Kwabena Amen: The Globe's Upside : & 3rd Orbit of Earth - Trilocation
Description
Why is north considered up? How did cartographers arrive at this conclusion? What if south was scientifically shown to be upwards? Why are humans collectively killing the very planet that is providing them with the sustenance and experience of manifested life? Could this be due to incorrect global perspectives? You would not get into a vehicle, turn the ignition, put into first gear, and proceed to travel whilst looking through the rear windscreen; orienting yourself as if the back of your vehicle was the front, would you? Yet, this is like what we do everyday when we orient globes and maps of Earth with north as up! Incorrect perspectives lead to accidents! Are you ready to re-evaluate from scratch, all that you've been taught about the world? Using everyday examples, Kwabena Amen presents a world-correcting idea - that Trilocation, Earth's third-orbit through space, determines that Antarctica, and the South Pole, is in fact up, or top of the planet!
Filled with archival photographs and amazing fact boxes, this groundbreaking series introduces young readers to some of history's most interesting and influential characters. Tells the story of the farmgirl turned Christian martyr, Joan of Arc, who heard voices encouraging her to secure the throne of France for its rightful heir. Supports the Common Core State Standards. "Montana Bride" is a compelling read and definitely a noteworthy addition to a great series. "Fresh Fiction" What does diversity do? What are we doing when we use the language of diversity? Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. Diversity is an ordinary, even unremarkable, feature of institutional life. Yet diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, as captured through their use of the metaphor of the "brick wall." On Being Included offers an explanation of this apparent paradox. It explores the gap between symbolic commitments to diversity and the experience of those who embody diversity. Commitments to diversity The Globe's Upside : & 3rd Orbit of Earth - Trilocation download ebook are understood as "non-performatives" that do not bring about what they name. The book provides an account of institutional whiteness and shows how racism can be obscured by the institutionalization of diversity. Diversity is used as evidence that institutions do not have a problem with racism. On Being Included offers a critique of what happens when diversity is offered as a solution. It also shows how diversity workers generate knowledge of institutions in attempting to transform them.
