Feeling Photography
This innovative collection demonstrates the profound effects of feeling on our experiences and understanding of photography. It includes essays on the tactile nature of photos, the relation of photography to sentiment and intimacy, and the ways that affect pervades the photographic archive. Concerns associated with the affective turn—intimacy, alterity, and ephemerality, as well as queerness, modernity, and loss—run through the essays. At the same time, the contributions are informed by developments in critical race theory, postcolonial studies, and feminist theory. As the contributors bring affect theory to bear on photography, some interpret the work of contemporary artists, such as Ca...
Head, Heart, and Hand: Jbu and Modern Evangelical Higher Education (c)
In 1919 John Brown and his wife committed their three-hundred-acre farm in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, as the site for the school known today as John Brown University. Brown's vision was to educate the underprivileged students of the rural Ozarks in a morally wholesome spiritual environment and to instill in them his Christian religious faith and his conception of meaningful work. Head, Heart, and Hand is the history of how this university became a distinguished academic institution that changed with the times while maintaining its original evangelical character. From back cover.

Black Female Sexualities
Western culture has long regarded black female sexuality with a strange mix of fascination and condemnation, associating it with everything from desirability, hypersexuality, and liberation to vulgarity, recklessness, and disease. Yet even as their bodies and sexualities have been the subject of countless public discourses, black women’s voices have been largely marginalized in these discussions. In this groundbreaking collection, feminist scholars from across the academy come together to correct this omission—illuminating black female sexual desires marked by agency and empowerment, as well as pleasure and pain, to reveal the ways black women regulate their sexual lives. The twelve orig...

The Chosen One
I wrote this book from the time I was two years old up until the present day to tell my life story about the trials that life puts you through, and many of the trials have been very hard and bitter. They left scars in my heart, and at times, I was wondering if God was watching over me. But through it all, I remember what the Christian family that I grew up in has taught me and made me realize all I had to do was to call his name, and he would comfort me in my time of need. I'm hoping this book would be an inspiration for someone going through similar trials!
