The College Completion Glass—Half-Full or Half-Empty?

The College Completion Glass—Half-Full or Half-Empty?

Tiffany Beth Mfume

Rowman Littlefield
2018
sidottu
Despite the Great Recession and looming “student loan debt crisis”, college education remains the most proven, invaluable lifetime investment and serves as the most reliable path to upward mobility and socioeconomic class reassignment. Mfume suggests that “the value added” of even one year of college can be transformative. As higher education professionals and partners continue to advocate for new and improved college retention and graduation measures, The College Completion Glass—Half-Full or Half-Empty? Exploring the Value of Postsecondary Education presents a new paradigm for higher education, one that focuses on “the value added” of postsecondary education as well as on student success beyond the traditional measure of college graduation rates, a model which merges conventional practices and supports for students with non-traditional partnerships with, and advocacy from, successful non-completers.

The Black Shoals

The Black Shoals

Tiffany Lethabo King

Duke University Press
2019
sidottu
In The Black Shoals Tiffany Lethabo King uses the shoal-an offshore geologic formation that is neither land nor sea-as metaphor, mode of critique, and methodology to theorize the encounter between Black studies and Native studies. King conceptualizes the shoal as a space where Black and Native literary traditions, politics, theory, critique, and art meet in productive, shifting, and contentious ways. These interactions, which often foreground Black and Native discourses of conquest and critiques of humanism, offer alternative insights into understanding how slavery, anti-Blackness, and Indigenous genocide structure white supremacy. Among texts and topics, King examines eighteenth-century British mappings of humanness, Nativeness, and Blackness; Black feminist depictions of Black and Native erotics; Black fungibility as a critique of discourses of labor exploitation; and Black art that rewrites conceptions of the human. In outlining the convergences and disjunctions between Black and Native thought and aesthetics, King identifies the potential to create new epistemologies, lines of critical inquiry, and creative practices.

A Day in the Life

I meet THE guy. I have a medical issue, and he is there to comfort me. We start a family and get married. We start to notice that the kids have a lot of medical issues. We start to wonder if this is normal. Do kids normally get sick so often? Nope. All 3 kids need glasses. Is this common to happen? Not typically. Finally, we discover that one child didn't grow or gain weight for a whole year. This is not normal. It's already tough these days being a mom of 3 kids without genetic or behavioral problems getting in the way. This is the personal journey of a family dealing with Noonan Syndrome and Autism. A story of parents who deal with special needs, medical, family, and school issues. A story of strength, determination, and joy. Embracing the little things while fearing the bigger issues. It's what my family has to deal with on a daily basis. This is a story to help any parent who feels they are not good enough, smart enough, fast enough, or strong enough know that they are not alone.

Undesirability and Her Sisters

Undesirability and Her Sisters

Tiffany E. Barber

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS
2025

How Black women's visual work functions in an era of new racial and gender meaning In the wake of contemporary art's post-Black turn and the mainstreaming of intersectionality, Undesirability and Her Sisters charts a new genealogy of Black women's art that exposes the unfinished project of racial and gender empowerment in the twenty-first century. Tiffany Barber argues that Black women's social positions at the intersection of race, gender, sexuality, and class are inherently queer, thus spurring unexpected aesthetic strategies that throw into high relief the ethical terrain of what it means to be Black and a woman now. Undesirability and Her Sisters collates what Barber terms "undesirable" representations of Black female bodies in recent American sculpture, collage, photography, and dance-based performance art by Kara Walker, Wangechi Mutu, Xaviera Simmons, and Narcissister. These works not only engage the visual senses but also incorporate olfactory, haptic, and sonic experiences that challenge traditional interpretations of Blackness and womanhood in art history, Black Studies, feminist and gender studies, dance and performance studies, and queer studies. Instead of transcendental beauty, wholeness, and individual and collective becoming, the perverse Black female figures profiled here eschew sublimation and synthesis as necessary responses to racial and gender subjugation in the past, present, and future. Through its unique, groundbreaking analysis, this book contributes to the ongoing discussions on the ethics of representation—the capacity to speak and act for oneself, to have significance and impact, and ultimately, to reject acknowledgment.
