[like Michelle] Alexander'sThe New Jim Crow." 'Los Angeles Review of Books "Susan Burton is a national treasure ... her life story is testimony to the human capacity for resilience and recovery ... [Becoming Ms. Burton is] a stunning memoir." 'Nicholas Kristof, in The New York Times Winner of the prestigious NAACP Image Award, a uniquely American story of trauma, incarceration, and "the breathtaking resilience of the human spirit" (Michelle Alexander) Widely hailed as a stunning memoir, Becoming Ms. Burton is the remarkable life story of the renowned activist Susan Burton. In this "stirring and moving tour-de-force" (John Legend), Susan Burton movingly recounts her own journey through the criminal justice system and her transformation into a life of advocacy. After a childhood of immense pain, poverty, and abuse in Los Angeles, the tragic loss of her son led her into addiction, which in turn led to arrests and incarceration. During the War on Drugs, Burton was arrested and would cycle in and out of prison for more than fifteen years. When, by chance, she finally received treatment, her political awakening began and she became a powerful advocate for "a more humane justice system guided by compassion and dignity" (Booklist, starred review). Her award-winning organization, A New Way of Life, has transformed the lives of more than one thousand formerly incarcerated women and is an international model for a less punitive and more effective approach to rehabilitation and reentry. Winner of an NAACP Image Award and named a "Best Book of 2017" by the Chicago Public Library, here is an unforgettable book about "the breathtaking resilience of the human spirit" (Michelle Alexander). 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed May 29, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Burton, Susan|c(Founder of A New Way of Life (Organization))|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2017070866 650 0 African American women social reformers|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94003436|zUnited States |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 |vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001237 650 0 Women ex-convicts|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh92002664|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n78095330-781|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Women prisoners|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010118879|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Abused women|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2007100494|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Women drug addicts|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2007003407|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 7 African American women social reformers.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799525 650 7 Women ex-convicts.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1177649 650 7 Women prisoners.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1178398 650 7 Abused women.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/794870 650 7 Women drug addicts.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1742943 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 Lynn, Cari,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n00010748|eauthor. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2145006|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
