| latoya cantrell sorority: The Radical Imagination of Black Women Pearl K. Ford Dowe, Pearl K. Ford, 2023 Historically, many Black women have viewed political participation as a means to achieve full equality and improve their status in US society. To this end, Black women have long engaged in politics through activism, voting, mobilization, and seeking office. Since 2016 the number of women, particularly Black women, seeking office has increased dramatically. Including interviews with Black women holding political office at the national, state, and local levels, as well as focus group data, The Radical Imagination of Black Women challenges political science's current approach to political ambition by exploring how Black women decide to seek political office. Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black women's political ambition often manifests outside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision for a full democracy. This is ambition that occurs in a specific context of marginalization, and both motivation and the conditions surrounding such motivation are critical to understanding the full range of Black women's political work. By focusing on Black women's experiences in elite politics, The Radical Imagination of Black Women is a much-needed intervention in the literature on electoral ambition, women in politics, and candidates and elections. |

| latoya cantrell sorority: The Real Ebonics Debate Theresa Perry, Lisa Delpit, 1998-06-17 In the winter of 1996, the Oakland school board's resolution recognizing Ebonics as a valid linguistic system generated a brief firestorm of hostile criticism and misinformation, then faded from public consciousness. But in the classrooms of America, the question of how to engage the distinctive language of many African-American children remains urgent. In The Real Ebonics Debate some of our most important educators, linguists, and writers, as well as teachers and students reporting from the field, examine the lessons of the Ebonics controversy and unravel the complex issues at the heart of how America educates its children. |

| latoya cantrell sorority: Extremal Graph Theory Bela Bollobas, 2013-07-02 The ever-expanding field of extremal graph theory encompasses a diverse array of problem-solving methods, including applications to economics, computer science, and optimization theory. This volume, based on a series of lectures delivered to graduate students at the University of Cambridge, presents a concise yet comprehensive treatment of extremal graph theory. Unlike most graph theory treatises, this text features complete proofs for almost all of its results. Further insights into theory are provided by the numerous exercises of varying degrees of difficulty that accompany each chapter. Although geared toward mathematicians and research students, much of Extremal Graph Theory is accessible even to undergraduate students of mathematics. Pure mathematicians will find this text a valuable resource in terms of its unusually large collection of results and proofs, and professionals in other fields with an interest in the applications of graph theory will also appreciate its precision and scope. |

| latoya cantrell sorority: Food Philosophy David M. Kaplan, 2019-11-19 Food is a challenging subject. There is little consensus about how and what we should produce and consume. It is not even clear what food is or whether people have similar experiences of it. On one hand, food is recognized as a basic need, if not a basic right. On the other hand, it is hard to generalize about it given the wide range of practices and cuisines, and the even wider range of tastes. This book is an introduction to the philosophical dimensions of food. David M. Kaplan examines the nature and meaning of food, how we experience it, the social role it plays, its moral and political dimensions, and how we judge it to be delicious or awful. He shows how the different branches of philosophy contribute to a broader understanding of food: what food is (metaphysics), how we experience food (epistemology), what taste in food is (aesthetics), how we should make and eat food (ethics), how governments should regulate food (political philosophy), and why food matters to us (existentialism). Kaplan embarks on a series of philosophical investigations, considering topics such as culinary identity and authenticity, tasting and food criticism, appetite and disgust, meat eating and techno-foods, and consumerism and conformity. He emphasizes how different narratives help us navigate the complex world of food and reminds us we all have responsibilities to ourselves, to others, and to animals. An original treatment of a timely subject, Food Philosophy is suitable for undergraduates while making a significant contribution to scholarly debates. |

| latoya cantrell sorority: Black Under Ashanti Anderson, 2021-09-28 Poetry. African & African American Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Winner of the Spring 2020 Black River Chapbook Competition. The poem from which BLACK UNDER derives its title opens with a resounding declaration: I am black and black underneath. These words are an anthem that reverberates throughout Ashanti Anderson's debut short collection. We feel them as we navigate her poems' linguistic risks and shifts and trumpets; as we straddle scales that tip us toward trauma's still-bloody knife in one turn then into cutting wit and shrewd humor in the next. We hear them amplified through Anderson's dynamic voice; which sings of anguish and atrocities and also of discovery and beauty. BLACK UNDER layers outward perception with internal truth to offer an almost-telescopic examination of the redundancies--and incongruences--of marginalization and hypervisibility. Anderson torques the contradictions of oppression; giving her speakers the breathing room to discover their own agency. In these pages; declarations are reclamations; and joy is not an aspiration but a birthright. It is rare to see such work as Ashanti Anderson's BLACK UNDER dive so deeply; head-first and unflinching; into history; taking it under one's wing as if their own body and blood lived those traumatic experiences; housed those moments of joy. To prepare myself for audacious lines such as 'Oh; fluted ribcage; won't you sing;' would be impossible. Anderson is a fierce storyteller; unmaking and recreating images; shifting what language can do--will do. Oh! There is such beauty in clear lines like 'This is how I pray for you when I'm not pessimistic' or; 'I tried staring at the sun once because I needed a metaphor.' You; too; will wish for metaphorical moments when Anderson whips such beauty across the page. And trust; you will get one; but it will not be what you expect.--Luther Hughes This book is polyvocal and kaleidoscopic; searing with slick acrostics; incisive self-portraiture; wry sixteen-line sonnets & ironic job descriptions ('Career-Changing Opportunity!') seeking Black artists willing to 'draw blood and conclusions'--to carve a living from death and intergenerational trauma. BLACK UNDER defies strict categorization; save for the fact that it is altogether excellent. Ashanti Anderson reminds me that; given the right pitch; 'this bubbled mouth ain't a sick it's a cure.'--Marcus Wicker Ashanti Anderson's refusal and rise in this collection recenter me in my communities; and in my Chicananess. Because the speakers in BLACK UNDER are fully aware of the white gaze and are absolutely unconcerned with its survival. Instead; they're focused. Anderson writes; 'I erased my smile in another poem because someone said it made no sense;' and follows with; 'if you want blood I will have for you my red wet grin.' I've read these poems again and again; and every time I leave like--it's we time. With lines like 'throat unbuttons its sound;' and 'I wish trumpets for my last breath;' we end up communing with people who remember themselves; over and over; the way they were; and the way they are and are and are.--Sara Borjas |

| latoya cantrell sorority: CowParade Houston , 2001 In 1999, the cows stopped traffic all over Chicago. In 2000, the cows took over New York. Now for 2001, the cows are heading back West. Introducing CowParade Houston, a companion book that will keep the cows and their civic pride around long after the summer's events are over. As with every CowParade, the sculptures in CowParade Houston are totally original, created by local artists and sponsored by local businesses. Each city mounts a street- and plaza-side display of approximately 300 cows, every one of which is featured in full-color in the book. Each cow from Houston's Flamencow to Cowpernicus will be labeled with the artist, the sponsor, and the cow's location. Since its first staging in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1998, CowParade has been hugely successful in each of its host cities. Post-parade auctions of the sculptures generated $3.5 million in Chicago and $4 million in New York. Proceeds from CowParade Houston will go toward a $345 million expansion of The Texas Children's Hospital and Texas Children's Cancer Center. |
