In the vast landscape of education, school attendance stands as a cornerstone of student success, yet the disheartening reality of absenteeism continues to cast a shadow over countless young minds. This book confronts this challenge head-on, delving into the depths of its causes and consequences while illuminating the path towards improvement.

With meticulous research and poignant real-life stories, we unravel the intricate tapestry of factors that contribute to absenteeism. From the socioeconomic disparities that weave their way into educational opportunities to the complexities of family dynamics and the hidden struggles of mental health, we leave no stone unturned in our quest for understanding. We uncover the profound implications of absenteeism, extending far beyond academic setbacks to encompass the social, emotional, and economic well-being of our youth.

Undeterred by the challenges, this book offers a beacon of hope, presenting a comprehensive roadmap for progress. We champion the transformative power of schools and educators in creating welcoming and supportive learning environments, where students feel valued, engaged, and empowered to succeed. We explore the multifaceted strategies that can improve attendance, from early intervention and prevention programs to the mobilization of community resources and the forging of partnerships between diverse stakeholders.

Recognizing the delicate balance between accountability and compassion, we delve into the legal and ethical considerations that shape attendance policies and practices. We provide a framework for assessing the effectiveness of attendance interventions, celebrating successes and learning from setbacks. We stand at the precipice of an ever-changing educational landscape, where technology and innovation converge to transform attendance support.

With unwavering commitment, this book calls for continued advocacy and collaboration, recognizing that the collective responsibility for student attendance extends far beyond the walls of the schoolhouse. We envision a future where all students have the opportunity to thrive, unhindered by the barriers of absenteeism. In this book, we extend an invitation to join us on this journey of discovery, to unravel the enigma of school absenteeism and to co-create a future where every student has the chance to reach their full potential.

The New Negro - An Interpretation

Alain Locke

"Of all the voluminous literature on the Negro, so much is mere external view and commentary…We turn therefore in the other direction to the elements of truest social portraiture, and discover in the artistic self-expression of the Negro to-day a new figure on the national canvas and a new force in the foreground of affairs.” 
  
The New Negro Movement of the 1920s marked a shift in the pursuit of African American equality. African American soldiers were returning home from World War I, and after fighting for freedoms abroad, they were inspired to continue that fight on their own soil. The “old” ways had focused on passively accepting social policies, but the “new” ways would harness their collective voices in defining their own identity. The intellectual and artistic movement of the Harlem Renaissance stirred a tremendous wave of social change. 
  
The New Negro was edited by Dr. Alain LeRoy Locke, a great intellectual and social visionary who is also considered the father of the Harlem Renaissance. This collection features works from many influential African American writers, such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Countee Cullen. 
  
Alain Locke dedicates this book to future generations. In keeping with his vision, inAudio is honored to share this audiobook production with an enduring legacy of listeners.

Anglo-Ashanti Wars and the...

Editors Charles River

By the mid-19th century, other European powers became interested not only in the exploration of Africa but the exploitation of it, especially once the German Empire unified after the Franco-Prussian War. This began a rush, spearheaded mainly by European commercial interests in the form of chartered companies, to penetrate the African interior and woo its leadership with guns, trinkets and alcohol, and having thus obtained their marks or seals upon spurious treaties, begin establishing boundaries of future European colonies. The ease with which this was achieved was due to the fact that, at that point, traditional African leadership was disunited, and the people had just staggered back from centuries of concussion inflicted by the slave trade. Thus, to usurp authority, to intimidate an already broken society, and to play one leader against the other was a diplomatic task so simple, much of Africa would come under European influence in a short time.
For almost a century, the British in West Africa were faced with a powerful and stubborn African opponent: the Ashanti Empire. The Ashanti were formed by alliance and the conquest of the Akan people in the rainforest zone between the West African coast and the Sahel country to the north. The Ashanti fought the British in five wars over the nineteenth century, and they were the only West African people inflicting more than one defeat on the British. War in tropical West Africa was different from most of the rest of the world. The prevalence of endemic diseases like malaria typically killed half of the Europeans posted there per year; it was called “The White Man’s Grave” for a reason. A second factor was the presence of the tsetse fly that carried a disease able to kill horses quickly. Military expeditions were left to move entirely on foot, carrying whatever drafted or hired laborers could carry. There were no carts, no wagons, no pack animals, and no cavalry.

Manzikert and Myriokephalon: The...

Charles River Editors

In the late 11th century, Anatolia was still mostly controlled by the Byzantine Empire. A large force of Turkish tribesmen, having descended from Central Asia, conquered Persia and faced the army of the Byzantines. The ensuing fighting still stirs up powerful emotions in the national psyche, not only in Turkey but amongst Armenians, Greeks, and other ethnicities in the region, as the Byzantine losses at Manzikert and Myriokephalon are now regarded with hindsight as marking the end of Christian hegemony in Asia Minor and the beginning of the rise of Islam as a rival to Christianity.  
The most notable invaders were the the Turkish-speaking Seljuks, led through a series of battles by Kutalmishouglu Suleiman, who supported different usurpers against the Byzantine emperor. The expansion of the Seljuks was so successful that when Suleiman died, he had put all of Bithynia under his control as well as several important harbor towns along the shores on the Asian side of Bosphorus. With that accomplishment, he had managed to separate the Byzantines living in Anatolia from their emperor in Constantinople. This immediately weakened the unity of the Byzantine Empire.  
When another invading Muslim army took control of what is now Syria, Israel, and Northern Africa, the dismembered Byzantine Empire lost significant portions of land, but that allowed it to grow into a smaller and stronger unity. It took a lot of power struggles and battles on many fronts for the empire to recapture some of the lands, but gradually the Byzantine Empire lost all influence in Anatolia. By the end of the 11th century, the Hellenic culture and Greek language were replaced by Islam and Turkish.  
Of all the conflicts that brought this state of affairs into being, perhaps none were as instrumental as the Battle of Manzikert, a fact noted by Turkey’s current leader.
