Описание: This book argues that critical race theory (CRT)-which originated within Legal Studies during the 1970s-has permeated multiple academic disciplines and informs the ethical commitments of scholars in diverse fields of study. Critical Race Studies Across Disciplines includes essays by scholars of African American studies from various disciplines, who directly and indirectly incorporate CRT through signaling a commitment to scholar-activism or scholactivism. Scholactivists hope to understand the roots of anti-Black racism and to actively oppose all forms of oppression. Drawing on CRT, the volume counters the colorblind rhetoric of those who dismiss the notion of systemic racism, discount racial inequities, and disregard racial justice advocates as malcontents fanning the flames of racial dissension. The contributors of this collection challenge racism centering the stories, perspectives, and counter-narratives of African American soldiers, teachers, students, writers, psychologists, and theologians who continually defy and resist oppression in myriad ways.

Описание: This book is where the concept of the Henratty Mortimer series begins and is fundamentally an introduction to the main meerkat animal characters: Henratty, Lyndi Lou, Jack and Oscar that the author then develops throughout the series of books. Readers will get a sense of which characters are more mischievous than some, but they all have their special individual qualities so readers can choose their favourite. The author also introduces the reader to the magical place the meerkats live in called, The Land of Arkavale and finally the mythical meerkat superheroes, The MightyKats, which will feature more in the rest of the series of books. The underlying value is 'Green with Envy' or rather not to be. All the authors books in the series are written with an underlying value. This book has 20 wonderful gloss colour illustrations.Other books by Henrietta Defreitas with value: The Meervillle Myth - Good will always conquer evilWe Were Only Strawberry Picking - Love thy neighbourSkylark - Keep your friends close but your enemies closerThe Witch's Broth - Love moves in mysterious ways

Описание: This book is for children of all ages and adults too despite the categorisation: the author's concept when she writes the Henratty Mortimer series of books is to give the parents just as much enjoyment in reading the book to their children who are enjoying listening to the book being read. The author decided to use meerkats when she saw these adorable and very funny creatures on her trip to Newquay Zoo in Cornwall as they made her chuckle so much. There is a character that every individual (child or adult) will love. From series 2 to 5 of Henratty Mortimer books the meerkat always have some sort of mystery to solve, the author never planned it that way but when she took pen to paper the stories seem to unfold and flow almost of their own accord.This book starts to develop the wonderful meerkat characters a lot more especially Henratty Mortimer and Jack Brian, the reader begins to see their competitive nature as they are so alike but do not realise it, whereas the two younger siblings, Lyndi Lou Mortimer and Oscar Brian are the quieter, more focused siblings whom have the same interests and really get on. Henratty and Jack are like two little detectives and love to solve a mystery, especially Jack and no matter the danger Jack has no fear as he loves an adventure. This book shows how clever these two meerkat characters can be when they try to solve this mystery which involves saving the life of Misha Mortimer, Henratty's eldest sister from the evil monster lurking in the woods. The story is depicted by 27 stunning and vivid colour illustrations. The author would love her books to be made into animation as she has many other wonderful animal characters and not just the meerkats that can be found in the third and fourth series of the books and the author has already written four poem picture books based on the other animal characters to publish, such as Poppy The Most Beautiful Worm and Enoch and Escargot's Snail Trail. Again, these books also have an underlying value and are very witty.Other books by Henrietta Defreitas with value: Oscar's Birthday - Share and share alike - 'the green-eyed monster'We Were Only Strawberry Picking - Love thy neighbourSkylark - Keep your friends close but your enemies closerThe Witch's Broth - Love moves in mysterious ways
