Southern Illinois University Press Transcending the Game
Book SynopsisA collection of inclusive essays that explore the role of debate in understanding and critiquing injustice and inequality. Edited by Shawn Briscoe, these essays closely examine multiple approaches to debate, considering their respective merits and controversies.Trade Review“Transcending the Game is a unique work that highlights the perceived styles of competitive policy debate and the impact of these styles on lived experiences. The beauty of this book lies in its inclusion of diverse scholars and perspectives that help to detail the evolution of a perfectly imperfect activity.”—ShuntÁ Jordan, head coach, Georgia Debate Union at the University of Georgia “Transcending the Game offers readers an in-depth and up-close look into the life-changing potential interscholastic debate can afford its participants. The authors’ diverse perspectives take the reader through a compelling journey of thought-provoking, uplifting, and heart-breaking stories that each exemplify the power debate creates outside of the competitive arena. For anyone considering getting involved in the activity, this book is a must read.”—Dr. Michael Greenstein, director of debate, Glenbrook North High School, and former director of debate, Georgetown University “Briscoe has an unparalleled ability to explain the oftentimes complicated and complex concepts of policy debate in a way that is easily understandable. Through his use of personal experience along with his explanation of the theory and idiosyncrasies of policy debate, he creates a space that makes debate open and accessible to all, regardless of background or experience. This text is extremely timely, relevant, and necessary to continue the longstanding tradition and evolution of policy debate.”—Nicole Freeman, associate professor of communication, University of Central Missouri.Table of Contents CONTENTS Preface Introduction Prologue: The Moment that Changed My Life Section One: The Nature of Competitive Debate 1.

University of Pennsylvania Press Why Dont American Cities Burn
Book SynopsisUrban historian Michael B. Katz traces the collision of urban transformation with the rightward-moving social politics of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century America.Trade Review"Katz brings together demographic, economic, and political evidence to form a new narrative of the modern city centered on the experience of the urban poor. He not only reveals what happened in inner cities in the last decade but writes convincingly about why it matters. And he gives hope that the long decline of urban places can be reversed, even neighborhoods like North Philadelphia." * American Journal of Sociology *"Katz's work begins to move us away from a story of inevitable urban crisis and decline to a more balanced interpretation that incorporates structural inequities and human agency, as well as policy failures and successes. Indeed, Katz is working toward nothing less than a revision of our understanding of urban America in the late twentieth century." * Journal of American History *"In June 2006, distinguished urban historian Michael Katz served as a juror in a murder trial in his hometown of Philadelphia. That case propelled Katz on a fascinating journey to understand the social conditions that lay behind the fates of murderer, victim, and the city where they both struggled to survive. With Katz as sage guide, we revisit urban America over the last half century as well as the public policy successes and failures that are an inseparable part of that story." * Lizabeth Cohen, author of A Consumers' Republic: The Politics of Mass Consumption in Postwar America *"Brilliantly conceived and beautifully written, Why Don't American Cities Burn? is a terrific read that is difficult to put down. Katz considers changes over the past half-century through the lenses of urban geography and population demographics, institutional structures, the public's ossified view of the deserving and undeserving urban poor, and how the zeal for market-based solutions has led towards new poverty technologies that recast the poor as entrepreneurial actors. Most important, Katz introduces his book with a story that humanizes the field of social sciences that-paradoxically-appears at times to have forgotten the people in the sea of quantitative analyses." * Peter Hendee Brown, University of Minnesota *Table of ContentsPrologue: The Death of Shorty Chapter 1.

Laetitia Bucaille focuses on how former combatants experienced the cessation of hostilities and the ways in which they represent their past. She builds incisively on the narratives-and silences-of torturers and tortured, hunters and hunted, and the intertwined official and personal remembering and forgetting on all sides in France, Algeria, and South Africa. Fresh and compelling, this book is a must-read." * Dale F.

University of Pennsylvania Press The Paradox of Urban Revitalization
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Gillette superbly draws a set of nine urban portraits, cities addressing the tensions between economic development, equity, and community engagement...[C]ities can and should do more than what they are doing to balance the three goals of equity, economic development, and community engagement. They can benefit from implementation lessons described in this book. Howard Gillette has helped us understand the limits of what can be accomplished at the metropolitan level to resolve tensions between these three goals." * Housing Studies *"[A] welcome addition to canonical urban planning history and theory...Gillette shows how local government policymaking can make a difference and that there are ways—albeit imperfect—to counter growth machine politics of corporate subsidies and creative-class hangouts. Gillette advances that a paradox of 'progress' is grinding poverty and dispossession. Contemporary city leaders must intentionally harness urban growth toward more equitable development. Experts and non-experts alike have much to learn from that frame." * Journal of the American Planning Association *"The Paradox of Urban Revitalization is a welcome addition to the urban planning history and theory canon. Through an in-depth, multi-city empirical examination, Gillette discusses urban revitalization in the context of American cities' changing governance arrangements. The paradox advanced by Gillette is that urban revitalization geared to wealthier, whiter residents occasions displacement and deepening inequality for long-time working-class residents and residents of color. Gillette shows how local government policymaking can make a difference and that there are ways — albeit imperfect — to counter growth machine politics of corporate subsidies and creative class hangouts." * Planning Magazine *"In this ambitious case study, urban historian Gillette locates the origins of the modern civil rights reckoning within the context of urban crisis and the problems posed by efforts to revitalize postindustrial spaces...The Paradox of Urban Revitalization is a critical text for scholars interested in the complex relationship between structural racism and city policies." * Choice *"Howard Gillette, Jr. is one of our most important American urban historians. Here he digs his razor sharp analytical and empirical teeth into understanding the ‘new urban crisis’ of profoundly uneven economic growth. He centers much of his analysis on local politics and policies, which are central to today’s urban inequality drama, yet he carefully embeds his modern-day analysis within a historic context of old urban renewal patterns and inequitable outcomes. This careful historical approach makes clear that today’s urban inequalities and uprisings are part of a consistent pattern of past urban development and policy pursuits. The Paradox of Urban Revitalization is a must read for those interested in urban America and its persistent racial inequality." * Derek Hyra, American University *"The Paradox of Urban Revitalization provides an overview of the technical and political complexities of urban development, supplying the reader, and particularly students, with critical insights into the aspirations and challenges of activating the benefits of growth together with the reparative assets of equity and inclusion." * Toni Griffin, Harvard University *"In The Paradox of Urban Revitalization, Gillette brilliantly explores the stubborn linkage between poverty and progress, as well as the failure of inclusive development. Although cities have instituted various strategies to tackle racial inequities, he finds that even the ones he considers adopting the best programs are falling short. Gillette concludes that without a fundamental transformation of the prevailing political economy of racial capitalism, local efforts will not be enough to close the wealth gap." * Edward Muller, University of Pittsburgh *
