The compendium of writings in this edited volume sheds light on the event "Race & Ethnicity: A Day of Discovery and Dialogue" at Washington University in St. Louis and the work current students, faculty, and staff are doing to improve inclusivity on campus and in St. Louis. The book includes speeches, reflections, art, and photography aligned with the Day of Discovery and Dialogue in addition to original academic work on race in higher education, race in St. Louis, and race in the United States. Leading scholars and emerging voices feature in this volume, filling a void in the race and higher education literature since it will foreground a case study of a single university at the epicenter of a national racial crisis and how a university-wide event brought a campus together. This praxis focus may have far reaching impact in aiding other universities across the country in addressing racial tensions in their own communities.
Congress and the president are not the only branches that deal
with fiscal issues in times of war. In this innovative book, Nancy
Staudt focuses on the role of federal courts in fiscal matters
during warfare and high-cost national defense emergencies. There
is, she argues, a judicial power of the purse that becomes evident
upon examining the budgetary effects of judicial decision making.
The book provides substantial evidence that judges are
willing--maybe even eager--to redirect private monies into
government hands when the country is in peril, but when the judges
receive convincing cues that ongoing wartime activities undermine
the nation's interests, they are more likely to withhold funds from
the government by deciding cases in favor of private individuals
and entities who show up in court.
