Cornell University Press The Open Door
Book SynopsisThe Wajorese people were one of many groups that spread across Indonesian during the early modern era. In the wake of the Makassar War (16661669), the Dutch took control of Makassar on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi and used it to consolidate their power in the region. Because the Wajorese had sided with the war''s losers, they were treated very harshly and many opted to emigrate. They scattered far and wide across the Southeast Asian archipelago, settling in eastern Kalimantan, western Sumatra, the Straits of Malacca, and the Sulawesian port city of Makassar. Wellen reconstructs the fascinating and little-told story of the Wajorese diaspora. Wajorese migrants exhibited remarkable versatility in adapting to local conditions in the areas where they settled. They perpetuated their own culture overseas while simultaneously using various assimilation strategies such as intermarriage to thrive in their adopted homelands. Relations between Wajorese migrants and their homelTrade ReviewKathryn Wellen's book is an important contribution to the study of early Indonesian history, and is likely to catch the interest even of people not specialized in the field.... It is based on a variety of sources and shows how history can be enriched by anthropological perspectives. * HumaNetten *

Temple University Press,U.S. Shades of Black
Book SynopsisExplodes the myth that self-hatred is the dominant theme in Black identity. This book, using a thorough review of social scientific literature on Negro identity conducted between 1936 and 1967, demonstrates that important themes of mental health and adaptive strength have been frequently overlooked by scholars, both Black and White.Trade Review"There is not a comparable book that pulls together all of the literature on race attitudes as Cross has done. This is an excellent book; it should be widely read."—Harriette McAdoo, Howard University"In his book, Mr. Cross presents the results of his close re-reading of the original data from the literature on black identity from 1939 to 1967. Almost without exception, he says, the scholars involved committed two significant errors: They drew conclusions about adult identity from the results of research among preschool-aged children. In addition, they used measures that assessed social attitudes—views about racial identity—but interpreted their findings as if they had also measured elements of personality, such as self-esteem and self-hatred."—The Chronicle of Higher Education"A major contribution to the scholarship on Black psychological identity....

MP-WLU Wilfrid Laurier Uni No Insignificant Part The Rhodesia Native
Book SynopsisProvides the first history of the only primarily African military unit from Zimbabwe to fight in the First World War. The RNR participated in some of the key engagements of the German East Africa campaign's later phase. This book takes a new look at an old campaign and will appeal to scholars of African or military history.Trade Review``Authored by a respected historian of Africa, this well written and accessible book will be rewarding for anybody with an interest in World War One. In less than two hundred pages Stapleton successfully restores to history the forgotten (if not consciously ignored) record of African soldiers who served in the Rhodesia Native Regiment (RNR) in East Africa between 1916 and 1918.... Driven by genuine interest and concern, Stapleton has written an excellent jargon-free monograph. He has done the memory of the soldiers of the RNR an immeasurable service and it is to be hoped that his work will serve as an incentive to others.'' -- Jan-Bart Gewald, African Studies Centre, University of Leiden, The Netherlands -- Journal of Military History, Vol. 73, No. 1, January 2009, 200902``Stapleton has made the most of the fragmented sources to rescue the Rhodesia Native Regiment from undeserved neglect in the scholarly literature on Africa in the First World War. His account not only painstakingly reconstructs the RNR's operations in the East Africa campaign but in the process throws a searching light on the nature of the racist Southern Rhodesian state that recruited the RNR, and empathetically probes what military service meant for the African soldiers themselves. This book contributes significantly to our understanding of the nature of the Great War in Africa.'' -- John Laband, Wilfrid Laurier University, author of The Transvaal Rebellion:The First Boer War 1880-1881 -- 200603Table of Contents No Insignificant Part: The Rhodesia Native Regiment and the East Africa Campaign of the First World War by Timothy J.

Ohio University Special Publications Soulful Bobcats
Book SynopsisDuring the 1950s, a group of ambitious young African Americans enrolled at Ohio University, a predominantly white school in Athens, Ohio. Years later, eighteen of them decided to share their stories, recalling the joys and challenges of living on a white campus before the civil rights era.Trade Review“Soulful Bobcats… is a valuable, highly readable collection of oral histories from African-American students during the postwar years…. (It) should be on every Bobcat’s shelf. Indeed, it should be of interest to all who care about the history of African Americans in higher education.” * Ohio Today *“Soulful Bobcats makes clear that while OU was making progress against institutional racism in the years after World War II, it still had a long road to travel…. While it's clear that being treated as second-class citizens or worse was infuriating and demeaning, the Soulful Bobcats' memories are sometimes funny, sometimes rueful, and relentlessly upbeat. They patiently fielded questions from curious white classmates about what it's like to be black, and took insults from professors as a spur to do even better in class. Most of all, they relied on each other.” * The Athens News *“Thank you for Soulful Bobcats. Like found treasure, it captures a valuable glimpse into the decade of black Bobcats who set the stage for my own generation's adventures in Athens. As I thumb through its pages I am constantly reminded of how much we stood on their shoulders in order to get to where we are now.”

The Wall sparked a nationwide mural movement, provided a platform for community engagement, and was a foundational work of the Black Arts Movement. There is no longer any physical indication of its existence, but it still needs to be remembered. Fleeting Monuments for the Wall of Respect argues against making a monument of it, or of other historically significant events, in the formal language of grandness and permanence. Instead, Romi Crawford proposes the concept of “fleeting monuments,” asking a range of artists and writers to realize antiheroic, nonstatic, and impermanent strategies for commemoration

John Wiley & Sons Inc Diversity and Cultural Competence in Health Care
Book SynopsisMajor changes are occurring in the United States population and the nation''s health care institutions and delivery systems. Significant disparities in health status exist across population groups. But the health care enterprise, with all its integrated and disparate parts, has been slow to respond. Written by three nationally known scholars and experts, Diversity and Cultural Competence in Health Care: A Systems Approach is designed to provide health care students and professionals with a clear understanding of foundations, philosophies, and processes that strengthen diversity management, inclusion, and culturally competent care delivery. Focusing on current practice and health care policy, including the recently passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA), this textbook integrates strategic diversity management, self-reflective leadership, and the personal change process with culturally and linguistically appropriate care into a cohesive systems-oriented approach for health care professionals. The essentials of cultural competence and diversity management covered in this text will be helpful to a wide variety of students because they encompass principles and practices that can be realistically incorporated into the ongoing work of any health care field or organization.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd A Companion to African American Literature
Book SynopsisA Companion to African American Literature presents a comprehensive overview of the field from the eighteenth century to the present day. Embracing the full range of African American literature, essays explore forms, themes, genres, historical contexts, and major authors, and present the latest critical approaches.Trade ReviewA master archivist and historian of African American literature, Gene Jarrett has assembled a compelling new collection of essays for this necessary addition to the study of African American writing and thought. The volume offers a comprehensive survey of the African American canon, but also goes in new directions, giving fresh emphasis to the earliest writing of African Americans as well as to the exciting field of Latino/-a writing in the African Diaspora. This is a field-defining collection.”—Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Harvard University “A Companion to African American Literature is a pathbreaking collection that will revolutionize the study of African American literature and literary culture. Written by leading established and emerging scholars in the field, the essays both provide a comprehensive overview of African American literary trends and preoccupations and challenge our conventional understanding of racial and national identities, literary genres, and intertextual influences. Accessible yet scholarly, this volume will be of enormous value to scholars, students, and general readers.”—Valerie Smith, Princeton University “Presenting a comprehensive overview of the field from the 20th cen-tury to the present, A Companion to African American Literature, ed. Gene Andrew Jarrett (Wiley-Blackwell), provides readers with a fairly comprehensive overview of one of America’s richest literary traditions.” (American Literary Scholarship, 2012)Table of ContentsNotes on Contributors viii Introduction 1 Gene Andrew Jarrett Part I.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Handbook of Race Ethnicity Crime and Justice
Book SynopsisThis Handbook presents current and future studies on the changing dynamics of the role of immigrants and the impact of immigration, across the United States and industrialized and developing nations. It covers the changing dynamics of race, ethnicity, and immigration, and discusses how it all contributes to variations in crime, policing, and the overall justice system. Through acknowledging that some groups, especially people of color, are disproportionately influenced more than others in the case of criminal justice reactions, the War on Drugs, and hate crimes; this Handbook introduces the importance of studying race and crime so as to better understand it. It does so by recommending that researchers concentrate on ethnic diversity in a national and international context in order to broaden their demographic and expand their understanding of how to attain global change. Featuring contributions from top experts in the field, The Handbook of Race and Crime is presented in five sectionsATable of ContentsNotes on Contributors ix Introduction: Past, Present, and Future 1Meghan E.
