The true life story of a gunslinging, gambling moonshiner is recounted in this “cheerful, wild…rollicking biography” by the outlaw’s own nephew (Forward Reviews). Born to a Texas sharecropping family in 1904, Emmett Long soon fell in love with fast engines and fast living. An associate of legendary outlaws like Pretty Boy Floyd and Frank Nash, Emmett rose from poverty to infamy as a prodigious gambler, moonshiner, bank robber, and—on occasion—a killer of men. But he was not your average outlaw. From an early age, Emmett made his own rules—and he stuck to them, too. Instead of dying young in a blaze of guns and fury, he found Christianity, married a good woman, raised a family, and lived to a ripe age as a successful rancher. In a new twist to the classic Great Depression outlaw narrative, Asa Dunnington shares the life story of his uncle in Selectively Lawless.

Liberalizing Lynching: Building a New Racialized State seeks to explain the seemingly paradoxical relationship between the American liberal regime and the illiberal act of lynching. Daniel Kato argues that the federal government had the power to intervene in lynching cases, yet chose not to act. The book presents the new theory of consitutional anarchy to further develop the ways in which the federal government relinquished its responsibility to act in cases of lynching and racial violence while nonetheless maintaining authority.

Writing on the subject of religion in this century with advanced scientific and technological developments, religion still influences the world. This is an individual search for answers to console myself about what or who God is, and expresses personal feelings and limited knowledge at that time thinking that I was pleasing God. The book does not define God or religion but rather a personal one because each individual finds their Creator differently. As with previous writings, my audience is an innocent village child who has no knowledge of the surrounding and what controls the environment. The book starts with my early religious training followed by the different religious sects. I tried to find God and to be endowed with certain gifts. It will be a good thing as you read this book to find that each creature of God whether created or evolved, we all have gifts to be selected.
