Beschreibung

In the tumultuous early decades of the 20th century, a cultural revolution was brewing, challenging the very foundations of art, literature, and society. Modernism emerged as a seismic shift, a movement that shattered conventions, embraced experimentation, and redefined the boundaries of creative expression.

This book takes you on a captivating journey into the heart of modernism, unveiling its profound impact on various artistic disciplines. From the literary landscape to the visual arts, from film and music to dance and architecture, modernism left an indelible mark on the cultural tapestry of the era.

Through the exploration of modernism's seismic shifts, you'll witness the breaking of conventions in literature, the rise of new artistic forms, and the emergence of intellectual and philosophical currents that shaped the movement. You'll delve into the depths of modernism's impact on the visual arts, discovering how artists embraced new ways of seeing and interpreting the world.

The book also delves into the birth of cinema, a new medium that captured the dynamism and energy of the modern age. You'll explore the world of silent films and early talkies, and witness how documentary filmmaking emerged as a powerful tool for social commentary.

But modernism's influence extended far beyond the confines of traditional art forms. It transformed music, dance, architecture, and fashion, leaving a lasting legacy on the cultural landscape. From the atonal compositions of classical music to the expressive movements of modern dance, from the functionalism of modern architecture to the liberation of women's fashion, modernism left its mark on every corner of society.

This book is an invitation to immerse yourself in the vibrant world of modernism, to explore its revolutionary spirit and its enduring impact on our cultural heritage. It's a journey that will challenge your perceptions, expand your understanding of art and society, and leave you with a newfound appreciation for the transformative power of creativity.

    Love. Love now. Love always. Time and lives are wasting. 
     
    All of the humans in schools—kids and adults—deserve joy. Yet, our experiences in schools, and the experiences of our students, are often far from joyful.  
     
    Humans Who Teach invites readers to explore the complicated humanity of those who teach, with a focus on how we have been socialized to accept the status quo, our very real fears in disrupting the status quo, and how we can rely on our human capacity to love to engage in teaching for social justice even in the presence of fear. 
     
    “In a sea of voices seeking to continue the deprofessionalization and dehumanization of teachers, Humans Who Teach powerfully speaks back to these voices and reminds educators that, first and foremost, they are human. And within their humanity lie transformative possibilities for cultivating lives and classrooms characterized by love.” — from the foreword by Drs. Bettina L. Love, Gholdy Muhammad, and Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz

    As a young girl growing up in Houston, Margaret Juhae Lee never heard about her grandfather, Lee Chul Ha. His history was lost in early twentieth-century Korea, and guarded by Margaret's grandmother, who Chul Ha left widowed in 1936 with two young sons. To his surviving family, Lee Chul Ha was a criminal, and his granddaughter was determined to figure out why. 
     
     
     
    Starry Field chronicles Chul Ha's untold story. Combining investigative journalism, oral history, and archival research, Margaret reveals the truth about the grandfather she never knew. What she found is that Lee Chul Ha was not a source of shame; he was a student revolutionary imprisoned in 1929 for protesting the Japanese government's colonization of Korea. He was a hero—and eventually honored as a Patriot of South Korea almost 60 years after his death. It is through the series of three interviews with her grandmother that Margaret finally finds a sense of recognition she's been missing. A story of healing old wounds and the reputation of an extraordinary young man, Starry Field bridges the tales of two women. 
     
     
     
    Starry Field weaves together the stories of Margaret's family against the backdrop of Korea's tumultuous modern history, with a powerful question at its heart. Can we ever separate ourselves from our family's past—and if the answer is yes, should we?

    Racial Opportunity Cost turns critical attention to the specific challenges faced by high-achieving students of color and gives educators a framework for recognizing and addressing these issues. Terah Venzant Chambers roots her discussion in the concept of racial opportunity cost, using a term borrowed from economics to refer to the obstacles faced and tradeoffs made by Black and Latinx students on the path to academic success. 
     
     
     
    Gathering firsthand accounts from students, practitioners, and researchers, Venzant Chambers underscores a set of experiences common to academically successful students from racially minoritized backgrounds, especially those who attend predominantly white schools. These personal accounts illustrate the many ways in which the negative effects of racial opportunity cost extend from K–12 education into postsecondary academics and beyond. 
     
     
     
    In this clarifying work, Venzant Chambers identifies the factors, such as school culture, intersectionality, and community acceptance that can increase or lessen racial opportunity cost across educational environments. Venzant Chambers's framework will help educators proactively cultivate change in their classrooms and schools so that they may lower racial opportunity cost and improve student experiences.

    Aqueduct Press is pleased to announce the release of Cheek by Jowl, a collection of talks and essays on 
    how and why fantasy matters, by Ursula K. Le Guin. In these essays, Le Guin argues passionately that the 
    homogenization of our world makes the work of fantasy essential for helping us break through what she calls 
    ''the reality trap.'' Le Guin writes not only of the pleasures of her own childhood reading, but also about what 
    fantasy means for all of us living in the global twenty-first century.
