Preparing White Teachers for Anti-Racist Education

Preparing White Teachers for Anti-Racist Education

Using a framework combining Critical Race Theory and Critical Reflection and Generativity for Transformative Praxis, this book examines both how white preservice teachers conceive of race and racism (habits of mind) and how they react when dealing with race and racism in the classroom (patterns of acting). With firm grounding in real-world data, the authors detail ways in which teacher educators can recognize and deal with preservice teachers who cannot—or will not—translate their reflections on race into actions against racism.

Winner of the Bancroft PrizeLouisiana Endowment for the Humanities Book of the YearA Publishers Weekly Book of the Year“The main thrust of Horowitz’s account is to make us understand Katrina—the civic calamity, not the storm itself—as a consequence of decades of bad decisions by humans, not an unanticipated caprice of nature.”—Nicholas Lemann, New YorkerHurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans on August 29, 2005, but the decisions that caused the disaster can be traced back nearly a century. After the city weathered a major hurricane in 1915, its Sewerage and Water Board believed that developers could safely build housing near the Mississippi, on lowlands that relied on significant government subsidies to stay dry. When the flawed levee system failed, these were the neighborhoods that were devastated.The flood line tells one important story about Katrina, but it is not the only story that matters. Andy Horowitz investigates the response to the flood, when policymakers made it easier for white New Orleanians to return home than for African Americans. He explores how the profits and liabilities created by Louisiana’s oil industry have been distributed unevenly, prompting dreams of abundance and a catastrophic land loss crisis that continues today.“Masterful…Disasters have the power to reveal who we are, what we value, what we’re willing—and unwilling—to protect.”—New York Review of Books“If you want to read only one book to better understand why people in positions of power in government and industry do so little to address climate change, even with wildfires burning and ice caps melting and extinctions becoming a daily occurrence, this is the one.”—Los Angeles Review of Books

Poetry. What we have mostly missed in all the reporting is the intimacy of a poet's voice who can bring the real right up inside us. Lyn Lifshin's volume of straightforward, exact poetry in KATRINA does this. There is a clear ungarnished force to her words that gives us the chance to bring our own sense of loss, grief and compassion into the lives of those who have been drawn into such an event.

In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina narrowly missed New Orleans. The resulting storms breached rotting levees and emptied neighbouring lake Pontchartrain into the city. Marooned by floodwater that swamped over 80% of their homes, the inhabitants had to wait a week without food or clean water before their own government came to their aid. Katrina uses survivor testimonies and the rich cultural tradition of New Orleans to tell the story of the immediate aftermath of the hurricane. Shedding light on some of the more extraordinary and under-reported aspects of the tragedy, the play portrays an odyssey through a drowned space and a series of encounters with individuals displaced and abandoned within their own city. The plot follows from the death of Virgil, a decadent old New Orleanian, who has been killed by Hurricane Katrina. Trapped by the rising floodwater his partner Beatrice determines to take his body to safety at City Hall. During her journey she encounters a number of other survivors and hears their tales. A Jericho House production, Katrina premiered at the Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf, on 1 September 2009.

Kuka muistaa aikansa kansainvälisen bestsellerin, suomalaisen kosmopoliitin Sally Salmisen vuonna 1936 New Yorkissa kirjoittaman Katrinan?Nuori päähenkilö Katrina muuttaa Pohjanmaalta Ahvenanmaalle naimisiin Johanin kanssa. Johan on saamaton, puijari ja valepukki, mutta, outoa kyllä, Katrina rakastaa häntä syvästi. Lapsen ruumisarkkuakaan Johan ei saa rakennettua; Katrina on aikaansa nähden edistyksellinen nainen, ja Katrina romaani, joka ensimmäisten joukossa Suomessa kertoo naisten tarinoita heistä itsestään käsin.Romaani kuvaa elämää itsenäisyyden aikamme alun Ahvenanmaalla, kaikessa sen kauneudessa, mutta myös sisäänpäinlämpiävyydessä ja sekaannuksessa: ajan poliittinen tilanne ei voi olla näkyvissä saaristossa, ja vallanpitäjien kritiikki on Katrinan katseessa usein läsnä.Katrinassa on sekoitettuna useampia tyylilajeja seikkailukertomukseen saakka. Usein kerrontaa ja traagisiakin tapahtumia säestää älykäs, hiljainen huumori. Sen hahmot - niinnaiset kuin miehetkin - ovat harvinaisen ehjiä ja monimutkaisia, siis ihmisiä.On aika nostaa Katrina sille kuuluvalle korkealle sijalle suomalaisessa kirjallisuudessa, ja Juha Hurmeen uusi, loistelias käännös totta totisesti sen tekee!
