  The field of special education in 2022 has progressed to a point where we have ways to treat and support students with learning issues, and yet, we frame so much of the special education process from a deficit-based mindset. Even the word, "disability" supports this negative connotation of neurodiversity. This idea book outlines a paradigm for how to view and work with students with diagnoses formed through experience, research, and creativity in a way that supports an ability-forward mindset. Anyone who is parenting or teaching in the special education field would benefit from reading this book and using its ideas within the context of their practice.

  Stolen Fragments - Black Markets...

  In 2012, Steve Green, billionaire and president of Hobby Lobby, announced a purchase of a Biblical artefact—a fragment of papyrus carrying lines from Paul's letter to the Romans, and dated to the second century CE. Noted scholar Roberta Mazza was stunned. When was this piece discovered, and how could Green acquire such a rare item? The answers, which Mazza spent the next ten years uncovering, came as a shock: the fragment had come from a famous collection held at Oxford University, and its rightful owners had no idea it had been sold. 
   
   
   
  The letter to the Romans was not the only extraordinary piece in the Green collection. They soon announced newly recovered fragments from the Gospels and writings of Sappho. Mazza's quest to confirm the provenance of these priceless fragments revealed shadowy global networks that make big business of ancient manuscripts. 
   
   
   
  Mazza's investigation forces us to ask what happens when the supposed custodians of our ancient heritage act in ways that threaten to destroy it. Stolen Fragments illuminates how these recent dealings are not isolated events, but the inevitable result of longstanding colonial practices and the outcome of generations of scholars who have profited from extracting the cultural heritage of places they claim they wish to preserve. Where is the boundary between protection and exploitation?

  Religious Intolerance America...

  As the news shows us every day, contemporary American culture and politics are rife with people who demonize their enemies by projecting their own failings and flaws onto them. But this is no recent development. Rather, as John Corrigan argues here, it’s an expression of a trauma endemic to America’s history, particularly involving our long domestic record of religious conflict and violence. 
   
  Religious Intolerance, America, and the World spans from Christian colonists’ intolerance of Native Americans and the role of religion in the new republic’s foreign-policy crises to Cold War witch hunts and the persecution complexes that entangle Christians and Muslims today. Corrigan reveals how US churches and institutions have continuously campaigned against intolerance overseas even as they’ve abetted or performed it at home. This selective condemnation of intolerance, he shows, created a legacy of foreign policy interventions promoting religious freedom and human rights that was not reflected within America’s own borders. This timely, captivating book forces America to confront its claims of exceptionalism based on religious liberty—and perhaps begin to break the grotesque cycle of projection and oppression.

  Decolonization Movements - The...

  Decolonization refers to the process through which colonies gained independence from colonial powers, transitioning from subjugation to self-rule. This process unfolded across the globe, but particularly after the end of World War II, when the political, economic, and social landscapes of the world were rapidly changing. Decolonization was not merely a political transition; it also involved profound shifts in cultural, economic, and social structures. It marked the end of European empires, the dismantling of colonial systems, and the establishment of new nation-states. The effects of decolonization were not only seen in the immediate transfer of power but also in the long-lasting impacts on national identity, social cohesion, and global politics. 
  Historically, colonialism began in the 15th century as European powers, driven by the desire for resources, land, and global dominance, began to expand across the world. Colonies were established in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, often resulting in the exploitation and oppression of indigenous populations. Colonialism shaped the economies and cultures of colonized countries, as the colonial powers imposed their own systems of governance, language, and religion. 
  World War II played a significant role in the rise of decolonization movements. The war weakened the colonial powers, both economically and militarily, while at the same time igniting new ideas about self-determination and sovereignty. The brutal realities of war exposed the contradictions of imperialism, and the idea of a free and independent world began to gain ground. Additionally, the United Nations (UN) emerged after the war as an international body that championed the principles of self-determination and human rights, further encouraging movements for independence.
