Book SynopsisDiscover how a group of mostly Black parents, working with an energetic principal and dedicated staff, helped build a sought-after, multiracial school in Brooklyn's rapidly gentrifying Bedford-Stuyvesant - a neighbourhood where parents have long been dissatisfied with most of their local public schools.Trade Review“A Brighter Choice masterfully chronicles one woman’s struggle to maintain a school’s mission as a bastion of hope for Black families in the face of gentrification. The story shines new light on the process of neighborhood change and provides hope that we can manage gentrification in a way that benefits us all.” —Lance Freeman, Penn Integrates Knowledge Professor of City and Regional Planning, and Sociology, University of Pennsylvania “For many years, Clara Hemphill has been one of the most astute observers of New York City’s public school system. A Brighter Choice, which is incisively reported and beautifully written, explores the efforts of a Black-majority school in Brooklyn to provide a first-rate education for all its students amid the changes of gentrification and the crisis of COVID. With an emphasis on the crucial role played by parents, Hemphill reverses the usual top-down focus on New York City’s schools, dispels much conventional wisdom, and sympathetically shows that it is possible to reconcile Black empowerment with racial and economic integration in public education. A Brighter Choice provides a new way to think about the promise and challenges of public schools today.” —Peter Eisenstadt, author, Rochdale Village: Robert Moses, 6,000 Families, and New York City's Great Experiment in Integrated Housing and editor, The Encyclopedia of New York State “’Clara Hemphill’s fascinating, stirring book, A Brighter Choice, suggests skilled and empathetic parents can help to create truly integrated schools that provide our best hope for restoring social cohesion and social mobility in America.” —Richard D.

Book SynopsisMalone shines a light on friendship, dating, and sexuality, in both the ideals and the practical experiences of heterosexual students at U. S. evangelical colleges. She examines the struggles they have in balancing their gendered presentations of self, the expectations of their religious campus community, and their desire to find meaningful romantic relationships. Trade Review"Sometimes insider information makes all the difference. Dana Malone does not disappoint in this carefully analytic description of the relationship culture on evangelical Protestant campuses. Malone painstakingly describes the dating—and sometimes mating—rituals that characterize this American subculture.

Book SynopsisFor some in our society, diversity is a threat. Others feel society should be more inclusive, if only out of fairness. But as Johnnetta Cole argues in her new book, embracing diversity and inclusiveness is more than a virtuous ideal; it is essential to a healthy, productive society.Trade ReviewIn Racism in Public Life, Johnnetta Betsch Cole gracefully interweaves her experiences as a child in the segregated South, a professor of anthropology, and a life-long educator to reflect insightfully upon the broad sweep of racism in America. In this era marked by the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and racial turmoil, Cole stresses the opportunities for honest, interracial, "courageous conversations" to confront the systemic inequality "that continues to afflict our nation." This beautifully written volume is an essential guide for these critically important discussions within the academy and our communities. Riveting. Johnnetta Cole challenges all to engage in brave discussions about how race and racism influence education while offering historical context for how we got to where we are. A very timely contribution to our understanding of race, racism, and the ways in which people, particularly college students, and higher education as a societal institution, should be engaged in addressing systemic issues. The book begins some of the difficult conversations the author implores us all to have. Drawing on a lifetime of personal experiences with racism and the transformative power of courageous conversations about race, Dr. Cole issues a compelling call to action. This book is, at once, a deeply personal story, an engaging history lesson, and a hopeful guide, offering practical advice for anyone who believes in the power of education to build a better future." —Laura L. Lott, President & CEO, American Alliance of Museums

Book SynopsisSelected as a Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2021Offers a twin biography of Thomas Jefferson in retirement and of the University of Virginia in its earliest years. Andrew O'Shaughnessy reveals how Jefferson's vision anticipated the modern university and profoundly influenced the development of American higher education.Trade ReviewA great contribution to the literature both on Jefferson and on the University of Virginia. O’Shaughnessy challenges recent scholarship on Jefferson and the history of the university’s founding and explicates Jefferson’s thinking and plans for the university, the commonwealth of Virginia, and the nation." - Annette Gordon-Reed, Harvard University, author of The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family"As a living monument to the efficacy of reason and to the pursuit of justice in a fallen world, Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia is an essential American institution. In this landmark and illuminating work, Andrew O'Shaughnessy is a wonderful guide into the world of Jefferson's thoughts and deeds on the question of education—an undertaking the author of the Declaration of Independence knew to be vital for the creation and the preservation of democracy itself." - Jon Meacham, author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power"In this well-researched and skillfully crafted history of the University of Virginia, O’Shaughnessy explores the origins of Jefferson’s ideals for the university and gives us a fresh and important way of understanding them. Jefferson, a visionary man of the Enlightenment and lover of books, created the library and chose the curriculum for his university. Jefferson the architect designed and supervised the construction of the physical foundations for his Academical Village. Both of these were crucial to the fulfillment of his life-long commitment to an illimitable freedom of the mind." - Barbara Oberg, Princeton University, author of Women in the American Revolution: Gender, Politics, and the Domestic World"It falls to very few individuals personally to conceive and craft a leading university from scratch, from lofty ideals down to the last brick and book. The Illimitable Freedom of the Human Mind: Thomas Jefferson’s Idea of a University vividly describes Thomas Jefferson’s obsessional project for a University of Virginia, and also provides a fresh understanding of the American Enlightenment, its soaring strengths and its ugly flaws. Jefferson himself emerges not just as a benign, twinkling-eyed patriarch, but also as a ruthless and effective political operator. Linking the man, the educational content, the state, the nation and the University in a way never before done, O’Shaughnessy has given us an essential text for understanding post-revolutionary America." - Miles Young, New College, Oxford, author of Ogilvy on Advertising in the Digital Age
