In her groundbreaking history of 175 years of American education, Dana Goldstein finds answers in the past to the controversies that plague our public schools today. Teaching is a wildly contentious profession in America, one attacked and admired in equal measure. In The Teacher Wars, a rich, lively, and unprecedented history of public school teaching, Dana Goldstein reveals that teachers have been similarly embattled for nearly two centuries. From the genteel founding of the common schools movement in the nineteenth century to the violent inner-city teacher strikes of the 1960s and '70s, from the dispatching of Northeastern women to frontier schoolhouses to the founding of Teach for America...
In this future adventure, Gardai inspector Declan McGuinness leads a team that includes an Ethiopian inspector and a very sophisticated robot. The body of Daryl McGivern, the retired and eccentric CEO of an Irish American robotics company, is missing. The mystery of his whereabouts opens the door to the disappearance and apparent theft of hundreds of soldier robots. These robots, called soljabots, are internationally banned as weapons of war but, in a softer version, are being used as donations and "toy soldiers" in a war game. The war game was invented by McGivern, who was also one of the directors at Harp Society, a philanthropic organization. Harp has other directors who--along with a mysterious naval officer, Captain Jack Phang, a veteran of the South China Sea War--have different designs on the robots. Phang does not appear to be on anyone's database but emerges as an international person of interest and eventually a prime suspect in a larger mystery.
This book concentrates on six neo-slave narratives written by late 20th and early 21st century black American women: Octavia Butler’s Kindred, Phyllis Alesia Perry’s Stigmata and A Sunday in June, Gayl Jones’ Corregidora, Joan California Cooper’s Family, and Athena Lark’s Avenue of Palms. It explores the process of re(-)membering of the black female characters in these novels, and shows how these authors manage to both write the transgenerational trauma of slavery and write through it, enabling black American women’s voices to be heard. This analysis of famous classics, as well as less-known books, demonstrates how black American women’s traumatic memory of slavery is inscribed in a transgenerational black female body. Conjuring up questions of narratology and intertextuality, it highlights how working-through takes the form of a narrativization of this traumatic memory by diverse means. This book also reflects upon the links between the collective and personal psyches by laying emphasis on the ineluctable intertwining of national history and individual destiny.
