Download or read book More Than an Ally written by Michael L. Boucher and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caring Solidarity framework is both descriptive and aspirational. It is an attempt to empower White teachers to do the work of interrogating their racial privilege and join in Caring Solidarity with their African American students. The framework can be used to describe teachers who are working in Caring Solidarity with their students and to develop teachers with intention toward Caring Solidarity. We are in a unique historical moment that demands White teachers become more effective in their schools, classrooms, and communities and for researchers to find ways to describe those teachers who build relationships of solidarity with students. Considering today’s tenor of the conversation around race, picking up this book and considering its contents is an act of defiance of the current climate, and/or one of devotion to the art and craft of teaching children. Caring Solidarity is not a replacement for current frameworks such as Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy or Abolitionist Pedagogy but is a map for White teachers to journey toward those pedagogies. Everyone starts from somewhere. The path is winding and long but the goal, to create an equitable and humane classroom, is worth the trip. The purpose of this theory is to point the way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available as an ebook. Three-year-old William Tyrrell made headlines across Australia in 2014 after he disappeared while playing outside his foster grandmother’s house in Kendall on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Writer and researcher Ally Chumley, who has lived a stone’s throw from Kendall for decades, watched as the events that unfolded devastated the community and the country. It grabbed her, as a mum of two boys, by the heart and didn’t let go. Compelled by a need to understand, Ally began investigating. Searching for Spiderman takes us on an intriguing hunt through state forests, waterways and old bush camps. Solid clues, gossamer leads and red herrings abound. Everyone’s a suspect. There are anonymous foster parents veiled in secrecy, neighbours who distrust each other, local paedophiles and a parade of persons of interest. Instead of having too few suspects, detectives have too many. Among it all is William’s own birth family, who once hid the toddler from authorities. This bizarre cast of characters keeps everyone guessing, particularly when a veteran lead detective is sensationally removed from the case and subsequently quits the force. Where is little Spiderman? With powerful storytelling skills, writer and local resident Ally Chumley brings this puzzling tale to life. She reveals the very latest from the inquest into William’s disappearance and helps to resolve the speculation, assumption and misinformation that have riddled the case. It’s time to go beyond the headlines and the soundbites. It’s time Australia knew the truth.

Download or read book Beyond Ally written by Maysa Akbar and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doing anti-racist work can be profoundly transformational for White people. Not only does it allow them to live their values of justice and equality, but it also helps develop skills like listening, sharing power, and working through conflict. Now more than ever, humanity must bridge the racial divides that exist within our society. Dr. Maysa Akbar, a race-based trauma expert, and originator of the Urban Trauma(R) framework, deftly delineates what the allyship process is for White people to align themselves with people of color through the lens of a person of color. Dr. Akbar illuminates the concept of White Privilege, the societal barrier which breeds and sustains racism, formulated by generations of oppression. She redefines previous frameworks of allyship, and through her new identity model of allyship, she constructs a much-needed pathway towards race-based rectification for White people. We are facing a global tipping point with regard to racism. To be successful, White people must provide support in the right way. This book not only educates on how we got here but also shows how we address it and fix it moving forward.
