Download or read book Learning in Public written by Courtney E. Martin and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This "provocative and personally searching"memoir follows one mother's story of enrolling her daughter in a local public school (San Francisco Chronicle), and the surprising, necessary lessons she learned with her neighbors. From the time Courtney E. Martin strapped her daughter, Maya, to her chest for long walks, she was curious about Emerson Elementary, a public school down the street from her Oakland home. She learned that White families in their gentrifying neighborhood largely avoided the majority-Black, poorly-rated school. As she began asking why, a journey of a thousand moral miles began. Learning in Public is the story, not just Courtney’s journey, but a whole country’s. Many of us are newly awakened to the continuing racial injustice all around us, but unsure of how to go beyond hashtags and yard signs to be a part of transforming the country. Courtney discovers that her public school, the foundation of our fragile democracy, is a powerful place to dig deeper. Courtney E. Martin examines her own fears, assumptions, and conversations with other moms and dads as they navigate school choice. A vivid portrait of integration’s virtues and complexities, and yes, the palpable joy of trying to live differently in a country re-making itself. Learning in Public might also set your family’s life on a different course forever.

Download or read book Public Nudity and the Rhetoric of the Body written by Brett Lunceford and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although nudity is something that everyone has experience with, public nudity is still largely considered taboo. Public Nudity and the Rhetoric of the Body examines instances of public nudity where sexuality is at the forefront of public body display. It presents a range of case studies: the legal aspects of sexualized public nudity as it relates to communication theory and the First Amendment; the controversies surrounding the work of photographer Jock Sturges; the public performance art of Milo Moiré; the topless protests of FEMEN; the social media activism of Aliaa Magda Elmahdy; the ritualized flashing during Mardi Gras in New Orleans; and the sexual displays of Folsom Street Fair, the largest leather pride festival. Taken together, these cases teach much about identity, self-determination, and sexuality, and illustrate the complicated rhetorical nature of the human body in the public sphere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis thought he had it all figured out. He couldn’t have been more wrong. If you ask Louis, he’s a rock star. Just the right amount of sarcastic, cute, and only slightly delusional. He attends the best high school — in Paris no less — has the coolest best friend and the fiercest girlfriend, and he’s absolutely, a hundred per cent straight. So no, Michael, the new British student, with his dark curls and sweet smiles, doesn’t interest him whatsoever. And when a teacher pairs the two to write an essay together and Louis gets all worked up about it, he can always tell himself he doesn’t have a choice. Slowly and inevitably, the two of them become friends, and perhaps a little more. Soon, Michael's presence in Louis's life makes him question everything: his lifestyle, his friendships, and whether he actually ever liked girls. I Want To Kiss You In Public is a story about friendship, self-love, truth and heartbreak, sprinkled with over-the-top comedy, suitable for fans of Skam, Skins, and Sex Education. Please check out the content warnings before reading. The Colette International characters act like teens in many ways, including the unsavory ones; such as cussing, drinking, and making mistakes. Influenced by Japanese Boys' Love stories, the series are also unapologetically cartoonish at times.
