Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Black Lives and Bathrooms: Racial and Gendered Reactions to
Minority Rights Movements examines how people respond to minority
movements in ways that maintain existing patterns of racial and
gender inequality. By studying the Black Lives Matter and
Transgender Bathroom Access movement efforts, J.E. Sumerau and Eric
Anthony Grollman analyze how cisgender white people define minority
movements in relation to their existing notions of United States
social norms; react to minority movements utilizing racial,
classed, gendered, and sexual stereotypes that reinforce racism,
sexism, and cissexism in society; and propose ways that racial and
gender minorities could gain conditional acceptance by behaving in
ways cisgender white people find more comfortable and normal.
Throughout this work, Sumerau and Grollman note how assumptions
about whiteness and cisnormativity are spread as cisgender white
people respond to racial and gender movements seeking social
change.

This book documents the lived experiences of women of color
academics who have leveraged their professional positions to
challenge the status quo in their scholarship, teaching, service,
activism, and leadership. By presenting reflexive work from various
vantage points within and outside of the academy, contributors
document the cultivation of mentoring relationships, the use of
administrative roles to challenge institutional leadership, and
more. Through an emphasis on the various ways in which women of
color have succeeded in the academy-albeit with setbacks along the
way-this volume aims to change the discourse surrounding women of
color academics: from a focus on trauma and mere survival to a
focus on courage and thriving.

Bringing together fourteen experts from across the United States and Canada, Bereaved Children and Teens is a comprehensive guide to helping children and adolescents cope with the emotional, religious, social, and physical consequences of a loved one's death. The result is an indispensable reference for parents, teachers, counselors, health-care professionals, and clergy. Topics covered include what to say and what not to say when explaining death to very young children; how teenagers grieve differently from children and adults; how to translate Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish beliefs about death into language that children can understand; how ethnic and cultural differences can affect how children grieve; what teachers and parents can do to help bereaved young people at school; and activities, books, and films that help children and teens cope. "In this much-needed book, a group of carefully chosen authorities explore with sensitivity and wisdom the complex problems faced by those young people whom Rabbi Grollman so correctly calls "the forgotten mourners" . . . The authors have given us a work that is direct, thorough and--most of all--useful." --Sherwin B. Nuland, M.D., F.A.C.S. author of How We Die, winner of the 1994 National Book Award
