Martha Hodes, a historian, recounts her experience as a passenger on an airliner hijacked in 1970. She and her sister were flying back to New York City from Israel when their plane was hijacked by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Despite being too young to understand the gravity of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Martha suppressed her fear and anxiety. Nearly a half-century later, her memories of the six days and nights as a hostage are hazy and scattered. Through archival research, childhood memories, and conversations with relatives, friends, and fellow hostages, Martha aims to re-create what happened to her and those at home. The story sheds light on the hostage crisis and her own fractured family and childhood sorrows.

Not Paved for Us - Black...

Camika Royal, Gloria...

This illuminating book offers an extensive, expert analysis of a school system that bears the legacy, hallmarks, and consequences that lie at the intersection of race and education. Urban education scholar Camika Royal deftly analyzes decades of efforts aimed at improving school performance within the School District of Philadelphia (SDP), in a brisk survey spanning every SDP superintendency from the 1960s through 2017. 
 
 
 
Royal interrogates the history of education and educational reforms, recounting city, state, and federal interventions. Her survey provides sociopolitical context and rich groundwork for a nuanced examination of why many large urban districts struggle to implement reforms with fidelity and in ways that advance Black students academically and holistically. 
 
 
 
In a bracing critique, Royal bears witness to the ways in which positive public school reform has been obstructed: through racism and racial capitalism, but also via liberal ideals, neoliberal practices, and austerity tactics. 
 
 
 
Not Paved for Us highlights the experiences of Black educators as they navigate the racial and cultural politics of urban school reform.
