Download or read book Queen Mothers written by Rhonda Jeffries and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black women’s experiences functioning as mothers, teachers and leaders are confounding and complex. Queen Mothers from Ghanaian tradition are revered as the leaders of their matrilineal families and the teachers of the high chiefs (Müller, 2013; Stoeltje, 1997). Conversely, the influence of the British Queen Mother on Black women in the Americas translates as a powerless title of (dis)courtesy. Characterized as a deviant figure by colonialists, the Black Queen Mother’s role as disruptive agent was created by White domination of Black life (Masenya, 2014) and this branding persists among contemporary perceptions of Black women who function as the mother, teacher, or leader figure in various spaces. Nevertheless, Black women as cultural anomalies were suitable to mother others for centuries in their roles as chattel and domestic servants in the United States. Dill (2014), Lawson (2000), Lewis (1977) and Rodriguez (2016) provide explorations of the devaluation of Black women in roles of power with these effects wide-ranging from economic and family security, professional and business development, healthcare maintenance, political representation, spiritual enlightenment and educational achievement. This text interrogates contexts where Black women function as Queen Mothers and contests the trivialization of their manifold contributions. The contributed chapters explore: The myriad experiences of Black women mothering, teaching and leading their children, families and communities; how spirituality has influenced the leadership styles of Black women as mothers and teachers; and how Black women are uniquely positioned to mother, teach, and lead in personal and professional spaces.

Book Synopsis Things I Have Saw and Did by : Danny Andrews
Download or read book Things I Have Saw and Did written by Danny Andrews and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Things I Have Saw and Did”—the title derived from a grammatically challenged sports officiating friend—is a compilation of some 250 stories gleaned from Danny Andrews’s diverse life experiences. He has been a journalist, including 39 years of column, news, feature and sports writing for The Plainview, Texas, Daily Herald; sports broadcaster, sports official and basketball magazine publisher; involved in a variety of community organizations; an active Christian layman; and, for the past eight years, the alumni director at his alma mater, Wayland Baptist University. The stories include his family; growing-up years in Plainview; longtime friends and chance encounters with celebrities; experiences in school and Wayland; playing, officiating, reporting on, and broadcasting sports; interesting Herald and Hearst newspaper colleagues and experiences; faith, church and mission ventures; and a collection of miscellaneous tales. Andrews says he’s been “Thinking Out Loud” (the title of his Herald column for 28 years and his musings for the Wayland alumni magazine) since his formal journalism career began almost 50 years ago. He brings his subjects to life with vivid detail, humor and pathos, hoping to foster in readers memories of their own similar experiences, to take them vicariously to meet with presidents in the White House, confront cantankerous newspaper readers, share humorous glimpses of sports officiating and broadcasting, relate tales that prove this is a small world after all and, perhaps, encourage their own faith journey.
Book Synopsis Filipinos in Stockton by : Dawn B. Mabalon, Ph.D.
Download or read book Filipinos in Stockton written by Dawn B. Mabalon, Ph.D. and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Filipino settlers arrived in Stockton, California, around 1898, and through most of the 20th century, this city was home to the largest community of Filipinos outside the Philippines. Because countless Filipinos worked in, passed through, and settled here, it became the crossroads of Filipino America. Yet immigrants were greeted with signs that read "Positively No Filipinos Allowed" and were segregated to a four-block area centered on Lafayette and El Dorado Streets, which they called "Little Manila." In the 1970s, redevelopment and the Crosstown Freeway decimated the Little Manila neighborhood. Despite these barriers, Filipino Americans have created a vibrant ethnic community and a rich cultural legacy. Filipino immigrants and their descendants have shaped the history, culture, and economy of the San Joaquin Delta area.
