With the recent conservative retrenchment, educational institutions
have witnessed a backlash against the gains made by feminist and
anti-racist activists. This volume examines higher education as one
site of this backlash, at the same time challenging the binary
framing of discourse as "reactionary" versus "progressive," or
Right versus Left. This text draws together contributors working
within and across a variety of disciplines including law, history,
sociology, education, literature, women's studies, queer theory,
cultural politics and postcolonialism. The volume presents
contesting voices and positions on whether or not the concepts of
backlash and anti-oppression can adequately explain the historical
and political development of social movements and radical
educational practice. Contributors include: Himani Bannerji,
Richard Cavell, Patricia Elliot, Didi Herman, Alice Pitt, Howard
Soloman and Aruna Srivastava.

From Simon & Schuster, Lifebalance is Linda and Richard Eyre's
guide on how to simplify and bring harmony to your everyday life.
Espousing an approach to living that emphasizes balance between
personal and professional demands, a new guide shows readers how to
make and stick to decisions that will help make sense of often
contradictory demands on their time.
Filled with invaluable know-how, this easy-to-follow guide from the
authors of the #1 national bestseller Teaching Your Children Values
presents practical advice for teaching children how to take a
joyful, positive, and optimistic approach to life.
The methods described in Three Steps to a Strong Family aim to help
parents give children a sense of security and stability and prepare
them for the adult world. Linda and Richard Eyre's Three Steps to a
Strong Family shows how to create a family legal system, a family
economy and a sense of family identity which work together to
provide rules, limits and goals.
Linda Eyre, who co-authored the "New York Times" bestseller
"Teaching Your Children Values," has nine children. She knows that
although no mother "plans" to be a witch, there are times when
every mother does a terrific job of playing the part.
In her reassuring and hilarious report on being a mother in
today's hectic world, Linda honestly describes not only the vital
importance and magnificent moments of motherhood, but also those
days when mothers feel they are living in a Roadrunner cartoon that
never ends. She shares her own experiences with managing
unmanageable schedules, coping with mealtime chaos, trying to find
time for herself, and the sometimes desperate measures and
compromises that are necessary to get it all done (and even then,
not always). Whether offering advice on streamlining your life,
coping with the martyr syndrome, or ignoring the outrageous demands
of toddlers and teens with serenity and grace (or not), Linda Eyre
speaks with the voice of experience.
Linda and Richard Eyre stress that it's never too soon-or too
late-to start discussing sex and values with your children, and
they've got proven strategies to make it easier. "How to Talk to
Your Child About Sex" provides thoughtful, clear, specific guidance
on when and, most important, "how" to help children begin to
understand sex, love, and commitment from the most positive
viewpoint possible.

We all know that an attitude of gratitude helps each day be a
little better. When times are difficult and challenges abound,
having a thankful heart is the catalyst for the abundant life.
Daily Thanks, by bestselling family authors Richard and Linda Eyre,
is a book to keep or a book to give, filled with original poems and
famous quotes about gratitude, inspiring images, and daily
opportunities to record your grateful moment for even the most
difficult day. Each month features a challenge to exercise
gratitude in a specific area of life, keeping an attitude of
gratitude alive long after the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone. In
this beautiful journal, we find the opportunity to consciously and
deliberately develop our own skill to feel gratitude more deeply,
and give it more freely.
