"This volume is an exciting, eclectic collection of essays in honor of Kermit S. Champa, a leading scholar of impressionism and critic of twentieth-century art. The lead essay by David Carrier is followed by others from several generations of scholars and museum curators trained by Professor Champa. Together, they cover an extremely wide historical range, from the eighteenth to twenty-first centuries, and honor Professor Champa's own scholarly rigor, methodological diversity, and intellectual breadth through topics ranging from art history to cultural studies."--Jacket

This handbook examines the effects and influences on child and youth development of prejudice, discrimination, and inequity as well as other critical contexts, including implicit bias, explicit racism, post immigration processes, social policies, parenting and media influences. It traces the impact of bias and discrimination on children, from infancy through emerging adulthood with implications for later years. The handbook explores ways in which the expanding social, economic, and racial inequities in society are linked to increases in negative outcomes for children through exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Chapters examine a range of ACEs – low income, separation/divorce, family substance abuse and mental illness, exposure to neighborhood and/or domestic violence, parental incarceration, immigration and displacement, and parent loss through death. Chapters also discuss discrimination and prejudice within the adverse experiences of African American, Asian American, European American, Latino, Native American, Arab American, and Sikh as well as LGBTQ youth and non-binary children. Additionally, the handbook elevates dynamic aspects of resilience, adjustment, and the daily triumphs of children and youth faced with issues related to prejudice and differential treatment. Topics featured in the Handbook include: The intergenerational transmission of protective parent responses to historical trauma. The emotional impact of the acting-white accusation. DREAMers and their experience growing up undocumented in the USA. Online racial discrimination and its relation to mental health and academic outcomes. Teaching strategies for preventing bigoted behavior in class. Emerging areas such as sociopolitical issues, gender prejudice, and dating violence. The Handbook of Children and Prejudice is a must-have resource for researchers, graduate students, clinicians, therapists, and other professionals in clinical child and school psychology, social work, public health, developmental psychology, pediatrics, family studies, juvenile justice, child and adolescent psychiatry, and educational psychology.

Handbook of Children and Prejudice

Wendy Oliver

This interdisciplinary book examines the work of several female artists since 1960 in the areas of dance, music, installation, photography, architecture, poetry, literature, theater, film, and performance art. Each chapter is primarily devoted to an important work by a single artist, seen within its historical context, and with particular attention to how each artist incorporated gender issues or feminist thought into her respective art form. Laurie Anderson, Gwendolyn Brooks, Jane Campion, Judy Chicago, Zaha Hadid, Pauline Oliveros, Yvonne Rainer, Cindy Sherman, Amy Tan, and Paula Vogel have each made groundbreaking contributions to their fields. As a group, they represent a tremendous diversity of approaches to art making: from accessible to opaque, from overtly feminist to apolitical, from emotive to cool, from controversial to mainstream.

Historical Society, William Sidney Mount: Painter of American Life is a major exhibition exploring the career of an artist who virtually invented American genre painting. The exhibition, organized by The Museums at Stony Brook and The American Federation of Arts, will later travel to the Frick Art Museum in Pittsburgh and the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth. William Sidney Mount (1807-1868) was the first American-born painter to achieve widespread fame for his depictions of everyday life. This major loan exhibition, the first focused consideration of Mount's artistic achievement, will present his works in all media. The chronologically-organized exhibition juxtaposes finished paintings with preparatory sketches and prints in order to examine both Mount's working methods and the manner in which his paintings were disseminated through the print medium. The selection will reveal how thoroughly Mount's images penetrated 19th-century American culture and how his vision of culture in the formative decades of the country helped shape the way the nation sees itself today. The exhibition includes several William Sidney Mount paintings from the permanent collection of The New-York Historical Society: Coming to the Point, Dregs in the Cup and Bargaining for a Horse. ...

They are laborers, soldiers, refugees, and orphans. In areas of the world torn by poverty, disease, and war, millions of children are invisible victims, deprived of home, family, and basic human rights. Their chances for a stable adult life are extremely slim. The powerful interdisciplinary volume Vulnerable Children brings a global child-rights perspective to the lives of indigenous, refugee, and minority children in and from crisis-prone regions. Focusing on self-determination, education, security, health, and related issues, an international panel of scholars examines the structural and political sources of children's vulnerabilities and their effects on development. The book analyzes intervention programs currently in place and identifies challenges that must be met at both the community and larger policy levels. These chapters also go a long way to explain the often-blurred line between vulnerability and resilience. Included in the coverage: Dilemmas of rights-based approaches to child well-being in an African cultural context. Poverty and minority children’s education in the U.S.: case study of a Sudanese refugee family. The heterogeneity of young children’s experiences in Kenya and Brazil. A world tour of interventions for children of a parent with a psychiatric illness. An exploration of fosterage of Owambo orphans in Namibia. UNICEF in Colombia: defending and nurturing childhood in media, public, and policy discourses. Vulnerable Children is a must-have volume for researchers, graduate students, and clinicians/professionals/practitioners across a range of fields, including child and school psychology, social work, maternal and child health, developmental psychology, anthropology, sociology, social policy, and public health.

Black Educational Choice: Assessing the Private and Public Alternatives to Traditional K–12 Public Schools

As evil runs rampant in America and the rest of the world waves of fear and dishonesty are sweeping over us causing us to not know who to trust. Friends are turning against friends, neighbors against neighbors, and family against family. What we need are sweat drops of mercy for an eternal living God to cover our lives and give us peace for today and hope for tomorrow. The poems in this book were written to encourage us to remember that there is a "Holy God" who loves us, has a plan for us, and walks with us through the fire. Our American heritage is based on this foundation. As life-changing topics of our day loom before us, they have been discussed here through the eyes of hope in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, looking to that glorious day when the trumpet will sound and we will then be with Him in Glory forever. Wounded warriors, 9-11, respect for our President, even our National Anthem are being called into question. As each topic is discussed it is with the realization that these "Moments of Mercy" need a direct touch of mercy from a high and holy God. How do you view these issues of the day? Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and forgiving heart. Be the one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them. Take a stand for TRUTH before it is too late. "I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life. No man comes to the Father but by me." John 14:6 KJV
