Race(ing) Intercultural Communication signals a crucial
intervention in the field, as well as in wider society, where
social and political events are calling for new ways of making
sense of race in the 21st century. Contributors to this book work
at multiple intersections, theoretically and methodologically, in
order to highlight relational (im)possibilities for intercultural
communication. Chapters underscore the continuing importance of
studying race, and the diverse mechanisms that maintain racial
logics both in the U. S. and globally. In the so-called
'post-racial' era in which we live, not only are disrupting notions
of colour-blindness crucially important, but so too are imagining
new ways of thinking through racial matters. Ranging from
discussions of new media, popular culture, and political discourse,
to resistance literature, gay culture, and academia, contributors
produce incisive analyses of the operations of race and white
domination, including the myriad ways in which these discourses are
reproduced and disrupted. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the Journal of International and Intercultural
Communication.

Therese of Lisieux is among today's most popular and best-loved
saints. Yet she entered a Carmelite convent when she was just 15,
and died from tuberculosis in 1897 when she was only 24. Her
spiritual autobiography, The Story of a Soul, and other writings
including letters and poetry, became widely read after Therese's
death. Throughout the Christian world, word spread of the 'Little
Way' of love that she set out in her writing. In words simple yet
profound, she taught 'trust and absolute self-surrender' to God,
and showed how holiness lies within the reach of us all. By Love
Alone offers short extracts from Therese's writings, arranged for
daily devotional reading. First published in 1986, this wonderful
collection has brought comfort and spiritual guidance to tens of
thousands of people around the world.This new edition curated by Fr
Luke Penkett, archivist and librarian of the Julian Centre,
presents her words anew for a modern generation. The original
edition was edited by Fr Michael Hollings, a priest, writer and
broadcaster.
The US military's joint doctrine identifies humanitarian assistance
(HA) as one of 16 Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW). The
military's goal is to relieve the suffering of natural and man-made
disasters. Often times, these disasters are superimposed with civil
war or other political and security challenges, transforming them
into situations known as "complex emergencies." Within these
emergencies, actors use food as a deadly weapon. Unfortunately,
contemporary military doctrine supporting HA remains underdeveloped
compared to more traditional war fighting missions. This research
focuses on framing airpower's desired effects during HA missions,
missions analyzed for tactical (i.e., local), operational (i.e.,
regional), and strategic (i.e., national and international)
implications.
