“Brave, honest, deep and humorous� Jackie Jarvis, like many before, not only answered the calling to walk, but to share the insights and thoughts that accompanied her solo travelling by foot. As Friedrich Nietzsche said, ‘All Truly Great Thoughts are Conceived by Walking’. Packed full of great thoughts that were conceived daily whilst the author walked over 3,000 kilometres across Spain. Jackie takes you with her on her journeys helping you make meaning of her insights. As you read, you too can transform your life by walking with Jackie step by step. ‘A rare combination of a series of epic adventures with a subtly woven insightful diary that provokes deeper self-reflection’ ‘An inspiring and uplifting sharing of in the moment thinking that leaves the reader feeling like they are walking with Jackie on the way’ ‘Personal writing at its best – astonishing honesty combined with both humour and soul-searching truths.’

Busy business owner and coach, Jackie Jarvis, shares her personal journey with honesty and humour. Reaching a point in her life when she felt an urge to slow down and be truer to her heart's desire, she found that the struggle with herself was the biggest challenge of all. She writes about what many of us, living busy, fast paced lives feel. She touches on what deep down we all have the greatest longing for but at the same time are afraid to reach out for, and afraid to give ourselves permission to have. If, like Jackie, you listen to 'The Voice of Slow' and what it has to say to you, you will become inspired to follow her path to slowing down, stressing less and enjoying life more. Read slowly to appreciate the important messages here for you. *This book is based on an earlier version titled 'In Pursuit of Slow'.'In Pursuit of Slow' was an Amazon Bestseller in the Top 50 Self Help category.

"As departments...scramble to decolonize their curriculum, Givens illuminates a longstanding counter-canon in predominantly black schools and colleges." -Boston Review "Informative and inspiring...An homage to the achievement of an often-forgotten racial pioneer." -Glenn C. Altschuler, Florida Courier "A long-overdue labor of love and analysis...that would make Woodson, the ever-rigorous teacher, proud." -Randal Maurice Jelks, Los Angeles Review of Books "Fascinating, and groundbreaking. Givens restores Carter G. Woodson, one of the most important educators and intellectuals of the twentieth century, to his rightful place alongside figures like W. E. B. Du Bois and Ida B. Wells." -Imani Perry, author of May We Forever Stand: A History of the Black National Anthem Black education was subversive from its inception. African Americans pursued education through clandestine means, often in defiance of law and custom, even under threat of violence. They developed what Jarvis Givens calls a tradition of "fugitive pedagogy"-a theory and practice of Black education epitomized by Carter G. Woodson-groundbreaking historian, founder of Black History Month, and legendary educator under Jim Crow. Givens shows that Woodson succeeded because of the world of Black teachers to which he belonged. Fugitive Pedagogy chronicles his ambitious efforts to fight what he called the "mis-education of the Negro" by helping teachers and students to see themselves and their mission as set apart from an anti-Black world. Teachers, students, families, and communities worked together, using Woodson's materials and methods as they fought for power in schools. Forged in slavery and honed under Jim Crow, the vision of the Black experience Woodson articulated so passionately and effectively remains essential for teachers and students today.

Social Media and Oil in Southern California: Greenwashing Los Angeles interrogates the politics of invisibility that permeates Southern California’s oil industry. Most residents are completely unaware that hospitals, schools, businesses, and homes are built among the thousands of active wells in Los Angeles County. Since the early 1900’s, the oil industry used social media to greenwash itself and obscure the material consequences of drilling and refining. From postcards to YouTube, social media has been a key tool in the arsenal of the fossil fuel industry. Jason L. Jarvis argues that oil–not Hollywood–is the key industry that drives the California dream. Scholars of communication, environmental studies, and rhetoric will find this book of particular interest.
