The family forms discussed are• Adoption• Foster care• Interracial families• Family members with special needs (with a focus on autism)• Families with LGBTQ members• Grandparent-headed Families• Family members with chronic medical conditions The volume establishes an innovative format that fits the new age of evidence-based practice. Each chapter is written by a collaborative team of authors consisting of researchers and practitioners. The former address the prevalence and characteristics of the family form and then present the research findings most relevant to clinical practice; the latter use this as the foundation for their portion of the chapter, in which they discuss strategies for good therapeutic intervention, representing a true integration of science and practice.

Описание: Multiple Cities, Multiple Subjectivities in the Contemporary African American Novel: Discursive Practices of Whiteness in Everyday Urban Encounters examines the post-1990s African American novels, namely the "neo-urban novel," developing a new urban discourse for the 21st century on how the city as a social formation impacts black characters through everyday discursive practices of whiteness. The critique of everyday life in a racial context is o important in considering diverse forms of the lived reality of black everyday life in the novelistic representations of the white dominant urban order. Even if the African American novels, studied in this book, are not all published in post-9/11, they help us see where the lack of interactional social relations has led Americans to where they are, namely the culture of fear, seeing all people of color as an ominous threat. African American fictional representations of the city have political significance in that the "neo-urban novel" explores the nature, indeed the very possibility of a dialogic communication with the American society at large. The book explores the need to understand how whiteness works, what it forecloses, and what it occasionally opens up in everyday life in American society. The book consists of seven chapters on Walter Mosley s Devil in a Blue Dress (1990) and Little Scarlet (2004), John Edgar Wideman s Two Cities (1998), Percival Everett s I am Not Sidney Poitier (2009), Martha Southgate s The Fall of Rome (2002), Asha Bandele s Daughter (2003), and Michael Thomas Man Gone Down (2007) that explore how the strategic employment of blackness can offer ways of subverting the discursive power of the white embodied self. These novels also probe how the relationship of a white person to his/her own self changes, once s/he is undone, and becomes, to a certain extent unknowable. All in all, it is impossible to erase the color-lines by all means in the US as much as across the globe, but this book may contribute to finding new ways/strategies of deconstructing, hopefully unconstructing in the long run, racial hierarchies in an attempt to expand the boundaries of the ongoing critique of racism, neocolonialism, and globalization (built upon the white supremacist vision) in the 20th and 21st centuries.

In Jamaican dancehalls competition for the video camera's light is stiff, so much so that dancers sometimes bleach their skin to enhance their visibility. In the Bahamas, tuxedoed students roll into prom in tricked-out sedans, staging grand red-carpet entrances that are designed to ensure they are seen being photographed. Throughout the United States and Jamaica friends pose in front of hand-painted backgrounds of Tupac, flashy cars, or brand-name products popularized in hip-hop culture in countless makeshift roadside photography studios. And visual artists such as Kehinde Wiley remix the aesthetic of Western artists with hip-hop culture in their portraiture. In Shine, Krista Thompson examines these and other photographic practices in the Caribbean and United States, arguing that performing for the camera is more important than the final image itself. For the members of these African diasporic communities, seeking out the camera's light—whether from a cell phone, Polaroid, or video camera—provides a means with which to represent themselves in the public sphere. The resulting images, Thompson argues, become their own forms of memory, modernity, value, and social status that allow for cultural formation within and between African diasporic communities.

Описание: This work argues that in the age of (neoliberal) globalization, black people around the world are slowly becoming "African-Americanized". This is due to the influence of two social class language games of the black American community, the black underclass and black American liberal/conservative bourgeois, spreading throughout the African Diaspora.

Описание: Applying critical race theory to contemporary African American children’s and young adult literature, this book explores one key racial issue that has been overlooked both in race studies and literary scholarship—internalised racism. By systematically examining the issue of internalised racism and its detrimental psychological effects, particularly towards the young and vulnerable, this book defamiliarises the very racial issue that otherwise has become normalised in American racial discourse, reaffirming the relevance of race, racism, and racialisation in contemporary America. Through readings of works by Jacqueline Woodson, Sharon G. Flake, Tanita S. Davis, Sapphire, Rosa Guy, and Nikki Grimes, Suriyan Panlay develops a new critical discourse on internalised racism by studying its effects on marginalised children, its manifestations, and the fictional narrative strategies that can be used to regain and reclaim a sense of self.

Описание: In this volume, Lovalerie King and Shirley Moody-Turner have compiled a collection of essays that offer access to some of the most innovative contemporary black fiction while addressing important issues in current African American literary studies. Distinguished scholars Houston Baker, Trudier Harris, Darryl Dickson-Carr, and Maryemma Graham join writers and younger scholars to explore the work of Toni Morrison, Edward P. Jones, Trey Ellis, Paul Beatty, Mat Johnson, Kyle Baker, Danzy Senna, Nikki Turner, and many others. The collection is bracketed by a foreword by novelist and graphic artist Mat Johnson, one of the most exciting and innovative contemporary African American writers, and an afterword by Alice Randall, author of the controversial parody The Wind Done Gone. Together, King and Moody-Turner make the case that diversity, innovation, and canon expansion are essential to maintaining the vitality of African American literary studies.
