Interviews by a Clueless White Woman
In 2020, the United States not only faced the devastation of COVID-19 but also witnessed widening gaps for marginalized groups during a time when it was critical to band together with compassion. Now more than ever, millions of individuals continue to face obstacles many of us cannot even begin to grasp. These are people who struggle because they have "otherness". Perhaps they are people of color or members of the LGBTQ+ community. Or both. Maybe they have physical, mental, or emotional disabilities. Perhaps they practice a religion other than Christianity. In Interviews by a Clueless White Woman, Amy Thornton Shankland shares stories of individuals who have experienced and continue to experience turmoil. It is her hope that these stories help increase understanding and unite us in our humanity.
Hoop Mama
When talented hoop dancer and staunch introvert Lily Black meets hoop instructor James Baker, her first instinct is to retreat. James sees possibilities within Lily that she had never imagined for herself. He encourages her to train for and enter a national hoop dance competition called The Circle. But Lily struggles with not only four decades of stage fright, but the recent loss of her husband due to cancer. Both cause pain for herself and her teenage children. Lily must fight to discover the confidence buried within herself and open up to the possibility of finding love and her true self- both with and without the hoop. Amy Thornton Shankland is the Grant Coordinator and Sustain Noblesville Chairperson for the City of Noblesville, Indiana. She is a graduate of Indiana University and has taught Dale Carnegie courses and written columns for the Noblesville Times. Amy volunteers at her church, her sons' school, and for her local Boy Scout pack. Most importantly, she is a wife and a mother of two 'tween boys. She is also obsessed with writing, reading, and hoop dancing.

Making Sense of the Global
Anthropology is more relevant than ever before to making sense of the constant intercultural encounters taking place around the world. Even though the discipline was born out of the need to understand the way humans interact, it had for decades been trapped in a counter-cultural stance that effectively disarmed it of any direct influence on public affairs. Recent global trends, however, have brought this academic discipline to the attention of governments, agencies, and social entrepreneurs, because of its capacity to create bridges of understanding between people of contrasting cultures. This ability is today more necessary than ever before in facing the challenges posed by the shrinking of our world. This volume provides reflections on what anthropological research can offer through its “thick” analyses. We are convinced that ethnographic research can contribute to a better understanding of social phenomena in our global times.
William Morris
The Critical Heritage gathers together a large body of critical sources on major figures in literature. Each volume presents contemporary responses to a writer's work, enabling students and researchers to read for themselves, for example, comments on early performances of Shakespeare's plays, or reactions to the first publication of Jane Austen's novels. The carefully selected sources range from landmark essays in the history of criticism to journalism and contemporary opinion, and little published documentary material such as letters and diaries. Significant pieces of criticism from later periods are also included, in order to demonstrate the fluctuations in an author's reputation. Each volume contains an introduction to the writer's published works, a selected bibliography, and an index of works, authors and subjects. The Collected Critical Heritage set will be available as a set of 68 volumes and the series will also be available in mini sets selected by period (in slipcase boxes) and as individual volumes.
