The Wanderer in African American Literature highlights an enduring
feature of African American letters: "From the slave narrative to
Afrofuturism, the literature is populated, driven, and emboldened
by wanderers who know no bounds." Gena E. Chandler argues that
wanderers and the theme of wandering push the limits of narrative
forms and challenge assumptions about the African American
experience. The slave narratives of Olaudah Equiano and Harriet
Jacobs echo eighteenth-and nineteenth-century literary traditions
and chronicle journeys toward freedom and faith. Equiano traces his
changing identity, integrating his native African culture with his
adopted European one. Jacobs addresses the gender restrictions she
faces as a slave and then a free woman whose progress in life
remains uncertain and ongoing. Langston Hughes and Nella Larsen
chronicle real and imagined journeys during the Harlem Renaissance
and the Great Migration. Hughes's autobiography I Wonder as I
Wander (1956) traces his global travels in the 1930s, highlighting
his unique identity as a black American. Larsen's novel Quicksand
(1928) follows its biracial heroine as she travels throughout the
United States and to Denmark while navigating matters of race and
gender. The protagonist of Richard Wright's The Outsider (1953)
seeks individual freedom and a new identity but is "constrained
within the boundaries of an American nation and a Western ideal
that continuously views the black Subject as outside and distinct
from the modern project of advancement and freedom." In James
Baldwin's Giovanni's Room (1956), the white protagonist flees
America for France yet cannot escape difficult questions about
sexuality and race. Finally, John Edgar Wideman's The Cattle
Killing (1996) tells the story of two wanderers-an itinerant
preacher spreading God's word during the Great Awakening and a
twentieth-century writer on a journey of self-discovery about his
identity and vocation. The former experiences a crisis of his
Christian faith, and the latter endures a crisis of faith in his
literary abilities. Tying these diverse threads together, Chandler
demonstrates the power of the black narrative to assimilate and
redeploy the literary trope of wanderlust, exchanging its premise
of rootless drifting for something altogether more mobilizing.

One of the most devastating and life-changing moments a parent can
face is experiencing the death of their child. Bereaved parents are
often left unsupported in the swells of grief and the long-term
reality of unending sorrow after trauma. Erin E. Chandler lost her
own daughter, Ava, and spent years suffering alone, struggling with
the debilitating physical, emotional, and mental effects of
unexpressed anger and grief. In Love You, Ava Baby, Erin gives a
raw and vulnerable account of her journey through Ava's life and
death. She shares how she learned that the heartbreaking lows and
the painful face of grief can actually lead to a life filled with
joy, purpose, and miracles.
This book addresses gaps in current project management literature.
From a senior management perspective, the gap is the lack of
resources explaining why and how to establish a program to improve
executive sponsorship strategically across an organization. From a
tactical perspective, the gap is a scarcity of actionable materials
to clarify roles, responsibilities, expected behaviors, and
identify support necessary for improving sponsor effectiveness.
Improving Executive Sponsorship of Projects identifies key factors
to consider before creating an executive sponsorship improvement
program or enhancing an existing one. The authors explain why
executive sponsorship is important to an organization, how an
organization's culture influences the effectiveness of the sponsor
role, and why project management standards are critical to success.
The book explores what roles, responsibilities, and behavior should
be considered and how to determine whether the person in the
sponsor role is the right person and prepared to do the job.
Finally, it provides a process and tools to assess an
organization's readiness to implement an executive sponsorship
program, develop a plan for improvement, and monitor the progress
of a program once it has begun.

Moving to the Middle East at the height of the war on terror,
Rev. Baul becomes the priest of the international Episcopal church
in Cairo, Egypt. Paranoid of danger imagined at every turn, Mrs.
Baul is convinced that this assignment is proof that her gifted
husband is working as a secret agent, in addition to his priestly
duties, a "double opportunity," as she comes to call it.
Quite oblivious to her meddling, Rev. Baul dotes on his wife
with great admiration despite her disapproval of his pigeon-racing
hobby. Behind the scenes, their two savvy children, in league with
their gadget inventing Grandpa Baul, expend huge efforts to keep
peace intact as Mrs. Baul ventures to blow the lid off brewing
deception involving a Donkey Rescue charity and a kidnapped bishop
whose trail leads the entire Baul entourage to a climatic pigeon
race in the remote desert oasis of Siwa.
