Book Description
Interest in the vegan studies field continues to grow as veganism has become increasingly visible via celebrity endorsements and universally acknowledged health benefits, and veganism and vegan characters are increasingly present in works of art and literature. Through a Vegan Studies Lens broadens the scope of vegan studies by engaging in the mainstream discourse found in a wide variety of contemporary works of literature, popular cultural representations, advertising, and news media. Veganism is a practice that allows for environmentally responsible consumer choices that are viewed, particularly in the West, as oppositional to an economy that is largely dependent upon big agriculture. This groundbreaking collection exposes this disruption, critiques it, and offers a new roadmap for navigating and reimaging popular culture representations on veganism. These essays engage a wide variety of political, historical, and cultural issues, including contemporary political and social circumstances, emergent veganism in Eastern Europe, climate change, and the Syrian refugee crisis, among other topics. Through a Vegan Studies Lens significantly furthers the conversation of what a vegan studies perspective can be and illustrates why it should be an integral part of cultural studies and critical theory. Vegan studies is inclusive, refusing to ignore the displacement, abuse, and mistreatment of nonhuman animals. It also looks to ignite conversations about cultural oppression.

Book Description
This innovative study of racial upheaval and urban transformation in Baltimore, Maryland investigates the impact of "blockbusting"—a practice in which real estate agents would sell a house on an all-white block to an African American family with the aim of igniting a panic among the other residents. These homeowners would often sell at a loss to move away, and the real estate agents would promote the properties at a drastic markup to African American buyers. In this groundbreaking book, W. Edward Orser examines Edmondson Village, a west Baltimore rowhouse community where an especially acute instance of blockbusting triggered white flight and racial change on a dramatic scale. Between 1955 and 1965, nearly twenty thousand white residents, who saw their secure world changing drastically, were replaced by blacks in search of the American dream. By buying low and selling high, playing on the fears of whites and the needs of African Americans, blockbusters set off a series of events that Orser calls "a collective trauma whose significance for recent American social and cultural history is still insufficiently appreciated and understood." Blockbusting in Baltimore describes a widely experienced but little analyzed phenomenon of recent social history. Orser makes an important contribution to community and urban studies, race relations, and records of the African American experience.

Book Description
Immerse Yourself in the Life and Times of the Nation's First Black ScientistBenjamin Banneker, celebrated today as the nation's first Black scientist and man of letters, was a largely self-taught mathematician, surveyor, and astronomer who came of age during America's revolutionary period. Silvio Bedini's acclaimed and definitive biography, The Life of Benjamin Banneker, is his story.Banneker was born a free Black in 1731 and quickly exhibited an extraordinary facility for mathematics. Through his study of astronomy, he accurately predicted the solar eclipse that occurred in 1789, but his true acclaim is based on the almanacs he published between 1792 and 1797, which contained tidal information from Maryland to Canada, population figures for the burgeoning United States, astronomical data and weather predictions, and a wide variety of writings and occurrences of the time. He was instrumentally one of the nation's earliest record keepers.In 1791, Banneker also demonstrated his role as an advocate for civil rights when he sent a copy of one of his almanac manuscripts to Thomas Jefferson (the nation's first Secretary of State), in which he enclosed a letter that challenged the Secretary's views on slavery and advocated for its abolishment. Both the letter and Jefferson's reply were soon published, notably representing two prevalent forces of the era in contrasting the humanitarian perspective of Banneker with those of the politician Jefferson, thus delineating a point of contention that continues to resonate today.Using primary source material, author Silvio Bedini explores the facts, myths, and legends surrounding Benjamin Banneker. This republished revised and expanded edition, complete with over 75 photographs of documents and tools, skillfully captures the life of a gifted Black man living during eighteenth-century America. It is a vivid portrayal that readers will find engaging from its first page to its last.
