Contemporary Practice in Studio Art Therapy discovers where studio
practice stands in the profession today and reflects on how
changing social, political, and economic contexts have influenced
its ethos and development. This is the first UK volume devoted to
studio art therapy, and the writers explore what is meant by a
studio approach and how they are adapting art-based practices in
radical new ways and settings. It comprises three parts - Part I:
Frames of reference explores how particular social, cultural, and
political contexts have led to the discourses within practice; Part
II: Models of practice gives accounts of current studio art therapy
practice, describing rationale for working methods and providing a
resource for practitioners; Part III: Curating, exhibiting and
archiving considers how the display and disposal of artworks,
particularly relevant to studio approaches, may be thought about
and implemented. The book includes chapters from North American
authors who illustrate a trajectory of practice that has the
potential to point to future developments. The book will be
essential reading for practitioners and students who are interested
in taking a fresh perspective on art therapy and will be encouraged
by new ways of thinking about the studio approach in today's
changing world.

In Race and the Senses, Sachi Sekimoto and Christopher Brown
explore the sensorial and phenomenological materiality of race as
it is felt and sensed by the racialized subjects. Situating the
lived body as an active, affective, and sensing participant in
racialized realities, they argue that race is not simply marked on
our bodies, but rather felt and registered through our senses. They
illuminate the sensorial landscape of racialized world by combining
the scholarship in sensory studies, phenomenology, and
intercultural communication. Each chapter elaborates on the felt
bodily sensations of race, racism, and racialization that
illuminate how somatic labor plays a significant role in the
construction of racialized relations of sensing. Their
thought-provoking theorizing about the relationship between race
and the senses include race as a sensory assemblage, the
phenomenology of the racialized face and tongue, kinesthetic
feelings of blackness, as well as the possibility of cross-racial
empathy. Race is not merely socially constructed, but
multisensorially assembled, engaged, and experienced. Grounded in
the authors' experiences, one as a Japanese woman living in the
USA, and the other as an African American man from Chicago, Race
and the Senses is a book about how we feel the racialized world
into being.
London is the only city in the world where you could ever find
Gilbert and George sharing space with the Gherkin and the Globe
while the Great Fire burns and a gin drinker glugs her favorite
tipple, and where members of the Bloomsbury Group hail a black cab
while barrage balloons hover over Broadcasting House during the
Blitz. In A London Alphabet, Christopher Brown presents a series of
wonderfully whimsical linocuts illustrating every aspect of London
past and present, including personalities, buildings, monuments,
legends, historic events, and other metropolitan icons. From
Dickens, Dr Johnson, Tower Bridge, and the Shard to the Diamond
Jubilee, Wimbledon, pigeons, and jellied eels, all London life is
here. A born-and-bred Londoner, Brown recounts his own memories of
growing up in the capital, and also describes how he creates his
distinctive prints. His unique, often humorous take on London will
delight anyone who lives in or visits the city.
This special issue of the Peabody Journal of Education explores
issues of access and equity in post-secondary education.

In recent years debates about the nature and future of the West
have been high on the political agenda. Prognoses of the West's
imminent demise have been countered by those arguing for its
continued relevance, or those arguing that while the West will
survive its nature, and the balance of power between its
constituent units, is transforming. This book argues that
understanding contemporary developments requires subjecting the
very idea of the West to critical scrutiny and in particular asking
what kind of concept it actually is. Locating the West as a
discursive concept the book argues attempts to save, fix or reclaim
the meaning of the West are illustrative of political agendas
rather than indicative of accurate claims about the essential
nature of the West. In contrast, the book argues that as a concept
the West is impregnated with various discursive legacies, the most
embedded of which are those of a civilisational, modern and
political West. However, while attempts to define the West's
essence are therefore doomed to fail, given the concept's
historical and discursive flexibility, such attempts reaffirm the
legitimising role which claims to the West continue to perform.
Beyond this, the book challenges traditional genealogies of the
West, which overwhelmingly depict the West as an inside-out
concept. In contrast, the book argues that historically outsiders
have played an important role in defining the nature of the West
and constituting it as a political subject; processes that remain
evident today. This book will particularly interest students of
critical security studies, critical geopolitics, European politics,
American politics and IR theory.

This book examines colleges and universities across the diaspora
with majority African, African-American, and other Black designated
student enrolments. Research confirms that these campuses possess a
flourishing landscape with racial, economic, and gender diversity
while sharing a Black identity created through global
racialization. Globally, Black colleges and universities create
academic and social environments where different races, sexes,
cultures, languages, nationalities, and citizenship status coexist,
enabling academic achievement, civic engagement, and colonial
resistance. This volume highlights racial hegemony in
multi-national student experiences and achievement; examines the
social and career implications of attendance on lifelong success;
explores the impact of global Black marginalization and racist
ideology on Black college communities; and explores the role gender
plays in outcomes and attainment. This timely work engages the
diversity of Black colleges and universities and explains their
critical role in promoting academic excellence in higher education.
The novel is as tense and thrilling as any of Brown's work, and as
full of rage and hope. It's a novel that truly reckons with the
enormity of both our climate emergency and the system that produced
it - a tale of human imperfection and redemption. -- Cory Doctorow,
bestselling author of Walkaway In this second dystopian legal
thriller from the author of the acclaimed Rule of Capture and
Tropic of Kansas, lawyer Donny Kimoe juggles two intertwined cases
whose outcomes will determine the course of America's future--and
his own. In the aftermath of a second American revolution, peace
rests on a fragile truce. The old regime has been deposed, but the
ex-president has vanished, escaping justice for his crimes. Some
believe he is dead. Others fear he is in hiding, gathering forces.
As the factions in Washington work to restore order, Donny Kimoe is
in court to settle old scores--and pay his own debts come due.
Meanwhile, the rebels Donny once defended are exacting their own
kind of justice. In the ruins of New Orleans, they are building a
green utopia--and kidnapping their defeated adversaries to pay for
it. The newest hostage is the young heiress to a fortune made from
plundering the country--and the daughter of one of Donny's oldest
friends. In a desperate gambit to save his own skin, Donny switches
sides to defend her before the show trial. If he fails, so will the
truce, dragging the country back into violence. But by taking the
case, he risks his last chance to expose the atrocities of the
dictatorship--and being tried for his own crimes against the
revolution. To save the future, Donny has to gamble his own. The
only way out is to find the evidence that will get both sides back
to the table, and secure a more lasting peace. To do that, Donny
must betray his clients' secrets. Including one explosive secret
hidden in the ruins, the discovery of which could extinguish the
last hope for a better tomorrow--or, if Donny plays it right, keep
it burning.
Re-envisages what we know about African political economies through
its examination of one of the key questions in colonial and African
history, that of commercial agriculture and its relationship to
slavery. This book considers commercial agriculture in Africa in
relation to the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the institution of
slavery within Africa itself, from the beginnings of Afro-European
maritime trade in the fifteenth century to the early stages of
colonial rule in the twentieth century. For Europeans, the export
of agricultural produce represented a potential alternative to the
slave trade from the outset and there was recurrent interest in
establishing plantations in Africa or in purchasing crops from
African producers. This idea gained greater currency in the context
of the movement for the abolition of the slave trade from the late
eighteenth century onwards, when the promotion of commercial
agriculture in Africa was seen as a means of suppressing the slave
trade. Robin Law is Emeritus Professor of African History,

What is the purpose of black colleges? Why do black colleges
continue to exist? Are black colleges necessary? Historically Black
colleges and universities (HBCUs) are at the same time the least
studied and the least understood institutions of higher education
and the most maligned and the most endangered. This unique study
examines the mission of four-year HBCUs from the perspective of the
campus president, as a foundation for understanding the relevance
and role of these institutions. This is the first research to focus
on the role of presidents of black colleges; is based on extensive
interviews with fifteen presidents; and takes into particular
account the type of campus environments in which they operate.
Unlike community colleges, women's colleges, men's colleges, and
Hispanic-serving colleges, Black colleges are racially identifiable
institutions. They also vary significantly in, among other
characteristics: size, control (public or private), religious
affiliation, gender composition, and available resources. Although
united in the historic mission of educating African Americans, each
black college or university has its own identity and set of
educational objectives. The book examines how presidents define and
implement mission in the context of their campuses, view the
challenges they face, and confront the factors that promote or
hinder implementation of their missions.

Young Rembrandt concentrates on the first ten years of the career
of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669). Born in Leiden, he trained there
with Isaac van Swanenburg and in Amsterdam with Pieter Lastman.
After a short stay in Amsterdam he returned to Leiden and set up a
studio where he began his extraordinary career, painting scenes
from the Bible and classical mythology and history, as well as a
handful of genre scenes and portraits. His progress is remarkable:
from the earliest hesitant paintings of the Five Senses in about
1624 to the wonderfully assured Jeremiah of 1630 it is almost
possible to trace his development and his increasing fluency and
self-confidence from month to month and certainly from year to
year.
Re-envisages what we know about African political economies through
its examination of one of the key questions in colonial and African
history, that of commercial agriculture and its relationship to
slavery. This book considers commercial agriculture in Africa in
relation to the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the institution of
slavery within Africa itself, from the beginnings of European
maritime trade in the fifteenth century to theearly stages of
colonial rule in the twentieth century. From the outset, the export
of agricultural produce from Africa represented a potential
alternative to the slave trade: although the predominant trend was
to transport enslaved Africans to the Americas to cultivate crops,
there was recurrent interest in the possibility of establishing
plantations in Africa to produce such crops, or to purchase them
from independent African producers. Thisidea gained greater
currency in the context of the movement for the abolition of the
slave trade from the late eighteenth century onwards, when the
promotion of commercial agriculture in Africa was seen as a means
of suppressing the slave trade. At the same time, the slave trade
itself stimulated commercial agriculture in Africa, to supply
provisions for slave-ships in the Middle Passage. Commercial
agriculture was also linked to slavery within Africa, since slaves
were widely employed there in agricultural production. Although
Abolitionists hoped that production of export crops in Africa would
be based on free labour, in practice it often employed enslaved
labour, so that slaveryin Africa persisted into the colonial
period. Robin Law is Emeritus Professor of African History,

Shades of Green examines the impact of political, economic,
religious, and scientific institutions on environmental activism
around the world. The book highlights the diversity of national,
regional and international environmental activism, showing that the
term "environmentalism" covers an entire range of perceptions,
values and interests. It demonstrates that each instance of
environmental activism is shaped by historically unique
circumstances, highlighting within each chapter the ideological,
social, and political origins of efforts to protect the
environment. Discussing issues unique to different parts of the
world, Shades of Green shows that environmentalism around the globe
has been strengthened, weakened, or suppressed by a variety of
local, national, and international concerns, politics, and social
realities.
Assessment in Art Therapy gives a unique insight into the diverse
contemporary practices that constitute assessment in art therapy,
providing an overview of the different approaches employed in
Britain and the USA today. This professional handbook comprises
three parts. 'Sitting Beside' explores the discursive and the
relational in art therapy assessments with adults and children in
different settings. 'Snapshots from the Field' presents a series of
short, practice-based reports which describe art therapists working
in private practice, secure settings and community mental health
centres. 'A More Distant Calculation' consists of chapters that
describe the development and use of different kinds of art-based
assessment procedures developed on both sides of the Atlantic, as
well as different kinds of research about art therapy assessment.
Both students and practitioners alike will benefit from the wealth
of experience presented in this book, which demonstrates how art
therapists think about assessment; the difficulties that arise in
art therapy assessment; and the importance of developing the theory
and practice of art therapy assessment, whilst taking into account
the changing demands of systems and institutions.
