Trump Fiction:Essays on Donald Trump in Literature, Film, and
Television examines depictions of Donald Trump and his fictional
avatars in literature, film, and television, including works that
took up the subject of Trump before his successful presidential
campaign (in terms that often uncannily prefigure his presidency)
as well as those that have appeared since he took office. Covering
a range of texts and approaches, the essays in this collection
analyze the place Trump has assumed in literary and popular
culture. By investigating how authors including Bret Easton Ellis,
Amy Waldman, Thomas Pynchon, Howard Jacobson, Mark Doten, Olivia
Laing, and Salman Rushdie, along with films and television programs
like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Sesame Street, Sex and the City,
Two Weeks Notice, Our Cartoon President, and Pose have approached
and shaped the discourse surrounding Trump, the contributors
collectively demonstrate the ways these cultural artifacts serve as
sites through which the culture both resists and abets Trump and
his rise to power.

In this spiritual memoir, a white woman in an interracial marriage
and mixed-race family paints a beautiful path from white privilege
toward racial healing, from ignorance toward seeing the image of
God in everyone she meets. Author and speaker Cara Meredith grew up
in a colorless world. From childhood, she didn't think issues of
race had anything to do with her, and she was ignorant of many of
the racial realities (including individual and systemic racism) in
America today. A colorblind rhetoric had been stamped across her
education, world view, and Christian theology. Then as an adult,
Cara's life took on new, colorful hues. She realized that white
people in her generation, seeking to move beyond ancestral racism,
had swung so far in believing a colorblind rhetoric that they tried
to act as if they didn't see race at all. When Cara met and fell in
love with the son of black icon, James Meredith, the power of love
helped her see color. She began to notice the shades of life
already present in the world around her, while also learning to
listen in new ways to black voices of the past. After she married
and their little family grew to include two mixed-race sons, Cara
knew she would never see the world through a colorless lens again.
Cara Meredith's journey will serve as an invitation into
conversations of justice, race, and privilege, asking key
questions, such as: What does it mean to navigate ongoing and
desperately needed conversations of race and justice? What does it
mean for white people to listen and learn from the realities our
black and brown brothers and sisters face every day? What does it
mean to teach the next generation a theology of justice,
reconciliation, and love? What does it mean to dig into the stories
of our past, both historically and theologically, to see the imago
Dei in everyone? Plus, Cara offers an extensive Notes and
Recommended Reading section at the end of the book, so you can
continue learning, listening, and engaging in this important
conversation.
Canada's big six banks weathered the 2008 financial crisis very
well. Their adherence to tried and tested twentieth-century
products and services made them a safe harbour in the financial
storm. However, as the modern global information economy continues
to develop, the banks must confront their innovation crisis, or
they will fail. In Stumbling Giants, Patricia Meredith and James L.
Darroch embark on an audacious and startling examination of
Canada's big banks. With banks earning forty percent return on
equity from traditional retail banking, pressure from investors
with short term interests has discouraged technological innovation
and adaptation. Meredith and Darroch reveal the socio-technological
disruptors threatening the banks' three primary product divisions -
lending, wealth management, and payments - and offer innovative yet
realistic recommendations for improvement. Meredith and Darroch's
new vision for the Canadian banking industry involves a broad
cross-section of Canadians - policy makers, regulators, customers,
suppliers, investors, and bankers - and is a call to action for all
interested stakeholders to work together in creating a banking
system for the twenty-first century.
