Summary

In "Campaigning in Cuba," George Kennan offers a vivid firsthand account of the American military intervention in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. The book is articulated through a mix of engaging narrative and keen observations, capturing the complexities of wartime experiences while providing a critical perspective on imperialism and military strategy. Kennan employs a clear and direct literary style, combining personal anecdotes with a broader political analysis that contextualizes the war within American foreign policy at the turn of the 20th century. George Kennan, a prominent diplomat and historian, is known for his significant contributions to U.S. foreign policy, particularly his advocacy for containment during the Cold War. His experiences during the Cuban campaign, combined with his deep understanding of international relations and history, informed his views on the consequences of interventionist policies. Kennan's nuanced insights reflect both the bravado and the moral dilemmas faced by those involved in the military operations, stemming from his belief in the importance of thoughtful, restrained foreign policy. "Campaigning in Cuba" is a compelling read for anyone interested in military history, American imperialism, or the moral intricacies of warfare. Kennan's reflections provide invaluable lessons that resonate with contemporary discussions on intervention and diplomacy, making this a must-read for scholars, students, and general readers alike.

    How we organize children by ability in schools is often rooted in ableism. 
 
 
 
Ability is so central to schooling—where we explicitly and continuously shape, assess, measure, and report on students' abilities—that ability-based decisions often appear logical and natural. However, how schools respond to ability results in very real, lifelong social and economic consequences. Special education and academic streaming (or tracking) are two of the most prominent ability-based strategies public schools use to organize student learning. Both have had a long and complicated relationship with gender, race, and class. 
 
 
 
In this down-to-earth guide, Dr. Gillian Parekh unpacks the realities of how ability and disability play out within schooling, including insights from students, teachers, and administrators about the barriers faced by students on the basis of ability. From the challenges with ability testing to gifted programs to the disability rights movement, Parekh shows how ableism is inextricably linked to other forms of bias. Her book is a powerful tool for educators committed to justice-seeking practices in schools.
