the cultural divide is enormous. Born to Mexican-born and American-naturalized parents, Alicia Armendariz migrated a few miles west to participate in the free-range birth of the 1970s punk movement. Alicia adopted the punk name Alice Bag, and became lead singer for The Bags, early punk visionaries who starred in Penelope Spheeris' documentary The Decline of Western Civilization. Here is a life of many crossed boundaries, from East L.A.'s musica ranchera to Hollywood's punk rock; from a violent male-dominated family to female-dominated transgressive rock bands. Alice's feminist sympathies can be understood by the name of her satiric all-girl early Goth band Castration Squad. Violence Girl takes us from a violent upbringing to an aggressive punk sensibility; this time a difficult coming-of-age memoir culminates with a satisfying conclusion, complete with a happy marriage and children. Nearly a hundred excellent photographs energize the text in remarkable ways. Alice Bag's work and influence can be seen this year in the traveling Smithsonian exhibition "American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music."

In the West Indies, women are expected to be strong. Some of them are the cornerstone of numerous single-parent families, and they do their best, for better or for worse, to raise their children. The passivity of women underscores their collective sense of worth, and this plague is passed from mother to daughter and beyond. In the islands, women are raised to accept their roles as second-class citizens, to be used and manipulated. So when Cesselee, a teenage mother, rises up to challenge this expectation and avenge her rape, her misogynistic culture fights back. Angered by what she considers to be injustice, she follows the dubious advice of her childhood friend, Little Johnny, who loses his life in a fire while trying to save a homeless drifter. Cesselee is imprisoned after she sets her tormentor's dental office on fire. Now, her rapist remains free, basically unpunished for his acts as she is dealt a harsh sentence for hers. In a series of letters to her lover, Cesselee shares her deepest thoughts, cherished memories of her childhood, and her hopes for the future. In prison, Cesselee finds strength in the plight of the women she meets. Yet despite the friendship of a female prison guard, Roberta, and fellow inmate Vicky; the support of her mother, Mary; and a marriage proposal from Warden Moore, the experience proves too much for the gentle beauty.
