Information Age Publishing No Country for Black Men
Book SynopsisNo Country For Black Men captures the plight and possibilities of what it means to be Black and male in the United States past and present. Through storytelling and sociological data analysis, the author weaves a powerful story about challenges and opportunities faced by Black males of all ages today. From mental health parity to disproportionality and myths about Black male sexuality, this body of work is bent on naming the persistent and historical challenges Black men are confronted with throughout their development. Each chapter is anchored in and punctuated by the author's personal experiences as an immigrant, a father, a husband and a scholar-practitioner. The mission of No Country For Black Men is to add to the scholarship and conversation among educators, mental health providers, religious leaders, and other service providers about ways to improve the academic, economic and health outcome for Black males in the United States.

Oxford University Press The Kindness of God
Book SynopsisFathers, sons, brothers, kings. Does the predominantly masculine symbolism of the Biblical writings exclude women or overlook the riches of their spiritual life? If Christ is ''the second Adam'' and the one on whom all Christian life must be patterned, then what about Eve? This book from a leading scholar of religious language and feminism opens up the Bible''s imagery for sex, gender, and kinship and does so by discussing its place in the central teachings of Christian theology: the doctrine of God and spirituality, Imago Dei and anthropology, Creation, Christology and the Cross, the Trinity, and eschatology.Trade ReviewWhen I began to read The Kindness of God, I could scarcely put it down... The book maintains a marvelous tone. Its manner is kind. It belabors nothing... The tone constructs both the author and the readeras people with interests, who care, who seek to understand something without heat. Everywhere there prevails a light touch. A light touch is such a rare thing... Soskice's scholarly voice is nearly unique. She shares with Thomas Aquinas the virtue of arguing with ideas, while leaving her opponents unnamed... The Kindness of God treats the... fraught topic of God and gender with a range, delight, and finesse that no one else, as far as I can think, could manage. * Eugene F. Rogers Jr., Modern Theology *[A] stimulating book of essays * Anne Thurston, Doctrine & Life *[A] wonderful book... this is an enlightening piece of erudite research. It is a worthy book for the scholar and the general public interested in the search for appropriate metaphors that can link us into the reality of God. * Thomas G. Grenham, Milltown Studies *Janet Martin Soskice's new book brings together material published since 1991 together with a substantial new piece and a short coda to the whole book... Her realism always draws the reader away from the flights of abstract fancy to the facts of women's lives as a starting point for theology. * Gerald Hegarty, Expository Times *...[An] important collection of essays... * Paul Richardson Church of England Newspaper *Here is a woman powerfully challenging the patriarchal tradition of her Church and doing it ... by careful scholarly exploration of its faith and spirituality... * Peter Cornwell, Times Literary Supplement *Soskice throws off many provocative insights [such as] in a splendid chapter on friendship [in which] she traces the notion from Aristotle through to CS Lewis. * Fergus Kerr, The Tablet *Table of ContentsIntroduction ; 1.

OUP Oxford Stressed Sex
Book SynopsisEvery day millions of people struggle with psychological and emotional problems. The Stressed Sex sets out to answer a simple, but crucial, question: are rates of psychological disorder different for men and women? The implications - for individuals and society alike - are far-reaching, and to date, this important issue has been largely ignored in all the debates raging about gender differences. Now Daniel Freeman and Jason Freeman present a ground-breaking combination of epidemiological analysis and evidence-based science to get to the bottom of what''s really going on. They discover which mental health problems are more common in men, and which are seen most often in women. And, in a finding that is sure to provoke lively debate, they reveal that, in any given year, women experience higher rates of psychological disorder than men. Why might this be the case? The Stressed Sex explains current scientific thinking on the possible reasons - and considers what might be done to address theTable of ContentsPREFACE; REFERENCES

Oxford University Press Gender and Empire
Book SynopsisFocusing the perspectives of gender scholarship on the study of empire, this is an original volume full of fascinating insights about the conduct of men as well as women. Bringing together disparate fields - politics, medicine, sexuality, childhood, religion, migration, and many more topics - this collection of essays demonstrates the richness of studying empire through the lens of gender. This is a more inclusive look at empire, which asks not only why the empire was dominated by men, but how that domination affected the conduct of imperial politics. The fresh, new interpretations of the British Empire offered here, will interest readers across a wide range, demonstrating the vitality of this innovative approach and the new historical questions it raises.Trade ReviewReview from previous edition Clarity of expression and historical specificity are keynotes of this volume in the Oxford History of the British Empire Companion series. * THES *The book's strength is that, while the multifarious centrality of gender is shown beyond contention, there are few pages that do not provoke debate. * THES *Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Welcoming LGBT Residents
Book SynopsisWelcoming LGBT Residents is the first comprehensive guide to working with LGBT older adults in senior living settings. The LGBT older adult population represents one of the fastest-growing subpopulations within our aging society. Despite the increasing demand for LGBT-affirming services there is an absence of training books for care providers. This dual-purpose text is appropriate for training and as a guide to answer questions that may come up during daily tasks. It is based on the most recent research and includes stories and testimonials from LGBT older adults and providers in the field. Chapters include: LGBT-inclusive intake and conversations; Gender identity and expression; Memory care and LGBT people; Navigating family dynamics; Addressing conflict between residents; Staff opinTrade Review"Tim Johnston's book is a timely, grounded, and most importantly useful guide for how to make our services more open to LGBT seniors. It can serve as a reference text for leadership staff and also an accessible educational tool for students and staff. I would encourage anyone working with older adults, not only those working in senior living, to take a look and see what they can learn." — Paula Basta, Director of the Illinois Department of Aging and Former Chair of the LGBT Aging Issues Network of the American Society on Aging. "For far too long, LGBT older people have encountered bias, stigma, and discrimination across the senior living environment. In response to this profound problem, Tim Johnston has written a comprehensive and accessible resource for the entire eldercare workforce—one that acknowledges that many LGBT older people live at the intersection of multiple identities, and they, as much as anyone, deserve to have a place they can call ‘home.’" — Robert Espinoza, Vice President of Policy, PHI "Combining current research, best practices, and his own experiences training providers across the country, Dr. Johnston has created a road map for providers of services and supports to create safe and affirming environments where LGBTQ older adults can thrive. This comprehensive text is a valuable guide and resource for any provider looking to make their organization a place where older adults, their families and staff can be who they are, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity." — Kevin Bradley, Associate Director of Online Learning, LeadingAge "With an extensive background in advocacy and training, the author has significant experience and working knowledge of the needs of older LGBT adults. The history of LGBT people includes discrimination, criminality, being considered deviant or mentally ill and subjected to inappropriate medical "therapies". This coupled with the dearth of research into the needs of older LGBT adults makes this publication most welcome. Raising awareness of the uniqueness of each person and alerting care providers to the fact that LGBT people are not a homogenous group can only be a positive contributor to the provision of ‘safer and more inclusive spaces." — Patricia MacGabhann BNS (Hons) HDip Gerontology MSc Science MHSc Specialist Nursing (National University of Ireland, Galway) Clinical and Operational Director, Nightingale Nursing Home. "This book presents significant insights into creating inclusive environments for older LGBT people. It will also enable professionals to respond appropriately to challenging situations in residential care homes." — Dr Ralf Lottmann, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the University of Surrey, UK (Research Project: ‘Ageing & Diversity: LGBT* Housing and Long-term Care’).
