In Linguistic Landscaping and the Pacific Region: Colonization,
Indigenous Identities, and Critical Discourse Theory, Diane
Elizabeth Johnson provides four case studies, each exploring the
use of language in public spaces in an area of the Pacific in which
colonization has played a major role: The Kingdom of
Hawai‘i/Hawai‘i, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Kanaky/New Caledonia,
and Tahiti. Each of these studies is informed by critical discourse
theory, highlighting the ways in which hegemonic structures may be
established, reinforced, and— particularly in times of
crisis—contested and overturned. The book introduces the case
studies in the context of a parallel introduction to the Pacific
region, critical discourse theory, and research on linguistic
landscapes. The critical discussion is accessible to students and
others who are approaching these contexts and theories for the
first time, while also locating the author’s work in relation to
existing scholarship. Johnson urges readers to listen carefully to
the voices of indigenous peoples at a time when the danger of
Western certainties has been fully exposed.

This book investigates how identities for West African women are
created and recreated through the broad interplay of Nollywood film
viewing on social and individual levels. Since many Nollywood films
are freely accessible online, the role of online communities
repurposes Nollywood films. Female Narratives in Nollywood
Melodramas addresses if this is a good or bad promoter of critical
consciousness, as many of the films depict the stifling of women.
The authors examine nine Nollywood melodramas through Black
feminist, cultivation, audience reception, and social identity
theories. Readers will gain an understanding of how Nollywood is a
product and contributor to evolving processes of globalization.
Recommended for scholars of film studies, communication, African
studies, and women studies.

Politics and the Past offers an original, multidisciplinary
exploration of the growing public controversy over reparations for
historical injustices. Demonstrating that 'reparations politics'
has become one of the most important features of international
politics in recent years, the authors analyze why this is the case
and show that reparations politics can be expected to be a major
aspect of international affairs in coming years. In addition to
broad theoretical and philosophical reflection, the book includes
discussions of the politics of reparations in specific countries
and regions, including the United States, France, Latin America,
Japan, Canada, and Rwanda. The volume presents a nuanced,
historically grounded, and critical perspective on the many
campaigns for reparations currently afoot in a variety of contexts
around the world. All readers working or teaching in the fields of
transitional justice, the politics of memory, and social movements
will find this book a rich and provocative contribution to this
complex debate.
Elizabeth Johnson's Resistance and Empowerment in Black Women's
Hair Styling develops the argument that one way Black women define
themselves and each other, is by the way they style/groom their
hair via endorsement by the media through advertisement, idealized
identification of Black female celebrities, and encouragement by
professional celebrity hair stylists who serve as change agents. As
a result, hair becomes a physical manifestation of their
self-identity, revealing a private and personal mindset. Her
research answers the following questions: What is the relationship
between Black females' choice of hairstyles/grooming and
transmitted messages of aesthetics by the dominant culture through
culturally specific magazines?; What role do the natural hair
blogs/vlogs play as a change agent in encouraging or discouraging
consumers grooming their hair in its natural state?; What impact
does a globalized consumer market of Black hair care products have
on Hispanic/Latinas and Bi-Racial women?; Are Black female
Generation Y members more likely to receive backlash for failure to
conform their hair to dominant standards in their hair adornment in
the workplace? Johnson thus demonstrates that the major concern
from messages sent to Black women about their hair is its impact on
Black identity. Thus, the goal of Black women should be to break
with hegemonic modes of seeing, thinking, and being for full
liberation. This critical and deep consciousness will debunk the
messages told to Black women that their kinky, frizzy, thick hair
is undesirable, bad, unmanageable, and shackling.

The essays, research studies, and pedagogical examples in this book
provide a window into the embodied dimensions of literacy and a
toolbox for interpreting, building on, and inquiring into the range
of ways people communicate and express themselves as literate
beings. The contributors investigate and reflect on the
complexities of embodied literacies, honoring literacy learners and
teachers as they holistically engage with texts in complex
sociopolitical, historical, and cultural contexts. Considering
these issues within a multiplicity of education spaces and literacy
events inside and outside of institutional contexts, the book
offers a fresh lens and rhetoric with which to address literacy
education policies, giving readers a discursive repertoire
necessary to develop and defend responsive curricula within an
increasingly high-stakes, standardized schooling climate.

This collection, marking the centenary of Avery Dulles's birth,
makes an entirely distinctive contribution to contemporary
theological discourse as we approach the second century of the
cardinal's influence, and the twenty-first of Christian witness in
the world. Moving beyond a festschrift, the volume offers both
historical analyses of Dulles's contributions and applications of
his insights and methodologies to current issues like immigration,
exclusion, and digital culture. It includes essays by Dulles's
students, colleagues, and peers, as well as by emerging scholars
who have been and continue to be indebted to his theological vision
and encyclopedic fluency in the ecclesiological developments of the
post-conciliar Church. Though focused more on Catholic and
ecumenical affairs than interreligious ones, the volume is
intentionally outward-facing and strives to make clear the diverse
and pluralistic contours of the cardinal's nearly unrivaled impact
on the North American Church, which truly crossed ideological,
denominational, and generational boundaries. While critically
recognizing the limits and lacunae of his historical moment, it
serves as one among a multitude of testaments to the notion that
the ripples of Avery Dulles's influence continue to widen toward
intellectually distant shores.
