You Can't Stop the Revolution
Author: Andrea S. BoylesPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520970500
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
You Can’t Stop the Revolution is a vivid participant ethnography conducted from inside of Ferguson protests as the Black Lives Matter movement catapulted onto the global stage. Sociologist Andrea S. Boyles offers an everyday montage of protests, social ties, and empowerment that coalesced to safeguard black lives while igniting unprecedented twenty-first-century resistance. Focusing on neighborhood crime prevention and contentious black citizen–police interactions in the context of preserving black lives, this book examines how black citizens work to combat disorder, crime, and police conflict. Boyles offers an insider’s analysis of cities like Ferguson, where a climate of indifference leaves black neighborhoods vulnerable to conflict, where black lives are seemingly expendable, and where black citizens are held responsible for their own oppression. You Can’t Stop the Revolution serves as a reminder that community empowerment is still possible in neighborhoods experiencing police brutality and interpersonal violence.

The Individual in the Making
Author: Edwin Asbury KirkpatrickPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Child development
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
"In this volume it is proposed to discuss the development of individual human minds, chiefly from the subjective point of view. The educator like the mariner needs a chart by which he may guide the child into the most favoring channels and past the most serious dangers that are found in each stage of development from childhood to maturity. The author believes that the descriptions and suggestions herein given lead toward the truth. The ideas as expressed are not given as final truth for the guidance of psychologists and educators, but as a formulation of facts and principles to be corrected and completed by further scientific investigations and tested by practical educational experience. It is hoped that the work is sufficiently concrete and specific to be of interest and value to parents and teachers who have not received much training in psychology. It will be of most value, however, to those who have had a good deal of experience with children."--Preface.
Watching over Yellowstone
Author: Thomas C. RustPublisher: University Press of Kansas
ISBN: 0700629610
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
When, in 1883, Congress charged the US Army with managing Yellowstone National Park, soldiers encountered a new sort of hostility: work they were untrained for, in a daunting physical and social environment where they weren’t particularly welcome. When they departed in 1918, America had a new sort of serviceman: the National Park Service Ranger. From the creation of Yellowstone National Park to the conclusion of the army’s superintendence, Watching over Yellowstone tells the boots-on-the-ground story of the US troops charged with imposing order on man and nature in America’s first national park. Yellowstone National Park had been created only fourteen years before Captain Moses Harris arrived at Mammoth Hot Springs with his company, Troop M of the First United States Cavalry, in August of 1886. And in those years, the underfunded, poorly supervised park had been visited freely by over-eager tourists, vandals, and poachers. Thomas C. Rust describes the task confronting Congress, military superintendents, and the common soldiers as the ever-increasing number of tourists, commercial interests, and politics stained the unruly park. At a time when the army was already undergoing a great transformation, the common soldiers were now struggling with unusual duties in unfamiliar terrain, often in unaccustomed proximity to the social elite who dominated the tourist class—fertile if uncertain ground for both the failures and the successes that eventually shaped the National Park Service’s ranger corps. What this meant for the average soldier emerges from the materials Rust consults: orders, circulars, inspection reports, court-martial cases, civilian accounts, and evidence from excavated soldier stations in the park. A nuanced social history from a rare ground-level perspective, his book captures an extraordinary moment in the story of America’s military and its national parks.
