  Fugitive Pedagogy - Carter G...

  A fresh portrayal of one of the architects of the African American intellectual tradition, whose faith in the subversive power of education will inspire teachers and learners today. 
   
   
   
  Black education was a subversive act from its inception. African Americans pursued education through clandestine means, often in defiance of law and custom, even under threat of violence. They developed what Jarvis Givens calls a tradition of "fugitive pedagogy"—a theory and practice of Black education in America. The enslaved learned to read in spite of widespread prohibitions; newly emancipated people braved the dangers of integrating all-White schools and the hardships of building Black schools. Teachers developed covert instructional strategies, creative responses to the persistence of White opposition. From slavery through the Jim Crow era, Black people passed down this educational heritage. 
   
   
   
  There is perhaps no better exemplar of this heritage than Carter G. Woodson—groundbreaking historian, founder of Black History Month, and legendary educator under Jim Crow. Givens shows that Woodson succeeded because of the world of Black teachers to which he belonged: Woodson's first teachers were his formerly enslaved uncles; he himself taught for nearly thirty years; and he spent his life partnering with educators to transform the lives of Black students.

  Raising a child to be respectful is a full-time job. It can be difficult to balance the overwhelming love you feel for your child and the need to discipline them. It is more beneficial for your child when you are a parent that sets boundaries and holds yourself to enforcing the rules.

  Parental authority also carries the weight of the decisions the parent must make to help their child grow up and navigate the world around them and to become a productive member of society. 
  Raising children to become adults who will be responsible and treat others with respect and kindness is the goal of every parent, which is why it is crucial to know how to bring up well-balanced children who know how to respect you.. 
  This book provides struggling parents with some insights and strategies into how to address a disrespectful child and how to raise children who know how to listen and follow through

  Crusaders - Wars and Crusades...

  The Crusaders is one of those dark chapters in history that we would rather forget, especially religious people. In name of the church, or other religions, like the Muslim faith, people killed, destroyed, looted, and burned cities to the ground. There is nothing “holy” about attacking and plundering, yet this is what they did. 
  The Crusades were a series of spiritual fights in the middle ages period that were begun, supported, and sometimes ordered by the Latin Church. 
  The most popular of these Crusades are those to the Holy Land between 1095 and 1291, which aimed to recover Jerusalem and its environments from Islamic rule. 
  Concurrent army operations against the Moors in the Iberian Peninsula (the Reconquista) and pagan Slavic tribe in northern Europe (the Northern Crusades) were called crusades. 
  Other church-sanctioned crusades were waged during the 15th century against unorthodox Christian sects, the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, to oppose paganism and heresy, and for political purposes. 
  In this book, we’ll explore some of the most important crusades everyone should know about. You will learn to understand better why people started them, what drove them to continue, and what ended them. You will learn about the political and religious backgrounds, the fears, hopes, and dreams the leaders and population had, and much more.

  Holding Fire - A Reckoning with...

  From the award-winning author of Down from the Mountain, a memoir of inheritance, history, and one gun’s role in the violence that shaped the American West—and an impassioned call to forge a new way forward 
  Bryce Andrews was raised to do no harm. The son of a pacifist and conscientious objector, he moved from Seattle to Montana to tend livestock and the land as a cowboy. For a decade, he was happy. Yet, when Andrews inherited his grandfather’s Smith & Wesson revolver, he felt the weight of the violence braided into his chosen life. Other white men who’d come before him had turned firearms like this one against wildlife, wilderness, and the Indigenous peoples who had lived in these landscapes for millennia. This was how the West was “won.” Now, the losses were all around him and a weapon was in his hand. 
  In precise, elegiac prose, Andrews chronicles his journey to forge a new path for himself, and to reshape one handgun into a tool for good work. As waves of gun violence swept the country and wildfires burned across his beloved valley, he began asking questions—of ranchers, his Native neighbors, his family, and a blacksmith who taught him to shape steel—in search of a new way to live with the land and with one another. In laying down his arms, he transformed an inherited weapon, his ranch, and the arc of his life. 
  Holding Fire is a deeply felt memoir of one Western heart’s wild growth, and a personal testament to how things that seem permanent—inheritance, legacies of violence, forged steel—can change.
