Book Description
A chronicle of school board members' perspectives on race and racism in 2020, Seats at the Table is an unapologetic call to action for all who govern and lead our nation's public schools. Written as a result of national events, including the Black Lives Matter protests following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Armaud Arbery, this work probes school board members' self-identity, their experiences of race and racism, their reflections on progress in racial equity since the civil rights movement, and their thoughts on how we might confront racism, end discrimination, and achieve more equitable educational outcomes.

The Celebration Chronicles
Author: Andrew Ross, Ph.D.Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307788466
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Scholar and iconoclast Andrew Ross spent a year living in the much scrutinized, and often demonized, Celebration--the picture-perfect town that Disney is building for 20,000 people in the swamp and scrub of central Florida. Lavishly planned with a downtown center and newly minted antique homes, and front-loaded with an ultraprogressive school, hospital, and high-tech infrastructure, Celebration was to offer a fresh start in a world gone wrong. Yet behind the picket fences, gleaming facades, and "Kodak moment" streetscapes, Ross discovered a real place with real problems, and not a theme park village cooked up by the Imagineers. Compelling and wide-ranging in its analysis, The Celebration Chronicles provides a startlingly fresh perspective on the link between contemporary urban planning and corporate bottom lines.

Author: Making socialists
Author: Jane MartinPublisher: Manchester University Press

Pages : 267
Book Description
Making Socialists combines a biographical study of a (nowadays) virtually unknown woman with an original exploration of several major themes in late nineteenth and early twentieth century political and educational history. More than a local politician, Mary Bridges Adams was among the dynamic late nineteenth-century women activists who sought to transform government policy through socialist initiatives, with the ultimate (utopian) aim of creating a social nation. The author has assembled a thorough range of sources, including new materials that will bring fresh insights to this biography and more generally to Labour Party and socialist historiography, well-studied topics. The people Adams knew and the circles in which she travelled are particularly attractive features of this book. Foes thought her an awful woman: friends like George Bernard Shaw remembered the power of her oratory. Placed against the circumstances in which she lived and presented as part of a militant and anti-capitalist tradition within labour history, her life story contributes to new ways of seeing both socialist and feminist politics.
