The Truth of Masks

Oscar Wilde

Sinopse

In "The Truth of Masks," Oscar Wilde delivers a profound exploration of identity and the nature of reality through a lens that combines sharp wit and incisive social commentary. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a time fraught with rigid social mores and an obsession with outward appearances, Wilde's work employs a blend of philosophical discourse and theatrical flair, skillfully revealing the performative aspects of both individual and societal identities. His style is marked by eloquent prose and dazzling epigrams, weaving together themes of artifice and truth, ultimately questioning what lies beneath the masks we wear. Wilde, a leading figure of the Aesthetic Movement, was deeply influenced by his encounters with the tensions of Victorian society, which often forced individuals to conform to superficial standards. His own experiences with fame, scandal, and ostracism sharpened his insight into the human condition, particularly the complexities of personal authenticity. This understanding is manifest in his writings, capturing both the joys and despairs of navigating social facades. I highly recommend "The Truth of Masks" to readers who appreciate literature that challenges perceptions and encourages introspection about the self. Wilde's exploration of the dichotomy between reality and illusion remains relevant, ensuring that this work is not only an intellectual venture but also a crucial reflection on the masks we don every day.

Education Across Borders -...

Patrick Sylvain, Marie Lily...

The practices and values in the United States educational system position linguistically, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse children and families at a disadvantage. BIPOC dropout rates and levels of stress and anxiety have linked with non-inclusive school environments. In this collection, three educators draw on their experiences as immigrants and educators to address racial inequity in the classroom and provide a thorough analysis of different strategies that create an inclusive classroom. White educators that serve BIPOC students will benefit from these reflections on incorporating culturally relevant pedagogies that value the diverse experiences of students. 
 
 
 
With a focus on Haitian and Dominican students in the United States, the authors reveal the challenges that immigrant and first-generation students face. They also offer insights about topics such as: 
 
 
 
● How do language policies and social justice intersect? 
 
 
 
● How can educators use culturally relevant teaching and community funds of knowledge to enrich curriculum? 
 
 
 
● How can educators center the needs of the student within the classroom? 
 
 
 
● How can educators support Haitian Creole-speaking students?
