Boy @ the Window
As a preteen Black male growing up in Mount Vernon, New York, there were a series of moments, incidents and wounds that caused me to retreat inward in despair and escape into a world of imagination. For five years I protected my family secrets from authority figures, affluent Whites and middle class Blacks while attending an unforgiving gifted-track magnet school program that itself was embroiled in suburban drama. It was my imagination that shielded me from the slights of others, that enabled my survival and academic success. It took everything I had to get myself into college and out to Pittsburgh, but more was in store before I could finally begin to break from my past. "Boy @ The Window" is a coming-of-age story about the universal search for understanding on how any one of us becomes the person they are despite-or because of-the odds. It's a memoir intertwined with my own search for redemption, trust, love, success-for a life worth living. "Boy @ The Window" is about one of the most important lessons of all: what it takes to overcome inhumanity in order to become whole and human again.
The Divine Mandate
God is the Healer. Healing is not just something God does. It is who He is! So why don't we hear more about God's healing touch in church? The primary reason we don't hear divine healing preached more from the pulpit in the United States is fear. We are afraid. We are afraid that if we preach that Jesus is the Healer, people will want to be healed; and we are afraid that when people come to us for prayer, nothing will happen! So instead of asking for more anointing to heal, we shut up the message on healing altogether. But that is about to change. In this inspiring resource, you will: -Settle the question once and for all: Does God want you healed? -Find out who, when, where, and how Jesus heals, so you can apply the same Scriptural patterns Jesus uses to your own life. -Learn how to receive healing in your own body! -Be activated with boldness to step out and heal others in Jesus' name. Are you ready for your life, your ministry, and your church to be changed forever?
White Reign
What does it mean to be white in today's society? Is whiteness an ethnicity? White Reign tackles questions like these by examining whiteness as a cultural concept that our society has created and exposing the systems that teach us how we think about race, including schools, media, and even cyberspace. These essays examine the construction of white identity and the possibility of reshaping whiteness in a progressive, nonracist manner, presenting a culture of whiteness that can be employed by educators, parents, and citizens concerned with racial justice.
Gender, Ethnicity and Sexuality in Contemporary American Film
Over the past ten years Hollywood has devoted big budgets and established stars to films about controversial issues, while identities previously considered marginal have come into prominence on the big screen. The authors examine the issues raised by these developments, bringing together debates in identity politics with film studies and launching an innovative theorisation of cinematic representation of identity. Movies from Forrest Gump to Philadelphia, from Malcolm X to Falling Down, have engaged explicitly with notions of multiculturalism and identity politics. This book is concerned pre-eminently with the meanings put into circulation by these mainstream films and audiences' readings of them. It provides a brief and accessible introduction to such issues as arguments over positive and negative images and the relationship between cultural representation and political power.
