Synopsis

Capitol Park is the only city park in America where a state's first governor is buried. It's the birthplace of democracy in Michigan. Underground Railroad site. Streetcar and transit hub. Urban canyon. A block north of Detroit's iconic Coney Island restaurants. A symbol of the city's late twentieth-century decay, now a key part of its revitalization in a new millennium. Jack Dempsey, award-winning author of "Michigan and the Civil War" and president of the Michigan Historical Commission, uncovers tales of a uniquely inspirational public space that epitomizes the ups and downs of Detroit's three centuries.

    Plantation Politics and Campus Rebellions provides a multidisciplinary exploration of the contemporary university's entanglement with the history of slavery and settler colonialism in the United States. Inspired by more than a hundred student-led protests during the Movement for Black Lives, contributors examine how campus rebellions—and university responses to them—expose the racialized inequities at the core of higher education. 
     
     
     
    Plantation politics are embedded in the everyday workings of universities—in not only the physical structures and spaces of academic institutions, but in its recruitment and attainment strategies, hiring practices, curriculum, and notions of sociality, safety, and community. The book is comprised of three sections that highlight how white supremacy shapes campus communities and classrooms; how current diversity and inclusion initiatives perpetuate inequality; and how students, staff, and faculty practice resistance in the face of institutional and legislative repression. The volume is indispensable for students, faculty, student affairs professionals, and administrators invested in learning more about how power operates within education and imagining emancipatory futures.

    Establishing a language habit is one key to quickly learning a new language. 
    You are unlikely to forget the words you are learning if you use them on a regular basis. Repetition is essential for remembering. That is to say, you should incorporate the new language into your daily life. 
    Begin by labeling everything in the house. As a result, every time you see the items, you will notice the name, and the names will begin to stick with you. You should also get some children's books to read because they have a lot of pictures and illustrations. Using technology is another way to turn language learning into a way of life. You can customize your phone and computer to learn the language. As you try to figure out what each name means, you'll be forced to learn new vocabulary quickly. 
    What you'll discover 
    ·       How to Make a Mind Map to Help You Learn a New Language 
    ·       Materials and equipment required to learn a new language 
    ·       The most effective way to learn a language 
    And Much More!...
