Описание: It has been well chronicled that Black professors have experienced a long history of inequities and inequalities within the academic space. This volume explores the experiences, challenges and triumphs experienced by Black professors.
Including personal essays written by Black professors, this volume showcases personal insights and inspirational stories from leading Black scholars across the US. It highlights and problematizes the uncomfortable truth of the lack of diversity in many higher education institutions in order to further discussions on the topic of race in academia, and to assist academics of color in preparing for their careers. Future academics will gain a sense of how to launch their careers, stay productive in research, teaching and service, and avoid the racial-related malaise that can hinder new academics of color.
By presenting discussions on professional development, and emphasizing the challenges and triumphs experienced by Black professors across disciplines, this book provides advice for junior Black scholars on how to navigate academe and tackle the challenges that Black scholars often face.

Описание: Examines the global legal challenges faced by adherents of the most widely practiced religions of the African diaspora in the twenty-first century, including Santeria/Lucumi, Haitian Vodou, Candomble, Palo Mayombe, Umbanda, Islam, Rastafari, Obeah, and Voodoo.
After 30 years as a professor in the field of Communication Studies, Dr. Smith reminisces about some of his experiences and how his race and differently abled intersectionality have influenced documented encounters. As a black and totally blind individual, he muses about how this distinction has both colored and shed light on what might have been innocuous or unremarkable encounters otherwise. This narrative charts his journey from leaving for graduate school to his present position as a tenured professor at a Midwest institution of higher learning. The memoir is riveting because of its vulnerability, candid honesty, and fresh transparency, as well as its conversational tone and quality. It is simultaneously an easy read but one that can also cause reflection and soul-searching without much warning. While the challenges of race and differently-abled issues are documented (and sometimes painfully so), Dr. Smith ultimately concludes that for the most part, these unique foci resulted in more positive outcomes than negative ones. It seems that only in America, is this story possible and the ultimate success of this memoir is clearly due to a strong faith in God, consistent and contagious family support, and hard work and perseverance.

Описание: Englishness is an idea, a consciousness and a proto-nationalism. There is no English state within the United Kingdom, no English passport, Parliament or currency, nor any immediate prospect of any. That does not mean that England lacks an identity, although English nationalism, or at least a distinctive nationalism, has been partly forced upon the English by the development in the British Isles of strident nationalisms that have contested Britishness, and with much success. So what is happening to the United Kingdom, and, within that, to England? Jeremy Black looks to the past in order to understand the historical identity of England, and what it means for English nationalism today, in a post-Brexit world. The extent to which English nationalism has a deep history is a matter of controversy, although he seeks to demonstrate that it exists, from 'the Old English State' onwards, predating the Norman invasion. He also questions whether the standard modern critique of politically partisan, or un-British, Englishness as extreme is merited? Indeed, is hostility to England, whatever that is supposed to mean, the principal driver of resurgent English nationalism? The Brexit referendum of 2016 appeared to have cancelled out Scottish and other nationalisms as an issue, but, in practice, it made Englishness a topic of particular interest and urgency, as set out in this short history of its origins and evolution.

Описание:
Upon completing his doctorate, Darrell Thomas interviewed at several universities before he and his wife, Vanessa were hired in a predominantly white university in the mid-west. Although they initially encountered problems renting an apartment, they started working at SAU where, as African-Americans, they endured discrimination, humiliation, and unfair ratings. Nonetheless, they persevered but gaining tenure and promotion was more tedious than they imagined. Regrettably, their experiences were not unique. Darrell therefore concludes with advice to personnel of color in predominantly white institutions. Professor Sakui W. G. Malakpa was born in Wozi, Lofa County Liberia. After losing his sight in high school, he studied at the school for the blind in Freetown, Sierra Leone before enrolling at Albert Academy also in Freetown. He later matriculated to Florida State University where, in three years, he earned a bachelors degree cum laude and in another year, he earned a masters degree with a 4.0 GPA. He then went to Harvard University and earned a second masters degree and a doctorate in Education before accepting a professorial position at the University of Toledo; he is now a full professor with tenure. Also, while at the University of Toledo, Professor Malakpa returned to school and earned a law degree.
Professor Malakpa has published extensively and has presented academic papers in parts of the world. He is married with children. He can be reached at sakui.malakpa@utoledo.edu or smalakpa@hotmail.com.

Описание: In this book, apparently inexplicable shifts in the conventional wisdom and the accompanying policy paradigm are explored against the historical backdrop since the second industrial revolution. In this context, inequality, poverty, free market capitalism and the welfare state have interacted in an uneasy, dynamic dance - the "insecurity cycle".
