Black post-soul art, Afropessimism, and more. Black aesthetics thus

of sensation and imagination in art, culture, design, everyday
life, and nature and by creating new ways of reckoning with
experience, identity, and resistance. Highlighting wide-ranging
forms of Black aesthetics across the arts, culture, and theory,
Black Art and Aesthetics: Relationalities, Interiorities,
Reckonings provides an unprecedented view of a field enjoying a
global resurgence. Black aesthetics materializes in communities of
artists, activists, theorists, and others who critique racial
inequities, create new forms of interiority and relationality,
uncover affective histories, and develop strategies for social
justice.

Prison Writing and the Literary World tackles international prison
writing and writing about imprisonment in relation to questions of
literary representation and formal aesthetics, the “value” or
“values” of literature, textual censorship and circulation,
institutional networks and literary-critical methodologies. It
offers scholarly essays exploring prison writing in relation to
wartime internment, political imprisonment, resistance and
independence creation, regimes of terror, and personal narratives
of development and awakening that grapple with race, class and
gender. Cutting across geospatial divides while drawing on nation-
and region-specific expertise, it asks readers to connect the
questions, examples and challenges arising from prison writing and
writing about imprisonment within the UK and the USA, but also
across continental Europe, Stalinist Russia, the Americas, Africa
and the Middle East. It also includes critical reflection pieces
from authors, editors, educators and theatre practitioners with
experience of the fraught, testing and potentially inspiring links
between prison and the literary world.
Since the publication of the First Edition, there have been several
advances on the research on Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
in schools. This Second Edition contains updates on how to apply
SFBT to specific problem areas that school social workers
frequently encounter. Each chapter has been updated and expanded to
provide to incorporate a Response to Intervention approach (RtI) in
many of the clinical "SFBT in Action" chapters. The authors also
utilized results from the second national school social work
survey, conducted by a team led by Dr. Kelly and currently in press
at School Mental Health Journal and Social Work, to identify
several targeted school-related problems that school social workers
encounter in their work and demonstrate how to use solution-focused
techniques for them. Despite being places with tremendous
challenges for students and staff, schools are also places of
solutions, strengths, and successes. This practical guide shows
school social workers how to harness the solutions; filled with
case examples, key points to remember, guidelines for reviewing
resaerch, sample dialogue, and best practice tips, this book gives
readers the essential tools to begin incorporating SFBT into their
practice immediately.
