Jump, fall, fly : from schooling to homeschooling to unschooling / by Eldridge, Lehla,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)558471; Eldridge-Rogers, Anthony,author.;

In Jump Fall Fly, Lehla and Anthony Eldridge-Rogers, parents, coaches and creatives argue, from their own experience, for the right of children to pursue their own interests and learning through natural curiosity, play and joy. Their children's learning and education is led by the children themselves, driven by their interests, their passions, and their own innate problem solving abilities. Respect, democratic principle, equal dialogue, collaboration and kindness replace coercion, instruction, disciplining, obedience, competition and fear mongering. A challenging, counter intuitive, courageous proposal for abandoning our mainstream education system and systems of teaching, Jump, Fall, Fly suggests we need to abandon a broken unfixable system that is causing misery for children. It shows how doing this is, counter intuitively for many people, a joyful and fulfilling way to prepare children for the future world approaching at breakneck speed. At the same time there is more laughter, less toxic stress, better adult child relationships and a happier family life.

Mainstreaming black power / by Davies, Tom Adam,1983-author.(CARDINAL)628702;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: Black power and the American political mainstream -- A mouthful of civil rights and an empty belly?: the war on poverty and the fight for racial equality -- Community development corporations, black capitalism, and the mainstreaming of black power -- Black power and battles over education -- Black mayors and black progress: the limits of black political power."The traditional narrative of the civil rights movement has been that the more moderate demands of the mainstream movement, including Martin Luther King Jr., worked, but that the more "radical" demands of the Black Power movement derailed further success. Mainstreaming Black Power upends the traditional narrative by showing how Black Power Activists in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles during the 1960s through the 1970s navigated the nexus of public policies, black community organizations, elected officials, and liberal foundations. Tom Adam Davies unites local and national perspectives and reveals how the efforts of mainstream white politicians, institutions, and organizations engaged with Black Power ideology, and how they ultimately limited both the pace and extent of change."--Provided by publisher.

Shelter from the machine : homesteaders in the age of capitalism / by Strange, Jason G.,author.(CARDINAL)833860;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: Heaven in a flower -- You can see other people's poop -- A buzzel about Kantuck -- You can't eat scenery -- Never seen so much hair in your life -- Ain't nothin' in them books -- I haven't felt my hands in years -- Hard living -- Don't need their coal -- Epilogue: Without a chief."'You're either buried with your crystals or your shotgun.' That laconic comment captures the hippies-versus-hicks conflict that divides, and in some ways defines, modern-day homesteaders. It also reveals that back to-the-landers, though they may seek lives off the grid, remain connected to the most pressing questions confronting the United States today. Jason Strange shows where homesteaders fit, and don't fit, within contemporary America. Blending history with personal stories, Strange visits pig roasts and bohemian work parties to find people engaged in a lifestyle that offers challenge and fulfillment for those in search of virtues like self-employment, frugality, contact with nature, and escape from the mainstream. He also lays bare the vast differences in education and opportunity that leave some homesteaders dispossessed while charting the tensions that arise when people seek refuge from the ills of modern society -- only to find themselves indelibly marked by the system they dreamed of escaping"--

Race experts : how racial etiquette, sensitivity training, and new age therapy hijacked the civil rights revolution / by Lasch-Quinn, Elisabeth.(CARDINAL)207092;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 233-254) and index.The new racial etiquette: The ritual of racial reprimand -- Radical chic and the rise of a politics of therapy -- The encounter group: A new interracial mode for integration -- Racial identity theory: Groundwork for a renewal of suspicion -- Revolt against repression: New Age therapy from the fringe to mainstream -- A world of endless slights: Diversity training and its illogical consequences -- In perpetual recovery: The problem with multicultural education for self-esteem."Controversial and strikingly original, Race Experts looks at how we capsized racial progress in the quest for self-esteem." "Race Experts uncovers the hidden trajectory and terms of our thinking about race relations since the 1960s. Since segregation's dismantling, intense anxiety has surrounded interracial encounters, and a movement has arisen to engineer social relations through the specification of elaborate codes of conduct." "Diversity training in business, multicultural education in schools, and cross-cultural psychotherapy have created a world of prescriptions. Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn carefully analyzes the teachings of these self-appointed "experts" and offers a bold and searching analysis of the origins of their ideas in the human potential movement and the radical milieu of the 1960s." "Casting race primarily as an issue of etiquette or therapy, rather than of justice or equality, has had dire consequences for American life, diverting attention from the deeper problems of poverty, violence, and continued inequality and discrimination. In this sobering analysis, Race Experts illuminates how far away we are from the issues that deserve our attention."--Jacket.

A is for Affrilachia / by Walker, Frank X.,1961-author.(CARDINAL)459512; Upfromsumdirt,illustrator.(CARDINAL)861654;

"The people and places in Appalachia are as rich, multifaceted, and diverse as the region itself. When author Frank X Walker first coined the phrase "Affrilachia," he wanted to ensure that the voices and accomplishments of African Americans in that region were recognized and exalted. A is for Affrilachia not only brings awareness of notable African Americans from this region, but this inspired children's alphabet book is also an exuberant celebration of the people, physical spaces, and historical events that may not be as well-known in mainstream educational structures. Illustrate by acclaimed artist Ronald W. Davis, every image exudes vibrancy, beauty, and whimsy as it depicts each of the alphabetized words alongside the corresponding letter. Featured are a range of musicians, artists, and activists, as well as mountain ranges, literary works, and coal mining implements. Famous names, such as playwright August Wilson, writer Nikki Giovanni, actor Chadwick Boseman, and singer Nina Simone are spotlighted, as well as lesser-known individuals, such as artists Romare Bearden and musician Amythyst Kiah. Particularly poignant are the letters representing the four girls-Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley-who were killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963. Equipped with a glossary to engage discussion regarding the importance of the individuals and places represented, this children's book is unique and engaging ABC primer that offers a rich display of regional, racial, and cultural heritage through word and image"--Ages 6 and up

The sky is falling : how vampires, zombies, androids, and superheroes made America great for extremism / by Biskind, Peter,author.(CARDINAL)730991;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Almost everything has been invoked to account for Trump's victory and the rise of the alt-right, from job loss to racism to demography--everything, that is, except popular culture. In The Sky Is Falling bestselling cultural journalist Peter Biskind dives headlong into two decades of popular culture--from superhero franchises such as the Dark Knight, X-Men, and the Avengers and series like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones to thrillers like Homeland and 24--and emerges to argue that these shows are saturated with the values that are currently animating our extreme politics.Where once centrist institutions and their agents--cops and docs, soldiers and scientists, as well as educators, politicians, and "experts" of every stripe--were glorified by mainstream Hollywood, the heroes of today's movies and TV, whether far right or far left, have overthrown this quaint ideological consensus. Many of our shows dramatize extreme circumstances--an apocalypse of one sort or another--that require extreme behavior to deal with, behavior such as revenge, torture, lying, and even the vigilante violence traditionally discouraged in mainstream entertainment.In this bold, provocative, and witty investigation, Biskind shows how extreme culture now calls the shots. It has become, in effect, the new mainstream.--provided by publisher.
