Teaching should never be color-blind. In a world where many believe the best approach toward eradicating racism is to feign ignorance of our palpable physical differences, a few have led the movement toward convincing fellow educators not only to consider race but to use it as the very basis of their teaching. This is what education activist and writer Pamela Lewis has set upon to do in her compelling book, Teaching While Black: A New Voice on Race and Education in New York City. As the title suggests, embracing blackness in the classroom can be threatening to many and thus challenging to carry out in the present school system. Unapologetic and gritty, Teaching While Black offers an insightful, honest portrayal of Lewis’s turbulent eleven-year relationship within the New York City public school system and her fight to survive in a profession that has undervalued her worth and her understanding of how children of color learn best. Tracing her educational journey with its roots in the North Bronx, Lewis paints a vivid, intimate picture of her battle to be heard in a system struggling to unlock the minds of the children it serves, while stifling the voices of teachers of color who hold the key. The reader gains full access to a perspective that has been virtually ignored since the No Child Left Behind Act, through which questions surrounding increased resignation rates by teachers of color and failing test scores can be answered. Teaching While Black is both a deeply personal narrative of a black woman’s real-life experiences and a clarion call for culturally responsive teaching. Lewis fearlessly addresses the reality of toxic school culture head-on and gives readers an inside look at the inert bureaucracy, heavy-handed administrators, and ineffective approach to pedagogy that prevent inner-city kids from learning. At the heart of Lewis’s moving narrative is her passion. Each chapter delves deeper into the author’s conscious uncoupling from the current trends in public education that diminish proven remedies for academic underachievement, as observed from her own experiences as a teacher of students of color. Teaching While Black summons everyone to re-examine what good teaching looks like. Through a powerful vision, together with practical ideas and strategies for teachers navigating very difficult waters, Lewis delivers hope for the future of teaching and learning in inner-city schools.

Описание: The author is at a place where many fear and don't want to go, but in order to know and prepare for what may be coming, it requires awareness without fear. He speaks about those early white scholars who have historically used misinformed evil theories with no scientific evidence but only bias, misguided, and subjective opinions. What pursued was centuries of death, murder, and violence against the people of the world, and since then, religion would no longer be the cornerstone of American civilization. He takes the nations historical path to bring attention to the uncontrolled effects of violence in our society and confronts the origins of Christianity and delves into the beginning of its development by a violent empire and not far from the death of Jesus. These evil men created a belief system bent on world domination and control using religion, violence, scriptures, and the cross. He reveals the dawning days of Christian faith in the world and the obvious loss of morality in the western American society today at the apex of this Christian wickedness.

Описание: This book is a very important subject that needs to be dealt with. This subject is often whispered about. I, Franklin Donny D. Lewis, have taken this as a goal to bring it out to the world. I started writing Single Mother's in 2007. I had many roadblocks. But God put this project on me and has seen me through it. This book contains some facts and mostly my opinion on the subject. Since I was a black boy raised by a single mother, I feel I have quite a bit of insight to offer. I am a black man in the trenches every day, and my various jobs expose me to the everyday life of young black boys and young black men. I hope you, the reader, will get something out of this guide that will help you and your son then I have done my job. Keep the faith.
For centuries, secret-keeping has been a necessity in the Black community. Slaves hid children born with disabilities, to keep them from being killed. Thirsty for knowledge, they could not safely learn to read and write, so that was kept carefully hidden, as well. Continuing into the days of Jim Crow, more sophisticated secrets were kept, so that Blacks could socialize and enjoy each other's company without the threat of the Klan hunting them for sport. From generation to generation, each Black person carries the weight of secrets passed from elders and ancestors. Grass Won't Grow Where Secrets Are Buried is a collection of compelling stories focused on the liberation that happens when secrets are finally seen for what they are. With topics ranging from social climate change to bad relationships to the stigma of mental health issues, the journeys these characters take will inspire you to examine secrets in your own life... and set yourself free.

Автор: Gloria Brown, Donna L. Sinclair Название: Black Woman in Green: Gloria Brown and the Unmarked Trail to Forest Service Leadership ISBN: 087071001X ISBN-13(EAN): 9780870710018 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 16680.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: From an unlikely beginning as an agency transcriptionist in her hometown of Washington, DC, Gloria Brown became the first African American woman to attain the rank of forest supervisor at the US Forest Service. As a young widow with three children, she transferred to Missoula, Montana, and embarked on a remarkable journey, ultimately leading the Siuslaw National Forest in Oregon and later the Los Padres in California. The story of Brown’s career, from clerical worker to forest supervisor, unfolds against the backdrop of a changing government agency and a changing society. As scholars awaken to the racist history of public land management and the ways that people of color have been excluded from contemporary notions of nature and wilderness, Brown’s story provides valuable insight into the roles that African Americans have carved out for themselves in the outdoors generally and in the field of environmental policy and public lands management specifically. Drawing on her powerful communication and listening skills, her sense of humor, and her willingness to believe in the basic goodness of humanity, Brown conducted civil rights trainings and shattered glass ceilings, all while raising her children alone. Written in an engaging and accessible style with historian Donna Sinclair, Brown’s story provides a fascinating case study for public administration and contributes to a deeper understanding of the environmental and civil rights movements of the twentieth century, particularly the role that racial discrimination has played in national forests, parks, and other wilderness spaces. It also highlights issues of representation in the federal government, women’s history, the history of the American West, and literature associated with African American experiences in predominately white societies.
