Synopsis

Homemaker Skills Wane explores the documented decrease in female domestic expertise in the United States since 1960, a period marked by significant shifts in social and economic landscapes. This decline isn't merely a change in preferences but a complex product of economic pressures, evolving gender roles, and the increasing trend of outsourcing domestic labor. Historically, society valued female domestic competence, impacting women's education and social standing.

The study uses household surveys to examine the evolution of skills like cooking, sewing, and childcare, revealing how the rise of the female labor force and consumer culture has reshaped domestic life. The book investigates various factors contributing to this trend, including the increased participation of women in the workforce and the availability of convenience goods and services. It also examines social and cultural shifts, such as evolving gender roles and a decreasing emphasis on domestic education.

By analyzing quantitative data from household surveys and incorporating qualitative insights, the book provides an unbiased, data-driven analysis of these social and economic trends. The book progresses by establishing a baseline of homemaking skills in 1960 and then analyzing economic, social, and technological factors influencing their decline.

The comprehensive analysis in Homemaker Skills Wane provides valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and general readers interested in history, social science, and the changing roles of women. Understanding this decline challenges simplistic narratives about progress and offers a deeper examination of the trade-offs in modern life, making it a valuable contribution to understanding social history and family dynamics.

The Power of Black Excellence -...

Deondra Rose

From their founding, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) educated as many as 90 percent of Black college students in the United States. Although many are aware of the significance of HBCUs in expanding Black Americans' educational opportunities, much less attention has been paid to the vital role that they have played in expanding American democracy. 
 
 
 
In The Power of Black Excellence, Deondra Rose provides an authoritative history of HBCUs and the unique role they have played in shaping American democracy since 1865. Drawing on over six years of deep research, Rose brings into view the historic impact that government support for HBCUs has had on the American political landscape, arguing that they have been essential for not only empowering Black citizens but also reshaping the distribution of political power in the United States. Today, HBCUs remain extremely important, as evidenced by the outsized number of black political leaders—including Kamala Harris—who attended them. Rose stresses that policymakers promote democracy itself when they support HBCUs and their unique approach to postsecondary education, which includes a commitment to helping students develop politically empowering skills, promoting political leadership, and fostering a commitment to service.

America Goddam - Violence Black...

Treva B. Lindsey

Reckons with violence against Black women in America and their resilient fight for liberation 
 
America, Goddam explores the combined force of antiBlackness, misogyny, patriarchy, and capitalism in the lives of Black women and girls in the United States today. Through personal accounts and hard-hitting analysis, Black feminist  
historian Treva B. Lindsey starkly assesses the forms and legacies of violence against Black women and girls, as well as their demands for justice for themselves and their communities. 
 
Combining history, theory, and memoir, this book renders visible the gender dynamics of antiBlack violence. Black women and girls occupy a unique status of vulnerability to harm and death, while the circumstances and traumas of this  
violence go underreported and understudied. Lindsey also shows that the sanctity of life and liberty of Black women is rarely the focus of Black freedom movements.  
 
Defying this omission, Black women have led movements demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, Toyin Salau, Riah Milton, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, and countless other Black women and girls. Across generations and centuries, their  
refusal to remain silent about violence against them led many to envisioning and building toward Black liberation through organizing and radical politics. Echoing the energy of Nina Simone’s searing protest song that inspired the title, America,  
Goddam is a call to action in our collective journey toward just futures.
