Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Public Hostage, Public Ransom: Ending Institutional America by William Bronston, M.D. is a courageous, eye-opening work born from a lifetime of moral conviction and frontline experience. Drawing directly from his years as a young physic…ian inside the notorious Willowbrook State School, Bronston transforms witness into action, and memory into purpose. This is not only a history of institutional abuse, it is a story of personal strength, ethical resistance, and the belief that one committed individual can help ignite systemic change.Bookwrights House is proud to present and champion this defining work by William Bronston, a physician, organizer, and human rights advocate whose life's work bridges medicine, justice, and public policy. From founding the Student Health Organization in the 1960s to organizing health care workers and exposing institutional cruelty, Bronston's journey is inseparable from the creation of this book. Public Hostage, Public Ransom was written not at a distance, but from inside the system by someone who refused to look away when silence was easier.Through unforgettable stories, including the devastating account of a young girl named Lillian, Bronston reveals how institutional America stripped people of identity and dignity, turning lives into commodities. Yet this book is not only about what was broken. It is about what rose in response: parents who organized, advocates who persisted, courts that finally listened, and a vision for care rooted in community, humanity, and justice.For readers who care about civil rights, disability justice, health care reform, or the power of conscience-driven leadership, this book is essential. Available through major online retailers, Public Hostage, Public Ransom is a searing, hopeful call to remember, to reckon and to act.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Public Hostage, Public Ransom: Ending Institutional AmericaThis drama starts with the autobiographical story of William Bronston, an activist physician. His early professional California training steels him with a deep moral, profession…al and cultural bond to the huge 6000 person population of children and adults with disabilities he encounters incarcerated in Willowbrook State School in State Island, NY, on whose behalf he daily battles to humanize and ultimately catalyze a Federal Class Action Lawsuit against the state to close the death-making institution.Prior to the infamous expose' of Willowbrook, no small individualized community living arrangements existed in New York state where warehousing the 'different' population was imposed on stricken families. Willowbrook, riven with rampant disease, gruesome sanitation, lack of adequate food, clothing, carloads of tranquilizing medicine and the most minimal care and supervision was the brutal norm. Ultimately, concerned parents, progressive lawyers, child development leaders in the field, local and national media were united to expose and address the bureaucratic evil and ubiquitous violence that dominated the wretched lives inside.This passionate book documents the immense story arc, of the public mobilization, media expose and Federal judicial process Bronston forged to what ultimately becomes the legal conviction of New York for systemic human abuse. Dr. Bronston draws the clear lines that indicts the self serving State bureaucracy and provides the strategic rationale to end the cruel Medicaid system, in order to heal the deep societal wound that the nursing home and assisted living industry, the segregated norm, that imposes our universal commoditized and paradigmatic terminus. These victims are the 'Public Hostages' who now, by ageing, become society's elders consigned, again, to profit driven, segregated and congregate institutional lives, funded by Medicaid's billions, America's 'Public Ransom'. Thus, an artificially created domestic refugee population, torn from every community and devastating America's families has become an accepted paradigm that Dr. Bronston's narrative intimately charts and passionately describes replacing Medicaid with universal, expanded and improved Medicare for all, single payer health care, as the policy solution and ultimate antidote to this crime against humanity we numbly tolerate.___________________________________________The shocking horrors of Willowbrook State School have been exposed and will never be forgotten. In Doctor William Bronston's defining book, Public Hostage Public Ransom: Ending Institutional America, he takes on all of America's institutions, the segregated nursing home industry, that have not learned the lesson of the tragedy of Willowbrook. His muckraking efforts remind one of a latter-day Lincoln Steffens, Ida Tarbell, or Jacob Riis. His book is a scathing reminder of all we still have to do to build a sympathetic and just world for the many who are unable to find it for themselves.Jonathan Sanger Film Producer 'The Elephant Man'.
