We still here : pandemic, policing, protest, & possibility / by Hill, Marc Lamont,author.(CARDINAL)484786; Barat, Frank,editor.(CARDINAL)502561; Taylor, Keeanga-Yamahtta,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)625005;
"In the midst of loss, death, and suffering, our charge is to figure out what freedom really means--and how we take steps to get there. The uprising of 2020 marks a new phase in the unfolding Movement for Black Lives. The brutal killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor, and countless other injustices large and small, lit the spark of the largest protest movement in US history against racism and the politics of disposability that the Covid-19 pandemic lays bare. In this urgent and incisive collection of new interviews bookended by two new essays, Marc Lamont Hill critically examines the "pre-existing conditions" that led us to this moment of upheaval, guiding us through both the perils and possibilities, and helping us imagine an abolitionist future."--

Casting lots : creating a family in a beautiful, broken world / by Silverman, Susan(Susan A.),author.(CARDINAL)642609;
"What does it mean to be a mother? Professional woman? Wife and partner? Sister, daughter ...? How do we discover the true meaning of identity? As a child, Susan Silverman was surrounded with a loving family--even if her parents weren't happily married, they were devoted to their kids. Not a terribly faith-based family, social justice was the religion practiced at the Silvermans' home. Susan's vibrant, funny, imminently relatable voice tells of a family growing up, from her parents' devastating loss of their infant son, to raising their bright, funny, wildly individual daughters. And it's also a creation story of her own family: raising her three bright, funny, wildly individual daughters, and the journey they make to adopt two boys from Ethiopia. A meditation on identity, faith, and belonging, the book will resonate with anyone who's struggled to find her own place in the world, what that place is, and how to create and sustain a family in a world full of chaos"--

The American girl goes to war : women and national identity in US silent film / by Clarke, Liz,1981-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- American Girls and National Identity -- Fighting Femininity on Home Soil in Civil War Films, 1908 to -- American Revolution and Other Wars -- Featuring Preparedness and Peace; or, America and the European War, Part I -- From Serial Queens to Patriotic Heroines; or, America and the European War, Part II -- The American Girl and Wartime Patriotism -- Conclusion"During the 1910s, films about war often featured a female protagonist. The films portrayed women as spies, cross-dressing soldiers, and athletic defenders of their homes-roles typically reserved for men and that contradicted gendered-expectations of home-front women waiting for their husbands, sons, and brothers to return from battle. The representation of American martial spirit-particularly in the form of heroines-has a rich history in film in the years just prior to the American entry into World War I. The American Girl Goes to War demonstrates the predominance of heroic female characters in in early narrative films about war from 1908 to 1919. American Girls were filled with the military spirit of their forefathers and became one of the major ways that American women's changing political involvement, independence, and active natures were contained by and subsumed into pre-existing American ideologies"--

Ukraine and Russia : from civilized divorce to uncivil war / by D'Anieri, Paul J.,1965-author.(CARDINAL)856847;
Includes bibliographical references and index."D'Anieri explores the dynamics within Ukraine, between Ukraine and Russia, and between Russia and the West, that emerged with the collapse of the Soviet Union and eventually led to war in 2014. Proceeding chronologically, this book shows how Ukraine's separation from Russia in 1991, at the time called a 'civilized divorce', led to what many are now calling 'a new Cold War'. He argues that the conflict has worsened because of three underlying factors - the security dilemma, the impact of democratization on geopolitics, and the incompatible goals of a post-Cold War Europe. Rather than a peaceful situation that was squandered, D'Anieri argues that these were deep-seated pre-existing disagreements that could not be bridged, with concerning implications for the resolution of the Ukraine conflict. The book also shows how this war fits into broader patterns of contemporary international conflict and should therefore appeal to researchers working on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia's relations with the West, and conflict and geopolitics more generally."--
