Changes at the global, federal, state, and municipal level are
pushing forward the reparations movement for people of African
descent. The distinguished editors of this volume have gathered
works that chronicle the historical movement for reparations both
in the United States and around the world. Sharing a focus on
reparations as an issue of justice, the contributors provide a
historical primer of the movement; introduce the philosophical,
political, economic, legal and ethical issues surrounding
reparations; explain why government, corporations, universities,
and other institutions must take steps to rehabilitate, compensate,
and commemorate African Americans; call for the restoration of
Black people’s human and civil rights and material and
psychological well-being; lay out specific ideas about how
reparations can and should be paid; and advance cutting-edge
interpretations of the complex long-lasting effects that
enslavement, police and vigilante actions, economic discrimination,
and other behaviors have had on people of African descent.
Groundbreaking and innovative, Reparations and Reparatory Justice
offers a multifaceted resource to anyone wishing to explore a
defining moral issue of our time. Contributors: Dedrick

Up close, Inauguration Day 2021 looked like any other-the chief
justice of the US Supreme Court administering the oath of office to
the new president on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. But pull the
lens back and this was anything but a typical election and
transition of power. In A Return to Normalcy?, Larry Sabato, Kyle
Kondik, and J. Miles Coleman bring together respected journalists,
analysts, and scholars to examine every facet of the stunning 2020
election and its aftermath, and how these events will impact
American politics moving forward. In frank, accessible prose, each
author offers insight that goes beyond the headlines and dives into
the underlying forces and shifts that drove the election from its
earliest developments to its chaotic conclusion. A Return to
Normalcy? will be an indispensable read for political junkies and
all students of American politics.
A renowned grief expert and neuroscientist shares groundbreaking
discoveries about what happens in our brain when we grieve,
providing a new paradigm for understanding love, loss, and
learning. For as long as humans have existed, we have struggled
when a loved one dies. Poets and playwrights have written about the
dark cloak of grief, the deep yearning, how devastating heartache
feels. But until now, we have had little scientific perspective on
this universal experience. In The Grieving Brain, neuroscientist
and psychologist Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD, gives us a fascinating
new window into one of the hallmark experiences of being human.
O'Connor has devoted decades to researching the effects of grief on
the brain, and in this book, she makes cutting-edge neuroscience
accessible through her contagious enthusiasm, and guides us through
how we encode love and grief. With love, our neurons help us form
attachments to others; but, with loss, our brain must come to terms
with where our loved ones went, or how to imagine a future that
encompasses their absence. Based on O'Connor's own trailblazing
neuroimaging work, research in the field, and her real-life
stories, The Grieving Brain does what the best popular science
books do, combining storytelling, accessible science, and practical
knowledge that will help us better understand what happens when we
grieve and how to navigate loss with more ease and grace.
The Quiet Trailblazer recounts Mary Frances Early’s life from her
childhood in Atlanta, her growing interest in music, and her
awakening to the injustices of racism in the Jim Crow South. Early
carefully maps the road to her 1961 decision to apply to the
master’s program in music education at the University of Georgia,
becoming one of only three African American students. With this
personal journey we are privy to her prolonged and difficult
admission process; her experiences both troubling and hopeful while
on the Athens campus; and her historic graduation in 1962. Early
shares fascinating new details of her regular conversations with
civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at Ebenezer Baptist
Church in Atlanta. She also recounts her forty-eight years as a
music educator in the state of Georgia, the Southeast, and at the
national level. She continued to blaze trails within the field and
across professional associations. After Early earned her master’s
and specialist’s degrees, she became an acclaimed Atlanta music
educator, teaching music at segregated schools and later being
promoted to music director of the entire school system. In 1981
Early became the first African American elected president of the
Georgia Music Educators Association. After she retired from working
in public schools in 1994, Early taught at Morehouse College and
Spelman College and served as chair of the music department at
Clark Atlanta University. Early details her welcome reconciliation
with UGA, which had failed for decades to publicly recognize its
first Black graduate. In 2018 she received the President’s Medal,
and her portrait is one of only two women’s to hang in the
Administration Building. Most recently, Early was honored by the
renaming of the College of Education in her honor.

Georges and Pauline Vanier were the parents of Jean Vanier, the
co-founder of the L'Arche communities. They lived an intensely
spiritual life, influenced mainly by the Carmelite tradition. Mercy
Within Mercy is the warmly-told story of their life together
through World War Two and the second half of the 20th Century,
drawing on many letters and journals by Georges and Pauline
themselves and those closest to them. An incredible thirst for God
can be seen in the lives of this couple, who were always striving
in spite of (and through) human imperfection. The excerpts from
letters and journals in this volume show a rare example of the
contemplative life and struggles in prayer of an active and
prominent married couple. The Vanier story is unique in that it
forms a direct link back to the spiritual teaching that includes
St. Therese and the Carmelite tradition in its emphasis on
simplicity, trust in God's love, and self-abandonment to the mercy
of God. After Pauline's death in 1991, an investigation began into
the possible introduction of their cause for beatification as a
married couple.
The Life of Stephen the Younger is one of the rare sources for
Byzantium in the 'Dark Ages' and one of the key witnesses to the
history of Iconoclasm. This book presents a new edition of the
text, together with a French translation and commentary, and an
important introduction. Stephen was a hermit, killed in 765 at the
order of the emperor Constantine V; his Life was written in 809,
some forty years after the 7th Ecumenical Council, Nicaea II, at
which Orthodoxy was affirmed. Professor Auzepy shows how the Life
reflects the politics of the era, both those of the patriarchate on
which the author depended, and of the female monastery near which
Stephen had lived, and transforms the probable victim of a failed
political plot into a Christ-like figure martyred by a diabolic
emperor. La Vie d'Etienne le Jeune est une des rares sources sur
l'histoire de Byzance durant le Haut Moyen-Age et un temoignage
majeur de la querelle iconoclaste. Cet ouvrage, comprenant une
importante introduction, presente une nouvelle edition du texte,
accompagnee d'une traduction franAaise annotee. Etienne est un
ermite qui fut assassine en 765 sur l'ordre de l'empereur
Constantin V. Sa Vie fut ecrite en 809, une quarantaine d'annees
apres le septieme concile A"cumenique de Nicee II, au cours duquel
fut affirme l'Orthodoxie. Le professeur Auzepy demontre comment la
Vie reflete les enjeux politiques de cette epoque, ceux du
patriarcat dont l'auteur dependait comme ceux du monastere de
femmes aupres duquel Etienne a vecu, et comment la Vie transforme
son heros, probablement mis A mort dans le cadre d'un complot, en
une figure de saint moine martyrise par un empereur diabolique.

Dr Mary Frances Cleugh (1913-1986) was a philosopher and
educationalist. She worked for many years at the University of
London Institute of Education, where she led a 1-year course for
teachers of ESN children. Originally published in 1961, the three
volumes of this work, which at the time took their place as
complete and up-to-date guides to the subjects they cover, were
written by former students, now practicing teachers, who had passed
through the Institute's course. The volumes, each in a different
setting, cover every part of the curriculum from the point of view
of the 'slow' learner. These books are re-issues originally
published in 1961. The language used is a reflection of its era and
no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this
re-publication.
This book presents a wide range of psychoanalytic writing on
masculinity and femininity from British, European, and North and
South American perspectives, exploring how masculine and feminine
aspects are structured and evolve in the child, adolescent and
adult. The authors address from a background of considerable
clinical experience how masculinity and femininity manifest in the
body, gender, sex, sexuality and the life-cycle, and cover aspects
both productive and generative, constricted and defended. The
importance of the parenting couple and their bond with the child in
the forming of masculine and feminine idenitities is emphasized.
Beginning with an overview of the development of masculinity, the
developmental perspective is explored in how adolescents discover
their sexuality and come to 'own' their sexual bodies. Different
types of disturbance are explored including the early defence
mechanism of disavowal of difference. The development of the
masculine and feminine aspects of the psychoanalyst and how these
aspects influence analytic work are considered, in particular the
role of the male analyst in transformations of masculinity. The
analyst must have sufficiently worked through his/her own mental
bisexuality, to have internalized a good parental couple in order
to be able to listen to the mental bisexuality of the patient. The
book ends with a glimpse of the young child's struggle with issues
of sexuality and difficulties in constructing a gender identity.
The authors aim to explore what constitutes masculinity and
femininity in an accessible way not only for psychoanalytic
psychotherapists but also for the wider public.

Lady. The perfect size to carry always, its daily use will aid your
devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Perfect for those faithful
with a lifelong devotion to Mary, as well as for those who are just

St Louis de Montfort, in the introduction to his famous work, True
Devotion to Mary, exclaimed: We must still say with the saints: De
Maria numquam satis: We have still not praised, exalted, honoured,
loved and served Mary adequately. She is worthy of even more
praise, respect, love and service.
Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs) - often seen as the fastest
growing sector on the post-Cold War diplomatic agenda - are
increasingly viewed by the international community as useful
instruments for addressing a range of security and diplomatic
issues. Rethinking Confidence-Building Measures warns against an
uncritical pursuit of CBMs, arguing that the idea has been
oversold. The author asserts that obstacles to meaningful
agreements are much more important than usually acknowledged, and
the political and military ramifications have been generally
ignored. She concludes that the same effort, painstaking
negotiation, and possibilities for failure are inherent in CBMs as
in the wide array of other potential solutions for managing
interstate security relations, but with far fewer substantial
results.
Co-written by a professor and 10 students, this book explores their
attempts to come to grips with fundamental issues related to
writing narrative accounts purporting to represent aspects of
people's lives. The fundamental project, around which their
explorations in writing textual accounts turned, derived from the
editor's initial ethnographic question: "Tell me about the
previous] class we did together?" This proved to be a particularly
rich exercise, bringing into the arena all of the problems related
to choice of data, analysis of data, the structure of the account,
the stance of the author, tense, and case, the adequacy of the
account, and more.
As participants shared versions of their accounts and struggled to
analyze the wealth of data they had accumulated in the previous
classes -- the products of in-class practice of observation and
interview -- they became aware of the ephemeral nature of narrative
accounts. Reality, as written in textual form, cannot capture the
immense depth, breadth, and complexity of an actual lived
experience and can only be an incomplete representation that
derives from the interpretive imagination of the author.
The final chapter results from a number of discussions during
which each contributing author briefly revisited the text and --
through dialogue with others and/or the editor -- identified the
elements that would provide an overall framework that represents
"the big message" of the book. In this way, the contributors
attempted to provide a conceptual context that would indicate ways
in which their private experiences could be seen to be relevant to
the broader public arenas in which education and research is
engaged. In its entirety, the book presents an interpretive study
of teaching and learning. It provides a multi-voiced account that
reveals how problematic, turning-point experiences in a university
class are perceived, organized, constructed, and given meaning by a
group of interacting individuals.

Luminous Literacies shares examples of teachers and educators using
local knowledge to illustrate literacy engagement and
curriculum-making through scholarly accounts of experiences in
teacher preparation courses, classrooms, and other community spaces
in New Mexico. This edited collection includes chapters focusing on
the teaching of Native American literature to indigenous students
in what used to be an assimilation school; learning to code while
making connections to the bomb-building that was part of New
Mexican history; using graphic novels and text sets that reflect
local identities and concerns; and examining the duality of
querencia/herencia with teachers from across the United States in a
National Endowment of the Humanities-funded project. Teachers
present counter narratives to literacy knowing and learning in
places with extensive colonial histories. These chapters provide
vivid demonstrations of what literacy is, how literacies are
positioned in communities and contexts, and how literacies come
alive as they are taught. This is essential reading for practicing
teachers, teacher education researchers, cultural studies scholars,
and educational leaders.

This edited text recaptures many of Joe L. Kincheloe's national and
international influences. An advocate and a scholar in the social,
historical, and philosophical foundations of education, he
dedicated his professional life to his vision of critical pedagogy.
The authors in this volume found mentorship, as well as kinship, in
Joe and express the many ways in which he and his work made
profound differences in their work and lives. Joe's research always
pushed the limits of what critically reflective and informed
teaching entailed, never diluting the import of comprehending the
complexity of sociopolitical, cultural, economic, and educational
discourses and practices. Dedicated to a praxis of social and
political activism rooted in students' development as citizens and
workers, the labor of teachers as action researchers, cultural
workers, and social mediators is always at the heart of all he
achieved. We who were so influenced directly and indirectly by him
knew his genius and relished the generosity with which he shared
his ideas, advice, encouragement, and art. The world is better
because of Joe L. Kincheloe scholarship-inextricably related to
"critical" critical thinking and enactment of education that
tenaciously interrupts complacency, mediocrity, always responding
thoughtfully to particular educational contexts.
