Don Mitchell Knihy

Exploring the complexities of memory and truth, the memoir intertwines personal experiences with the chilling 1969 murder of Jane Britton, a Harvard graduate and friend of the author, who found himself a suspect in the case. Mitchell delves into Hawaiian culture's concept of shibai, or gaslighting, as he reflects on his life, including his youth on the Big Island and interactions with diverse cultures. Through his journey, he examines how facts can distort perceptions and the enduring power of love and connection across time and cultures.

Offers, in a sustained argument, a theory of the social and economic logic behind the historical development, evolution, and especially the persistence of homelessness in the contemporary American city. Don Mitchell explores the conditions that produce and sustain homelessness and how its persistence relates to the way capital works.
