Oona is one determined little mermaid, but she faces her biggest
challenge yet in trying to make friends with Stanley the shark.
Whatever will she do? A fun-filled and gorgeously illustrated
celebration of friendship, creativity and perseverance. Oona loves
to share her inventions with her friends. They're big and bold and
loud - just like her! But there's one underwater creature who
doesn't seem to enjoy Oona's company, or her creations. And that's
Stanley the shark! Oona's latest hopping, chopping and popping
inventions just make him angry. Oona may not know what Stanley
likes, but she does know what he doesn't. And maybe that's a good
place to start. Because mermaids never stop trying . . . not when
there's a friend out there to make. From the New York Times
bestselling author Kelly DiPucchio and featuring the extraordinary
illustrative talents of Raissa Figueroa, the dynamic partnership
behind Oona.

Does the education system help or hinder the fight against racism?
This volume provides a constructive critique of the Swan Report of
1985 and of sociological research into racial and ethnic relations.
The author undertakes a searching philosophical and sociological
analysis of multicultural and antiracist education. He shows how
the education system itself can reinforce racist assumptions and
behaviour in society, but also argues that through educational and
social reconstructing it can promote constructive cross-cultural
relations.

Building off the highly successful The Cyborg Handbook, this new
collection of essays, interviews, and creative pieces brings
together a set of compelling personal accounts about what it means
to live as a cyborg in the twenty-first century. Human integration
with complex technologies goes back to clothes, cooking, and
language, but has accelerated incredibly in the last few centuries,
with interest spreading among scientists, coders, people with
sophisticated implants, theorists, and artists. This collection
includes some of the most articulate of these voices from over 25
countries, including Donna Haraway, Stelarc, Natasha Vita-More,
Steve Mann, Amber Case, Michael Chorost, Moon Ribas, Kevin Warwick,
Sandy Stone, Dion Farquhar, Angeliki Malakasioti, Elif Ayiter,
Heesang Lee, Angel Gordo, and others. Addressing topics including
race, gender, sexuality, class, conflict, capitalism, climate
change, disability and beyond, this collection also explores the
differences between robots, androids, cyborgs, hybrids, post-,
trans-, and techno-humans, offering readers a critical vocabulary
for understanding and discussing the cyborgification of culture and
everyday life. Compelling, interdisciplinary, and international,
the book is a perfect primer for students, researchers, and
teachers of cyberculture, media and cultural theory, and science
fiction studies, as well as anyone interested in the intersections
between human and machine.

Son Jarocho was born as the regional sound of Veracruz but over
time became a Mexican national genre, even transnational, genre-a
touchstone of Chicano identity in the United States. Mario Barradas
and Son Jarocho traces a musical journey from the Gulf Coast to
interior Mexico and across the border, describing the
transformations of Son Jarocho along the way. This comprehensive
cultural study pairs ethnographic and musicological insights with
an oral history of the late Mario Barradas, one of Son Jarocho's
preeminent modern musicians. Chicano musician Francisco Gonzalez
offers an insider's account of Barradas's influence and Son
Jarocho's musical qualities, while Rafael Figueroa Hernandez delves
into Barradas's recordings and films. Yolanda Broyles-Gonzalez
examines the interplay between Son Jarocho's indigenous roots and
contemporary role in Mexican and US society. The result is a
nuanced portrait of a vital and evolving musical tradition.
Modern Jerusalem, a city central to Jewish, Muslim, and Christian
religious imaginaries and the political epicenter of the
Israeli-Palestinian crisis, is to put it mildly a highly contested
space. More surprising, perhaps, is that its musical landscape not
only reflects these rifts but also helped to define them as the
ancient city transitioned to modernity during the twentieth
century. In City of Song: Music and the Making of Modern Jerusalem,
author Michael A. Figueroa argues that musical renderings of
Jerusalem have been critical to the formation of Israeli political
consciousness. The book demonstrates how Israeli songwriters helped
to shape their public's territorial imagination- creating images of
a city at once heavenly and earthly, that dwells in longing, that
must not be forgotten, that compels one to bereave the dead, that
represents the fulfilment of prophecy, and that is the site of
immense cultural diversity. The dynamic history of its
representation in lyrics and music helps dispel any notion that the
Israeli-Palestinian crisis is timeless, intractable, and based on
static, essential identities; while there are continuities across
historical divides, radical change constantly transpires. City of
Song combines analyses of musical meaning, political discourse, and
public performance over the long twentieth century (1880s-2010) to
reveal how the Israeli-Palestinian crisis' territorial fixation on
Jerusalem has been constructed, historically contingent, and
subject to artistic intervention in modernity. Through a musical
history of Jerusalem, Figueroa introduces a novel,
humanities-centered approach to one of the world's most contested
cities, and one of the defining cultural and political questions of
our era.
This pioneering new book brings together an important collection of original essays by leading philosophers exploring an extensive range of diverseissues for the philosophy of science and technology. The essays gathered in this volume extend current philosophical discussion of science and technology beyond the standard feminist and gender analyses that have flourished over the past two decades, by bringing a thorough and truly diverse set of cultural, racial and ethical concerns to bear on questioning in these areas.Science, and Other Cultures charts important new directions in ongoing discussions of science and technology and makes a significant contribution to both scholarly and teaching resources available in the field.
