Hip-Hop and Philosophy

Hip-Hop and Philosophy

Derrick Darby; Tommie Shelby; Cornel West

Open Court Publishing Co ,U.S.
2005
pokkari
Is there too much violence in hip-hop music? What’s the difference between Kimberly Jones and the artist Lil' Kim? Is hip-hop culture a "black" thing? Is it okay for N.W.A. to call themselves niggaz and for Dave Chappelle to call everybody bitches? These witty, provocative essays ponder these and other thorny questions, linking the searing cultural issues implicit ? and often explicit ? in hip-hop to the weighty matters examined by the great philosophers of the past. The book shows that rap classics by Lauryn Hill, OutKast, and the Notorious B.I.G. can help uncover the meanings of love articulated in Plato's Symposium; that Rakim, 2Pac, and Nas can shed light on the conception of God's essence expressed in St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologica; and explores the connection between Run-D.M.C., Snoop Dogg, and Hegel. Hip-Hop and Philosophy proves that rhyme and reason, far from being incompatible, can be mixed and mastered to contemplate life's most profound mysteries.

The Challenge of Blackness

The Challenge of Blackness

Derrick E. White

University Press of Florida
2011
sidottu
The Challenge of Blackness examines the history and legacy of the Institute of the Black World (IBW), one of the most important Black Freedom Struggle organisations to emerge in the aftermath of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A think tank based in Atlanta, the IBW sought to answer King's question ""Where do we go from here?"" Its solution was to organise a broad array of leading Black activists, scholars, and intellectuals to find ways to combine the emerging academic discipline of Black Studies with the Black political agenda. Throughout the 1970s, debates over race and class in the Unites States grew increasingly hostile, and the IBW's approach was ultimately unable to challenge the growing conservatism. By using the IBW as the lens through which to view these turbulent years, Derrick White provides an exciting new interpretation of the immediate post-civil rights years in America.

Empowering Men of Color on Campus

Empowering Men of Color on Campus

Derrick R. Brooms; Jelisa Clark; Matthew Smith

Rutgers University Press
2018
nidottu
While recruitment efforts toward men of color have increased at many colleges and universities, their retention and graduation rates still lag behind those of their white peers. Men of color, particularly black and Latino men, face a number of unique challenges in their educational careers that often impact their presence on campus and inhibit their collegiate success. Empowering Men of Color on Campus examines how men of color negotiate college through their engagement in Brothers for United Success (B4US), an institutionally-based male-centered program at a Hispanic Serving Institution. Derrick R. Brooms, Jelisa Clark, and Matthew Smith introduce the concept of educational agency, which is harbored in cultural wealth and demonstrates how ongoing B4US engagement empowers the men’s efforts and abilities to persist in college. They found that the cultural wealth(s) of the community enhanced the students’ educational agency, which bolstered their academic aspirations, academic and social engagement, and personal development. The authors demonstrate how educational agency and cultural wealth can be developed and refined given salient and meaningful immersions, experiences, engagements, and communal connections.

From Enron to Evo

From Enron to Evo

Derrick Hindery

University of Arizona Press
2014
nidottu
Throughout the Americas, a boom in oil, gas, and mining development has pushed the extractive frontier deeper into indigenous territories. Centering on a long-term study of Enron and Shell's Cuiabá pipeline, From Enron to Evo traces the struggles of Bolivia's indigenous peoples for self-determination over their lives and territories. In his analysis of their response to this encroaching development, author Derrick Hindery also sheds light on surprising similarities between neoliberal reform and the policies of the nation's first indigenous president, Evo Morales.Drawing upon extensive interviews and document analysis, Hindery argues that many of the structural conditions created by neoliberal policies—including partial privatization of the oil and gas sector—still persist under Morales. Tactics employed by both Morales and his neoliberal predecessors utilize the rhetoric of environmental protection and indigenous rights to justify oil, gas, mining, and road development in indigenous territories and sensitive ecoregions. Indigenous peoples, while mindful of gains made during Morales's tenure, are increasingly dissatisfied with the administration's development model, particularly when it infringes upon their right to self-determination. From Enron to Evo demonstrates their dynamic and pragmatic strategies to cope with development and adversity, while also advancing their own aims.Offering a critique of both free-market piracy and the dilemmas of resource nationalism, this is a groundbreaking book for scholars, policymakers, and advocates concerned with indigenous politics, social movements, environmental justice, and resistance in an era of expanding resource development.

Question-Based Planning: Business Planning Without Mission, Vision, Strategy, Tactics or Objectives

Question-Based Planning: Business Planning Without Mission, Vision, Strategy, Tactics or Objectives

Derrick Van Mell

FIRST PERSON PRODUCTIONS
2010
nidottu
All the CEOs interviewed for this book are intensely frustrated with the jargon, cost, time requirement and general ineffectiveness of "strategic planning". But their key complaint is about the MBA facilitators: "We don't want them to tell us what to do; we just want them to ask us good questions." Question-Based Planning (QBP) asks good questions in plain English in a systematic way. It's completed in five 2-hour meetings over five weeks and ends in a 1-page plan. It includes monthly progress reviews and annual updates. It transforms planning from a frustrating, contentious exercise into a productive, positive and effective act of leadership.

Most schools do not recognize the impact that our cultural differences have on student achievement. The Promoting Positive Racial Teacher-Student Classroom Relationships book outlines the entire process that will increase student achievement by reducing student discipline. The book includes all research theories and administrator and teacher leadership qualities necessary to increase school effectiveness.Findings from this study contain organizational, teacher, and student insights concerning thinking and behavior that lead to classroom conflicts between teachers and minority students. Teachers developed strategies that promoted social and educational processes that lead to positive racial relationships between White teachers and minority Hispanic and Black students, which decreased student discipline for minority students and increased minority student achievement.

Orange

Orange

Derrick S Slack

Know Wonder Publishing
2020
sidottu
Orange, a young person wrestling with feelings of belonging, helplessness and fitting in with the other personified colors of the rainbow, discovers her purpose, worth, and with help, a better sense of self. The value of diversity, inclusion, power of words, and getting help are touched upon in this wonderful timely and relevant children's book. With the prevelance of adolescent and teen suicide in the world, Orange reminds us that bullying, the power of words, and being included often are at the core of the relation to such a choice a young person faces in that ultimate decision to take one's own life.

Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope

Derrick R Lafayette

Fictional Cafe Press
2023
pokkari
As the French author Marcel Proust once remarked, the mind evokes endlessly changing thought patterns, much like a kaleidoscope. Reading Derrick R. Lafayette's Kaleidoscope: Dark Tales, a genuinely extraordinary collection of five short stories and a novella, is like gazing upon the world again and again through bits of colored glass.What happens when . . . An old gunfighter, accompanied by a Billy-the-Kid wannabe, arrives in a weird Wild West town to claim a straightforward bounty? But triggered by mistaken identity, the pair run afoul of a supernatural occurrence. What happens when . . . A loner, held captive for months in a mud castle, escapes but feels certain he is still doomed? Walking a deserted highway to Elysian he meets Kali, the most perfect being, as well as assorted man-eating monsters while slowly descends into madness. What happens when . . . Two Abbott-and-Costello-like scientists, marooned on a nuclear bomb-blasted planet, try to re-engineer soldier-cyborgs? Convinced they're living in the best of all possible worlds, they struggle to survive as enemy armies swarm around them. What happens when . . . A priest with supernatural ecclesiastical powers and an innocent young girl who has just buried her father board a Victorian horse-drawn coach, beginning a journey into a spirit-infested netherland where nothing is as it seems? What happens when . . . A middle-class black family - father, mother and teenaged son - reveal their innermost thoughts and experiences, unaware that COVID-19 will strike its first deadly blow within a week? There's more. Medieval fantasy. Science fiction. A paranoiac who plays chess against himself but cannot win. No dark tale in Kaleidoscope - whether magical realism, fantasy, science fiction, absurdist, dystopian or Fabulist - is beyond Lafayette's keen observations and engaging storytelling. Rod Serling ("The Twilight Zone") would have loved to create radio dramas from these dark tales.
