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.

Atoms & Orchestras: The Case for Standards-Based Management

Derrick Van Mell

Tranton Press Books
2023
nidottu
Being a great boss can make a huge difference in people's lives. In 2022, there were 887 accredited MBA programs in the world, so why hasn't there been a simple, standard book clearly defining the manager's job? Atoms & Orchestras: The Case for Standards-Based Management finally gives the world a common language of terms, tools, and practices. The standards include the one-page Pledge of Managerial Power, the single-screen General Management Index (The Index) of terms and practices, and the half-page Milwaukee Model of Manager Development. The Toolkit includes one-page tools-tested with hundreds of executives in every sector-for meeting management, planning, process improvement, and project oversight. Concise, readable, practical, Atoms & Orchestras can be read section by section, each of which ends with a recap and a simple set of individual and group activities to try. The last chapter, "Management as a Calling," makes the plea that managers can and should think of their work like other helping professions. Be the boss everyone wants to work for

Promoting Positive Racial Teacher-Student Classroom Relationships

Promoting Positive Racial Teacher-Student Classroom Relationships

Derrick L. Campbell

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

Derrick S Slack

Know Wonder Publishing
2020

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.

Love Ends in a Tandem Kayak

Love Ends in a Tandem Kayak

Derrick C Brown

Write Bloody Publishing
2023
pokkari
Love Ends in A Tandem Kayak is the death of Urban Outfitters poetry. It is the death of stunted academic fluffing. It is a deep dive into radical self-love, nude grief, and the revealed embarrassments and humor of being human. Chapters of love, erotica, loneliness, sorrow, and hardcore joy. This is a weird book. Due to years of editing, tweaking, and sorting, this is the most thoughtful collection to date, an economical beauty in the pages, and the best book the author has ever written. If you've got a deep wound, this book will make an attempt to hold your hand and guide you to the other side.
