Ethnographies in Pan Pacific Research
The book is about exciting ethnographic happenings in the vibrant and growing global interface which includes Australia, New Zealand, and some of the Asian geographical regions, as well as - more broadly - the global South. It explores ethnographic writing as culture(s) (re)produced, positionalities of authors, tensions between authors and others, multi-faceted groups, and as co-productions of these works. The contributors describe and discuss a variety of topical areas of interest, from Facebook to memory work, from children's sexuality to urban racism, from meanings of Indigenous knowledge to how communities can come together to retain what is valuable to themselves. The authors also manage to locate themselves and others (positionings) in the research hierarchies (tensions). This is a valuable guide to the effects of 21st-century ethnography on the qualitative research project.
Mahogany Nectar
Highlighting the good, the bad, the ugly and the hilarity of twenty some years Mahogany Nectar takes you to the initial stages that forged a bond between the author, the pen and the written word. The author speaks about a broken home, a loving mother, a puzzle-piece lineage, woes of the collegiate life, proms and promenades, death, rebirths, sexuality lessons at the neighborhood park and community pool. Although the bookend to the saccharine glazed trilogy, sharing these experiences is only the beginning!
Metaliterate Learning for the Post-Truth World
Foreword by Troy A. Swanson Metaliteracy, Jacobson and Mackey’s revolutionary framework for information literacy, is especially well suited as a tool for ensuring that learners can successfully navigate the proliferation of fake news, questionable content, and outright denialism of facts in today’s information morass. Indeed, it is starkly evident that the competencies, knowledge, and personal attributes specific to metaliterate individuals are critical; digital literacy and traditional conceptions of information literacy are insufficient for the significant challenges we currently face. This book examines the newest version of the Metaliteracy Goals and Learning Objectives, including th...
August Wilson
Contributors to this collection of 15 essays are academics in English, theater, and African American studies. They focus on the second half of Wilson's century cycle of plays, examining each play within the larger context of the cycle and highlighting themes within and across particular plays.

The book offers an index of plays, critics, and theorists, but not a subject index. Nadel is chair of American literature and culture at the University of Kentucky.

Most importantly, these students and faculty seek acceptance beyond admittance and employment. While this desire for acceptance is universal, there is no guarantee of achieving it. For some, simply settling in often is not possi...

Lifeline
Lifeline is an intriguing book of poetry describing the exquisiteness of a world with unbounded and unconfined limitations for success, a word used purposely to provoke pain is a word that can be used to evoke a world of profound possibilities. Although the "line" may at times become a desolate epoch, life is always present and needs to be revived. "Her poems are mature in the style of writing, very descriptive and show deep knowledge of literary methods and language." -Judy Y. Gaskins Teacher "She combines a remarkable "sage-like" wisdom with the staccato acumen of contemporary hip-hop. From cinquain, to haiku, to sonnet to free verse, Ivy's poetry is as rich as it is intricate." -Dr. Kimmika L. H. Williams-Witherspoon, PhD Temple University
