A dark secret lies in Alium, Mississippi. Canaan Evans, a sixteen-year-old, grew up in Alium, where it is a town out of time. It was run by the Ku Klux Klan. Most of his life, he believed their every word, until a visit to his grandparents in Tennessee changed his life. He was exposed to the love of God and his view of all the other races. Canaan returned home on fire for God and sharing the gospel with everyone. While he spreads the good news, he finds himself in love with an African American girl named Hayden Williams. When Canaan finally gets the courage to confess his feelings, he is asked to go undercover to find out about a strange plan cooked up by the Klan. He agrees after he tells her his heart, but on one condition: that she be his anchor. Life in his new role is causing him to teeter on his beliefs in God and the lies of the Klan. Will Canaan be able to keep his sanity as he goes undercover?

Floodplains

Processes and Management for Ecosystem Services

By: Jeffrey J. Opperman,Peter B. Moyle,Eric W. Larsen,Joan L. Florsheim,Amber D. Manfree

Floodplains provides an overview of floodplains and their management in temperate regions. It synthesizes decades of research on floodplain ecosystems, explaining hydrologic, geomorphic, and ecological processes and how under appropriate management these processes can provide benefits to society ranging from healthy fish populations to flood-risk reduction. Drawing on the framework of reconciliation ecology, the authors explore how new concepts for floodplain ecosystem restoration and management can increase these benefits. Additionally, they use case studies from California’s Central Valley and other temperate regions to show how innovative management approaches are reshaping rivers and floodplains around the world.

The Fight for Interracial Marriage Rights in Antebellum Massachusetts

By: Amber D. Moulton

The Fight for Interracial Marriage Rights in Antebellum Massachusetts

By: Amber D. Moulton

Well known as an abolitionist stronghold before the Civil War, Massachusetts had taken steps to eliminate slavery as early as the 1780s. Nevertheless, a powerful racial caste system still held sway, reinforced by a law prohibiting “amalgamation”—marriage between whites and blacks. The Fight for Interracial Marriage Rights in Antebellum Massachusetts chronicles a grassroots movement to overturn the state’s ban on interracial unions. Assembling information from court and church records, family histories, and popular literature, Amber D. Moulton recreates an unlikely collaboration of reformers who sought to rectify what, in the eyes of the state’s antislavery constituency, appeared to be an indefensible injustice. Initially, activists argued that the ban provided a legal foundation for white supremacy in Massachusetts. But laws that enforced racial hierarchy remained popular even in Northern states, and the movement gained little traction. To attract broader support, the reformers recalibrated their arguments along moral lines, insisting that the prohibition on interracial unions weakened the basis of all marriage, by encouraging promiscuity, prostitution, and illegitimacy. Through trial and error, reform leaders shaped an appeal that ultimately drew in Garrisonian abolitionists, equal rights activists, antislavery evangelicals, moral reformers, and Yankee legislators, all working to legalize interracial marriage. This pre–Civil War effort to overturn Massachusetts’ antimiscegenation law was not a political aberration but a crucial chapter in the deep history of the African American struggle for equal rights, on a continuum with the civil rights movement over a century later.

Global Perspectives on Issues and Solutions in Urban Education

By: Petra A. Robinson,Ayana Allen-Handy,Amber Bryant,Chance W. Lewis

In 2014, The Urban Education Collaborative at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte hosted its first biennial International Conference on Urban Education (ICUE) in Montego Bay, Jamaica. In 2016, the second hosting of the conference took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Additionally, in 2018, the third hosting of the conference took place in Nassau, Bahamas. These solution-focused conferences brought together students, teachers, scholars, public sector and business professionals as well as others from around the world to present their research and best practices on various topics pertaining to urban education. With ICUE’s inspiration, this book is a response to the growing need to highlight the multifaceted aspects of urban education particularly focusing on common issues and solutions in urban environments (e.g., family and community engagement, student academic achievement, teacher preparation and professional development, targeted instructional and disciplinary interventions, opportunity gaps, culturally-relevant and sustaining practices, etc.). Additionally, with this book, we seek to better understand the challenges facing urban educators and students and to offer progressive initiatives toward resolutions. This unique compilation of work is organized under four major themes all targeted at critically addressing concerns that may inhibit the success of urban learners and providing solutions that have implications for curriculum design, development, and delivery; teacher preparation and teaching diverse populations; career readiness and employment; and even more nuanced issues related to foster care, undocumented students and mental health, sustainable consumption, childhood marriage, food deserts, and marine life and urban communities.

Unfit to Fight

How Woke Policies Are Destroying Our Military

By: Amber Smith

Our Woke Military Could Lose the Next War Wokeness used to be an annoying distraction in the U.S. military. Now it is a major threat to national security. Faster than most of us thought possible, our military has become a woke, dysfunctional bureaucracy focused not on winning wars but on identity politics, gender ideology, climate change, and other favored causes of the leftist elite. Don’t think that China isn’t watching. Don’t think that Russia, Iran, and North Korea haven’t noticed. But so has Amber Smith, a former U.S. Army combat helicopter pilot and Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense. In her riveting new book, Unfit to Fight, she sounds the alarm that our military and our nation are at grave risk. In Unfit to Fight, you’ll learn: Why the military should not “reflect American society,” but be a select group of lethal professionals How the Pentagon rewards lowered standards for the sake of “diversity” Why failure often leads to promotion—if you have the right friends Why a return to combat merit, battlefield mission, and trust in leadership are essential—or we will lose our next war Elections, as they say, have consequences, and catastrophic damage to national security is among the most important. Amber Smith’s Unfit to Fight needs to be in the hands of everyone who cares about our military and our survival as a nation.

Fat in Four Cultures

A Global Ethnography of Weight

By: Cindi SturtzSreetharan,Alexandra Brewis,Jessica Hardin,Sarah Trainer,Amber Wutich

Traits that signal belonging dictate our daily routines, including how we eat, move, and connect to others. In recent years, "fat" has emerged as a shared anchor in defining who belongs and is valued versus who does not and is not. The stigma surrounding weight transcends many social, cultural, political, and economic divides. The concern over body image shapes not only how we see ourselves, but also how we talk, interact, and fit into our social networks, communities, and broader society. Fat in Four Cultures is a co-authored comparative ethnography that reveals the shared struggles and local distinctions of how people across the globe are coping with a bombardment of anti-fat messages. Highlighting important differences in how people experience "being fat," the cases in this book are based on fieldwork by five anthropologists working together simultaneously in four different sites across the globe: Japan, the United States, Paraguay, and Samoa. Through these cases, Fat in Four Cultures considers what insights can be gained through systematic, cross-cultural comparison. Written in an eye-opening and narrative-driven style, with clearly defined and consistently used key terms, this book effectively explores a series of fundamental questions about the present and future of fat and obesity.
