Fordham University Press Teaching While Black A New Voice on Race and
Book SynopsisChronicles the experiences of a black female teaching in public schools in the South Bronx in the era of No Child Left Behind and the Common Core. Addressing “high stakes” that go beyond tests, Teaching While Black examines how and what one must teach poor students of color.Trade Review"Pamela Lewis is a brilliant young writer and teacher. In combining these two loves, Ms. Lewis has brought to the world as authentic urban narrative about life as a teacher in public education as we have ever seen. Her story is far more compelling than many other books written by teachers because Ms. Lewis takes us so vividly through an urban young Black woman's journey from the anticipation of going to college and becoming a teacher. Teaching While Black accomplishes all of this with a purposeful mix of street smarts and intellectual observations that far exceed her years. This is a must read for those who want an insider's view on the real day to day inside the classroom. It is especially useful for those who have either forgotten, or never know what it is like to navigate the rough terrain of public school teaching in the 21st century." -- -Stuart Rhoden Arizona State University "A captivating read. Lewis' real, honest, broad yet thorough approach exposes so much of what must be known about the experiences of teaching in an urban public school setting. Lewis opens a door, not just into her classroom, but into her heart." -- -Adam Goldberg Special Needs educator and Apple Distinguished Educator "I am unaware of any book written in a style that is comparable to Teaching While Black, which focuses on public schools in the Bronx from the perspective of a woman of color on the front lines and in the trenches. Lewis provides educators of color with a better sense of how to advocate for themselves and for the children, parents, and communities they serve." -- -Lori Martin author of Big Box Schools: Race, Education, and the Danger of the Wal-Martization of Public Schools in America "Ms. Lewis, in this must read tome, highlights how all people are not one identity." -The Huffington Post "A powerful read. Lewis offers insight as a practitioner, while stroking her pen with the skill of a poet. Teaching While Black makes the case for culturally-relevant pedagogy and diversity in curriculum. Lewis is the student turned educator who is embedded. She brings you into urban school communities in a way that other writers of education simply cannot." -- -Michael Partis Instructor at CUNY BMCC's Center for Ethnic Studies and Director of Research and Policy at Young Movement Inc.Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: Invisible Woman: A Teacher's Fade to Black Chapter 2: The Honeymoon Song Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Love Don't Live Here Anymore Chapter 4: Chapter 4: I'm Looking for a New Love, Baby Chapter 5: Chapter Five: Caught Out There Chapter 6: Invisible Epilogue

Fordham University Press Salvage Work
Book SynopsisA study of post-1980 US and Caribbean literary responses to legal personhood. Analyzes literature by Francisco Goldman, Edwidge Danticat, Rosario Ferré, Gayl Jones, and John Edgar Wideman, which depict the legal slave as a generative legal category for labor, immigration, and human rights issues into the twenty-first century.Trade Review"Salvage Work is a thoughtful and timely exploration of the historical, ideological, and political significance of legal personhood in very contemporary fiction. Salvage Work is a wonderful incorporation of a deep body of legal history ... moving away from purely 'cultural' definitions and recognizable political trajectories and toward a complicated reading of identity." -- -Samantha Pinto Georgetown University "Salvage Work is a unique and exciting study that engages with a variety of disciplines, including American studies, Caribbean studies, and postcolonial studies. This is a beautifully written book that offers astute, nuanced close readings of the literary works that expose the critical intersections between law, empire, personhood, and literature." -- -April Shemak Sam Houston State University "Angela Naimou's superbly written Salvage Work is one of the smartest responses to Giorgio Agamben's 'death-bound theories of legal personhood.' Rather than take the refugee as the singular figure for theorizing the limits of sovereignty and the subject of law, Naimou studies the disruptions to a liberal rights paradigm through her focus on equally troubling cases of exceptional personhood in the figures of, among others, the slave, the disappeared, the corporation, the sailor, the fugitive, and the fetus. The legal and political insights are all the more powerful because they emerge from meticulous close readings of U.S. and Caribbean fiction, reminding us of just how much the world needs humanities-based and literary thinking if we are to tackle the most important problems of our time in their full weight and complexity." -- -Joseph R.

University of Hawai'i Press Beyond Ethnicity
Book SynopsisWritten by scholars of various disciplines, the essays in this volume dig beneath the veneer of Hawaii's myth as a melting pot paradise to uncover historical and complicated cross-racial dynamics. Race is not the primary paradigm through which Hawaii is understood. Instead, ethnic difference is celebrated as a sign of multicultural globalism that designates Hawaii as the crossroads of the Pacific. Racial inequality is disruptive to the tourist image of the islands. It ruptures the image of tolerance, diversity, and happiness upon which tourism, business, and so many other vested transnational interests in the islands are based. The contributors of this interdisciplinary volume reconsider Hawaii as a model of ethnic and multiracial harmony through the lens of race in their analysis of historical events, group relations and individual experiences, and humor, among other focal points. Beyond Ethnicity examines the dynamics between race, ethnicity, and indigeneity to challenge the primacy

University of Hawai'i Press TransPacific Japanese American Studies
Book SynopsisPresents a unique collection of essays derived from a series of dialogues held in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Los Angeles on the issues of racializations, gender, communities, and the positionalities of scholars involved in Japanese American studies.Trade ReviewThis volume, a first in Japanese American studies, involves US and Japanese scholars discussing positionality, language, insight, and interpretations within the historical context of early immigration and Japanese American incarceration and racialization, as well as initiating conversations on Japanese imperialism and enthonationalism [sic] and its impact in the Japanese American community. Essential. Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies expands the intellectual breadth and depth of Japanese American studies because it deliberately brings together the conversations of scholars in North American and Japan to dismantle the hierarchy within the scholarship in the field. . . . [It] is accessible to those at both undergraduate and graduate levels. For scholars interested in current issues within Japanese American historiography, this is an important book, and it will have a long shelf life. Takezawa and Okihiro make a sustained case that Japanese American studies is best conceptualized in terms of an interactive "trans-Pacific" dynamic rather than simply a transnational, diasporic, or even global, framework. Consequently, because of its innovative ideas, foci, and methodologies, this will become an invaluable, state-of-the-art collection. Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies: Conversations on Race and Racializations is an intellectual feast, and an enormously useful and challenging book. Nineteen scholars—roughly half from Japan and half from the continental United States, Canada, and Hawai‘i—took part in several years of trans-Pacific conversations and meetings. No scholar of Asian American studies can afford to ignore Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies. Many scholars of ethnic studies more broadly will benefit from spending time in the pages of this book. And scholars in all fields would do well to imitate the long-conversation method that went into its making. Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies sits on the cutting edge of research in Japanese American studies. Each section features unique juxtapositions of diverse perspectives, illuminating issues like community making and unmaking, gender and racial politics, and representations and elisions in the scholarly record. The final section on "positionality" is enlightening, exploring the ways in which scholars occasionally encounter prejudice in both Academia and society at large, and are often exposed to eye-opening experiences when crossing national boundaries. An excellent model of international joint research. Although this work is primarily targeted at other scholars and advanced university students within their common transpacific field of inquiry, its well-grounded and illuminating introduction, 14 essays, and 7 perspectival responses to the book’s contents have much to offer a general readership. . . . This book is an important milestone in Japanese American studies and its core message for how the Japanese American community should be studied and represented in the future needs to be heeded.

Ohio University Press Not White Enough Not Black Enough Racial
Book SynopsisThe concept of Colouredness—being neither white nor black—has been pivotal to the brand of racial thinking particular to South African society. The nature of Coloured identity and its heritage of oppression has always been a matter of intense political and ideological contestation.NotTrade Review“Marginality placed severe limitations on possibilities for social and political action. It put the Coloured community at the mercy of a ruling establishment that was generally unsympathetic and that usually acted in prejudicial, and sometimes even malicious, ways.”“The book is one of the few that examines in detail various aspects of Coloured people’s history, including the disconcerting and discomfiting aspects of Coloured identity rarely discussed in other texts.… A well-written and strongly argued book with original, stimulating and thought-provoking ideas.”“Adhikari succeeds in offering one of the most accessible frameworks for organizing the history behind Coloured identity to date. He does so without reducing the complexity that is the sine qua non of this category.”

Ohio University Press Radical Utu Critical Ideas and Ideals of Wangari
Book SynopsisIn Radical Utu: Critical Ideas and Ideals of Wangari Muta Maathai, Wangari Maathai is presented as a scholar whose contributions to gender equality, democratic spaces, economic equity and global governance, and indigenous African languages and knowledges paralleled her renowned environmental activism.Trade Review“In this loving, well-researched, and beautifully written book, Besi Brillian Muhonja brings out the other side of the distinguished environmentalist and Nobel laureate, Wangari Muta Maathai—that of thinker and activist scholar. By focusing on the philosophical and theoretical legacies of Maathai’s work, the book takes us beyond the controversies and headlines to provide a powerful analysis of the philosophical thinking that drove her activism. Radical Utu is a model of how to prioritize African thinkers in the production of global knowledge.”“This is a brilliant articulation of Nobel laureate Wangari Muta Maathai’s philosophy of holistic environmentalism that is unapologetically rooted in radical utu, a philosophy of personhood that drives the rebalancing of power in societies. Muhonja applies the epistemological strategy of critical decolonial thinking to render visible the superb powerful thinker that is Wangari Maathai, who conceptually moved our comprehension of the self to a transgendered place where ecology revivifies humanity only if we, in turn, tend to its healing transformational powers.”

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of Digital Inequality
Book SynopsisThis cutting-edge Handbook offers fresh perspectives on the key topics related to the unequal use of digital technologies. Considering the ways in which technologies are employed, variations in conditions under which people use digital media and differences in their digital skills, it unpacks the implications of digital inequality on life outcomes.Trade Review‘This collection is deeply needed amid the hype of digital equity and inclusion. Not only does it focus attention on areas, topics, and communities that demand greater understanding (the elderly, hardware access, disability, and privacy) but it adds crucial nuance and context to the present public and political conversation on digital equity and inclusion, especially given the IIJA’s digital equity programs. It reminds us that money will not solve these issues without deeper understanding and community-driven approaches. In addition to being a must-read for policy makers, this collection would be welcome in senior undergraduate or graduate courses on digital policy, broadband policy, the digital divide, digital media, health communication, media and disability, and research methods, among many others.’ -- Christopher Ali, International Journal of Communication‘Eszter Hargittai's edited volume, Handbook of Digital Inequality, is an important addition to the communication and technology literature. Digital inequalities are very real and significantly impactful, and this volume shines a bright light on the areas to which we should be giving more attention. Hargittai has compiled a thoughtful collection of chapters that collectively create a robust resource that readers will likely find themselves revisiting frequently for references, data points, and interesting ideas for research directions.’ -- James Jarc, Communication Research Trends‘At the dawn of the Internet age, digital inequality was a central concern. But then a combination of triumphalism (in the developed nations) and spiraling complexity (rapid proliferation of ways to go online and things to do there) led attention to shift away from this topic. As work and schooling moved online during the COVID-19 pandemic, the world rediscovered that inequality in access to digital platforms and resources remains high and is ever more central to social inequality overall. Eszter Hargittai has identified the scholars who have sustained a research focus on digital inequality and have found ways to cast empirical light on such complex issues as the impact of different ways of accessing the Internet and variation in online skills, and has produced a Handbook that will be invaluable to anyone who cares about social inequality – just when we need it the most.’ -- Paul DiMaggio, Princeton University, US‘This is a must-have book for any social scientist concerned with the digital age for, as its multiple authors clearly demonstrate, not only is almost every dimension of our lives now digital, but everything digital is, in one way or another, unequal. The task is to transcend early ideas of the digital divide to develop a complex and contextual understanding of digital inequality that can, potentially, help us to ameliorate or overcome its excesses and adverse consequences.’ -- Sonia Livingstone, LSE, UK and author, Parenting for a Digital Future‘The pandemic highlighted the critical and persistent need for widespread and equitable use of the internet in societies throughout the world. This timely Handbook provides a roadmap forward, with a comprehensive view of leading research, written by an international and stellar set of authors who have shaped the field and continue to innovate with new insights.’ -- Karen Mossberger, Arizona State University, USTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to the Handbook of Digital Inequality 1 Eszter Hargittai PART I INFRASTRUCTURES AND GEOGRAPHIES 2 What’s missing?

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Creating Inclusive and Engaging Online Courses
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Nelson Mandela called education the most powerful weapon to change the world. Today, equitable access to educational opportunities is arguably as important as the quality of the pedagogy itself. As a former Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) coordinator and as a current masters-level online and hybrid professor, I applaud Monica Sanders’ new book, Creating Inclusive and Engaging Online Courses, that is intent on practically and equitably harnessing this weapon in a post-Covid digital learning environment. Highlighting a disabled vulnerable population, this writing directly connects itself to the practice of teaching and distilling what accessible online instruction should be.The Covid-19 pandemic rang an educational bell about the potential of online learning that cannot be unheard. And while a majority of online learners are dissatisfied with their experience, the solution is likely only a few degrees off target and not an overreaction back to exclusive, campus-only learning. In my own teaching experience, having a student from, for example, Kyrgyzstan sitting virtually next to another from Texas or London represents an expansive and inclusive learning opportunity that would not be available if the class was limited by the traditional brick and mortar mechanism where attendance often takes place in higher-income, urban settings.In 1990, the ADA began to redefine what accessibility meant to communities. In the process, greater access was realized for the whole community, not just the disabled population. Today, this book helps us define what accessibility means in online teaching and learning for all students and that the digital product need not represent an inherent sacrifice to any part of the student experience. This book about Inclusive and Engaging Course Design draws upon teaching methods from Socrates to the new standards of digital citizenship that support the step-by-step implementation of their online educational framework. It is with enthusiasm and necessity that I recommend a focused read of this work.’ -- Erik Xavier Wood, Georgetown University, USTable of ContentsContents: Foreword xiii Preface xvii Acknowledgements xxiii 1 Introduction to Creating Inclusive and Engaging Online Courses 1 Monica Sanders PART I COURSE ACCESSIBILITY AND COPYRIGHT 2 Democratizing course access 11 Eileen Young 3 Managing copyright online 23 Raven Lanier PART II THE TEACHING AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE 4 Inclusive course design 36 LiAnne Brown 5 Accessibility tools 57 Monica Sanders 6 Managing pace and workload in online courses 70 Susannah McGowan 7 Apps, tools and assignment ideas for online engagement 86 Monica Sanders 8 Developing and incorporating impactful library research guides for online and hybrid learners 101 Ladislava Khailova Appendix I: Notes and additional resources for inclusive, engaging online course design 118 Appendix II: Copyright checklist 120 Appendix III: ADAA 129 Bibliography 131 Index

John Wiley and Sons Ltd On The Nature of Prejudice
Book SynopsisOn the Nature of Prejudice commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Gordon Allport's classic work on prejudice and discrimination by examining the current state of knowledge in the field. A distinguished collection of international scholars considers Allport's impact on the field, reviews recent developments, and identifies promising directions for future investigation. Organized around Allport''s central themes, this book provides a state-of-the-art, comprehensive view of where the field has been, where it is now, and where it is going.Trade Review"To simultaneously take stock of research on prejudice and mark the 50th anniversary of Gordon Allport's The Nature of Prejudice, a prolific group of 44 authors collaborated to produce a set of reviews that will surely guide the next 50 years of prejudice research. The resulting book, On the Nature of Prejudice: Fifty Years After Allport, reveals such a rich sense of dialogue, cooperation, and thoughtful regard for posterity that it reads like no ordinary academic text. Words like “wide-ranging,” “respectful,” “scholarly,” “comprehensive,” and “truly ground-breaking” came to mind as I read deliberations about why Allport's work remains so influential today, the new insights that have emerged in the field, and potential directions for future investigations." PsycCRITIQUES "This outstanding volume is more than just a well-written and entertaining homage to the work of Gordon Allport, arguably one of the most influential and insightful students of prejudice in the 20th century. In addition, this book has managed to assemble most of the leading scholars in the field and induce them to think clearly and succinctly about our present state of knowledge and to sketch out the several theoretical issues that remain to be clarified by future research. The overall result is a volume that is simply a tour de force and a “must read” for anyone seriously interested in deepening their understanding of the frustratingly complex issues of prejudice and intergroup conflict in the modern world." James Sidanius, UCLA “Even while acknowledging that Gordon Allport continues to dominate the agenda for prejudice research, this volume's contributions reveal many new insights based on the original and wide-ranging research of the authors - often calling for revision of Allport's thinking.” Anthony G. Greenwald, University of Washington “The idea of building an edited volume around Allport’s classic book is brilliant, and the timing could not be better.” Marilynn Brewer, Ohio State University "This book is an impressive addition to the literature in social psychology... certainly an excellent 'one stop-shop' for mainstream social psychology research on prejudice." Kenneth McKenzie, Trinity College, Dublin. Social Psychologyical Review, April 2006 "All in all, there can be no doubt that Gordon Allport laid the foundation for research on prejudice. However, we think the editors and authors of this volume have successfully built on that solid base by adding their own theoretical and empirical layers, ones that further strengthen the field’s knowledge for the future."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Place Exclusion and Mortgage Markets
Book SynopsisUtilizing research from the U.S., Italy, and the Netherlands, Place, Exclusion and Mortgage Markets presents an in depth examination of the practice of redlining and the broader implications of contemporary urban exclusion processes. Covers exclusion in mortgage markets in three different countries - the U.S., Italy, and the Netherlands Presents an interdisciplinary perspective to the practice of redlining Connects the literature on social exclusion and financial exclusion Trade Review“Together, these strengths make Place, Exclusion, and Mortgage Markets an excellent resource for those interested in how housing finance markets contribute to social and spatial exclusion.” (City & Community, 1 June 2013) “Place, Exclusion, and Mortgage Markets significantly advances our understanding of the history and current reality of redlining and its exclusionary processes and consequences. Its comparative analysis is a welcome addition to the literature on financial services. Hopefully, it will lead to more equitable approaches to the development of the world’s metropolitan regions.” (International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, 2012) “Nevertheless, the book provides a valuable account of the literature and makes interesting reading about market behaviour. It will be useful for those interested in the influence of actors on access to homeownership and the development of urban neighbourhoods.” (Housing Studies, 2 August 2012) “This is a timely and forceful book which seeks to bring together aspects of the financial boom and bust and processes of redlining and exclusion in urban housing markets in a number of countries, namely the USA, Italy and the Netherlands.” (International Journal of Housing Policy, 28 May 2012) “By covering the full field of redlining—from abstract socio-spatial theories to concrete cases and a human angle—this books offers an ideal introduction to the topic. At the same time, it considerably expands the state of knowledge on financial exclusion.” (Journal of Housing and the Built Environment, 2012) "The book's key strength is the actor centred focus on markets that reveals the processes by which markets and places are made in ways that would not be explained by classical models of market behaviour. The detailed descriptions of Rotterdam in particular are of great interest, including a photo essay on Tarwewijk, a neighbourhood of Rotterdam, where the decline was said to have been accelerated by redlining in the 1990s. Furthermore, the history and development of redlining, particular in the US, is also of great use to students and scholars alike." (Housing Studies, 2012) "An important book that fills the empirical and theoretical gaps in the literature on the sociology and geography of mortgage markets. The book is a fantastic, empirically rich and theoretically innovative exploration of the historical trajectory of urban disinvestment (redlining) and social exclusion that compares the United States, Italy, and the Netherlands."

Johns Hopkins University Press Wrong Place Wrong Time
Book SynopsisRich's poignant portrait humanizes young black men and illustrates the complexity of a situation that defies easy answers and solutions.Trade ReviewJohn Rich joins the ranks of Rachel Carson, Michael Harrington and Ralph Nader for bringing attention to a pervasive social problem with a fresh perspective and warranted urgency. Publishers Weekly 2009 John Rich was selected for a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship in 2006, and his incisive book demonstrates why. Replete with poignant vignettes, this book unveils his findings. Not surprisingly, he exposes the deep human sensitivity of his subjects. Highly recommended for readers of urban sociology texts such as Nicholas Lemann's The Promised Land: The Great Black Migration and How It Changed America. Library Journal 2009 A remarkable and sensitive account of [the author's] lengthy interviews with boys and young men who were rushed, bloodied and on gurneys, through the doors of the emergency room. Washington Examiner 2009 Those of us who spend time tracking violence and its impact on every aspect of life in urban America-as well as anyone with an ounce of humanity-ought to be thrilled to see a book like Wrong Place, Wrong Time come along. It looks beyond the gunplay, offering a window on urban violence by putting faces with the cold statistics and presenting stories in the victims' own words. -- Colbert I. King Washington Post 2010 Wrong Place, Wrong Time calls us back to the table to see our safety as intimately connected to the safety of the young men we dismiss with cliche even as they become the prime bogeyman of our conscience in urban America. Baltimore City Paper 2010 In his vital new book, Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Rich lets the reader share and differentiate among the harrowing stories of young black men cut down by violence, stories he collected during the term of a five-year, 625,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health. -- Karen R. Long Cleveland Plain Dealer 2009 Rich does not sugarcoat the cycle of violence or portray the African-American men who populate the book as saints. Rich does holds out hope, however slim, that understanding that all human beings have more commonalities than divergences could make a difference. Raleigh News and Observer A concise yet powerful examination of urban violence from the perspectives of those on the receiving end. Philadelphia Inquirer 2010 Powerful... Scholar-practioners like Dr. John Rich are helping find the answers we urgently need to better understand the cycle of violence and save our children from being its next victims. -- Marian Wright Edelman Huffington Post 2010 Written in a style that would make an accomplished novelist proud, the attention to detail is remarkable. Rich takes the reader with him on a voyage of discovery as he interviews each subject. The case studies are punctuated with his honest, insightful and informed reflections as he recounts the real-life experiences of young black men and their search for a way out of their almost impossible lifestyles. The case studies are condensed summaries summaries of the author's involvement with these young men over a period of years. Nursing Standard 2010 Dr. Rich is an excellent writer.

Johns Hopkins University Press Here Lies Jim Crow
Book SynopsisLittle Willie Adams, and Walter Sondheim-who prepared Jim Crow's grave and waited for the nation to deliver the body.Trade ReviewWhile the book elaborates on Maryland's role in the beginning and end of the Jim Crow era, the most compelling aspect of the book is the stories Smith gleaned from dozens of interviews with Marylanders, black and white, who lived with segregation and fought to end its practices. Baltimore Sun Hand it to your students... and make sure their parents read it, too. It's a road map of America's long political struggle from slavery to a black man running for president. -- Michael Olesker Baltimore Examiner It's a darned good book by a darned good writer. Those of you who love fine writing and history can't afford to pass on Here Lies Jim Crow. -- Gregory Kane Baltimore Sun In this case, you can judge a book by its cover... it sets the tone for Smith's spirited discussion of Jim Crow laws and the efforts of Marylanders to resist and overturn them. -- John Lewis Baltimore Magazine By its very nature a moving but difficult and painful read. Painful or not, it is a book that helps one see present-day Maryland with a greater depth of understanding, and is certainly worth whatever discomfort it creates. -- Petula Caesar Baltimore City Paper Tells the story of the long life and hard death of racial segregation in the Free State. -- Ben Miller Bay WeeklyTable of ContentsPrefacePrologue: Laboring Sons: Jim Crow on a Bulldozer1.

Johns Hopkins University Press Protesting Affirmative Action
Book SynopsisIn studying this phenomenon, Deslippe deepens our understanding of American democracy and neoconservatism in the late twentieth century and shows how the liberals' often contradictory positions of the 1960s and 1970s reflect the conflicted views about affirmative action many Americans still hold today.Trade ReviewA welcome examination of affirmative action opposition in the often-overlooked period before Bakke. Choice Deslippe's treatment of labor's resistance in particular is balanced, detailed, and nuanced, and he includes an excellent chapter on the precursor of Bakke, DeFunis v. Odegaard (1974)... A valuable discussion that clearly adds to the scholarship on this crucial subject. -- Kevin Yuill Journal of American History Ambitious and timely... The detail Deslippe provides in the creation of a 'reverse populism' that, in effect, made past discrimination into a union principle, is very powerful. -- Bill Barry Labor Studies Journal It is difficult to think of a more timely historical topic: persistent ambivalence about affirmative action again collides with an economic downturn as an increasingly conservative Supreme Court considers landmark cases that may resolve some legal questions but are unlikely to end the almost half-century-old moral and political debate. -- Serena Mayeri Journal of American Studies The detail Deslippe provides in the creation of a "reverse populism" that, in effect, made past discrimination into a union principle, is very powerful. -- Bill Barry Labor Studies Journal In uncovering the murky and complex pre-history of contemporary affirmative action debates, Deslippe shows how changing social and economic circumstances shaped diverse understandings of the meaning of race, sex, opportunity, and disadvantage. -- Katherine Turk American StudiesTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsList of Acronyms and InitialismsIntroduction1.

Johns Hopkins University Press Renegade Amish
Book SynopsisBuilt on Kraybill's deep knowledge of Amish life and his contacts within many Amish communities, Renegade Amish highlights one of the strangest and most publicized sagas in contemporary Amish history.Trade ReviewRenegade Amish... provides an insider's perspective into how a small community of Amish people, nurtured in a religious tradition of nonviolence and forgiveness, transformed into a culture of revenge and retaliation. Publishers Weekly For the dimwitted habitues of comments threads, it was the news item that launched a thousand lame puns. But the case of the Bergholz Barbers is funny only as long as it remains a sound bite. Donald B. Kraybill's new book, Renegade Amish: Beard Cutting, Hate Crimes and the Trial of the Bergholz Barbers, digs deep into a story that, for all its seeming quaintness, has the power to both rock the underpinnings of hate crime legislation and to break the human heart. -- Laura Miller Salon Kraybill tells this fascinating story clearly, and has the knowledge and contacts to penetrate a tight-lipped community. -- Damiam Whitworth The Times The apparent dissonance in these opening narratives and the peculiar nature of Amish acting violently to shear helpless victims sets the scene for Kraybill's fascinating exploration of the Bergholz Amish... The case has taken on new significance as the court system works to decide how people will be prosecuted under the Shepherd Byrd act and how broadly hate crimes can be defined. -- Melanie Springer Mock Mennonite World Review An acknowledged expert on Amish life and culture, [Kraybill] explains the religious and social background of the people involved and successfully explains the legal tangle that has not yet completely played out. Journal of Church and State This book will be of interest to those who study the intersection of law and religion or the sociology of closed groups like the Amish Journal of Church and State [Renegade Amish] is a thorough, evenhanded, and accessible volume that provides keen insight on Amish culture. Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies ... Renegade Amish captures a fascinating chapter of legal history and Amish history... That is a tale begging to be told, and Kraybill proves worthy of the task. The Mennonite Quarterly Review Whether you want to learn more about the Amish in general, the Bergholz Amish in particular, are interested in the formation and maintenance of NRMs, interactions between religious groups and the law, or just want to read an informative book that is exceedingly well researched and written, balanced and engaging, Renegade Amish is most definitely worth reading.

Book SynopsisThe world Thomas conjures up in this groundbreaking new study is one in which successful remedies to racial wrongs remain to be imagined.Trade ReviewThomas's stated intention is to connect literature to the broad sweep of history rather than provide unified analyses of single literary works or authors.

Book SynopsisWritten in vigorous prose for a wide audience and designed to inform popular debate on the relevance of the Civil War to the racial politics of modern America, Civil War Memories is required reading for informed Americans today.Trade ReviewThe book is full of interesting anecdotes that illustrate the many skirmishes between the competing narratives—History News NetworkCook's work has the advantage of covering the entirety of post-Civil War history, making his the most comprehensive entry in this scholarly debate . . . His consistent attention to electoral politics across time sets his work apart from that of many other authors and makes the book well worth reading.—Annals of IowaCivil War Memories offers a comprehensive treatment of the memory of the nation's most enduring and contested event. In offering a study of Civil War memory since 1865, Cook underscores that memories of the war have never been monolithic. They have always been debated, politicized, and maligned. His attention to the war's differing memories in the modern era reminds us how the Civil War continues to resonate within our own "mystic chords of memory."—Jennifer M. Murray, University of Virginia's College at Wise, Journal of Southern HistoryIn Civil War Memories: Contesting the Past in the United States since 1865, Robert J. Cook outlines the fight over the memory of the Civil War since Appomattox. It is a tightly argued work that blends adept synthesis with primary source research, and Cook offers an absorbing study of the Civil War's long memory and, implicitly, a meditation on the ways in which various entities "marshal the past so powerfully in the service of the present."—Bonnie Laughlin-Schultz, Eastern Illinois University, American Historical ReviewTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionPart I1.

Johns Hopkins University Press Renegade Amish
Book SynopsisHow a series of violent Amish-on-Amish attacks shattered the peace of a peace-loving people and led to a new interpretation of the federal hate crime law. On the night of September 6, 2011, terror called at the Amish home of the Millers. Answering a late-night knock from what appeared to be an Amish neighbor, Mrs. Miller opened the door to her five estranged adult sons, a daughter, and their spouses. It wasn't a friendly visit. Within moments, the men, wearing headlamps, had pulled their frightened father out of bed, pinned him into a chair, andignoring his tearful protestssheared his hair and beard, leaving him razor-burned and dripping with blood. The women then turned on Mrs. Miller, yanking her prayer cap from her head and shredding it before cutting off her waist-long hair. About twenty minutes later, the attackers fled into the darkness, taking their parents' hair as a trophy. Four similar beard-cutting attacks followed, disfiguring nine victims and generating a tsunami of mediTrade ReviewAn insider’s perspective into how a small community of Amish people, nurtured in a religious tradition of nonviolence and forgiveness, transformed into a culture of revenge and retaliation.—Publishers WeeklyDigs deep into a story that, for all its seeming quaintness, has the power to both rock the underpinnings of hate crime legislation and to break the human heart.—SalonKraybill tells this fascinating story clearly, and has the knowledge and contacts to penetrate a tight-lipped community.—The TimesAn acknowledged expert on Amish life and culture, [Kraybill] explains the religious and social background of the people involved and successfully explains the legal tangle that has not yet completely played out.
