Book Description
"I am a good guy. Good guys don't do bad things. Good guys understand that no means no, and so I could not have done this because I understand." Keir Sarafian knows many things about himself. He is a talented football player, a loyal friend, a devoted son and brother. Most of all, he is a good guy. And yet the love of his life thinks otherwise. Gigi says Keir has done something awful. Something unforgivable. Keir doesn't understand. He loves Gigi. He would never do anything to hurt her. So Keir carefully recounts the events leading up to that one fateful night, in order to uncover the truth. Clearly, there has been a mistake. But what has happened is, indeed, something inexcusable.

”This book is your chance to learn from others’ mistakes.”-- Entrepreneur In the 1960s, IBM CEO Tom Watson called an executive into his office after his venture lost $10 million. The man assumed he was being fired. Watson told him, “Fired? Hell, I spent $10 million educating you.

It is high time for more diversity in education, diversity that includes thorough, articulate, Black males. Contrary to popular belief, the need for a strong emergence of Black male teachers is not only for the benefit of Black boys and Black girls. Children and parents of all races and both genders need to be introduced to the antithesis of the stereotypical Black man and build strong, healthy relationships that will be the means for greater racial and ethnic harmony.

Amritsar 1919
Author: Kim A. Wagner
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300245467
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 493
Book Description
“Chronicles the run up to Jallianwala Bagh with spellbinding . . . focus. . . . Mr. Wagner’s achievement is one of balance . . . and, above, all, of perspective.” (The Wall Street Journal) The Amritsar Massacre of 1919 was a seminal moment in the history of the British Empire, yet it remains poorly understood. In this dramatic account, Kim A. Wagner details the perspectives of ordinary people and argues that General Dyer’s order to open fire at Jallianwalla Bagh was an act of fear. Situating the massacre within the “deep” context of British colonial mentality and the local dynamics of Indian nationalism, Wagner provides a genuinely nuanced approach to the bloody history of the British Empire. “Mr Wagner argues his case fluently and rigorously in this excellent book.” —The Economist “Written with a humane commitment to the truth that will impress.” —The Times “Skillfully maps a tale of growing tensions, precipitate action, and troubled aftermath.” —The Telegraph “A compelling account” —Financial Times “Wagner's postmortem of an imperial disaster should be widely read.” —R.A. Callahan, emeritus, Choice “The fullest, and by far the most authoritative, account of the causes and course of the Jallianwala massacre in any language.” —Nigel Collett, author of The Butcher of Amritsar “Mining a variety of sources – diaries, memoirs and court testimonies—[Wagner] uncovers fresh perspectives and examines the relation between colonial panic and state brutality with sophistication, sincerity and style.” —Santanu Das, author of India, Empire, and First World War Culture “Analytically sharp but gripping to read, the book is a page-turner”—Barbara D. Metcalf, co-author of A Concise History of India “An important book.” –Yasmin Khan, author of The Partition

Book Description
Girls' education, indisputably crucial to development, has received a lot of attention--but surprisingly little hardheaded analysis to inform practical policy solutions. In Inexcusable Absence, Maureen Lewis and Marlaine Lockheed propose new strategies for reaching the 70 percent of out-of-school girls who are "doubly disadvantaged" by their ethnicity, language, or other factors. The book will be an important tool for policymakers, informing interventions that can make a profound impact on the lives of the 60 million out-of-school girls.

Slavery and African Ethnicities in the Americas
Author: Gwendolyn Midlo Hall
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807876860
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Enslaved peoples were brought to the Americas from many places in Africa, but a large majority came from relatively few ethnic groups. Drawing on a wide range of materials in four languages as well as on her lifetime study of slave groups in the New World, Gwendolyn Midlo Hall explores the persistence of African ethnic identities among the enslaved over four hundred years of the Atlantic slave trade. Hall traces the linguistic, economic, and cultural ties shared by large numbers of enslaved Africans, showing that despite the fragmentation of the diaspora many ethnic groups retained enough cohesion to communicate and to transmit elements of their shared culture. Hall concludes that recognition of the survival and persistence of African ethnic identities can fundamentally reshape how people think about the emergence of identities among enslaved Africans and their descendants in the Americas, about the ways shared identity gave rise to resistance movements, and about the elements of common African ethnic traditions that influenced regional creole cultures throughout the Americas.

Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This is not your typical writer. This is not your typical story. It was not a typical life. So it is not a typical book. It certainly runs against the grain on every level. Enjoy. THE UNPROTECTED. Is an extremely compelling, brutally honest portrayal of the consequences a child must face by the cold and in-compassionate hands of abuse. As told through the blackened eyes and the horrific memories of the abused. And how those multiple abuses, mentally, emotionally, sexually and physically affected his life throughout the years, and led him down a deep dark path of rampant drug and alcohol abuse to escape the pain starting at a very young age. Also, how living through those abuses, and the poverty of having alcoholic and drug addicted parents. And a number of other adults through his early years, pushed him towards a life of lying, cheating and thievery to get what he thought he needed to have a better chance at a normal life. Victors memories start with the story of himself at four years old. Dealing with extreme mental and emotional torture by irrational parents who had him believe there was a Boogeyman living in the basement of his very first home that was going to take him downstairs for punishment whenever he misbehaved. Soon after that, he was sexually molested by two brothers that lived next door when he was seven years old. The middle of the story from nine to twelve is riddled with brutally descriptive physical abuses at the hands of his first stepfather. And he received absolutely no help at all from those that should have been there to protect him. Then, at twelve and a half years old, being run over by a car crushing both of his legs, with one of his earlier molesters behind the wheel of that car. You will be shocked by the brutally and insensitivity of the abusers, and be amazed by the strength and the desire to get through it by the abused. This is only the first volume of what will be three. But it is by far going to be the most important, as it will show how the child was molded into the man he would eventually become.

Book Description
Inexcusable Omissions explores the work of Clarence Karier and his impact on critical scholarship in the history of U.S. education. Twenty authors contribute essays that examine Karier's influence on the study of a wide range of issues central to the field, articulate the theoretical approaches that have guided Karier's inquiry, and engage the reader in biographical reflection. The essays converge on the complexities of new liberal social and educational theory and the impact that these ideas have had on the development of the American public school system. This is the landscape of the humanity and legacy of Clarence Karier as a historian of democracy's conscience and one of its most committed educators.
