American Psychological Association How Are You Verity
Book SynopsisA neurodivergent child interacts with their neighbors to discover the true meaning behind greetings and salutations. Trade ReviewVerity must navigate the titular question’s multiple social meanings in this personal-feeling story, which draws on the author’s experiences. In neighborhood settings, community members portrayed with varying skin tones ask brown-skinned, bespectacled Verity, “How are you?” and the exuberant child responds at length with information about sea creatures. When big brother John observes that the question is generally considered a greeting rather than an invitation for elaboration, Verity experiments with the concept. The exercise grows more complex when a canceled field trip to the aquarium leaves Verity feeling down, prompting a sincere version of the query from John—and provoking a heart-to-heart that revives the protagonist. Barron’s flattened, unlined renderings stylishly play with shape, pattern, and, aptly, perspective. An author’s note from Wilson Duff discusses neurodiversity. Ages 4–8. * Publishers Weekly *

Book SynopsisAbuela?s Letter is a beautiful story that addresses loss and grief within a Latin family where a young girlis challenged by the death of her grandmother and discovers letter-writing as a way to cope and connect with her loved one''s passing. Alma?s favorite days are when her big family gathers at Abuela?s house. Tíos take siestas while tías tell their stories, and primos play dominoes while Abuela stirs the frijoles.

Alma is filled with sadness and grief, until she finds a letter that Abuela left for her. Could Abuela?s words be what fills her heart again with love and sweet memories?

John Wiley & Sons Sodomys Solicitations
Book SynopsisJoseph Fischel's provocative book,Sodomy's Solicitations,builds out a politics of sexual justice that challenges state sex exceptionalism. By tracing several twenty-first century contestations around Louisiana anti-sodomy laws, Fischel examines patterns and practices of sexual injustice that are too easily eclipsed by our collective focus on marginalized identities. The political stories narrated in Sodomy's Solicitations are undoubtedly stories of racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia, but they are also stories of other political problems-and political possibilities. Fischel indicts U.S. sex offender regulatory regimes as state-sponsored sexual violence; offers a qualified defense for sexual expression in public; and argues that animal sexual abuse laws, with their exemptions for industrial agricultural practices, authorize the suffering they were enacted to deter. He also makes the case that laws criminalizing the exchange of sex for money are unconstitutional, and proposes that the best way to protect trans and queer children might just be to enfranchise them. Sodomy's Solicitations champions a right to queerness across rather than within identity formations-a right to relatively unpoliced gender, sexual, and intimate pluralism.

John Wiley & Sons American Corruption Talk
Book SynopsisAmericans often worry about political corruption-not only about specific officials misusing their powers, but also more broadly about political, cultural, moral decay or deterioration. Underneath our talk about corruption lie deeper claims and concerns about how we organize our common life. American Corruption Talk presents a study of corruption and corruption talk that seeks to understand those deeper claims and concerns. Robert Boatright and Molly Brigid McGrath focus on the role corruption talk plays in American political discourse. They distinguish between two ways people speak about corruption-corruption talk in the style of a purifier, who wishes to expunge the evil forces or drain the swamp, and corruption talk in the style of the mender, who thinks of managing, replacing, or repairing. American Corruption Talk begins by tracing how the concept of political corruption was developed by philosophers and political thinkers, leading up to its use in the American context, especially in the Progressive Era. It also compares modes of contemporary corruption talk in different areas of public life. In doing so, the authors hope to resolve confusion and partisan disagreements about what corruption is and to discourage the tendency to label actions, events, and ideas that we merely disagree with as corrupt.

Temple University Press,U.S. Undoing the Revolution
Book Synopsis Undoing the Revolution looks at the way rural underclasses ally with out-of-power elites to overthrow their governments—only to be shut out of power when the new regime assumes control. Vasabjit Banerjee first examines why peasants need to ally with dissenting elites in order to rebel. He then shows how conflict resolution and subsequent bargains to form new state institutions re-empower allied elites and re-marginalize peasants. Banerjee evaluates three different agrarian societies during distinct time periods spanning the twentieth century: revolutionary Mexico from 1910 to 1930; late-colonial India from 1920 until 1947; and White-dominated Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) from the mid-1960s to 1980. This comparative approach also allows examination of both the underclass need for elite participation and the variety of causes that elites use to incentivize peasant classes to participate, extending from religious-ethnic identity and common political targets to the peasa

Temple University Press,U.S. The Rise and Fall of Americas Concentration Camp
Book Synopsis The Emergency Detention Act, Title II of the Internal Security Act of 1950, is the only law in American history to legalize preventive detention. It restricted the freedom of a certain individual or a group of individuals based on actions that may be taken that would threaten the security of a nation or of a particular area. Yet the Act was never enforced before it was repealed in 1971. Masumi Izumi links the Emergency Detention Act with Japanese American wartime incarceration in her cogent study, The Rise and Fall of America’s Concentration Camp Law. She dissects the entangled discourses of race, national security, and civil liberties between 1941 and 1971 by examining how this historical precedent generated “the concentration camp law” and expanded a ubiquitous regime of surveillance in McCarthyist America. Izumi also shows how political radicalism grew as a result of these laws. Japanese Americas were instrumental in forming grassrTrade Review"Izumi presents a compelling argument, claiming that US lawmakers, gripped by the fear of a communist (rather than Japanese) incursion, relied on the legal precedents created by the internment to institute America’s only preventive detention law—one aimed at potentially subversive individuals or groups.... The frequent inclusion of excerpts and illustrations from contemporary sources will help make the text more accessible for some readers.... [T]his is a welcome addition to both American and legal history. Summing Up: Highly recommended."— Choice"This is policy history at its best, showing the complex interactions between policy makers and their larger society. It is built on a sturdy foundation of an explanation of why and how the United States interned hundreds of thousands of people during World War II but is also informed by the cultural turn in historical analysis.... What Izumi reveals about those times speaks to our current time, as racialized imagery and hysterical fears about national security have moved the nation to create concentration camps for a different racial group of aliens."—Pacific Historical Review"For a detailed analysis of the genesis of the Emergency Detention Act, its impact on ideas of citizenship, rights, the interpretation of the US constitution and the role of race in the legal culture of the country, this represents an informative and readable account. Stronger on narrative than it is on analysis in some cases, the book reveals a little-discussed episode in US legal history, one thankfully never invoked in practice, that sheds light on a period of contested civil liberties....The dangers and prejudices so well documented here have not gone away, and certainly in that sense there is a great deal to learn from history." —Ethnic and Racial Studies

Temple University Press,U.S. Understanding Muslim Political Life in America
Book Synopsis “Muslim Americans are at a political crossroads,” write editors Brian Calfano and Nazita Lajevardi. Whereas Muslims are now widely incorporated in American public life, there are increasing social and political pressures that disenfranchise them or prevent them from realizing the American Dream. Understanding Muslim Political Life in America brings clarity to the social, religious, and political dynamics that this diverse religious community faces. In this timely volume, leading scholars cover a variety of topics assessing the Muslim American experience in the post-9/11 and pre-Trump era, including law enforcement; identity labels used in Muslim surveys; the role of gender relations; recognition; and how discrimination, tolerance, and politics impact American Muslims.

Temple University Press,U.S. Shelter on the Journey Humanitarianism Human
Book SynopsisMigration journeys are arduous, with migrants tormented by risk, abuse, threats, and xenophobia. Shelters, staffed by humanitarian workers and volunteers, provide safe spaces for those in transit. Shelter on the Journey examines how these sites, often faith-based civil society associations, create solidarity and help politicize migrants, giving them a sense of themselves as an empowered, rights-holding people. Solano, who volunteered at shelters in Mexico, chronicles the activity in three of the nearly 100 shelters along a unique humanitarian trail that many Central Americans take to reach the United States. She outlines the constraints faced by these sites and their potential to create social transformation and considers how and why migration security is currently framed and managed as both a criminal and humanitarian issue. Shelter on the Journey explores the politics of the shelters, their social world, and the dynamics of charity and solidarity, as well as the need for humanitarian assistance and advocacy for dignified and free transit migration.

Temple University Press,U.S. BlueState Republican
Book SynopsisHow Larry Hogan bested the Blue Wave and Trumpism to become Maryland's only two-term Republican governor in more than fifty yearsTrade Review“Donald Trump’s Republican Party is not the only GOP. Moderate Republicans such as Maryland Governor Larry Hogan present a different model—one that used to dominate much of the electoral map but has now dwindled to a handful of states, most of them normally Democratic. Mileah Kromer does a splendid job of depicting Hogan as the blue-state Republican. Hogan’s two victories in territory usually hostile to the GOP suggest the path other Republicans can take to win in blue and competitive purple states.”—Larry J. Sabato, Director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics“Blue-State Republican is a master class in Governor Larry Hogan’s improbable rise to power in deep-blue Maryland in 2014 and a lesson in why he may beat expectations again if he runs for president. Kromer has long been a go-to source for reporters covering Maryland politics. With this book, she establishes herself as a resource for anyone trying to understand Hogan’s place in the modern Republican Party. Time will tell if there is room in Donald Trump’s GOP for a centrist. If Hogan’s gamble pays off, then Kromer is offering us the first look at his recipe—an approach others may try to emulate. Even for those of us who had a front-row seat to Hogan’s rise, Blue-State Republican is an illuminating take on one of the most compelling and counterintuitive political stories of our time.”—John Fritze, USA Today, and former Washington correspondent for the Baltimore Sun

Showing how body image and self-identity are constructed in contemporaryneoliberal India, the editors and contributors theorize issues of body image vis-à-vis Indian womanhood while touching upon political, socio-economic, and cultural parameters.

Temple University Press,U.S. Richard IIIs Bodies from Medieval England to
Book SynopsisThe story of a medieval king's disability traveling through time from Shakespeare's hands to todayTrade Review“Wilson explores the many meanings of Shakespeare’s masterpiece in performance and as text and of Richard III as an historical figure in a wide-ranging study that offers careful and approachable close readings that will interest actors, directors, playgoers, scholars, and the general reader. While Richard’s body is center stage in this reception history, Wilson’s spotlight is also on the audience. This book makes a strong case for Richard’s centrality to disability studies and is a hugely enjoyable read.”—Essaka Joshua, Associate Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame, and author of Physical Disability in British Romantic Literature“Erudite, original, and thoughtful, Jeffrey Wilson’s Richard III’s Bodies from Medieval England to Modernity is a vital resource for anyone studying disability history, stigmatized bodies, and the historiography of monarchy. Chapters range widely across medieval and early-modern visual representations of Richard and the presentation of Richard’s so-called hunch on stage in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The book also includes a fascinating account of contemporary performances and the political stakes in the twenty-first century of casting Richard as a person with a disability, as a person with a disability who culturally and politically identifies as Disabled, or as a person without a disability. The volume concludes with the felicitous coinage ‘historical presentism’ to discuss the study of Shakespearean adaptations and appropriations and reminds us why we still read about Richard, and perhaps why we still read Shakespeare at all.”—Sujata Iyengar, Professor of English at the University of Georgia, and editorof Disability, Health, and Happiness in the Shakespearean Body"Wilson's perceptive and timely work...demonstrates succinctly that disability and its presence within Shakespeare’s Richard III and all subsequent interpretations of Richard’s body remain central to our understanding of Shakespeare’s role within English disability history....

Mass shootings in our country are like an earthquake, causing death and injury at the epicenter with dramatic ripples reverberating outwards.

Temple University Press,U.S. An Epidemic among My People
Book SynopsisThe pandemic presented religion as a paradox: faith is often crucial for helping people weather life’s troubles and make difficult decisions, but how can religion continue to deliver these benefits and provide societal structure without social contact? The topical volume, An Epidemic among My People explains how the COVID-19 pandemic stress tested American religious communities and created a new politics of religion centered on public health.The editors and contributorsconsider how the virus and government policy affected religion in America. Chapters examine the link between the prosperity gospel and conspiracy theories, the increased purchase of firearms by evangelicals, the politics of challenging public health orders as religious freedom claims, and the reactions of Christian nationalists, racial groups, and female clergy to the pandemic (and pandemic politics). As sharp lines were drawn between people and their governments during this uncertain time, Trade Review“What power does religion hold in times of crisis? Drawing on a wealth of research conducted over the first two years of the coronavirus pandemic, the thoughtful editors and contributors to An Epidemic among My People uncover how faith communities and religious identities shaped responses to the pandemic. At the same time, the broad range of research contained here underscores how a crisis impacts religious beliefs and practices. This unique collection of essays from across the social sciences showcases findings and insights essential to understanding how religious forces matter in our collective experience of major national and worldwide events.”—Janelle Wong, Professor of American Studies and Government and Politics at the University of Maryland, and author of Immigrants, Evangelicals, and Politics in an Era of Demographic Change“COVID-19 had colossal impacts on public health and mortality, with immense social, political, economic, and psychological consequences. Our understanding of its more precise consequences in particular spheres of society remains thin. An Epidemic among My People offers a reliable, in-depth account of the impacts of COVID-19 on one major area of social life—religion. An impressive array of scholars use very strong empirical data to insightfully sort out the many ways religion and the pandemic interacted, and with what consequences. It is essential reading not only on religion, but for anyone wishing to understand the impact of COVID-19 in society generally.”—Christian Smith, Wm. R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Sociology at the University of Notre Dame "The book covers a lot of territory, with unexpected findings throughout....Through its remarkable collection of new research and data analysis, this book provides a broad foundation for scholars to build on to better understand the complex, multifaceted relationship between the Covid-19 pandemic and American religion and politics.”— Politics and Religion

ML - Temple University Press Beyond Left Right and Center
Book SynopsisWomen’s political representation is often expected to be better on “the left.” However, the reality is more complicated. Using Germany’s multi-party system as its central case study, Beyond Left, Right, and Center challenges this conventional wisdom on political ideology. Christina Xydias shows that some right-leaning parties advocate for women’s rights and interests, while left- and right-leaning parties can be equally indifferent to lack of representation for women from marginalized groups. These findings follow from analyses of election results, transcripts from debates and speeches, and personal interviews, as well as from a close reading of intertwined military and citizenship policies that illustrate how women’s and ethnic minority groups’ rights are constructed.Beyond Left, Right, and Center concludes with an analysis of women’s representation across OECD countries, showing that right-leaning p

John Wiley & Sons Family and Disability Activism
Book SynopsisIn 2020, Pamela Block, Allison C. Carey, and Richard K. Scotch published Allies and Obstacles, which examined the tensions and connections between disability activism and parents of children with disabilities. In Family and Disability Activism, they continue to examine these issues with a focus on the path-breaking advocacy by marginalized activists withintersectional lived experiences.

Contributions by Deaf and disabled activists emphasize the frequent need for either care or independence. Other chapters show how members of the disabled community and their families must navigate systemic issues of segregation, institutionalization, and access to special education services differently depending on their ethnic and racial identities. Expanding the conversation about disability, kinship, biological and chosen families, and activism, this volume amplifies important voices in the fight for disability rights.

John Wiley & Sons Foundations of Black Epistemology Knowledge
Book SynopsisFoundations of Black Epistemology is Adebayo Oluwayomi's bold endeavor to delineate Black epistemology as a new sub-disciplinary focus in contemporary Africana or Black philosophy. He engages in a rigorous historical study of Black intellectual history to show how seminal Black thinkers have long been interested in and engaged with questions concerning the phenomenon of human knowledge, and questions around human agency, including practical considerations regarding the social and political value of knowledge. Foundations of Black Epistemology examines writings by Phillis Wheatley, Frederick Douglas, Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. DuBois, Frantz Fanon, Steve Bantu Biko, Huey P. Newtown, and Kathleen Neal Clever. Each chapter addresses issues of self-knowledge, self-assertion, Black consciousness, or anticolonialism and its relation to personal and political epistemologies. Oluwayomi offers innovative perspectives on the formulation, deduction, and interrogation of epistemological themes within Black Africana philosophy. By considering the important epistemological theories and arguments in Black philosophy particularly in the last 150 to 200 years, Foundations of Black Epistemology promises to generate new discussions around this necessary field of Black Africana philosophy.

Temple University Press,U.S. Who Is Antiracist
Book SynopsisIn the summer of 2020 when protests were mobilizing for social justice, the term antiracist started getting more traction. It demanded a more active civic orientation and a commitment to uprooting racism from institutions. In Who Is Antiracist? George Yancey and Hayoung David Oh use this flashpoint moment to ask, what are the characteristics of those who support antiracism? Who is most likely to be swayed toward this set of commitments, who is not, and how do they understand each other?Who Is Antiracist? provides a systematic approach to understanding the motivations and intentions of racial progressives as well as the impact of political ideology on antiracism. The authors discuss the theoretical origins of contemporary antiracism and review key works of antiracism to piece together the characteristics that define it. They also create the Antiracism Attitude Scale to explore the demographic makeup and social views of those who support the type of antiracism popularized in the United States. Acknowledging that antiracism faces powerful challenges in fully obtaining the goals articulated by its proponents, Who Is Antiracist? enlightens us about the continuing racial conflict in our society and warns against the risk of antiracism becoming just a proxy for ordinary party politics.

Temple University Press,U.S. Christian Cosmopolitanism
Book SynopsisWhile religious institutions have been gateways for immigrants into local communities, religion has also coalesced with nationalism to discriminate against foreigners. Felipe Amin Filomeno asks, can “deliberative dialogues” about immigration in Christian congregations play a cosmopolitan role and bridge differences of nationality, race, and culture regarding immigration? To find the answer, he visited numerous Christian congregations in Baltimore with varying demographic makeups to discuss intergroup tensions and similarities in their communities. He developed dialogues to promote mutual understanding and collaboration between immigrants and U.S.-born people in religious spaces.Christian Cosmopolitanism shows that mutual understanding can result when people share their personal stories, feelings, and thoughts about immigration. They reflect and deliberate on collaborative action to advance common interests and shared values, which can unleash the cosmopol

The University of North Carolina Press Jim Crow Wisdom
Book SynopsisHow do we balance the desire for tales of exceptional accomplishment with the need for painful doses of reality? How hard do we work to remember our past or to forget it? These are some of the questions that Jonathan Scott Holloway addresses in this exploration of race memory from the dawn of the modern civil rights era to the present. Relying on social science, documentary film, dance, popular literature, museums, memoir, and the tourism trade, Holloway explores the stories black Americans have told about their past and why these stories are vital to understanding a modern black identity. In the process, Holloway asks much larger questions about the value of history and facts when memories do violence to both.Making discoveries about his own past while researching this book, Holloway weaves first-person and family memories into the traditional third-person historian''s perspective. The result is a highly readable, rich, and deeply personal narrative that will be familiar to some,

The University of North Carolina Press No More Work
Book SynopsisFor centuries we've believed that work was where you learned discipline, initiative, honesty, self-reliancein a word, character. A job was also, and not incidentally, the source of your income: if you didn't work, you didn't eat, or else you were stealing from someone. If only you worked hard, you could earn your way and maybe even make something of yourself. In recent decades, through everyday experience, these beliefs have proven spectacularly false. In this book, James Livingston explains how and why Americans still cling to work as a solution rather than a problem why it is that both liberals and conservatives announce that full employment is their goal when job creation is no longer a feasible solution for any problem, moral or economic. The result is a witty, stirring denunciation of the ways we think about why we labor, exhorting us to imagine a new way of finding meaning, character, and sustenance beyond our workaday worldand showingus that we can afford to leave that world b
