True Colors (or, Affirmations in a Crisis) is a chronicle of
survival by trailblazing artist Zora J Murff. Murff constructs a
manual for coming to terms with the historic and contemporary
realities of America's divisive structures of privilege and caste.
Since leaving social work to pursue photography over a decade ago,
Murff's work has consistently grappled with the complicit
entanglement of the medium in the histories of spectacle,
commodification, and race, often contextualizing his own
photographs with found and appropriated images and commissioned
texts. True Colors continues that work, expanding to address the
act of remembering and the politics of self, which Murff identifies
as "the duality of Black patriotism and the challenges of finding
belonging in places not made for me-of creating an affirmation in a
moment of crisis as I learn to remake myself in my own image."
Nuanced, challenging, and inspiring, True Colors (or, Affirmations
in a Crisis) is a must-have monograph by a rising and standout
artist. True Colors is the result of the inaugural Next Step Award,
a partnership between Aperture and Baxter St at the Camera Club of
New York, with the generous support of 7G Foundation. An exhibition
of the work will open at Baxter St in New York in November 2021.
Instruments of Planning: Tensions and Challenges for more Equitable
and Sustainable Cities critically explores planning's
instrumentality to deliver important social and environmental
outcomes in neoliberal planning landscapes. Because each instrument
is unique and may be tailored to its own jurisdictional needs,
Instruments of Planning is a compendium of case studies from urban
regions in Australia, Canada, the United States and Europe,
providing readers with a collection that critically challenges the
role and potential of planning instruments and instrumentality
across a range of contexts. Instruments of Planning captures the
political, institutional, and economic challenges that confront
planning. It examines planning instruments designed to assist with
strategic planning and implementation, and considers the role that
technology plays in unpacking and understanding complexity in
planning. Written by Rebecca Leshinsky and Crystal Legacy of RMIT
University in Melbourne, Australia, this book fills the gap in
planning theory about the instrumentality of planning in the
neoliberal urban context. It is essential reading for students,
urban researchers, policy analysts and planning practitioners.
Disruptive Urbanism examines how different forms and modes of the
so called "sharing economy" are manifesting in cities and regions
throughout the world, and how policy makers are responding to these
disruptions. The emergence of the so called "sharing economy" and
the "disruptive technologies" have profound implications for urban
policy and governance. Initial expectations that "sharing" of
homes, offices or vehicles could solve urban problems such as
congestion or housing affordability have given way to concerns over
job precarity, neighbourhood transformation, and the growing power
of platforms in disrupting urban governance and regulation.
Contributors to this volume canvas these issues, examining how the
"sharing economy" is manifesting in urban areas, the implications
of this for urban living, and how policy makers are responding to
these changes. Implications for urban research, policy, and
practice are highlighted through chapters which address forms of
urban "sharing" across housing, transport, work, and food and wider
processes of globalisation and neoliberalism as they disrupt cities
and urban policy making. Disruptive Urbanism will be of great
interest to scholars of urban planning, urban governance, the
sharing economy, and housing studies. The chapters were originally
published as a special issue of Urban Policy and Research.

Harvard's searing and sobering indictment of its own long-standing
relationship with chattel slavery and anti-Black discrimination. In
recent years, scholars have documented extensive relationships
between American higher education and slavery. The Legacy of
Slavery at Harvard adds Harvard University to the long list of
institutions, in the North and the South, entangled with slavery
and its aftermath. The report, written by leading researchers from
across the university, reveals hard truths about Harvard's deep
ties to Black and Indigenous bondage, scientific racism,
segregation, and other forms of oppression. Between the
university's founding in 1636 and 1783, when slavery officially
ended in Massachusetts, Harvard leaders, faculty, and staff
enslaved at least seventy people, some of whom worked on campus,
where they cared for students, faculty, and university presidents.
Harvard also benefited financially and reputationally from
donations by slaveholders, slave traders, and others whose fortunes
depended on human chattel. Later, Harvard professors and the
graduates they trained were leaders in so-called race science and
eugenics, which promoted disinvestment in Black lives through
forced sterilization, residential segregation, and segregation and
discrimination in education. No institution of Harvard's scale and
longevity is a monolith. Harvard was also home to abolitionists and
pioneering Black thinkers and activists such as W. E. B. Du Bois,
Charles Hamilton Houston, and Eva Beatrice Dykes. In the late
twentieth century, the university became a champion of racial
diversity in education. Yet the past cannot help casting a long
shadow on the present. Harvard's motto, Veritas, inscribed on
gates, doorways, and sculptures all over campus, is an exhortation
to pursue truth. The Legacy of Slavery at Harvard advances that
necessary quest.
Building on a growing movement within developing countries in Latin
America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, as well as Europe and North
America, this book documents cutting edge practice and builds
theory around a rights based approach to women's safety in the
context of poverty reduction and social inclusion. Drawing upon two
decades of research and grassroots action on safer cities for women
and everyone, this book is about the right to an inclusive city.
The first part of the book describes the challenges that women face
regarding access to essential services, housing security,
liveability and mobility. The second part of the book critically
examines programs, projects and ideas that are working to make
cities safer. Building Inclusive Cities takes a cross-cultural
learning perspective from action research occurring throughout the
world and translates this research into theoretical
conceptualizations to inform the literature on planning and urban
management in both developing and developed countries. This book is
intended to inspire both thought and action.
The divide between the digital and the real world no longer exists:
we are connected all the time. How do we find out who we are within
this digital era? Where do we create the space to explore our
identity? How can we come together and create solidarity? The
glitch is often dismissed as an error, a faulty overlaying, but, as
Legacy Russell shows, liberation can be found within the fissures
between gender, technology and the body that it creates. The glitch
offers the opportunity for us to perform and transform ourselves in
an infinite variety of identities. In Glitch Feminism, Russell
makes a series of radical demands through memoir, art and critical
theory, and the work of contemporary artists who have travelled
through the glitch in their work. Timely and provocative, Glitch
Feminism shows how the error can be a revolution.

Quilts and Human Rights offers a new understanding of the history
of global human rights as seen through textiles of awareness and
activism. Of all the textile forms linked to human rights
activities, one form—the quilt—has proved an especially potent
and popular form for individuals, working alone or as part of
organized groups, to subversively or overtly act for human rights.
Through a description of this activity over time and space, Quilts
and Human Rights advances awareness of critical human rights
issues: suffrage, race relations, civil wars, natural disasters,
HIV/AIDs, and ethnic, sexual, and gender discrimination. Quilts and
Human Rights pays tribute to the individuals who have used needle
skills to prick the conscience and encourage action against human
rights violations.

“IN MANY LANGUAGES, ‘UNDERSTANDING’ ALSO COMES FROM THE IDEA
OF PUTTING SOMETHING INSIDE YOUR BODY” – CAMILLE HENROT Over
the past twenty years, Camille Henrot has developed a critically
acclaimed practice that moves seamlessly between drawing, painting,
sculpture, installation, and film. Mother Tongue is Henrot’s
first publication focused solely on painting and drawing, bringing
together over 200 works from the series System of Attachment, Wet
Job, and Soon, created between 2018 and 2022. This recent body of
work addresses the ambivalent nature of care and the tension
between the simultaneous developmental need for attachment and
independence, beginning at infancy and continuing throughout life.
Her deeply personal and intimate interrogations ultimately relate
to broader questions such as the expectations placed on mothers and
the representation of the female body. This richly illustrated
catalogue is accompanied by texts from Emily LaBarge, Legacy
Russell, Marcus Steinweg, Hélene Cixous, Seamus Kealy, and a
conversation with Camille Henrot and curator Julika Bosch.
Designed exclusively for use with The Practice of Statistics by
Darren Starnes, Josh Tabor, David Moore and Daniel Yates, the
Strive for a Five Guide helps students evaluate their understanding
of the material covered in the textbook, develop conceptual
understanding and communication skills, and ultimately prepare for
success, equipping them with all the skills needed to excel on the
AP (R) Statistics Exam. This book is divided into two sections. The
first is a study guide to be used throughout the AP Statistics
course, and the second includes preparation with additional AP (R)
test strategies, including two full-length AP (R) style practice
exams, each with 40 multiple-choice questions, 5 free response
questions and finished with an investigative task. These features
better enforce students' understanding of the subject.
