Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winer of the 2008 Critics' Choice Award presented by the American Educational Studies Association Expelling Hope raises critical questions about the effects of punitive policies, particularly "zero tolerance," and repressive social relationships on youth (of color) and public schooling. It argues convincingly that zero tolerance is a catchword, or linchpin, for an array of discourses and social practices that support the criminalization of youth, the militarization of public schooling and culture, and the marketization of public life. Politically impassioned and intellectually rigorous, the book provides the framework for an alternative vision of youth and schooling, one rooted in hope that calls for youth to be treated as agents of a democratic future.

This adventuresome story further goes on to describe how Robie, a now highly sought after and wanted fugitive by the United League of Planets and the Aurelian Empire, is transported back to Earth through time and space with the help of his alien cohorts and with the use of a Myrddissian Time and Space Continuum Device, some 800,000 years. Yes, onto the ancient and fabled continent of Atlantis, where he, Robie, with the assistance of the Atlantean high priests, the ruling class, and their greatly advanced and alien-provided technology, he is able to begin, once again, his extensive and sometimes fraught with danger, search for his missing father, Emrys Myrddin Calyx.

Book Synopsis Politics After Hope by : Henry A. Giroux
Download or read book Politics After Hope written by Henry A. Giroux and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the new administration moved beyond its first year in office, Obama's politics of hope increasingly has been transformed into a politics of accommodation. To many of his supporters, his quest for pragmatism and realism has become a weakness rather than a strength. By focusing on those areas where Obama grounded his own sense of possibility, Giroux critically investigates the well-being and future of young people, including the necessity to overcome racial injustices, the importance of abiding by the promise of a democracy to come, and the indisputable value of education in democracy. Giroux shows why considerations provide the ethical and political foundations for enabling hope to live up to its promises, while making civic responsibility and education central to a movement that takes democracy seriously.
Book Synopsis Rampage Violence Narratives by : Kathryn E. Linder
Download or read book Rampage Violence Narratives written by Kathryn E. Linder and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Springfield. Columbine. Sandy Hook. Each school shooting in the United States is followed by a series of questions. Why does this happen? Who are the shooters? How can this be prevented? Along with parents, school officials, media outlets, and scholars, popular culture has also attempted to respond to these questions through a variety of fictional portrayals of rampage violence. Rampage Violence Narratives: What Fictional Accounts of Rampage Violence Say about the Future of America’s Youth offers a detailed look at the state of youth identity in American cultural representations of youth violence through an extended analysis of over forty primary sources of fictional narratives of urban and suburban/rural school violence. Representations of suburban and rural school shootings that are modeled after real-life events serve to shape popular understandings of the relationship between education and American identity, the liminal space between childhood and adulthood, and the centrality of white heterosexual masculinity to definitions of social and political success in the United States. Through a series of "case studies" that offer in-depth examinations of fictional depictions of school shootings in film and literature, it becomes clear that these stories are representative of a larger social narrative regarding the future of the United States. The continuing struggle to understand youth violence is part of an ongoing conversation about what it means to raise future citizens within a cultural moment that views youth through a lens of anxiety rather than optimism.
Book Synopsis The Deportation Machine by : Adam Goodman
Download or read book The Deportation Machine written by Adam Goodman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By most accounts, the United States has deported around five million people since 1882-but this includes only what the federal government calls "formal deportations." "Voluntary departures," where undocumented immigrants who have been detained agree to leave within a specified time period, and "self-deportations," where undocumented immigrants leave because legal structures in the United States have made their lives too difficult and frightening, together constitute 90% of the undocumented immigrants who have been expelled by the federal government. This brings the number of deportees to fifty-six million. These forms of deportation rely on threats and coercion created at the federal, state, and local levels, using large-scale publicity campaigns, the fear of immigration raids, and detentions to cost-effectively push people out of the country. Here, Adam Goodman traces a comprehensive history of American deportation policies from 1882 to the present and near future. He shows that ome of the country's largest deportation operations expelled hundreds of thousands of people almost exclusively through the use of voluntary departures and through carefully-planned fear campaigns that terrified undocumented immigrants through newspaper, radio, and television publicity. These deportation efforts have disproportionately targeted Mexican immigrants, who make up half of non-citizens but 90% of deportees. Goodman examines the political economy of these deportation operations, arguing that they run on private transportation companies, corrupt public-private relations, and the creation of fear-based internal borders for long-term undocumented residents. He grounds his conclusions in over four years of research in English- and Spanish-language archives and twenty-five oral histories conducted with both immigration officials and immigrants-revealing for the first time the true magnitude and deep historical roots of anti-immigrant policy in the United Statesws that s
Download or read book Harvest of Hope written by Mark Veber and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some may claim that they've had moments of deja vu, or the uncanny ability to see what is about to happen, like determining the end of a movie, or feeling like you have been somewhere before, based on nothing but intuition. However, what if you could acquire a prescreening of your future, would you? Or would you prefer whatever happens, happens without your destiny ever being revealed? Well, for Hope Wilson, that was never an option. Considering it both a blessing and a curse, she marches through life alone understanding those same premonitions will lead her ever closer to the man she will eventually meet and fall in love with. Often described as a selfless woman, Hope donates much of her time and money to the less fortunate, aiding anyone in need, even knowing her destined path is about to change. That is when John walks in, a man who is looking for his own purpose, while he himself searches for that one special person who will stand beside him through it all. With the love and support of her family and friends like Elvin, John's college roommate, and Liz, Hope's best friend, they embrace what life offers, with all the normalcies of life's twists and turns. And even though Hope strictly adheres to her rule of her not changing anyone's futures, they each optimistically focus on their tomorrows. How will it all turn out? Only Hope knows.
Book Synopsis Education as Enforcement by : Kenneth Saltman
Download or read book Education as Enforcement written by Kenneth Saltman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-13 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume to focus on the intersections of militarization, corporations, and education, Education as Enforcement exposed the many ways schooling has become the means through which the expansion of global corporate power are enforced. Since publication of the first edition, these trends have increased to disturbing levels as a result of the extensive militarization of civil society, the implosion of the neoconservative movement, and the financial meltdown that radically called into question the basic assumptions undergirding neoliberal ideology. An understanding of the enforcement of these corporate economic imperatives remains imperative to a critical discussion of related militarized trends in schools, whether through accountability and standards, school security, or other discipline based reforms. Education as Enforcement elaborates upon the central arguments of the first edition and updates readers on how recent events have reinforced their continued original relevance. In addition to substantive updates to several original chapters, this second edition includes a new foreword by Henry Giroux, a new introduction, and four new chapters that reveal the most contemporary expressions of the militarization and corporatization of education. New topics covered in this collection include zero-tolerance, foreign and second language instruction in the post-9/11 context, the rise of single-sex classrooms, and the intersection of the militarization and corporatization of schools under the Obama administration.

Book Synopsis Applied Theatre: A Pedagogy of Utopia by : Selina Busby
Download or read book Applied Theatre: A Pedagogy of Utopia written by Selina Busby and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the 2022 TaPRA David Bradby Monograph Prize Applied Theatre is a widely accepted term to describe a set of practices that encompass community, social and participatory theatre making. It is an area of performance practice that is flourishing across global contexts and communities. However, this proliferation is not unproblematic. A Pedagogy of Utopia offers a critical consideration of long-term applied and participatory theatre projects. In doing so, it provides a timely analysis of some of the concepts that inform applied theatre and outlines a new way of thinking about making theatre with differing groups of participants. The book problematizes some key concepts including safe spaces, voice, ethical practice and resistance. Selina Busby analyses applied theatre projects in India, the USA and the UK, in youth theatres, homeless shelters, prisons and with those living in informal housing settlements to consider her key question: What might a pedagogy of utopia look like? Drawing on 20-years of practice in a range of contexts, this book focuses on long-term interventions that raise troubling questions about applied theatre, cultural colonialism and power, while arguing that community or participatory theatre conversely has the potential to generate a resilient sense of optimism, or what Busby terms, a 'nebulous utopia'.
Book Synopsis On Access in Applied Theatre and Drama Education by : Colette Conroy
Download or read book On Access in Applied Theatre and Drama Education written by Colette Conroy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores and interrogates access and diversity in applied theatre and drama education. Access is persistently framed as a strategy to share power and to extend equality, but in the context of current and recent power struggles, it is also seen as a discourse that reinforces marginalisation and exclusion. The political bind of access is also a conceptual problem. It is impossible to refuse to engage in strategies to extend access to institutions, representations, buildings, education, discourse, etc. We cannot oppose access or strategies for access without reinforcing marginalisation and exclusion. We can’t not want access for ourselves or for others. However, we are then in danger of remaining immersed in a distribution of power that reinforces and naturalises inequality as difference. For applied theatre and drama education, the act of creating, teaching, and learning is intrinsically connected to choice, along with the agency and capacity to choose. What is less clear, and what still interests us, is how the distribution of power and representation creates the schema for an analysis of access and diversity. This book was originally published as a special issue of Research in Drama Education: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance.
