Описание: Harnessing conceptual inspiration through the work of Harriet Tubman and Queen Nanny the Maroon of Jamaica, this book explores the historical and contemporary role that education has—and can continually play as an instrument of personal and group liberation. The book discusses the early formations of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the enslavement of native populations, and the subsequent development of the Underground Railroad and Maroon societies in the Caribbean and Americas as systems of liberation. It investigates the development and maintenance of racial, gendered and class stratifi cation, and provides a personal path to freedom as a context for a broader discussion on using education as a mechanism for dismantling the effects of colonization, miseducation, and social-psychological domination in schools and society. As a contemporary issue, it presents an in depth analysis of the Tucson Unifi ed School District in Arizona, and the controversy surrounding its ethnic studies program as an example of one of the contested sites of curriculum development and student liberation. Additionally, it discusses high performing charter schools as an alternative model of education, which may help to provide a systematic way of unshackling institutional barriers and oppression. Ultimately, this book acknowledges that today the road to freedom is still one we must all travel as: miseducation, school failure, school dropout, unemployment/underemployment, poverty, neighborhood violence, incarceration, and a growing prison industrial complex are all reminders of the work that still must be accomplished. Like those who historically sacrifi ced their lives to gain freedom and an education, today, with the lingering effects of institutionalized systems of domination, education must continue to be an instrument of social mobility and liberation, if indeed, we are to make schools and society more humane and inclusive towards those who are still waiting to be unshackled. The book presents implications regarding the treaties on education for freedom as a school reform and public policy topic.

The True Story of Coretta Scott King Told Fully for the First Time

Named a Washington Post Book to Read - A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice - A USA Today "New and Noteworthy" Pick - A Read It Forward Favorite Read - A Parade Magazine Pick - A Publishers Weekly "Notable African-American Titles"

Coretta: My Life, My Love, My Legacy] "reveals never-before-told aspects of Mrs. King's life....We learn of the brilliant mind and courageous spirit behind the enigmatic figure" (Essence).

Born in 1927 to daringly enterprising parents in the Deep South, Coretta Scott had always felt called to a special purpose. While enrolled as one of the first black scholarship students recruited to Antioch College, she became politically and socially active and committed to the peace movement. As a graduate student at the New England Conservatory of Music, determined to pursue her own career as a concert singer, she met Martin Luther King Jr., a Baptist minister insistent that his wife stay home with the children. But, in love and devoted to shared Christian beliefs as well as shared racial and economic justice goals, she married Dr. King, and events promptly thrust her into a maelstrom of history throughout which she was a strategic partner, a standard-bearer, and so much more.

As a widow and single mother of four, she worked tirelessly to found and develop the King Center as a citadel for world peace; lobbied for fifteen years for a U.S. national holiday in honor of her husband; championed women's, workers', and gay rights; and was a powerful international voice for nonviolence, freedom, and human dignity.

"Distinctly...particularly absorbing" (Patricia J. Williams, The New York Times Book Review), Coretta's is a love story, a family saga, and the memoir of an extraordinary black woman in twentieth-century America--a brave leader who, in the face of terrorism and violent hatred, stood committed, proud, forgiving, nonviolent, and hopeful every day of her life.

Описание: In this novel, WHITE MONSOON was a 1992 codename for a Libyan terrorist plot to travel disquised as members of the International Red Cross from Libya to India's Opium & Alkaloid Works to steal the contents of a backyard-swimming-pool sized vat full of over 400 tons of raw opium worth over $36US billion in 1992 once converted to 40 tons of pure heroin and sold on Main Street America.This yarn (PG13 TV14), with its many heroes, includes an incredibly brave 12 year old.AUTHOR BIOGRAPHYScott Nelson grew up in the 60s when LOOK and LIFE magazine published numerous pictorials about heroin addiction. This terrified him as a young man--he couldn't believe people could do that to themselves. Now he realizes the drug is so pleasurable and often laced with fentanyl, or worse, carfentanil that the odds are extremely high that someone will become hooked for life from the very first time they try it or die. Seeking to overcome his fear and wanting to address one of the top problems facing our world today, he decided to go after heroin head on. After completing a previous novel, he had a dream that became the opening chapter of this novel. It was so real he woke up in a cold sweat and quickly wrote it all down while it was still fresh in his mind. He realized he had slumbered into a great way to start his international thriller.Scott's dad, Doug Nelson, and mom, Judy Nelson, both read lots of books to Scott who learned at an early age to listen to the flow of words and how they wrapped together in such a way that just enough detail allowed the reader or listener's mind to paint the scene. They both introduced him to books they enjoyed reading which is how Scott found himself listening to stories about Ian Fleming's James Bond, stories of high intrigue by Alistair MacLean, and later by Robert Ludlum (the Bourne Identity series) and Tom Clancy (Jack Ryan). Scott says these authors all had a tremendous influence on his style, characterization, and story building where conflict draws in the reader.Scott lives with his wife in Utah. Between them they have 7 children and 14 grandchildren. UA-148406214-1
