Culturally Responsive and Equitable Evaluation: Visions and Voices
of Emerging Scholars presents an innovative evaluation paradigm
that integrates diversity, equity, and inclusion in all phases of
evaluation. The book spotlights the scholarly, philosophical, and
best practices of emerging Black, Latino/x, Indigenous, and other
scholars and practitioners from historically marginalized
populations in support of culturally responsive and equitable
evaluation (CREE). The book is organized into two major parts with
the first presenting the theoretical and conceptual frameworks that
provide the foundation of CREE and the second spotlighting
practical applications of CREE in various evaluation contexts.
Dedicated chapters examine the importance of positionality,
reflexivity, and strengthening CREE to foster racial equity; and
the ways in which evaluation approaches can empower people and
communities. Readers learn about a Matriarchal Kwe Indigenous
framework for practicing theoretical, cultural, and practical
evaluation; how to embed CREE in the design and evaluation of a
Cliff calculator; Communities of Practice best practices; and more.
Closing chapters focus on CREE application within diverse
communities and feature an overview of modern initiatives that
demonstrate the possibilities available through CREE.

This book offers a new look at the legal and cultural implications
of bequests that crossed the color line. ""Fathers of Conscience""
examines high-court decisions in the antebellum South that involved
wills in which white male planters bequeathed property, freedom, or
both to women of color and their mixed-race children. These men,
whose wills were contested by their white relatives, had used
trusts and estates law to give their slave partners and children
official recognition and thus circumvent the law of slavery. The
will contests that followed determined whether that elevated status
would be approved or denied by courts of law.Bernie D. Jones argues
that these will contests indicated a struggle within the elite over
race, gender, and class issues - over questions of social mores and
who was truly family. Judges thus acted as umpires after a man's
death, deciding whether to permit his attempts to provide for his
slave partner and family. Her analysis of these differing judicial
opinions on inheritance rights for slave partners makes an
important contribution to the literature on the law of slavery in
the United States.
Eternity's inevitable; where will you spend yours?Hidden within the

are you going to do?Will it be heaven or hell? You decide Heaven is
no myth, neither is hell. This book reveals the appointment every
human will face one day; death and judgment according to Hebrews
9:27. Only the Word of God will spare your soul, this book reveals
how. Dare to fight against GodCan a nation, who has turned away

Popular notions of Christian spirituality today tend to focus on
getting us out of the world or getting the world out of us. Many
are looking to spirituality as a means of disengaging from this
life--to experience the transcendent or discover personal
wholeness. On the other hand, much of popular Christian thought
seems to be about avoiding the corruption of the world by being
pious and following the rules. But Jesus offers a radical model for
living. As the Incarnate One who dwelt among us to accomplish the
mission of God, he teaches us how to dwell in the world for the
sake of the world. If we are to become like him, we must learn what
it means to live out this missional spirituality in the places we
dwell. What does a Christian life deeply rooted in the logic of the
Incarnation look like? Missional teacher and pastor Barry Jones
shares his vision for authentic Christian spirituality focused on
becoming more like Jesus. We dwell in a specific place and time in
history, with unique bodies and in a world for which God has great
purposes of redemption. This presence in the world should lead us
to pattern our lives after the life of Jesus who was a boundary
breaker, a shalom-maker, a people-keeper, and a wounded-healer.
"Jesus' life shows us what it looks like to be fully human, to be
whole and holy . . . to be in the world and not of the world, to
live passionately for the world and not protectively withdrawn from
it, " says Jones. "Allowing the logic of the Incarnation to inform
our vision of the spiritual life corrects the tendency toward a
self-oriented pursuit of transcendence or a negative spirituality
of behavior modification and disengagement from the world."
Including practical suggestions for real-life application and
questions for discussion, Jones describes living a missional life
from a place of deep connection with and dependence on God. Not
only must we have a clear and compelling vision of the life we want
to live, but we must also cultivate the spiritual disciplines
necessary to live out our vision in the specific contexts of
day-to-day life. We need a renewed vision of Christian spirituality
that leads us to be conformed into the image of Christ who
dweltwith us for us.
In a collection of compelling contributions to the study of the
nexus between race, crime, and justice, noted scholars in the field
critique many long-held assumptions and myths about race,
challenging criminal justice policymakers to develop new and
effective strategies for dealing with the social problems such
misunderstandings create. In sections devoted to criminological
theory, law enforcement, courts and the law, juvenile delinquency,
and gender, contributors endeavor to dispel myths about
African-American involvement in the criminal justice system. In so
doing, a number of important facts are established about the
race/crime nexus. For example, in an analysis of criminological
theory, it is concluded that race, as a singular social factor, has
not been adequately represented in existing paradigms. The subject
of police profiling of African-Americans reveals an evolution of
court decisions that have marginalized, rather than liberated,
African-Americans since slavery. Each contributor challenges both
the reader and the criminal justice system to develop meaningful
strategies for addressing the racism that still pervades our system
of justice.
A chapter on women of color in prison makes a compelling
argument that such institutions often represent safer environments
than the life on the streets women leave behind. This persuasive
volume will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students
as well as faculty in Sociology, Criminal Justice, policy
development, African-American and Women's Studies.
Over the last decade, the notion of counter-insurgency (COIN) has
risen to prominence as the dominant paradigm in American and
British thinking about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite
the high level of attention paid to the subject by military
analysts, the broader theoretical and historical factors which
underpin counter-insurgency have received comparatively little
critical scrutiny. This volume addresses the gap in existing
scholarship by exploring and challenging several critical aspects
of the prevailing orthodoxy on COIN.This critical reappraisal of
counter-insurgency thinking and practice brings together a number
of international academics and practitioners, providing a
pluralistic insight on the effectiveness of counter-insurgency
operations from military, academic, media and civilian
administrative perspectives. It also combines US and British
insights into the theory and practise of twenty-first century COIN.
With the continuing relevance of 'big third party' COIN to Western
engagement in future wars of choice, this book provides an
important and timely analysis of an issue which will continue to
impact American and British security policy and future
interventions.This book will appeal to scholars of Military
Studies, Strategic Studies, Security Studies and International
Relations and to practitioners and policy-makers working in the
field of counter-insurgency.
This fascinating study explores the multifarious erotic themes
associated with the magic lantern shows, which proved the dominant
visual medium of the West for 350 years, and analyses how the shows
influenced the portrayals of sexuality in major works of Gothic
fiction.
Presenting real-life case studies of child sexual abuse in the
Caribbean as a basis for discussing interventions and models of
practice that are relevant for a wide range of cultural and social
settings, this multi-disciplinary text will be of interest to
scholars, professionals and practitioners alike. Contributors to
this volume demonstrate how sexual abuse is never just a problem of
the individual: structures of inequality and the intersection of
the factors they give rise to help to explain why some children are
more at risk of abuse than others. Furthermore, the sub-systems in
which lives are lived can compound risk and vulnerability or
alternatively, can be sources of support and change. This book
draws on these ideas to discuss practice across a range of service
users: children, adolescent girls, teenage mothers, children with
learning disabilities, fathers, mothers, women who abuse, juvenile
sex offenders and children in residential care. p>
An infant girl is found on the steps of a U.S. Embassy during a
civil war and spirited back to the United States. The family who
adopts her covers up the truth, pretending that the baby is their
own. The fey child grows up with unusual proclivities and
abilities, but her adoptive family takes the girl's intuitions and
premonitions in its stride. Haunted by dreams and images from
another time, the girl eventually realizes that something is
definitely not right. There are just too many synchronicities; too
many unanswered questions. Ultimately, the truth of her adoption
comes out. Helene, now a young woman, armed with her unlikely
clues, small tokens saved by her grandmother from the time she was
found, begins the hunt for her beginnings. With her boyfriend's
support and encouragement, she begins the treasure-hunt. Helene and
Eric travel to Europe where she is convinced the answers lie. Her
quest takes her to a small southern town where she meets a woman
who may hold the key to her mother's whereabouts - if she's alive.

"This is the first sustained study of Samuel Beckett and testimony.
It offers new readings of the problem of unspeakability in Beckett
in relation to testimonial expression and the problems of knowledge
which arise in recent theoretical conceptions of testimony and the
archive"--
