  Collecting over twenty-five essays written by more than twenty California Indian authors, Know We Are Here surveys many of the ways California's Indigenous communities are resisting the legacies of genocide. Focusing on the particular histories, challenges, and dynamics of life in Native California—which are often very different from elsewhere in the United States—the book collects essays from writers across the state. It encompasses the perspectives of both elders and the rising generation, and the contributors include activists, academics, students, memoirists, and tribal leaders. The collection examines histories of resistance to colonialism in California, the reclaiming of cultures and languages, the connection of place and nature to wellness in tribal communities, efforts to overhaul the racist presentation of California Indians in classrooms and popular culture, and the meanings of solidarity in Native California. Unifying the book is an introduction by Terria Smith (Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians), editor of the renowned and long-running magazine News from Native California. This book is an indispensable resource for California Indian listeners, educators of all levels in California, and students in Native studies courses nationally.

  Up from Slavery; an Unfinished...

  For a period of 85 years, the M Street/Dunbar High School was an academically elite, all-black public high school in Washington, D.C.  As far back as 1899, its students came in first in citywide tests given in both black and white schools.  Over this 85-year span, approximately 80 percent of M Street/Dunbar’s graduates went on to college, even though most Americans, white or black, did not attend college at all. Faculty and students were mutually respectful to one another, and disruptions in the classroom were not tolerated. Yet, in this era of best practices, this public high school, whose founders experienced slavery and segregation firsthand, has received virtually no attention in the literature or in policy considerations for inner-city education.  The purpose of this study is to explore the history of a high school that was successful in teaching black children from families at all income levels to excel and to determine if the learning model employed in the past could be successful in a modern inner-city public education environment.

  Intimidation - Using Fear or...

  Intimidation is a powerful tool used to control, manipulate, or influence others through fear, coercion, or the threat of consequences. It is a fundamental aspect of power dynamics in human interactions, appearing in personal relationships, workplaces, politics, and even entire societies. While often associated with overt threats and aggressive behavior, intimidation can also be subtle, manifesting through psychological pressure, social exclusion, or implied consequences rather than direct violence. Regardless of its form, intimidation serves as a means of asserting dominance and shaping the behavior of individuals or groups. 
  Throughout history, intimidation has played a crucial role in maintaining authority and enforcing societal norms. Rulers, military leaders, and institutions have long relied on fear to deter opposition and ensure obedience. From ancient empires using public punishments to instill fear in the masses to modern governments leveraging surveillance and propaganda, intimidation remains a key strategy for those in power. However, it is not limited to large-scale societal control—intimidation also operates at the personal level, where individuals use fear to manipulate or silence others in personal, professional, and social settings. 
  The effectiveness of intimidation lies in its ability to exploit human psychology. Fear is a primal emotion, hardwired into the brain as a survival mechanism. When people perceive a threat—whether physical, emotional, or social—they often become more compliant, seeking to avoid harm or conflict. This reaction can be seen in various contexts, such as an employee hesitating to speak out against an abusive manager, a student fearing retaliation from a school bully, or a population complying with oppressive laws due to the threat of punishment.
