Synopsis

Youth Shelter Access addresses the critical issue of housing insecurity and homelessness among LGBTQ youth in the United States. These young people face significantly higher rates of homelessness due to factors like family rejection, discrimination, and violence, highlighting a major gap in the social safety net. The book reveals that many existing shelter systems fail LGBTQ youth due to inadequate staff training, discriminatory practices, and the absence of LGBTQ-inclusive policies, challenging the notion that all shelters are inherently safe spaces.

 
The book explores this complex issue through a systematic approach. It begins by establishing the scope of LGBTQ youth homelessness and then examines relevant federal, state, and local policies. A substantial portion is dedicated to analyzing shelter training programs and assessing how well they address LGBTQ-specific needs. The study also examines regional variations in shelter access, identifying both successful approaches and areas needing improvement.

 
Ultimately, Youth Shelter Access offers concrete policy recommendations and strategies for fostering more inclusive shelter environments. It calls for LGBTQ-inclusive policies, comprehensive shelter training programs, and increased funding for specialized services. By using a fact-based approach, the book aims to empower academics, policymakers, social workers, and advocates to drive change and create more equitable systems of care for vulnerable youth.

    Nozipho Tshabalala is a high-performing, excellence-driven, successful black woman. Being in control of everything in her life was crucial to her survival 
    and success. For the most part, it had always served her well – until it didn’t. In this captivating and deeply personal memoir, conversation strategist 
    Nozipho invites you into her world – one shaped by political violence, professional triumphs on global stages and the intimate battles with loss that 
    would test her most fundamental beliefs. Now in her 40s, she has realised that what she needed most to survive may not be what she needs to thrive. 
    After the Fires is a call to reclaim the narrative amid life’s unexpected turns. It honours the complexity of womanhood while celebrating the possibility of 
    becoming exactly who you were meant to be, even when that person looks nothing like what you imagined. With vulnerability and wisdom, Nozipho demonstrates how surrender becomes not an act of defeat but a pathway to freedom. Her story reminds us that sometimes our greatest strength lies not in holding tighter but in opening our hands to release what no longer serves us.

    It is widely accepted that political discourse in recent years has become more openly racist and more accepting of wildly implausible conspiracy theories. Dogwhistles and Figleaves explores ways in which such changes—both of which defied previously settled norms of political speech—have been brought about. Jennifer Saul shows that two linguistic devices, dogwhistles and figleaves, have played a crucial role. Some dogwhistles (such as "88", used by Nazis online to mean "Heil Hitler") serve to disguise messages that would otherwise be rejected as unacceptable, allowing them to be transmitted surreptitiously. Other dogwhistles (like the 1988 "Willie Horton" ad) work by influencing people in ways that they are not aware of, and which they would likely reject were they aware. Figleaves (such as "just asking questions") take messages that could easily be recognized as unacceptable, and provide just enough cover that people become more willing to accept them. Saul argues that these devices are important for the spread of racist discourse. She also shows how they contribute to the transmission of norm-violating discourse more generally, focusing on the case of wildly implausible conspiracist speech. This book is the first full-length exploration of dogwhistles and figleaves. It offers an illuminating and disturbing view of the workings of contemporary political discourse.
