From Disgrace to Dignity: Redemption in the Life of Willie Rico Johnson examines the life of Rico Johnson who became the head of the Conservative Vice Lords, one of the largest street gangs in the United States. In addition to highlighting his life, this work considers how redemption has affected his life. In addition, Minister Rico is identified as a Godfather. Much like the Godfathers found in organized crime families, Rico sees himself as providing a positive force to Vice Lords' gang members. On one hand, what this involves is taking care of their needs (he feeds 150 families a day) and, on the other hand, providing guidance and direction for members' lives.

From Disgrace to Dignity is Part One of the autobiography of Rev. Reggie Longcrier. "I grew up on the street corners of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The pool halls were my classrooms. My textbooks were pimps, pool sharks, con men, card sharks, bank robbers, drug dealers, and a variety of misdemeanor street hustlers. I learned fast, and rated high marks in the morals and values of the criminal subculture.Between the ages of eleven and nineteen, I had paid dues in several reformatories throughout the state of New Jersey, serving from nine to eighteen months a stretch. Before turning twenty one, I was on my way to the Trenton State prison in New Jersey to serve a six year sentence for armed robbery. After serving four years and nine months between Trenton, Rahway and Leesburg State prisons; having honed and cultivated my skills to become a bonafide player, I was ready to make my claim to fame in the so-called world of hustlers. In 1980, I was nominated and celebrated at Atlantic City''s infamous Club Harlem, among pimps, hustlers, and people of the night, as "King of the Nightlife." This was the most prestigious and coveted awards given each year to hustlers who supposedly made their claim to fame. By now, the drugs and nightlife had already taken its toll. I was on my way down. For years, I had used heroin and cocaine intravenously until the veins in my arms and legs had literally collapsed. I snorted heroin and cocaine until I had bored a hole in my nose, and could stick a Q-tip through one end and out the other. I ended up doing at least four stints at Riker''s Island, not to mention the aliases I had served time under. Then I found myself spending time in jails of New Orleans, Atlanta, Virginia and North Carolina. As one member of the parole board in New Jersey had stated, "I''d been on a rollercoaster ride and traveled one long and rocky road." But thanks be to God, the ride stopped when I came to the crossroads of my life faced with a fourteen year to life sentence for the Habitual Felon Act in the state of North Carolina. I was over 500 miles from home, and all my bridges burned behind me, no friends, no more money, no hope and without God. My life passed before me in a panoramic vision; the people I had hurt, the jails, detention homes, reformatories, and prisons I had served time in, and the drugs I had used-all vanity and vexation. Then I asked God to come into my life and make something of the mess I had made of it. I asked the Lord to help me to change, and give me another chance to make up for the years I has wasted serving the adversary. I asked him to help me live right. I promised him that if he did that for me, I would give Him back a man after his own heart, one he could be proud of, a man of whom He could say, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." It has been over twenty years now since the Lord answered that prayer. From Disgrace to Dignity is the story of how a wretch like me now holds the keys to one of the prisons where I was once an inmate." Catawba Correctional Center for eighteen years, pastor of Exodus Missionary Outreach Church for nine years, and Executive Director of Exodus Homes for eight years. I live in Hickory with my wife Audrey and my daughter Adrienne. God gave me a vision to for the "Exodus Movement" which is leading people out of bondage into a new way of life where they can go from disgrace to dignity. The Exodus Movement begins inside the walls of the prison, leading inmates into a knowledge of God''s power and love through a relationship with His son, Jesus Christ. We encourage inmates to participate in a wide variety of prison ministry activities and bring them out to worship with us at Exodus Church with the help of approved volunteers. Inmates are able to join our church while they are still incarcerated and be a part of the Exodus Church family. Soon we will have a religious services building on the grounds of Catawba Correctional Center where worship services, classes, and special prison ministry events can be held. When an inmate is released from prison, they can come to Exodus Homes to get back on their feet and successfully reenter society . In our Post Incarceration Aftercare Program, we can help them abide by the conditions of their probation and parole and learn a new way to live. Many find a new life in Christ as I have done.

This book addresses the cross-cultural variations in the conceptions of face and facework from a multidisciplinary communication perspective. Facework represents one of the most important theoretical concepts available to us in contemporary communication literature as it encompasses a dynamic network of cross-cultural, social cognitive, affective, interpersonal, interactional, and identity issues. The book serves a dual purpose: to raise issues and to extend some of the current ideas in face and facework research in the cross-cultural and interpersonal communication settings, and to illuminate some specific directions for future research into the face and facework management process. Face and facework are presented in conjunction with phenomena such as politeness, request interaction, embarrassment, conflict, business negotiation, and international diplomacy.

Human dignity insists that every human deserves respect and a safe place to live. For many, this is not a reality. The essays collected here analyze the background of this problem in contemporary family life and society at large, with special emphasis on the role of women and on the Bible as a source of inspiration and transformation. The collection is the product of a six-year conversation on family, violence, and human dignity between the Protestant Theological University in Kampen, The Netherlands, and the Faculty of Theology at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, a North-South dialogue that included annual conferences, a series of responsive letters, and additional external responses. The contributors are Cheryl B. Anderson, Hendrik Bosman, Gerrit Brand, Athalya Brenner, L. Juliana Claassens, Dorothea Erbele-Küster, Leo J. Koffeman, Frits de Lange, Monica Jyotsna Melanchthon, Magda Misset-van de Weg, Beverly Eileen Mitchell, Anne-Claire Mulder, Ian Nell, Mary-Anne Plaatjies-van Huffel, Jeremy Punt, Petruschka Schaafsma, D.

Over the past fifty years, debates about human rights have assumed an increasingly prominent place in postcolonial literature and theory. Writers from Salman Rushdie to Nawal El Saadawi have used the novel to explore both the possibilities and challenges of enacting and protecting human rights, particularly in the Global South. In Fictions of Dignity, Elizabeth S. Anker shows how the dual enabling fictions of human dignity and bodily integrity contribute to an anxiety about the body that helps to explain many of the contemporary and historical failures of human rights, revealing why and how lives are excluded from human rights protections along the lines of race, gender, class, disability, and species membership. In the process, Anker examines the vital work performed by a particular kind of narrative imagination in fostering respect for human rights. Drawing on phenomenology, Anker suggests how an embodied politics of reading might restore a vital fleshiness to the overly abstract, decorporealized subject of liberal rights. Each of the novels Anker examines approaches human rights in terms of limits and paradoxes. Rushdie's Midnight's Children addresses the obstacles to incorporating rights into a formerly colonized nation's legal culture. El Saadawi's Woman at Point Zero takes up controversies over women's freedoms in Islamic society. In Disgrace, J. M. Coetzee considers the disappointments of post-apartheid reconciliation in South Africa. And in The God of Small Things, Arundhati Roy confronts an array of human rights abuses widespread in contemporary India. Each of these literary case studies further demonstrates the relevance of embodiment to both comprehending and redressing the failures of human rights, even while those narratives refuse simplistic ideals or solutions.

An acknowledged expert on the history of modern pharmacology and drug therapy, John Parascandola here brings together 19 of his most important papers on these subjects. The book is divided into three topical sections. In the first group of articles, devoted to pharmacological theory, Dr. Parascandola sheds new light on our understanding of the history of such key pharmacological concepts as receptor theory, structure-activity relationships, and the role of stereochemistry in physiological action. The second section focuses on the discipline of pharmacology and offers insights into the pivotal role played by John J. Abel in the shaping of the field, the development of pharmacology in schools of pharmacy and in the Federal Government, and the national pharmacological society's membership ban on pharmacologists working in industry. The final section on drug therapy discusses various drugs from antibiotics to sulfones, and their use in the treatment of diseases such as leprosy and syphilis.
