Christianity and the Alt-Right: Exploring the Relationship looks
back at the 2016 presidential election and the support President
Trump enjoyed among white Evangelicals. This cutting-edge volume
offers insights into the role of race and racism in shaping both
the Trump candidacy and presidency and the ways in which
xenophobia, racism, and religion intersect within the Alt-Right and
Evangelical cultures in the age of Trump. This book aims to examine
the specific role that Christianity plays within the Alt-Right
itself. Of special concern is the development of what is called
"pro-white Christianity" and an ethic of religious tolerance
between members of the Alt-Right who are Pagan or atheist and those
who are Christian, whilst also exploring the reaction from
Christian communities to the phenomenon of the Alt-Right. Looking
at the larger relationship between American Christians, especially
white Evangelicals, and the Alt-Right as well as the current
American political context, the place of Christianity within the
Alt-Right itself, and responses from Christian communities to the
Alt-Right, this is a must-read for those interested in religion in
America, religion and politics, evangelicalism, and religion and
race.

This book addresses the most significant and recent issues of
infant and child psychiatry, examining topics from clinical care
and research perspectives as well as from the perspectives of
policies and programmes.
Never before has research on newborn behavior and parent-infant
interaction been fully integrated with psychoanalytic insight into
parents' emotions and fantasies. This book provide a vivid glimpse

Infant mental health, an emerging discipline, stands at the threshold of momentous advances that illuminate the links between clinical observations and the developing brain of the infant. This book is an invaluable guide to the clinician seeking insight into the relationship of developmental, cognitive, and neuroscience research findings in infant mental health and illness. Significant recent studies reveal the extensive effects of experiences within families and communities on infant development. Varied research topics are reviewed, including fetal sensory responses, infant physiology, and parent-infant speech patterns. The problem of how to implement the cascading information about infants on a broad public-health scale, including topics from international health care strategies to the concept of 'educare', is discussed. As the first book in The Mentor Series of the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions, it is written and edited by the foremost authorities in the field of child and adolescent mental health. It uses multiple levels of conceptualisation, from the infant's response to the feel and smell of a mother's skin, to how clinical knowledge informs broad policies affecting millions of children. Presented with clarity in a thorough and well-organized fashion to professionals caring for children around the world, The Infant and Family in the Twenty-First Century refines the most significant current knowledge concerning infants and identifies major themes regarding the optimal development of infants and families.

Parents will welcome Brazelton's uniquely empathetic, wise, and
helpful approach to this inevitable and often trying issue. Toilet
training is a job for the child and not the parent, and by trying
to force the issue or even encourage too hard, parents can set the
stage for trouble. By "listening to the child," parents will know
when their child is ready, and by guiding children in a series of
gentle small steps, parents can help them make the accomplishment
their own. A generation and more of children have been trained "the
Brazelton way," and now he and Dr. Sparrow have distilled this
advice into one priceless little guide. They first lay out the
Touchpoints approach to the issue (a "mistake" can mean the child
is making progress on some other front), then discuss the timing of
this big achievement, and finally deal with how to respond if
problems occur. For parents who want to get past this issue
cheerfully, with the least fuss and turmoil, this is the one and
only book to get.
Never before has research on newborn behavior and parent-infant
interaction been fully integrated with psychoanalytic insight into
parents' emotions and fantasies. This book provide a vivid glimpse
of the parents' daydreams and narcissistic wishes which grow into a
desire for a child, and they show how these feelings develop into
important attachments to the unborn infant during pregnancy. The
"power and competence" of the newborn born then challenges parental
fantasies, desires, wishes and expectations, creating the
beginnings of the bond between parent and child. Using the latest
research, the authors clarify all the ways the infant participates
in the dawning relationship and the ingredients of very early
communication and interaction. They then unveil the "imaginary
interactions" which lend meaning and drama to each gesture and
expression. We see the baby as Tyrant, as Savior, or as the
reincarnation of lost relationships. Everyone who cares for mothers
and babies-pediatricians, developmental and clinical psychologists,
psychiatrists, early childhood specialists, nurses and social
workers-as well as interested parents, will find this book of
immediate value.
Giving babies a "voice" helps parents understand their baby's
unique strengths and needs. This observational tool and handbook,
complete with beautiful four-color photographs by a Pulitzer
prize-winning photographer, gives professionals a systematic way to
help parents respond with confidence to their baby's individual
needs-and build positive parent-professional relationships in the
process. Flexible, easy to integrate into everyday practice, and
based on more than 25 years of research, this system includes A
short, easy-to-use, interactive observational tool. With the
Newborn Behavioral Observations (NBO) system, professionals will
have a structured set of 18 observations (see sidebar) for infants
from birth to approximately 3 months. Including parents as
partners, professionals guide the observation, discuss the baby's
abilities and behaviors with parents, encourage parent insights and
questions, and suggest specific ways to support the child's
development. (Appropriate use of the NBO tool in clinical practice
requires training through the NBO training program.) A complete
guide to the NBO system. Through realistic case studies,
step-by-step how-to instructions, and color photos illustrating
each NBO item, professionals will understand how to use the NBO
effectively with a wide variety of families. Invaluable
professional guidance. More than a tool, the handbook helps
professionals improve their daily work with in-depth information on
infant and parent development, cultural competence, premature and
at-risk infants, family-centered care, and more. An essential
resource from the co-author of the highly regarded Neonatal
Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) and his colleagues, this system
is just what clinicians in hospital, clinic, or home settings need
to help new mothers and fathers get to know their baby, increase
their confidence and competence as parents, and support their
child's growth and development.

All over the U.S. and in over twenty countries around the world,
Touchpoints has become required reading for anxious parents of
babies and small children. T. Berry Brazelton's great empathy for
the universal concerns of parenthood, and honesty about the complex
feelings it engenders, as well as his uncanny insight into the
predictable leaps and regressions of early childhood, have
comforted and supported families since its publication in 1992. In
this completely revised edition Dr. Brazelton introduces new
information on physical, emotional, and behavioural development. He
also addresses the new stresses on families and fears of children,
with a fresh focus on the role of fathers and other caregivers.
This updated volume also offers new insights on prematurity, sleep
patterns, early communication, toilet training, co-sleeping, play
and learning, SIDS, cognitive development and signs of
developmental delay, childcare, asthma, a child's immune system,
and safety. Dr. Sparrow, Brazelton's co-author on several other
books, brings a child psychiatrist's insights into the many
perennial childhood issues covered in this comprehensive book. No
parent should be without the reassurance and wisdom Touchpoints
provides.
In the short span of three years, infants learn to move with
confidence and grace, to converse with ease, to investigate and
solve problems, and to help others in need-building an exquisite
foundation for all learning that follows. Maguire-Fong has updated
her groundbreaking book designed to assist pre- and inservice
professionals working with infants and their families. Each chapter
draws from research and real-life infant care settings to provide
valuable insights into how to design an infant care program, plan
curriculum, assess learning, and work with families. This popular
resource is inspired by the philosophy of early childhood education
developed in the schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy; from the work of
Magda Gerber and Emmi Pikler; and from the many dedicated
researchers intent on figuring out how infants make meaning.Book
Features: Explicit examples that illustrate how to teach in ways
that respect how infants learn. A new in-depth section describing
how to plan curriculum by observing, documenting, and interpreting
infants' play and interactions. A newly illustrated section that
describes how play spaces, daily care routines, and everyday
conversations and interactions can be transformed into contexts for
learning that fully support infants' amazing capacity to learn.
Examples of curriculum planning and assessment that align well with
state and national performance standards and curriculum frameworks.
Images of African Americans in our culture abound--on television, in films, on the radio, and in newsprint. Whether in works by African Americans--most notably popular music, film, and to a growing degree, television programs--or works about African Americans from documentaries to news coverage--strong images pervade our public consciousness. Mediated Messages and African American Culture is the first book to examine these images and messages as a whole. Bringing together works by leading scholars, this collection examines such vital topics as the relationship between black men and the police, the state of the African American press, and the perpetuation of images of African Americans as poor, violent, and undereducated. Timely case studies and the combination of theory and practice make this text both up-to-date and thorough in its analysis of the image and portrayal of African Americans in the media. Mediated Messages and African American Culture will be of great interest to students who study popular culture, black popular culture, African American history, and the media. The book's critical discussion about the treatment of African Americans in the media is unique in its coverage and depth.
Whilst many assume that conservative evangelical support for Trump
is motivated by his position on social issues such as abortion and
LGBTQ rights, or a nostalgia for an imagined American golden age,
this book shows that the reality is much more complex by looking at
a more recent and understudied trend of Evangelicalism in America.
Damon T. Berry examines how leaders within the New Apostolic
Reformation (NAR), a charismatically inclined Evangelical movement,
claim their support for Trump came from alleged prophetic visions
that compelled them to defend Trump’s candidacy, and to continue
to defend his presidency, re-election against demonically inspired,
Marxist, “Deep State” enemies. In this conspiratorial
cosmology, spiritual warfare through prayer and political activism
is the duty of the faithful so that they might protect Trump as
God’s anointed leader and war against malevolent, unpatriotic
forces that oppose him, the nation, and God himself. Working from
primary source materials produced by leading figures among the NAR,
Berry argues that this conspiratorial discourse is central to NAR
support for Trump’s candidacy, presidency, and re-election
effort, and that this discourse has come to shape some of the most
important debates among American religious conservatives in the
21st century.
Language is never just a means of communication. It terrorizes.
And, especially in times of war, it has the ability to target
civilians and generate fear as a means of producing specific
political outcomes, most notably the passive and active acceptance
of state violence itself. For this reason, the critical examination
of language must be a central part of any effort to fight
imperialism, militarism, demagoguery, racism, sexism, and other
structures of injustice. Globalizing Collateral Language examines
the discourse surrounding 9/11 and its entrenchment in global
politics and culture. To interrogate this wartime lexicon of
"collateral language," editors John Collins and Somdeep Sen have
assembled a volume of critical essays that explores the long shadow
of America's "War on Terror" discourse. They illuminate how this
language has now found resonance across the globe and in political
projects that have little to do with the "War on Terror." Two
decades after the attacks of September 11, 2001, this book calls on
us to resist the tyranny of collateral language at a time when the
need for such interventions in the public sphere is more urgent
than ever.
Black Culture and Experience: Contemporary Issues offers a holistic
look at Black culture in the twenty-first century. It is a
collection of work that creates a synergy among authors and leads
to a valuable resource on contemporary issues. Part One examines
institutional, societal, and political issues like identity
politics; the Rooney Rule; prosperity gospel; inequality in the
criminal justice system; the American dream; the future of Black
and Africana studies; and President Obama's double consciousness.

experience in marriage and relationships; sexual decision making;
interracial relationships; and cultural racism. Part Three explores
media, pop culture, and technology issues including the rise of
urban fiction; hip hop and feminism; race in Super Bowl
commercials; the construction of Black Diasporic identities;
Whiteness in Black-oriented films; Black masculinity in Django
Unchained; and the power of Black Twitter. This anthology contains
work from leading scholars, authors, and other specialists who have
been brought together to highlight key issues in black culture and
experience today. The goal is to help readers understand where we
are and where we still need to go, what is working and what we
still need to work on, what is right and what is still wrong.

This work presents, in an easy-to-use tabular format, a complete
list of the 25,000 persons who bought land in southwestern Ohio and
eastern Indiana through the Cincinnati Land Office between the
years 1800 and 1840. Data furnished with each entry includes the
name of the purchaser, date of purchase, place of residence at the
time of purchase, and the range, township, and section of the
purchased land, thus enabling the researcher to ascertain the exact
location of an ancestor's land. Previously, in locating a settler
in southwestern Ohio, the researcher was obliged to spend hours if
not days searching through numerous volumes of unindexed land
records, but with this volume the task is reduced to seconds.
