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.

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.
Alabama Quilts: Wilderness through World War II, 1682-1950 is a
look at the quilts of the state from before Alabama was part of the
Mississippi Territory through the Second World War - a period of
268 years. The quilts are examined for their cultural context -
that is, within the community and time in which they were made, the
lives of the makers, and the events for which they were made.
Starting as far back as 1682, with a fragment that research
indicates could possibly be the oldest quilt in America, the volume
covers quilting in Alabama up through 1950. There are seven
sections in the book to represent each time period of quilting in
Alabama, and each section discusses the particular factors that
influenced the appearance of the quilts, such as migration and
population patterns, socioeconomic conditions, political climate,
lifestyle paradigms, and historic events. Interwoven in this
narrative are the stories of individuals associated with certain
quilts, as recorded on quilt documentation forms. The book also
includes over 265 beautiful photographs of the quilts and their
intricate details. To make this book possible, authors Mary
Elizabeth Johnson Huff and Carole Ann King worked with libraries,
historic homes, museums, and quilt guilds around the state of
Alabama, spending days on formal quilt documentation, while also
holding lectures across the state and informal ""quilt sharings.""
The efforts of the authors involved so many community people - from
historians, preservationists, librarians, textile historians, local
historians, museum curators, and genealogists to quilt guild
members, quilt shop owners, and quilt owners - making Alabama
Quilts not only a celebration of the quilting culture within the
state but also the many enthusiasts who have played a role in
creating and sustaining this important art.
