Summary

In "Emerson and Other Essays," John Jay Chapman delves into the philosophical and literary contributions of Ralph Waldo Emerson, weaving together essays that reflect on Emerson's profound influence on American thought. Chapman employs a rich, lyrical prose style that is both accessible and intellectually stimulating, situating Emerson within the broader context of transcendentalism and its pivotal role in shaping modern American identity. Chapman's reflections are not merely historical but also engage critically with Emerson's ideas, illuminating their relevance in contemporary discourse surrounding individuality, nature, and the self. John Jay Chapman (1862-1933) was a prominent essayist, critic, and social reformer whose extensive engagement with literature and philosophy deeply informed his work. His admiration for Emerson propelled Chapman to explore the themes of moral authority and the inner voice, which resonate throughout this collection. Having lived through transformative periods in American history, Chapman's insights reflect both personal and societal quests for meaning, making his essays not only a tribute to Emerson but also a continuation of his legacy. "Emerson and Other Essays" is a must-read for anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of American literature and philosophy. Chapman's incisive analysis not only enriches Emerson's legacy but also offers modern readers valuable insights into our current existential challenges. This collection will appeal to scholars, students, and general readers alike, inviting them to engage with the lasting impact of Emerson's thought.

    "Truly, this is a book that belongs on the shelves of not just wrestling fans, but anyone who wants to understand the agonized American soul." ―Josephine Riesman, author of Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America 
     
    Professional wrestling is both a cultural phenomenon and a multibillion-dollar industry that has launched some of the biggest names in entertainment. But what does it take for a wrestler to break through? In Rough House, journalist Alison Lyn Miller introduces Hunter James, an aspiring star born into a family of wrestlers in Georgia. Hunter lifts, runs, and pounds protein, sculpting himself into a human action figure with the goal of being signed by a major promotion and finishing what his father started. Miller's immersive, unforgettable account shows us what happens when Hunter enters the bruising world of indie wrestling―where gymnasiums become arenas, trampolines serve as training grounds, and young men fight for glory. 
     
    Rich with drama, humor, and heart, Rough House is a ringside seat to a coming-of-age story that reveals the escapism, self-actualization, performance, and violence inherent in one of America's most dismissed pastimes. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the spectacle, this true story will leave you cheering for more.

  • Suspended Education - School Punishment and the Legacy of Racial Injustice - cover

    Suspended Education - School...

    Every year, millions of public school students are suspended. This overused punishment removes students from the classroom, but it does not improve their behavior. Instead, suspension disrupts their education, harming the students, their families, and their schools. Black students suffer most within this broken system, experiencing a far greater risk of school punishment and the significant harms that accompany it. Many activists and scholars have considered how school punishment increases racial inequity, but few have thought to ask why. Why do we punish students the way we do, and why have we allowed this harmful practice to impact the lives of our nation's children? 
     
     
     
    In Supended Education, Aaron Kupchik shows that suspensions were not intended as a behavior management tool. Instead, they were designed to remove unwanted students from the classroom. Through statistical analysis and in-depth case studies of schools in Massachusetts and Delaware, Kupchik reveals how suspension rates skyrocketed after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, serving as an unofficial means of removing Black children from newly desegregated schools. His groundbreaking research traces the legacy of these segregationist movements, demonstrating that school districts with more desegregation-related legal battles from the 1950s onward suspend more Black students today.
