Synopsis

"Lighthouse Wars" unveils the hidden strategic roles of lighthouses in naval warfare, demonstrating they were far more than simple navigational aids. This book explores how these coastal sentinels became integral to military strategy. Often serving as observation points or even targets, lighthouses significantly impacted naval engagements. Intriguingly, lighthouse keepers sometimes found themselves caught in the crossfire, while the structures themselves became crucial communication hubs, relaying vital signals.

 
The book examines the strategic importance of lighthouses, highlighting their influence on naval strategy, and the impact of conflicts on their function. It delves into instances where lighthouses were directly involved in naval engagements, used as hideouts for clandestine operations, and served as communication centers. By drawing upon naval records, military reports, and personal accounts, "Lighthouse Wars" offers a comprehensive understanding of these overlooked elements of maritime infrastructure.

 
What sets this book apart is its novel perspective, revealing the strategic significance of lighthouses in warfare. Moving from historical context to naval engagements, then to clandestine uses, and finally to communication hubs, the book progresses across chapters to provide a comprehensive understanding. This approach provides a fresh perspective on maritime history.

    A pathbreaking look at Native women of the early South who defined power and defied authority. 
     
     
     
    Historian Alejandra Dubcovsky tells a story of war, slavery, loss, remembrance, and the women whose resilience and resistance transformed the colonial South. In exploring their lives she rewrites early American history, challenging the established male-centered narrative. 
     
     
      
    Dubcovsky reconstructs the lives of Native women—Timucua, Apalachee, Chacato, and Guale—to show how they made claims to protect their livelihoods, bodies, and families. Through the stories of the Native cacica who demanded her authority be recognized; the elite Spanish woman who turned her dowry and household into a source of independent power; the Floridiana who slapped a leading Native man in the town square; and the Black woman who ran a successful business at the heart of a Spanish town, Dubcovsky reveals the formidable women who claimed and used their power, shaping the history of the early South.

    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.
