Summary

Cultural Integration Models explores how diverse societies can achieve unity by examining various integration models like assimilation, multiculturalism, and intersectionality. It emphasizes the need for understanding cultural group interactions to foster social cohesion, particularly given today's evolving social landscapes. The book highlights that successful integration isn't about a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather adapting strategies to specific contexts. For example, while some policies might prioritize cultural diversity, others may focus on social cohesion, reflecting different demographic trends and societal values.

 
The book's central argument is that effective cultural integration policies require a nuanced, context-sensitive approach, drawing from multiple models and empirical research. It provides historical context, analyzing the evolution of integration policies from prioritizing homogeneity to embracing diversity, examining the social and political forces that shaped these shifts. It progresses by introducing core concepts, analyzing major models individually, and then synthesizing these analyses into a framework for context-sensitive strategies.

 
What distinguishes this book is its focus on the context-dependent nature of integration, offering a framework for understanding complexities and developing tailored strategies. Supported by data from demographic studies and sociological research, the book integrates insights from sociology, political science, and anthropology to provide a holistic understanding, addressing debates like balancing group and individual rights. It aims to inform policy decisions and promote inclusive practices, making it valuable for policymakers, community leaders, and anyone interested in social science and political science.

    The crises now facing America are happening according to plan.

    'Jess reveals a way of life that leaves the reader full of admiration' - Mary Horner
    Scottish Gypsies, known as Travellers or Tinkers, have wandered Scotland's roads and byways for centuries. Their turbulent history is captured in this passionate new book by Jess Smith, the bestselling author of Jessie's Journey and a Traveller herself. Her quest for the truth takes her on a personal journey of discovery through the tales, songs and culture of the 'pilgrims of the mist', who preferred freedom to security, and a campfire under the stars to a hearth within stone walls.
    The history Jess has uncovered reveals centuries of prejudice and shocking violence by settled society against Travellers, including the enforced break-up of families and separate schooling. But drawing on her own and her family's experiences as they wandered the glens and braes of Scotland, she also captures the magic and rich traditions of a life lived outside conventional boundaries.

    A practical roadmap for foster and adoptive familiesCaring for children is deeply important to the heart of God, and adoption and foster care are important callings that connect to God’s heart for children and families. But this road isn’t always easy. It’s important that foster and adoptive parents prepare to address their children’s history of trauma, separation, and disrupted placements, which can lead to mental health, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. It is also important to understand how this journey shapes and influences our children. We cannot ignore the deep feelings and questions that children experience as they try to understand their story. How can we help them navigate their identity, and sit with them in the unknowns of their story or the grief and loss that comes up?​Drawing on the latest science and research on trauma, attachment, sensory processing difficulties, cultural competence, and grief and loss, authors Josh and Jenn Hook provide a trauma-informed approach to help adoptive and foster families—and the church called to care for the vulnerable in our midst—to help their children heal, grow, and thrive.

    A bold, unique look into the global self-managed abortion movement 
     
    Abortion pills have made safe abortion possible for millions of people around the world, even in the most restrictive circumstances. Sydney Calkin illustrates the profound, transformative promise of these pills—which are safe, effective, and responsible for a sharp decline in maternal mortality. This timely book demonstrates that the widespread practice of self-managed medication abortion makes it more difficult for countries to enforce oppressive abortion laws and less willing to do so. 
     
    Following these pills as they are manufactured and transported by feminist activists in nations from India to Ireland, Northern Ireland, Poland, and the United States, Calkin shows that their growing availability in places with restrictive laws means more people have access to self-managed healthcare. Abortion Pills Go Global looks ahead to see how the broader politics of abortion could shift in response to this global movement—one that looks not to laws for protection but to on-the-ground feminist mobilizations across borders.

  • I Ching Yì Jīng; The Book of Changes - 易经 The Daoist & Confucian classic of divination and cosmology - cover

    I Ching Yì Jīng; The Book of...

    Fu Xi, James Legge

    The Classic of Changes (I Ching / Yìjīng / 易經) is one of the oldest and most enduring texts in the Chinese literary tradition, and one of the oldest books on record. The trigrams and method are classically attributed to the culture hero and legendary emperor Fu Xi (c. 2800 BCE), who also invented fishing, hunting, music, writing, laws, and the calendar. Around 1000 BCE, King Wen of Zhou combined them into the 64 hexagrams and wrote the core judgements, followed by his son the Duke of Zhou, who wrote the line texts in the following century. The appendices, or Ten Wings, are traditionally attributed to the philosopher Confucius, though Legge's commentary throws significant doubt on this attribution. 
    Consulted for millennia as an oracle, a philosophical framework, and a guide to the patterns underlying human experience and the natural world, the Yìjīng has for millennia shaped the Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist traditions, as well as Chinese literature, art, medicine, and statecraft. 
    James Legge's was the first Professor of Chinese at Oxford and the principal translator of Sacred Books of the East. His translation was the first in English and remains a landmark of sinological scholarship. 
    Included here in full are Legge's substantial introductory essays, situating the text in its historical and cultural context; his careful translation of the core text (Jīng 經) with the judgements (Tuàn 彖) and line statements; and all of the Ten Wings (Shí Yì 十翼), including the Tuànzhuàn, Xiàngzhuàn, Xìcí, Wényán, Shuōguà, Xùguà, and Záguà. 
    A comprehensive, scholarly, and scrupulously annotated entry point into one of humanity's great classics, Legge's Yìjīng has yet to be surpassed for accessibility combined with rigor.  
    Whether you come to the Yìjīng as a student of Chinese philosophy (Zhōngguó zhéxué 中國哲學), a practitioner of divination, or simply a curious reader seeking a window into the deepest currents of Chinese thought, this edition serves as an invaluable companion.
