In Nice White Ladies, race and gender professor Jessie Daniels
looks beyond the "Karens" and the pussy hats, to offer an
illuminating look at how white women participate in, benefit from,
and--crucially--can combat racism. Chapter by chapter, Daniels
looks at the most urgent examples of how white womanhood has been
weaponized today, and then dives deeper into the history and the
false narratives behind these events. She examines specific figures
including Amy Cooper and the Central Park birdwatcher, and Linda
Fairstein and the Central Park Five, but also looks at larger
social shifts and the role white women have had in deepening
existing inequalities. Seemingly empowering movements for white
women have also harmed people of color, from a feminism that had
pushed the voices of Brown and Black women aside, to an entire
wellness industry that insulates white women in bubble of their own
privilege. White women are often unwilling to examine the fact that
their day to day choices, including selecting only the best schools
and neighborhoods for their children, results in a hoarding of
resources for white families and a return to segregation. In a
nation deeply divided by race, Jessie Daniels boldly addresses
white women's complicity in discrimination but also in their unique
potential to resist and dismantle the white nationalism that
threatens us all. The stakes are deeply personal for Daniels, as a
white woman seeking to call in fellow white women, with an
invitation to think together and act-rather than simply call out
and criticize. By excavating her own life for examples of failing,
learning, evolving, and changing course, Daniels provides a roadmap
for other white women looking to make much needed change.
Ultimately, she shows how white women can be more than allies, but
trusted accomplices in a shared mission to secure equality for all.
In this exploration of the way racism is translated from the
print-only era to the cyber era the author takes the reader through
a devastatingly informative tour of white supremacy online. The
book examines how white supremacist organizations have translated
their printed publications onto the Internet. Included are examples
of open as well as 'cloaked' sites which disguise white supremacy
sources as legitimate civil rights websites. Interviews with a
small sample of teenagers as they surf the web show how they
encounter cloaked sites and attempt to make sense of them, mostly
unsuccessfully. The result is a first-rate analysis of cyber racism
within the global information age. The author debunks the common
assumptions that the Internet is either an inherently democratizing
technology or an effective 'recruiting' tool for white
supremacists. The book concludes with a nuanced, challenging
analysis that urges readers to rethink conventional ways of knowing
about racial equality, civil rights, and the Internet.

White Lies investigates the white supremacist imagination, and argues instead that the ideology of these groups is much closer to core values than most of us would like to believe, resonating far beyond extremist organizations, and having much in common with discourse produced by our mainstream elected officials and academic intellectuals.
Providing a much needed overview of the growing field of digital
sociology, this handbook connects digital media technologies to the
traditional sociological areas of study, like labour, culture,
education, race, class and gender. Rooted in a critical
understanding of inequality as foundational to digital sociology
and is edited by leaders in the field. It includes topics ranging
from web analytics, wearable technologies, social media analysis
and digital labour. This rigorous, accessible text explores
contemporary dilemmas and problems of the digital age in relation
to inequality, institutions and social identity, making it suitable
for use for a global audience on a variety of social science
courses and beyond. Offering an important step forward for the
discipline of sociology Digital sociologies is an important
intellectual benchmark in placing digital at the forefront of
investigating the social.
What opportunities do digital technologies present? How do
developments in digital media support scholarship and teaching yet
further social justice? Written by two experts in the field, this
accessible book is the first to look at scholarly practice in the
digital era and consider how it can connect academics, journalists
and activists in ways that foster transformation on issues of
social justice. The terra firma of scholarly practice is changing.
This book offers both a road map and a vision of what being a
scholar can be when reimagined in the digital era to enliven the
public good, as it discusses digital innovations in higher
education as well as reflecting upon what these mean in an age of
austerity. It is ideal for students and academics working in any
field of humanities or social sciences with a social justice focus.

At a time when policy discussions are dominated by "I feel" instead
of "I know," it is more important than ever for social scientists
to make themselves heard. When those who possess in-depth training
and expertise are excluded from public debates about pressing
social issues such as climate change, the prison system, or
healthcare vested interests can sway public opinion in uninformed
ways. Yet few graduate students, researchers, or faculty know how
to do this kind of work or feel empowered to do it. While there has
been an increasing call for social scientists to engage more
broadly with the public, concrete advice for starting the
conversation has been in short supply. Arlene Stein and Jessie
Daniels seek to change this with Going Public, the first guide that
truly explains how to be a public scholar. They offer guidance on
writing beyond the academy, including how to get started with
op-eds and articles and later how to write books that appeal to
general audiences. They then turn to the digital realm with
strategies for successfully building an online presence,
cultivating an audience, and navigating the unique challenges of
digital world. They also address some of the challenges facing
those who go public, including the pervasive view that anything
less than scholarly writing isn't serious and the stigma that one's
work might be dubbed "journalistic."Going Public shows that by
connecting with experts, policymakers, journalists, and laypeople,
social scientists can actually make their own work stronger. And by
learning to effectively add their voices to the conversation,
researchers can help make sure that their knowledge is truly heard
above the digital din.
I could not deal with rejection after my failed professional
baseball career. I began to feel like there was no hope for me in
life, and I developed a "don't care" attitude. But I thank God for
a praying mother, who stood on Joshua 24:15; "Choose ye this day
whom you shall serve, but as for me and my house, we shall serve
the Lord." I thank God for a praying grandmother and other family
members too Like a light bulb turning on one day, I was reading a
book by T.D. Jakes and it became clear. The book read, "He or she
whose hope is in God is not hopeless." So I cried out to God for
myself and He heard my cry and saved and delivered me. Today, my
desire is to reach back and help as many as possible to come to
know the Lord Jesus Christ and let them know that they can surely
"Rise Again."
This book is introduced by giving true and actual events that God
inspired me to perform specific duties, with the names and
locations of individuals involved. Specific revelations about
Vanessa Williams, [The first Black Miss America]; Pete Rose,
[Former player for the Cincinnati Reds] and the late, Bob Hayes,
[The fastest human in the world and Dallas Cowboy Player]. Special
revelations about the relationship between the Mexicans and Native
Americans and the part the United States Government will take in
connecting the two; and the Country of Mexico will become a State
within the United States. Instructions are revealed about healing
yourself from all sickness through prayer; and the part false
prophets play in religion in society today.
Topics in this handbook include setting up a home-based business,
writing a grant proposal, writing a loan proposal, keeping business
records, business investments, and writing legal documents. (Legal
