Download or read book Justice for Black Students written by Kofi Lomotey and published by Myers Education Press. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2023 SPE Outstanding Book Award Winner In Justice for Black Students: Black Principals Matter, Kofi Lomotey begins with a two-pronged premise: (1) Black students do not receive a quality education in US public (or private) schools, and (2) Black principals, like Black teachers, can make a positive impact on the academic and overall success of Black students. Through the chronicling of his own work over 50 years—as a practitioner and an academic—Lomotey puts forth this argument with a focus on Black principals. In this book, he positions his 1993 coining of the term ethno-humanism—a role identity which he attributes to successful Black principals—as a fundamental/critical component of the leadership of these principals. In reprinting three of his earlier articles and sharing new information (including a review of the literature on Black male principals), he provides a broad-based description of this role identity and then links it to the more recent concepts of culturally responsive/culturally relevant teaching/pedagogy and culturally responsive/culturally relevant school leadership, before describing the implications for Black students of his own work and of other research that has been conducted on Black principals. This volume is essential reading for all educators interested in seeing a significant improvement in the academic and overall success of Black students. Preservice teachers, practitioners, and administrators will find enormous value in the book’s message. Perfect for courses such as: Introduction to Education │ Leadership for Equity and Social Justice in Education │ Black Education │ Multicultural Education │ School Leadership │ Culturally Responsive Leadership

Download or read book Handbook of Racism Xenophobia and Populism written by Adebowale Akande and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-12-08 with total page 971 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook presents the roots of symbolic racism as partly in both anti-black antagonism and non-racial conservative attitudes and values, representing a new form of racism independent of older racial and political attitudes. By doing so, it homes in on certain historical incidents and episodes and presents a cogent analysis of anti-black, Jim Crowism, anti-people of color (Black, Latino, Native Americans), and prejudice that exists in the United States and around the world as a central tenet of racism. The book exposes the reader to the nature and practice of stereotyping, negative bias, social categorization, modern forms of racism, immigration law empowerment, racialized incarceration, and police brutality in the American heartland. It states that several centuries of white Americans’ negative socializing culture marked by widespread negative attitudes toward African Americans, are not eradicated and are still rife. Further, the book provides a panoramic view of trends of racial discrimination and other negative and desperate challenges that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color face across the world. Finally, the volume examines xenophobia, racism, prejudice, and stereotyping in different contexts, including topics such as Covid-19, religion and racism, information manipulation, and populism. The book, therefore, is a must-read for students, researchers, and scholars of political science, psychology, history, sociology, communications/media studies, diplomatic studies, and law in general, as well as ethnic and racial studies, American politics, global affairs, populism, and discrimination in particular.

Book excerpt: In the vast expanse of the universe, there exists an intricate dance of celestial bodies that has captivated humanity for millennia. This dance, known as astrology, offers a profound lens through which we can perceive the interconnectedness between the cosmos and our own lives. At its core, astrology is a symbolic language that enables us to decode the mysteries of existence, understand our place in the cosmos, and align with the rhythms of the universe. The concept of astrology traces back to ancient civilizations who gazed upon the night sky with wonder and awe, seeking to discern patterns and meaning in the movements of the stars and planets. Over time, this intuitive exploration evolved into a sophisticated system of knowledge, encompassing diverse traditions and philosophies from cultures around the world. At the heart of astrology lies the idea that the positions and alignments of celestial bodies at the moment of our birth influence our personalities, behaviors, and life experiences. By mapping the positions of the planets in relation to the zodiac signs and houses, astrologers create a unique cosmic snapshot known as a birth chart or natal chart. This chart serves as a personalized guide, revealing the inherent qualities, potentials, and challenges encoded within our individual destinies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivational books are mere catalysts, kindling the spark within us, but it is our actions and self-belief that fan that spark into an inferno of possibility. Beyond the Pages of Motivational Books In the vast library of motivational literature, there exists a peculiar dichotomy—a flaw that conceals the true essence of success, obscuring it from eager seekers like yourself. Beneath the glossy covers and inspiring anecdotes lies a profound secret, a secret that transcends the written word and beckons you to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery. These books, adorned with captivating titles and promises of enlightenment, offer valuable insights and guidance, yet their pages only scratch the surface of the boundless reservoir of wisdom that awaits those willing to venture beyond their confines. They introduce you to the concepts and principles that underpin success, but often fail to reveal the paramount truth that lies at its core. For success is not a mere stringing of positive affirmations or a symphony of motivational clichés. It is an intricate mosaic, woven from the threads of passion, resilience, and unwavering determination. It is the unwritten chapter that lies between the lines, the unspoken wisdom that cannot be contained within the confines of a single book. The real secret, concealed within the folds of experience and the crucible of self-discovery, is that success is an individual odyssey—a unique journey that can only be undertaken by you, the protagonist of your own narrative. It is not a predefined path or a formulaic recipe, but a multifaceted exploration of your innate abilities, aspirations, and personal truths. These books, though well-intentioned, can only serve as signposts along the way—guiding lights that illuminate the possibilities that lie before you. They provide frameworks and insights, empowering you to forge your own path, to carve out a destiny that resonates with your deepest desires. Success is not found within the confines of a book, but within the depths of your own being. It is a journey of self-awareness, a process of unearthing your unique strengths and passions, and aligning them with purposeful action. It requires the courage to step beyond the pages, to venture into the uncharted territories of your own potential. As you navigate this exhilarating voyage, remember that the real secret lies not in the accumulation of knowledge, but in the application of that knowledge. It is not enough to passively consume the words of others; you must actively engage with the concepts, internalize them, and integrate them into your daily life. Embrace the realization that success is not a destination, but a lifelong pursuit—a dynamic, ever-evolving dance between aspiration and accomplishment. It is a symphony of dedication, perseverance, and adaptability, conducted by your unwavering commitment to growth and personal evolution. So, dear seeker of true success, let these books serve as stepping stones, not as final destinations. Embrace them as catalysts for introspection and inspiration, but do not confine yourself to their teachings alone. Explore, experiment, and forge your own path—one that is uniquely tailored to your dreams, passions, and aspirations. The real secret of success lies not in the words of others, but in your willingness to embark on an inner journey of self-discovery. It is in the moments of introspection, the leaps of faith, and the relentless pursuit of your dreams that the true essence of success reveals itself. Unlock the hidden chambers of your potential, and let the symphony of your own achievements resound throughout the world. Remember that you hold the key to your own success. The motivational books, with all their wisdom and guidance, can only serve as a compass.

Have you been transformed by His furious, passionate, unexplainable love? Join Brennan Manning, the bestselling author of The Ragamuffin Gospel, on a personal journey to experience Christ’s love and live with His passion.
