Rhetorics of Whiteness
Tammie M. Kennedy; Joyce Irene Middleton
Southern Illinois University Press
2016

With the election of our first black president, many Americans began to argue that we had finally ended racism. Yet near-daily news reports regularly invoke white as a demographic category and recount instances of racialized violence. Clearly, American society isn’t as color-blind as people would like to believe. In Rhetorics of Whiteness: Postracial Hauntings in Popular Culture, Social Media, and Education, contributors reveal how identifications with racialized whiteness continue to manifest themselves in American culture. The sixteen essays that comprise this collection not only render visible how racialized whiteness infiltrates twenty-first-century discourses and material spaces but also offer critical tactics for disrupting this normative whiteness.

In this welcome guide, sociologists who have successfully established consulting practices present practical examples of how to apply sociological knowledge and methodological procedures to real life situations. In addition to offering detailed suggestions for training, the contributors explore the many ways in which sociologists can help solve problems faced by business, governmental organizations, social agencies, schools, and churches. The ups and downs of establishing a consulting practice are outlined and supplemented by first-hand accounts of the contributors' experiences.
Dilly, the armadillo, was determined to be independent. He wanted to roam and explore flower and vegetable gardens; search for bugs to eat and nap when he wished. He did not want his family to tell him when and where to do things. One morning, he left his borrow while his mom, dad, and brothers were still asleep. He was off in search of breakfast and to explore his world.Ahead was a beautiful garden with lots of plants that had snakes, worms, and bugs living within the roots. He began to dig and gorge on these yummy treasures. What a feast Suddenly, an angry woman approached, swinging a large object at his tail. He fled It was a surprise to Dilly that leaving the garden was not enough to bring him to safety. Instead, new dangers seemed to be lurking around every corner He would have to be smart and rely on his special armadillo traits, like his hard, bony armor, in order to get home. He would have to walk and swim forever if it meant seeing his three brothers, his Mama, and his Papa again Dilly knew that the journey would be long and hard, but he also knew that getting back to his family was the only thing that mattered. He had escaped the woman, but then turned to face a huge green snake After attacking the snake, Dilly came to a large river that he must cross to get back home. On the other side of the river were friendly armadillos he could join for lunch. While feasting, the armadillos were confronted by a mean, growling coyote. Dilly's new friends left him to face the coyote alone Will Dilly ever make it home?
Baltimore City Homicide Detective Cal Hopkins and his partner investigate the rape of the daughter of Detective Elliott Bowers, allegedly committed by his seventeen-year-old foster child, Eddie Collins. Three days later, Baltimore City police officers arrest him for rape. As they try investigate, more questions arise about Bowers. Nothing in Eddie’s history suggests that he could commit a rape. Despite the testimonies of character witnesses, he is convicted and sentenced based on Caroline’s testimony and the DNA evidence from her bed. They accumulate enough evidence to charge Bowers. A search warrant at his bank revealed a safety deposit box containing $750,000, a notebook, and a handgun. The crime lab discovers that this gun is the same one that killed Detective Hopkins’ former partner a few years earlier. With the assistance of some “friends,” Bowers’ life gets turned upside down. Credit cards are cancelled, power is turned off, someone maces his car seats, and he is abducted. Even though they have enough against Bowers to send him away forever, Hopkins still wants him for the rape and wants Eddie cleared. By the time the victims of his dark deeds are finished with him, Bowers is almost relieved to be arrested.
Nestled at the heart of the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast, lined with white beaches, shaded by majestic live oak trees, and caressed by gentle sea breezes, Ocean Springs has grown over the last century from a small fishing and agricultural village into a lively arts community. With rich historical roots beginning with the establishment of a French beachhead in 1699, Ocean Springs was incorporated in 1892 with fewer than 600 residents and has grown to a population of 17,442 as of 2010. Ocean Springs is a modern cosmopolitan mix of creative arts, fine dining, light industry, and seashore recreation. A visit to Ocean Springs is a pleasant mix of old and new, with quiet tree-lined streets, busy galleries and museums, restful parks, and treasured memories of the past.

Unlike Europe, where most public sector workers have long been included in collective bargaining agreements, the United States excluded public employees from such legislation until the 1960s and 70s. Since then, union membership in the U. S. has grown more rapidly among public workers than among workers in the private sector. This book provides up-to-date information on public sector collective bargaining in the United States today. The editors' seek to understand the real nature of PSB by examining eight states where the action is taking place -- California, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The chapters offer unique case studies of legal origins, developments, and challenges to collective bargaining; negotiations experience and outcomes; discussion of legislation; and emphasis of histoical development as well as current practice.

Striking color images depict traditional lifeways and the pain of imprisonmentDuring the 1870s, Cheyenne and Kiowa prisoners of war at Fort Marion, Florida, graphically recorded their responses to incarceration in drawings that conveyed both the present reality of imprisonment and nostalgic memories of home. Now a leading authority on American Indian drawings and paintings examines an important collection of these drawings to reveal how art blossomed at Fort Marion.The Silberman Collection is an unusually complete group of images that illustrate the artists' fascination with the world outside the southern plains, their living conditions and survival strategies as prisoners, and their reminiscences of pre-reservation life. Joyce M. Szabo explains the significance of this preeminent collection, which focuses on seven of the prisoner-artists - most notably Zotom and Making Medicine. Through a selection of 120 striking color images, Szabo shows how each artist creatively recorded his experiences.Szabo compares the artists' various styles, examines repeated themes to show how each artist approached the same subjects, and considers the distinctiveness of these drawings as representing the emergent culture of Fort Marion. She also surveys how Fort Marion art has been collected since the late 1870s and describes Arthur and Shifra Silberman's approaches to collecting.Although other books have considered the Fort Marion artists, this is the first to examine their works in such analytical and comparative detail. Art from Fort Marion: The Silberman Collection captures a unique visual form of Native expression.
Standing Our Ground: Women, Environmental Justice, and the Fight to End Mountaintop Removal examines women's efforts to end mountaintop removal coal mining in West Virginia. Mountaintop removal coal mining, which involves demolishing the tops of hills and mountains to provide access to coal seams, is one of the most significant environmental threats in Appalachia, where it is most commonly practiced. The Appalachian women featured in Barry's book have firsthand experience with the negative impacts of Big Coal in West Virginia. Through their work in organizations such as the Coal River Mountain Watch and the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, they fight to save their mountain communities by promoting the development of alternative energy resources. Barry's engaging and original work reveals how women's tireless organizing efforts have made mountaintop removal a global political and environmental issue and laid the groundwork for a robust environmental justice movement in central Appalachia.
