The lncluders - The 7 Traits of...

Colette A.M. Phillips

It's a simple fact that the people who make policy and oversee government, sports, business, and the arts and entertainment are most commonly white men. Another fact: We cannot achieve meaningful progress if we exclude the very people who have the power to make systemic change. 
 
 
 
This handbook is free of any attempts to shame, blame, or guilt leaders for the choices they made in the past or privileges they were born with. Instead, listeners will learn to view the work they do through a racial equity lens so they can easily and immediately begin making changes. 
 
 
 
In The Includers, Colette Phillips explores the core qualities that inclusive leaders share: character, cultural intelligence, connections, communications, collaboration, courage, and commitment. With humor and poignancy, and backed by research, Phillips shares stories of real Includers: the CEOs, politicians, and public figures—all white male allies—she's admired, known, and, in some cases, counseled. 
 
 
 
For leaders who are ready to do their part, this eye-opening guide offers practical, actionable insights from allies and advocates who are willing to listen, learn, and "lead from behind" to create sustainable systemic change.

Klondike Gold Rush The: A...

Captivating History

Did you know that the Klondike Gold Rush was the biggest and fastest movement of people in North American history? 
From 1897 to 1898, over 100,000 men and women walked, rode, paddled, and sailed thousands of miles to the Klondike River area of the Canadian Yukon in search of gold. 
Out of those 100,000 people, only about a quarter ever made it to the goldfields, and those who did mostly went home empty-handed. But for a very lucky, hard-working, and fortunate few, the goldfields of the Yukon meant fame and fortune beyond their wildest dreams. 
In this audiobook by Captivating History, you will discover the truth about the famous Klondike Stampede. 
Here’s just a small “nugget” of what you’ll discover:The Klondike River area of the Yukon was the richest gold find in history to that date.The first “strike” was made entirely by accident.The first man to discover gold in the Klondike was a First Nations man named Skookum Jim, but his white brother-in-law filed the first claim because it was felt that a native claim would not be honored.The Gold Rush began with a tale told in a bar.Thousands of cheechakos or “tenderfeet” with no experience in the woods made their way to the Yukon.Men were required to take one thousand pounds of gear into Canada, which meant hiking back and forth in stages, literally covering thousands of miles on what normally would have been a seven-hundred plus mile journey.Thousands of horses and dogs were employed, and thousands were maltreated and killed due to men’s greedHundreds of women joined the rush, most of whom ended up in less than savory occupations.Many of the First Nations people worked as packers and guides for the newcomers, earning more money than most miners ever found.

The Channels of Student Activism...

Amy J. Binder, Jeffrey L. Kidder

An eye-opening analysis of collegiate activism and its effects on the divisions in contemporary American politics.  
 
The past six years have been marked by a contentious political atmosphere that has touched every arena of public life, including higher education. Though most college campuses are considered ideologically progressive, how can it be that the right has been so successful in mobilizing young people even in these environments? 
 
As Amy J. Binder and Jeffrey L. Kidder show in this surprising analysis of the relationship between political activism on college campuses and the broader US political landscape, while liberal students often outnumber conservatives on college campuses, liberal campus organizing remains removed from national institutions that effectively engage students after graduation. And though they are usually in the minority, conservative student groups have strong ties to national right-leaning organizations, which provide funds and expertise, as well as job opportunities and avenues for involvement after graduation. Though the left is more prominent on campus, the right has built a much more effective system for mobilizing ongoing engagement. What’s more, the conservative college ecosystem has worked to increase the number of political provocations on campus and lower the public’s trust in higher education. 
  
In analyzing collegiate activism from the left, right, and center, The Channels of Student Activism shows exactly how politically engaged college students are channeled into two distinct forms of mobilization and why that has profound consequences for the future of American politics.
