Synopsis

This book, “The Provincial American and Other Papers,” published in 1912, features a memoir in which the author reflects upon his experience of being an American from a provincial point of view, reflecting upon his own local roots in Midwestern states. Author Meredith Nicholson (1866-1947) was a best-selling author from Indiana, U.S., a politician, and a diplomat. His career began as a reporter for newspapers in Indianapolis from 1884 to 1897. He later wrote several books, including bestsellers: “The House of a Thousand Candles” (1906), “The Port of Missing Men” (1907), and “A Hoosier Chronicle” (1912). In 1928 he began a career in politics, first as a city councilman and later as a diplomat in South America, appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

    What should conversations about race look and sound like in the elementary classroom? And how can we build classroom communities that encourage these meaningful conversations about race? 
     
     
     
    Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr take on these questions and more in We're Gonna Keep On Talking: How to Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Elementary Classroom. This book focuses on the unique and powerful role discussions about race can play in the elementary classroom. 
     
     
     
    Drawing its title inspiration from the freedom song "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around," sung by hundreds of children marching against segregation in the Children's Crusade of 1963, We're Gonna Keep On Talking is written for teachers who are willing to match children's courage and brilliance. 
     
     
     
    Writing with the humility and honest storytelling of two career classroom teachers, Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr share: 
     
     
     
    ● Strategies for building safe and supportive classroom and school spaces for productive discourse 
     
     
     
    ● Dozens of practical teacher moves for facilitating race conversations 
     
     
     
    ● Classroom stories that allow listeners to envision ways into the work through picture books, art, graphs, and current events.

    A leading scholar-practitioner and ardent proponent of culturally responsive forms of education, Jeffrey M. R. Duncan-Andrade aims to settle the debates over whether we should work toward a public education system built on the goal of equality, in which identical resources are provided for all students, or equity, in which different resources are offered in response to differences in student interests and needs. Duncan-Andrade centers his argument on the importance of creating meaningful education experiences for all students, particularly for low-income students of color and immigrant students, who have gained relatively fewer benefits from decades of equality-focused education reform. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on research from across a range of disciplines, including neuroscience, social epidemiology, public health, and social work, Duncan-Andrade introduces three essential domains of a pedagogy that are both culturally and community responsive: relationships, relevance, and responsibility. He enlists the voices of practitioners to provide grounded examples of what community-responsive pedagogy looks like in each of these domains. These examples demonstrate how equitable classroom practices can enrich student engagement, enhance trauma responsiveness, and improve educational outcomes.

    America's most popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann reveals how and why neoliberalism became so prevalent in the United States and why it's time for us to turn our backs to it. 
     
    While America is at a crossroads regarding its economic future, many of us don't fully understand how we got here. In this powerful and accessible book, Thom Hartmann demystifies neoliberalism and explains how we can use this pivotal point in time to create a more positive future. 
     
    This book traces the history of neoliberalism-which applies to a set of capitalistic philosophies favoring free trade, financial austerity, and deregulation-up to the present. Hartmann explains how neoliberalism was sold as a cure for wars and the Great Depression. He outlines the impact that it has had on America, looking at different sectors, including healthcare, unemployment, and education. 
     
    Hartmann highlights how America can go one of two ways: continue going down the road to neoliberal oligarchy, as supported by the GOP, or choose to return to FDR's Keynesian economics, raise taxes on the rich, reverse free trade, and create a more pluralistic society.
