- Dance In My Heart - A Native American Western Novella
128,95 kr. second Edition Release Sticks and stones... Candice Lincoln is waiting for her big break. Journalism, at least when it comes to war corresponding, is still a man's game. When she's handed a fluff story to cover a group of Native American dancers in the Midwest, the last thing she wants to do is drop everything and abandon her desk in the city. Hawk Manone is proud of himself and the people to which he was born. Sure, they have their problems from years of neglect, discrimination and overt hostility, but if they work together, he knows that his people can become proud again. That's why he volunteers his time as part of a dance team that helps to educate the white population as much as his own. He never thought his desire to teach the general population about his Nation would lead to falling in love with a woman as pure, and as white, as the driven snow. But then again... Even the snow isn't white once it gets dirty. And when it comes to journalism, apparently, "dirty" is the name of the game. Publisher's Note While writing Dance In My Heart, Marjorie spent many hours talking with a dear friend and member of the Ojibwe Nation, Waterfall Woman. Water's comments and suggestions were immeasurably important as Candice's character arc came full circle. The language in Dance In My Heart and the contemporary Native American attitude is authentic, and unless you've actually heard it, rather unpronounceable. Do your best. We won't judge. The author would like to thank "Waterfall Woman" for her astounding help during the writing of this novella. We hope you enjoy reading Dance In My Heart, a work of Native American Western Romance, as much as Marjorie enjoyed writing it. Includes a sneak peek at Loving the Heartland - Top 10 Amazon Bestseller for Lesbian Romance

248,95 kr. Very little has been written about Blacks and the Culture they cultivated during the 19th and 20th Century, especially in the South in the City of Mobile, Alabama. Within this book, special emphasis is given and written about the years of the 40''s through the 70''s in which part of this Culture was captured and cultivated. The authors take you back in time to reveal a look into (1) Historical Perspectives (2) Reveal the Influences of the Church (3) The Daily Activities and Dress (4) The Foods and Livelihood (5) The Materialization of The Family (6) An In-depth look at the Community of Old Down-The-Bay (7) One Author''s search for identity after the Destruction of the Old Down-The-Bay Community; A simple formula used to gain Economic Stability (8) The Judicial Practice used to take land away from Blacks and (10) What to do legally to possibly regain lost land (11) The Future Outlook of Blacks.This book highlights with pictures and articles such events as: Society Meetings; Churches and Congregations; Social Functions; Personalities; Local Talents/Creoles; Hair Styles and Fashions; Schools, Teams, Curriculum, and Students; Oral Histories; Foods Combinations; Home and over the Counter Remedies for sickness; Taboos; Slang Words and their meanings; Old Adages; Cleaning & Restoration Methods; The Civil Rights Movement & The Negro Proclamation; High Positions Appointed to Negroes; and Advertisements used during the years of the 1940''s thru the 70''s.Lastly, this book will give my defined meaning of the words Soul, Soul Food; The Blues; Black Language and Usage; A list of Black Music with defined characteristics; and gives you an in depth view of the identity of "WHO BLACK PEOPLE REALLY ARE".It is our hope that this book will instill pride and knowledge of how life was in the South, in particular Mobile, Alabama, give meaning to "Who You Really Are?" being a Black person; be a challenge to others from different cities and communities to research and write in a manner wherein their stories are told from the voice of the people; also, influence others to write about their Black culture and heritage; consult with family elders about the importance of family and church involvement; and, finally look into land that was taken through bogus land deals.

- Promising Practices From the Cultural Literacy Curriculum Institute
800,95 kr. Culturally Responsive Teaching and Reflection in Higher Education explores how postsecondary educators can develop their own cultural awareness and provide inclusive learning environments for all students. Discussing best practices from the Cultural Literacy Curriculum Institute at Lesley University, faculty and administrators who are committed to culturally responsive teaching reflect on how to create an inclusive environment and how educators can cultivate the skills, attitudes, and knowledge necessary for implementing culturally responsive curriculum and pedagogy. Rather than a list of "right answers," essays in this important resource integrate discussion and individual reflection to support educators to enhance skills for responding effectively to racial, cultural, and social difference in their personal and professional contexts. This book is as an excellent starting point or further enrichment resource to accompany program or institutional diversity and inclusion efforts.
