The Harlem Renaissance, an exciting period in the social and cultural history of the US, has over the past few decades re-established itself as a watershed moment in African American history. However, many of the African American communities outside the urban center of Harlem that participated in the Harlem Renaissance between 1914 and 1940, have been overlooked and neglected as locations of scholarship and research. Harlem Renaissance in the West: The New Negro's Western Experience will change the way students and scholars of the Harlem Renaissance view the efforts of artists, musicians, playwrights, club owners, and various other players in African American communities all over the American West to participate fully in the cultural renaissance that took hold during that time.
African Americans and the Presidency explores the long history
of African American candidates for President and Vice President,
examining the impact of each candidate on the American public, as
well as the contribution they all made toward advancing racial
equality in America. Each chapter takes the story one step further
in time, through original essays written by top experts, giving
depth to these inspiring candidates, some of whom are familiar to
everyone, and some whose stories may be new.
Presented with illustrations and a detailed timeline, African Americans and the Presidency provides anyone interested in African American history and politics with a unique perspective on the path carved by the predecessors of Barack Obama, and the meaning their efforts had for the United States.
In the 1980s and early 1990s the scholarly analysis of the Harlem
Renaissance became more sophisticated, reflecting increasing
interest in the field of African American studies. This volume
collects writings that reflect the major changes in the scholarship
and the increased emphasis on the role of women in the movement, as
well as the application of the methodologies and insights of race
and gender studies. In addition, the last 15 years have seen
increased interest in the Harlem Renaissance on the part of
European and African scholars, and these international perspectives
are also included.
This volume tracks the many surveys of black literature created during the Harlem Renaissance. Noted works by such authors as Sterling Brown, Benjamin Brawley, and Langston Hughes are covered. Retrospectives also appeared in the journal "Phylon," and many of those also appear in this collection.

Black writers and intellectuals struggled to articulate an aesthetic for African American literature and to define the appropriate relationship between an African American literary movement and the racial politics of the United States in the 1920s and 1930s. This volume contains examples of the literature of the 1920s-one element of a black cultural movement that included music, art, and theater. These critics explored the Southern and African roots of black culture, and the impact of race and urbanization on the African American experience.
This book is an analysis and a set of tools of analysis to explain and understand why, when, where, and how the United States and its major NATO allies will agree or disagree on a collective policy regarding using military force abroad.
Environmental Chemistry is a relatively young science. Interest in this subject, however, is growing very rapidly and, although no agreement has been reached as yet about the exact content and limits of this interdisciplinary discipline, there appears to be increasing interest in seeing environmental topics which are based on chemistry embodied in this subject. One of the first objectives of Environmental Chemistry must be the study of the environment and of natural chemical processes which occur in the environment. A major purpose of this series on Environmental Chemistry, therefore, is to present a reasonably uniform view of various aspects of the chemistry of the environment and chemical reactions occurring in the environment. The industrial activities of man have given a new dimension to Environmental Chemistry. We have now synthesized and described over five million chemical compounds and chemical industry produces about hundred and fifty million tons of synthetic chemicals annually. We ship billions of tons of oil per year and through mining operations and other geophysical modifications, large quantities of inorganic and organic materials are released from their natural deposits. Cities and metropolitan areas of up to 15 million inhabitants produce large quantities of waste in relatively small and confined areas. Much of the chemical products and waste products of modern society are released into the environment either during production, storage, transport, use or ultimate disposal. These released materials participate in natural cycles and reactions and frequently lead to interference and disturbance of natural systems.
This book""examines diplomatic influence and collective decision-making within the transatlantic security regime, focusing on the four major member states of NATO: France, Germany, the UK, and the United States. Two cases of post-Cold War transatlantic military intervention are examined in which regime member states sought to develop and adopt a single, collective policy on the use of military force outside of NATO's territorial area of operations: Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo. The question is, what conditions or factors increase or decrease the likelihood of the member states of the transatlantic security regime adopting a common, collective policy with regard to military intervention in a given case? The author answers that question by testing the roles of six alternative rival explanations: power, threat perception, international institutions, risk analysis, perceptual lenses, and domestic political pressures.

The Harlem Renaissance was the most significant event in African
American intellectual and cultural life in the twentieth century.
Its most obvious manifestation was in a self-conscious literary
movement, but it touched almost every component of African American
creative culture in the period from World War I through the Great
Depression: music, the visual arts, theater, and literature. It
also affected politics, social development, and almost every phase
of the African American experience in the 1920s and 1930s. This anthology concentrates on the literary aspects of the
Harlem Renaissance, though it does include several examples of the
visual arts associated with the movement. The literary texts are
arranged more or less chronologically; for the most part shorter
pieces have been selected that could be presented in their
entirety. There are some excerpts from longer works. All of the
major authors are represented as well as some less well known. This
anthology also includes selections that help frame the history of
the movement, several essays on the Harlem Renaissance, as well as
some critism contemporary to the writing. Concluding with a bibliography, this volume serves as a brief introduction to the Harlem Renaissance, its writers, and the rich body of literature they produced.

"People around the world remember Anthony of Padua in novenas and
as the saint who finds lost objects. But he is also honored as a
great spiritual guide and teacher of God's word." --From the
Introduction
Friar Jack wants you to know: God loves and cares for all creatures, including and especially those we are closest to! "Today at school, one of the kids told me that only humans go to heaven," my young friend, Eva Maria said. "I almost started to cry. Is that true, Friar Jack?" She went on, "My dog Daisy is my best friend. When I go home she jumps into my arms and licks my face. Wouldn't God want her to be with me in heaven?" Eva Marie looked at me, waiting for my answer..."We don't know everything God has planned for us in heaven," I told Eva. "But there are many good reasons for you to believe that your dog, cat, fish, hamster, snake, ferret, iguana-or any other creature that God created-will go to heaven when it dies. God has given us clues and hints in stories from the Bible and in the teachings of my favorite saint, Francis of Assisi..." This charming book is the children's edition of the Paraclete bestseller, I Will See You in Heaven (more than 25,000 copies sold). It comforts and explains to children that God loves and cares for all creatures, including and especially those we are close to. Includes a presentation page for gift-giving.
