Black disability politics / by Schalk, Samantha Dawn,author.(CARDINAL)873466;

In so doing, she establishes a new lineage for disability politics, one that allows the work of contemporary Black disability justice activists to be central. Aiming to speak to both academic and activist audiences, Black Disability Politics identifies common qualities of Black disability politics and provides praxis-based approaches for enacting these politics in contemporary social justice work. Using the archives of the Black Panther Party and the National Black Women's Health Project alongside interviews with contemporary Black disabled cultural workers, Schalk argues that the work of Black disability politics not only exist, but are essential to the future of Black liberation movements"--

Shedding the shackles : women's empowerment through craft / by Stein, Lynne,Author(DLC)no2015035280;
Includes bibliographical references (page 188).A celebration of female inventiveness and aesthetic sensibility, Shedding the Shackles explores women's craft enterprises, their artisanal excellence, and the positive impact their individual projects have on breaking the poverty cycle. In the first part of the twentieth century, suffering from a legacy inherited from the Victorian era, craft skills, such as weaving, sewing, embroidery, and quilting were regarded largely as women's domestic pastimes, and remained undervalued and marginalised. It has taken several decades for attitudes to change, for the boundaries between 'fine art' and craft to blur, and for textile crafts to be given the same respect and recognition as other media. Featuring artisans and projects from across the globe Shedding the Shackles celebrates their vision and motivation giving a fascinating glimpse into how these craft initiatives have created a sustainable lifestyle, and impacted upon their communities at a deeper level.

Balanced leadership : making the best use of personal and team leadership in projects / by Müller, Ralf,1957-author.(CARDINAL)884425; Drouin, Nathalie,author.(CARDINAL)884420; Sankaran, Shankar,author.(CARDINAL)884452;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 195-207) and index."This book describes balanced leadership in projects. Based on an award winning global program of research studies on leadership reality in projects, this book shows that leadership changes constantly and is not as static as existing literature may suggests. Instead, leadership in projects is dynamically shifted between project managers, individual team members, and subteams, all balanced in situational contingency. Their leadership may be exercised through a vertical, horizontal, shared, or distributed leadership approach. However, it is balanced leadership that ensures the best suitable leadership approach is used in any given situation. For that, the book presents a project-specific leadership approach called horizontal leadership, a theory of balanced leadership, and the five building blocks that enable balanced leadership. These are nomination of team members, identification of potential leaders, selection and empowerment of leaders, empowered leadership and its governance, as well as leadership transition. Emphasis is also given to the coordination of these building blocks through the socio-cognitive space, shared by project manager and team. The book finishes with three real-life case studies that exemplify how balanced leadership unfolds in projects"--

Breakthroughs : re-creating the American city / by Peirce, Neal R.(CARDINAL)122887; Guskind, Robert.(CARDINAL)207258;
Home ownership in New York City's ravaged neighborhoods -- Portland's 1972 downtown plan: rebirth of the public city -- Boston's southwest corridor: people power makes history -- Lincoln's radical reuse: a quiet plains revolution -- Farm workers' ownhousing: self-help in Cabrillo village -- The Stowe recreation path: common ground."From Los Angeles to New York, the headlines from urban America proclaim riot, decline, and despair. This book is different. This book is about solutions: the Breakthroughs - the tentative, fragile, critical lead indicators that can serve as models for neighborhoods, communities, and cities looking toward the twenty-first century." "In vivid, colorful, often provocative prose, nationally syndicated authors Neal Peirce and Robert Guskind describe six innovative experiments in urban revitalization, winners of the Rudy Bruner Award for Excellence in the Urban Environment. The Bruner Award recognizes and rewards innovative projects that blend empowerment, diversity, and equity with effective design, social responsibility, and economic viability." "Authors Peirce and Guskind describe the premises underlying each project, the barriers that were overcome, and the substantial results that were achieved. They also tease out the vital lessons of what made these efforts work, lessons that stand as requirements for successful projects elsewhere: openness to innovation; decentralized decision-making; broad-based participation; empowerment of locally driven solutions. In commentaries at the end of each chapter, members of the judges panel describe the thinking behind their selection of these projects as exemplars of urban innovation." "This is essential reading for students, policy-makers, planners, and all those seeking a glimpse of a future in which we can take pride in being Americans."--Jacket.

An ambitious endeavor to empower citizens to protect financial and personal data in the face of increasingly authoritarian federal governments, Project Optimus is a threat to Aurelius Blanc's Phalanx Corporation.

With Phalanx squads hunting him and those he loves, Sinclair must determine who he can trust while a part of his past comes back to haunt him and threaten everything he holds dear.
