Book excerpt: The book is part of FAST’s ongoing activism, research, design, and advocacy work. It builds on earlier presentations, including the exhibition BLUE: Architecture of UN Peacekeeping Missions for the Dutch Pavilion of the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale. At the intersection of architecture, urban planning, international relations and activism, BLUE: Architecture of UN Peacekeeping Missions seeks not only to change UN missions but also to open up and expand the operative realm of architecture. It combines research and projects involving policymakers, military engineers and officers, anthropologists, local inhabitants, activists, rebels, diplomats and ministers, architects and planners. BLUE offers examples of how entrenched institutional bureaucracies can be confronted by using more inclusive models of engagement, and it shows how designs rooted in local cultures and empowerment can address a history of violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2020 American Educational Studies Association Critics' Choice Award As battles over school desegregation helped define a generation of civil rights activism in the United States, a less heralded yet equally important movement emerged in Chicago. Following World War II, an unprecedented number of African Americans looked beyond the issue of racial integration by creating their own schools. This golden age of private education gave African Americans unparalleled autonomy to avoid discriminatory public schools and to teach their children in the best ways they saw fit. In Schools of Our Own, Worth Kamili Hayes recounts how a diverse contingent of educators, nuns, and political activists embraced institution building as the most effective means to attain quality education. Schools of Our Own makes a fascinating addition to scholarly debates about education, segregation, African American history, and Chicago, still relevant in contemporary discussions about the fate of American public schooling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the American Revolution, the people who lived in British North America were not just colonists; they were also imperial subjects. To think of eighteenth-century New Yorkers as Britons rather than incipient Americans allows us fresh investigations into their world. How was the British Empire experienced by those who lived at its margins? How did the mundane affairs of ordinary New Yorkers affect the culture at the center of an enormous commercial empire? Dangerous Economies is a history of New York culture and commerce in the first two thirds of the eighteenth century, when Britain was just beginning to catch up with its imperial rivals, France and Spain. In that sparsely populated city on the fringe of an empire, enslaved Africans rubbed elbows with white indentured servants while the elite strove to maintain ties with European genteel culture. The transience of the city's people, goods, and fortunes created a notably fluid society in which establishing one's own status or verifying another's was a challenge. New York's shifting imperial identity created new avenues for success but also made success harder to define and demonstrate socially. Such a mobile urban milieu was the ideal breeding ground for crime and conspiracy, which became all too evident in 1741, when thirty slaves were executed and more than seventy other people were deported after being found guilty—on dubious evidence—of plotting a revolt. This sort of violent outburst was the unforeseen but unsurprising result of the seething culture that existed at the margins of the British Empire.

Download or read book Dead White and Blue written by Aaron W Clayton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-05-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science fiction and horror television shows predict how the world might be different if zombies were real, or if artificial intelligence could develop consciousness. Pop culture critics reveal that these not-quite humans are often proxies for race, and the post-apocalyptic landscapes set the stage for reimagining social and political institutions. This book advances horror scholarship by placing those stories within a long tradition of mythologizing U.S. history. It demonstrates how Disney's Zombies reenacts the civil rights movement, how The Walking Dead fulfills Thoreau's fantasy against the backdrop of founding a new nation, and how Westworld permits visitors to experience the Old West while bearing witness to Indian Removal. Each of these narratives imagines a future that retells the past. The chapters within look at that tradition in order to understand the present.

Download or read book Franz Baermann Steiner written by Jeremy Adler and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franz Baermann Steiner (1909-52) provided the vital link between the intellectual culture of central Europe and the Oxford Institute of Anthropology in its post-Second World War years. This book demonstrates his quiet influence within anthropology, which has extended from Mary Douglas to David Graeber, and how his remarkable poetry reflected profoundly on the slavery and murder of the Shoah, an event which he escaped from. Steiner’s concerns including inter-disciplinarity, genre, refugees and exile, colonialism and violence, and the sources of European anthropology speak to contemporary concerns more directly now than at any time since his early death.

Book excerpt: THE SENSE OF A WOMAN When God created Man, He didn't really have a plan, But they turned out rather well for a first try. He gave them abs and other parts to stir the women's hearts, Plus charming smiles, and captivating eyes. There was a problem with the brain that I think I should explain, For it tells us why men sometimes seem so dense: Their egos took up so much room that we simply can assume, There was hardly any space left for their sense. But women caught a break, as God had learned from His mistake, That's why men are nines and women are all tens. For He kept our egos small, which made room to install, All the extra sense left over from the men. Without our sense this world would be fast cars and sports TV; We'd push and shove and cuss and spit and scratch. There'd be no ribbons and no flowers, no children's story hours, And the earth would soon be littered up with trash. Veggie trays would disappear, to be replaced with chips and beer, And things like vacuums, mops, and brooms would all be gone. We'd start each meal with a dessert; end each sentence with a burp. No one would kiss the hurts or point out right from wrong. We'd have toilets without seats, a liquor store on every street. Our kids would not be taught to say, "Yes, sir," or "No, ma'am." So when that ceiling finally shatters; when we've shown the world we matter, We must celebrate the sense of a woman. Yes, we're weak, yet we are strong; not always right, not often wrong. We're each unique, but have so many things in common. We stay composed when we're intense; you'll never find us on the fence, Because we're blessed with the sense of a woman. Rue Doolin
