The School that Cared - P. Kamara Sekou Collins - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In The School that Cared, P. Kamara Sekou Collins examines the struggles that African-American students encounter within the public school system in Cincinnati, Ohio. Collins explores blacks and the arena of education during the 19th and 20th centuries, which led to the implementation of alternative strategies, such as the development of contemporary school communities, in order to provide a quality education for African-American students. As a contemporary continuation of this gallant historical education struggle, Collins highlights the Marva Collins Preparatory School of Cincinnati.

Imagine a World - Delores P. Aldridge - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This book focuses on the lives of five unique, nationally known sociologists who are among the first African American women to receive doctorate degrees in this discipline.

In each case, the reader will be able to see the intellectual and academic evolution of the sociologists as they built careers in their discipline. Further, the reader will be able to understand how these sociologists extended the very definition of the sociological enterprise by their movements between academic sociology and non-academic organizations, various social movements, and non-academic employment. Interviews with and analyses of the sociologists'' published research are featured alongside their biographical information.

Democracy Gone - Robert P. Abele - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Democracy Gone - Robert P. Abele - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In Democracy Gone, Abele argues that the last eight years in particular have shown us that our democracy has largely disintegrated, leaving behind only an exoskeleton that was once its original vertebrae of ends and principles. This book questions whether or not the American democratic experiment has run out of steam and if, through our inattention, we have replaced our democracy with politicians lustful for power and central authority that is out of touch with the needs of common people. The essays included in Democracy Gone focus specifically on two questions. First, how true are we staying to our founding values in our national actions and dialogues? Second, how consistent and universal is our application of the principles and standards we claim to hold dear? The underlying call is that it is critical to our form of democracy in the United States that citizens once again become active participants in the issues of the day: nothing less than the reclamation of our democracy is at stake.

Tennessee's John Wilder - Edward P. French - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Tennessee's John Wilder - Edward P. French - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Honorable John S. Wilder has served the constituents of Tennessee for over forty-years, and this historical accomplishment serves as the foundation of this work. In his political life, Lieutenant Governor Wilder has directly or indirectly impacted some of the most important administrative and public policy decisions over this period of time. Through archival document analysis and personal interviews with the Lieutenant Governor and many of his closest aids, political colleagues, and staunch opponents, the authors of this text have traced the history of John S. Wilder''s accomplishments and defeats from the late 1950s to the present. This triangulation of data collection and analysis helped the authors uncover forgotten political stories, and assisted in substantiating facts about many of the Lieutenant Governor''s major political decisions. Highlighted in the text are Wilder''s political triumphs over two coup attempts within the Democratic Party to oust him as Speaker of the Senate in the late 1980s. These efforts failed when the longest serving State Legislator in American history reached across party lines to maintain control of the second most powerful position in Tennessee state government. Now in his late 80''s, Wilder is still determined as ever to continue leading the Tennessee Senate well into the twenty-first century. This book chronicles the political career of the man from Somerville.

War Wisdom - Christian P. Potholm Ii - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

War Wisdom - Christian P. Potholm Ii - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

War Wisdom: A Cross Cultural Sampling is a unique combination of directory and analysis. It provides a relevant “universe” of quotations, together with their authors, about war from various ages and across a large number of societies including those found in China, Japan, Persia, Mongolia, Europe, and America (both North and South), as well as Native American nations and Africa. A lengthy introductory essay presents and analyzes a dozen relevant themes found throughout those cultures, themes which show a pattern of very widespread, if not universal, appeal. Of particular relevance is the author’s engagement with the conflicting wisdom pertaining to war found within the same society as well as common themes appearing across cultures, societies, and time frames.

The Homecoming Seasons - James P. Macguire - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Homecoming Seasons - James P. Macguire - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Homecoming Seasons: An Irish Catholic Returns to a Changing Long Island is a deeply moving memoir of a returning natives re-experience of his childhood community. After many years abroad as a graduate student at Cambridge, a Peace Corps Volunteer in Thailand, and as a country program director of health care and agricultural programs in central Africa, James MacGuire returned to New York and spent most of the 1980s at Time Inc., Macmillan and the Manhattan Institute. In 1990 he married and several years later, with a second child on the way, he and his wife decamped from Manhattan for a small enclave called the Isle of Wight in the village of Lawrence on the south shore of Long Island, where MacGuire had grown up. This book tells the story of MacGuire’s return to this world—how it had evolved from ancient times; been inhabited by indigenous peoples; colonized by the Dutch and English; and then grew from a sparsely populated agricultural corner of western Long Island to an early summer resort, then an outer, and, finally, an inner suburb of New York City. Jamie MacGuire skillfully weaves memories of his childhood in this almost hidden world with sketches of his family and their friends before updating his account with a lovingly detailed, diary-like depiction of returning. His parents’ friends now much older, the community more diverse, as he, his wife and children make new friends as they proceed into this changed world. He captures in cinematic detail the wonder of the wetlands and surrounding natural world, the poignant life, death and rebirth of community, the joys and sorrows of marriage and parenthood, and the profound exultation of safely shepherding two beloved sons to triumphant adulthood. This is an uplifting literary memoir that will earn and deserve the widest possible audience.

On Holy Ground - John P. Sullivan - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Grounded in research done by examining the clinical practices of five exemplary psychotherapists, On Holy Ground explores the relationship between psychotherapy and spirituality. This book addresses the religious and spiritual issues that mental health practitioners are not normally effectively trained to handle. It presents an overview of the history of the relationship between psychology and spirituality, including a review of contemporary literature related to the subject. The author''s main emphasis falls on his interviews with five psychotherapists whose spirituality is at the center of their lives and work. Sullivan''s analysis of these interviews includes a discussion of several common core themes, such as views of the person and the process of therapy as inherently psychological and spiritual, respect for the freedom of clients, and the place of prayer and meditation.

America's Global Role - Francis P. Sempa - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

America's Global Role - Francis P. Sempa - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

America''s Global Role, a collection of essays and reviews on national security, geopolitics and war, combines a broad historical and geopolitical overview of U.S. national security policy with commentary on historical events and biographical sketches of historical figures. This book offers insights into the evolution of U.S. national security policy from the founding to the present. Sempa shows how the United States began as a sliver of territory on the eastern seaboard of central North America; pursued a policy of westward expansion by diplomacy, war, and conquest, exploiting the European balance of power; formulated and implemented national security doctrines designed to protect its security and promote further expansion; and survived a terrible Civil War that threatened to halt that expansion. Afterwards, America began to play a larger role on the global stage. During the first half of the twentieth century, the U.S. acted as an "offshore balancer" to restore the balance of power on the Eurasian landmass. Later, the U.S. became the geopolitical successor to the British Empire. The end of the Cold War produced an initial period of uncertainty in U.S. national security policy that ended with the events of September 11, 2001, as U.S. national security policy focused on efforts to defeat global Islamic terrorists and rogue states seeking to acquire weapons of mass destruction. Sempa points out the political, demographic, and geopolitical developments of the early twenty-first century that have shifted the focus of U.S. national security policy from Europe to Asia.

In Spatializing Social Justice: Literary Critiques Maryann DiEdwardo uses seven literary critiques and seven reflections to share her newest research about the healing power of literature. DiEdwardo argues that literacy is the lifelong intellectual process of gaining meaning from a critical interpretation of written or printed text. Literary critiques explore the writer’s mind for symbolism hidden within the words, and writers of literary critiques listen to their own voices first. In this book, DiEdwardo touches upon different types of writing and writers who aim to explore the healing process through words.

Tracing Personal Expansion - Walter P. Collins - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Tracing Personal Expansion - Walter P. Collins - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

How can Africans escape the control of the complex power relationships established during Colonization and successfully achieve self-development? More importantly, and the primary concern of this book, can African female characters ever hope to arrive at such individuation given the dual challenges of the power structures defined and enforced by European colonizers and the patriarchal structures that contort issues related to gender? Tracing Personal Expansion reads late 20th Century works by African female novelists Buchi Emecheta, Tsitsi Dangarembga, and Calixthe Beyala as modern Bildungsromane, novels of self-development, to reveal the dynamics, complexities, and challenges the characters and authors experience. By exploring the possibility of self-development in African female protagonists, this engrossing work augments existing feminist critiques that have analyzed the possibilities and potentials for the individuation of mostly Western, mostly European female characters.

The Colorful Conservative - R. O. P. Lopez - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Colorful Conservative - R. O. P. Lopez - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In The Colorful Conservative, R.O.P. López culls important insights into American culture from the works of Phillis Wheatley, Edgar Allan Poe, Henry David Thoreau, William Wells Brown, and Walt Whitman. López contends that many of the tensions that emerged prior to the Civil War remain unresolved; thus, the nineteenth century never ended and Americans still live in the literary framework of the 1800s. Beyond political distinctions of the left and the right, there are really four poles: The Left, The Conformist Burkeans, The Anarchist-Nihilist-Libertarians, and The Colorful Conservatives. The Left and the Colorful Conservatives are the two poles most at odds with each other. The Colorful Conservatives, López argues, encompass these five American authors and are the driving force behind many unique paradoxes in the United States'' political culture.

Blood on Their Hands - Forrest P. Redd - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Blood on Their Hands - Forrest P. Redd - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In Blood on Their Hands, author Forrest Redd unravels the past eight years of the Bush Administration in an attempt to prove why George W. Bush should be convicted of inciting an illegal war. Fueled by the outcome of the 2004 election, Redd demonstrates how the right-leaning media pundits assisted Bush in misleading the public and why the American people share the responsibility of Bush''s disappointing, dangerous presidency. In reevaluating the way the American people handled the Bush Administration, Redd transfers the blame for eight years of failures and atrocities from Bush squarely to the shoulders of the American voters. Redd also includes chapters on the Supreme Court''s role in determining the 2000 election, a side-by-side comparison of Kerry and Bush in the 2004 election, and a reaction to the proposed change brought about by the 2008 election. Ultimately, Blood on Their Hands is a call to the nation to come together and practice common sense, strive for enlightenment, and exercise decency, tolerance, and compassion.

Research is, in effect, an art of applying a set of skills in solving a researchable problem. Such a stated goal often gives both student and teacher a great deal of difficulty when the development of research skills must conform to the time limitation of one semester or one or two courses in research. Critical Research and Evaluation is a "layman''s" guide to understanding and conducting basic research. It is a guide to "action" research with real world applications in local settings.

Strategic Choice Under Uncertainty - Mzamo P. Mangaliso - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Strategic Choice Under Uncertainty - Mzamo P. Mangaliso - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Strategic Choice Under Uncertainty provides an inside perspective of how multinational corporations dealt with the pressure to withdraw from South Africa in the 1980s. The decision was mired in the uncertainty of weighing the economic and social costs of the disinvestment strategy against the benefits that would come with the restoration of racial equality and democracy in the country. By providing a robust conceptual scaffolding of environmental uncertainty, the book empirically demonstrates how extra-organizational environmental forces can affect strategic choices and, therefore, performance outcomes. Furthermore, the book demonstrates the vulnerability of multinational business operations to repressive host government practices, and the powerlessness of business decision-makers to implement their objectively rational plans under such conditions. It illustrates that the threat and, indeed, the actual execution of large scale corporate withdrawal can be instrumental in spurring social change in such repressive host countries.

Church, State, and Race - Ryan P. Jordan - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Church, State, and Race - Ryan P. Jordan - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This book uses the discourse of religious liberty, often expressed as one favoring a separation between church and state, to explore racial differences during an era of American empire building (1750–1900). Discussions of religious liberty in America during this time often revolved around the fitness of certain ethnic or racial groups to properly exercise their freedom of conscience. Significant fear existed that groups outside the Anglo-Protestant mainstream might somehow undermine the American experiment in ordered republican liberty. Hence, repeated calls could be heard for varying forms of assimilation to normative Protestant ideals about religious expression. Though Americans pride themselves on their secular society, it is worth interrogating the exclusive and even violent genealogy of such secular values. When doing so, it is important to understand the racial limitations of the discourse of religious freedom for various aspects of American political culture. The following account of the history of religious liberty seeks to destabilize the widespread assumption that the dominant American culture inevitably trends toward greater freedom in the realm of personal expression.
