Book Synopsis #BlackInSchool by : Habiba Cooper Diallo
Download or read book #BlackInSchool written by Habiba Cooper Diallo and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A firsthand account of systemic anti-Black racism in Canadian schools The prevalence of anti-Black racism and its many faces, from racial profiling to police brutality, in North America is indisputable. How do we stop racist ideas and violence if the very foundation of our society is built upon white supremacy? How do we end systemic racism if the majority do not experience it or question its existence? Do our schools instill children with the ideals of equality and tolerance, or do they reinforce differences and teach children of colour that they don't belong? #BlackInSchool is Habiba Cooper Diallo's high school journal, in which she documents, processes, and resists the systemic racism, microaggressions, stereotypes, and outright racism she experienced in Canada's education system. Powerful and eye-opening, Cooper Diallo illustrates how our schools reinforce rather than erode racism: the handcuffing and frisking of students of colour by police at school, one-dimensional, tokenistic curricula of Black people, and the constant barrage of overt racism from students and staff alike. She shows how systemic racism works, how it alienates and seeks to destroys a child's sense of self. She shows how our institutions work to erase the lived experiences of Black youth and tries to erase Black youth themselves. Cooper Diallo's words will resonate with some, but should shock, appall, and animate a great many more into action towards a society that is truly equitable for all.

Download or read book Strands written by Mary Szczepanski and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maya is born in the year 2000, at the end of the Piscean Age, a time when the triumphs of technology provide comfort and convenience for the privileged, though many people are still impoverished and oppressed. As an Indigo child, Maya personifies the potential of the human race to move toward physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and social evolution. With an enhanced DNA, she's destined to bring a new energy into the world. As Maya grows, she learns to harness the power of intuition for healing. She can see into a person's soul and find the cause of distress. Using her presence and channeling healing energy, she reconnects people to themselves and their purpose. Even so, she often forgets her connection to the source of all energy and her commitment to help humanity evolve. Maya struggles in a profound paradox: her own fate is intertwined inextricably with the fates of everyone else. She's not alone. Others with new DNA strands have their own gifts and visions of hope. They know intuitively the vast wealth to be discovered in spiritual connections among people. Although they cannot stop the drama of climate change and natural disasters, they establish new political systems based on respect and inclusiveness. One thing is certain: a new human consciousness is slowly evolving.
Book Synopsis Community-based Media Pedagogies by : Bronwen Low
Download or read book Community-based Media Pedagogies written by Bronwen Low and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participatory media is a tool for individual and community education and development, allowing students to express and share their ideas and opinions, and to contribute to the production of the commons. Vital to the storytelling in these community spaces is listening—the listening of project facilitators to participants, of participants to each other, and of the public to the stories that emerge through these projects. Community-based Media Pedagogies examines the role of listening across community media sites to explore its relational qualities and to identify the kinds of teaching and learning that happen in these spaces. Drawing on community media projects and pedagogies across New York, Toronto, and Montreal, this volume documents the stories of racialized and marginalized minority youth and immigrants, and explores which relations and spaces facilitate listening.
Book Synopsis Ethnographic Fieldwork by : Jan Blommaert
Download or read book Ethnographic Fieldwork written by Jan Blommaert and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnographic fieldwork is something which is often presented as mysterious and inexplicable. How do we know certain things after having done fieldwork? Are we sure we know? And what exactly do we know? This book describes ethnographic fieldwork as the gradual accumulation of knowledge about something you don’t know much about. We start from ignorance and gradually move towards knowledge, on the basis of practices for which we have theoretical and methodological motivations. Jan Blommaert and Dong Jie draw on their own experiences as fieldworkers in explaining the complexities of ethnographic fieldwork as a knowledge trajectory. They do so in an easily accessible way that makes these complexities easier to understand and to handle before, during and after fieldwork.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He has come a long way both literally and figuratively from his days as a poor shepherd boy in Tunisia, North Africa, but Ben Amor is a symbol of what can happen when you don't give up and chase the American Dream until it comes true. The successful career man reinvented himself again after a dream in 1983 of children crying because they were dying of starvation. Unable to forget the sound of children crying, he founded Terra-Genesis Inc., a nonprofit agency that began as a way to try to end world hunger through technology. The book tells how a young man's vision and passion lead him to chase the American Dream in spite of many challenges and people calling him "crazy". Ben has his own experience with overcoming the odds, a journey he intimately describes in The Urban Shepherd. He shares his joys-and his sorrows-from humble beginnings working hard to survive in Tunisia, serving in the Tunisian Air Force, and moving to the United States to live. Through sharing his personal journey adjusting to a new culture, toxic relationships, professional and personal setbacks, and balancing school, work, and family life, Ben aims to empower readers to chase and reach the American Dream.

Staying perseverant in pursuit of a dream can be challenging, especially when one starts out with meager resources, lack of experience, and a continuous barrage of personal and professional setbacks. The Urban Shepherd takes you on an engaging journey through the souks of Tunisia, North Africa, to the bustle of the San Antonio, Texas, with its Alamo and Riverwalk.

As a Tunisian Muslim, he decided to join the air force and then moved to the United Sates to pursue the American Dream. The dream did not come easily, but eventually, it did come.
