This important interdisciplinary book is a unique and timely
contribution to the field of women in the arts. Each chapter is
devoted to a single artist and a single ground-breaking work that
altered the course of its art form in a full array of genres,
including dance, music, installation, photography, architecture,
poetry, literature, theater, film, performance art, and popular
culture. These discussions are preceded by a comprehensive
introduction to art by women over the past century that sets the
artists who follow in a context that insightfully illuminates their
struggles, their achievements, and their places in history at a
critical moment in the contemporary world. In this second edition,
the authors have made a significant update with six new chapters,
new photos, and a revised introduction. The new chapters take as
their subjects the contributions of Yoko Ono, Crystal Pite,
Caroline Shaw, Beyonce, Kara Walker, and Diane Paulus. Each of the
new chapters represents an artist or a category of art that has
grown in prominence or engaged a significant redefinition in the
contemporary world that was not addressed in the original edition
of the book. Updating this material re-establishes the book's
priority and relevance, especially in its expansion of
representation of artists of color and artists in popular culture,
and reinforces its appeal not only as a popular read, but as a
classroom textbook or resource at the university level.
This handbook examines the effects and influences on child and
youth development of prejudice, discrimination, and inequity as
well as other critical contexts, including implicit bias, explicit
racism, post immigration processes, social policies, parenting and
media influences. It traces the impact of bias and discrimination
on children, from infancy through emerging adulthood with
implications for later years. The handbook explores ways in which
the expanding social, economic, and racial inequities in society
are linked to increases in negative outcomes for children through
exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Chapters examine
a range of ACEs - low income, separation/divorce, family substance
abuse and mental illness, exposure to neighborhood and/or domestic
violence, parental incarceration, immigration and displacement, and
parent loss through death. Chapters also discuss discrimination and
prejudice within the adverse experiences of African American, Asian
American, European American, Latino, Native American, Arab
American, and Sikh as well as LGBTQ youth and non-binary children.
Additionally, the handbook elevates dynamic aspects of resilience,
adjustment, and the daily triumphs of children and youth faced with
issues related to prejudice and differential treatment. Topics
featured in the Handbook include: The intergenerational
transmission of protective parent responses to historical trauma.
The emotional impact of the acting-white accusation. DREAMers and
their experience growing up undocumented in the USA. Online racial
discrimination and its relation to mental health and academic
outcomes. Teaching strategies for preventing bigoted behavior in
class. Emerging areas such as sociopolitical issues, gender
prejudice, and dating violence. The Handbook of Children and
Prejudice is a must-have resource for researchers, graduate
students, clinicians, therapists, and other professionals in
clinical child and school psychology, social work, public health,
developmental psychology, pediatrics, family studies, juvenile
justice, child and adolescent psychiatry, and educational
psychology.
They are laborers, soldiers, refugees, and orphans. In areas of the
world torn by poverty, disease, and war, millions of children are
invisible victims, deprived of home, family, and basic human
rights. Their chances for a stable adult life are extremely slim.
The powerful interdisciplinary volume Vulnerable Children brings a
global child-rights perspective to the lives of indigenous,
refugee, and minority children in and from crisis-prone regions.
Focusing on self-determination, education, security, health, and
related issues, an international panel of scholars examines the
structural and political sources of children's vulnerabilities and
their effects on development. The book analyzes intervention
programs currently in place and identifies challenges that must be
met at both the community and larger policy levels. These chapters
also go a long way to explain the often-blurred line between
vulnerability and resilience. Included in the coverage: Dilemmas of
rights-based approaches to child well-being in an African cultural
context. Poverty and minority children's education in the U.S.:
case study of a Sudanese refugee family. The heterogeneity of young
children's experiences in Kenya and Brazil. A world tour of
interventions for children of a parent with a psychiatric illness.
An exploration of fosterage of Owambo orphans in Namibia. UNICEF in
Colombia: defending and nurturing childhood in media, public, and
policy discourses. Vulnerable Children is a must-have volume for
researchers, graduate students, and
clinicians/professionals/practitioners across a range of fields,

This innovative book applies contemporary and emergent theories of
identity formation to timely questions of identity re/formation and
development in immigrant families across diverse ethnicities and
age groups. Researchers from across the globe examine the ways in
which immigrants from Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America
dynamically adjust, adapt, and resist aspects of their identities
in their host countries as a form of resilience. The book provides
a multidisciplinary approach to studying the multidimensional
complexities of identity development and immigration and offers
critical insights on the experiences of immigrant families. Key
areas of coverage include: Factors that affect identity formation,
readjustment, and maintenance, including individual differences and
social environments. Influences of intersecting immigrant ecologies
such as family, community, and complex multidimensions of culture
on identity development. Current identity theories and their
effectiveness at addressing issues of ethnicity, culture, and
immigration. Research challenges to studying various forms of
identity. Re/Formation and Identity: The Intersectionality of
Development, Culture, and Immigration is an essential resource for
researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as
clinicians, professionals, and policymakers in the fields of
developmental, social, and cross-cultural psychology, parenting and
family studies, social work, and all interrelated disciplines.

This important book provides African American parents with the
knowledge to diversify K-12 school choices beyond traditional
neighborhood public schools in order to optimize the educational
chances of their own children, and it will help educators and
policymakers to close the black-white academic achievement gap
throughout America. Closing the K-12 achievement gap is critical to
the future welfare of African American individuals, families, and
communities-and to the future of our nation as a whole. The
black-white academic achievement gap-the significant statistical
difference in academic performance between African American
students and their white peers-is the single greatest impediment to
achieving racial equality and social justice in America. Black
Educational Choice provides parents, citizens, educators, and
policymakers the critical knowledge they need to leverage the
national trend toward increasing and diversifying K-12 school
choice beyond traditional neighborhood public schools. Parents can
use this information to optimize the success of their own African
American children, while policymakers and educators can apply these
insights to help close the black-white academic achievement gap
throughout America. The book collects the interdisciplinary,
multi-racial, and multi-ethnic perspectives of education experts to
address the questions of millions of anxious African American
families: "Would sending our children to a private school or a
charter school significantly better their chances of closing the
achievement gap and becoming successful individuals? And if so,
what kinds of challenges would they likely experience in these
alternative educational settings?" Contributions from distinguished
scholars and their apprentices from education and other diverse
fields in the social and behavioral sciences
Since 1970 increasing percentages of Black students have enrolled
in all types of private schools in diverse, though predominantly
urban, regions of the nation. Since more than 90 percent of all
Black students receive instruction in public schools, it is perhaps
not surprising that researchers have paid scant attention to the
educational status of the minority who have attended independently
funded schools. The authors of this book present the first
systematic treatment of the subject, looking at all aspects of the
educational experiences of the Black children in private and
parochial schools, and they explore the implications of private
schooling for educational policy and future research. The editors'
introduction provides an overview of the educational situation of
Black children, focusing on the interface between the children,
their families, and academic achievement in their schools. The
organization of the volume reflects the diversity of private school
types attended by Black children. Issues discussed are related to
Black parent and student experiences in desegregated elite private
schools, parochial schools, and predominantly Black private
schools. The parental involvement in the schools is addressed as
well as alternative types of organizational support systems for the
Black students. Also discussed are the findings of recent research
and information related to Educational Policy issues: research
related to parental choice of private schooling, research on the
racial coping strategies of parents of children in predominantly
Black independent schools, educational policy issues and
implications, for both private and public schools. The volume
concludes with discussion oftheoretical and research issues
associated with the policy implications of their experiences for
both public and private education.
