Life After Katrina

A Family's Story of Trial and Triumph

By: Barbie Root

Katrina, Rita, and Wilma are names that will always be remembered as violent storms that changed the lives of many people and the face of the lands they called home. "Life After Katrina" chronicles in real time the communication struggles of one family between Minnesota and hurricane-ravaged Mississippi. The only way they can contact one another is through the Guestbook feature on author Barbie Root's personal Web page. In the immediate aftermath of the storm, Barbie's family members' encouraging messages and constant communication are her only connections to a world beyond suffering and despair. After the initial shock and storm-induced panic wear off, the message board continues to connect Barbie and her family through many more ups and downs, happiness, and challenges. Readers across the nation, both affected and unaffected by natural disasters, will identify with Barbie's story through the common threads of love, laughter, and family. The Root family proves that even in the midst of anguish and uncertainty, sickness and death, there is still optimism, hope, and determination in "Life After Katrina.

The essays reflect a variety of inspiring and exciting thought from Patricia King’s exhortation to “go for it” to Doug Alexander’s in-depth look at Psalm 45. You are encouraged and will be motivated to think and act beyond your normal routine and traditions—stretching yourself for the sake of bettering your world for His glory.

Roadmap to Hell

Sex, Drugs and Guns on the Mafia Coast

By: Barbie Latza Nadeau

From sex slaves to drug mules, The Daily Beast's Rome Bureau Chief uncovers a terrifying and intricate web of criminal activity right on Europe’s doorstep. Chasing the money from kidnapped Nigerian hair braiders to ISIS gunrunners, this is the story of modern slavery in Europe and how the plight of those most in need is being wilfully disregarded. Caught between Camorra arms dealers and Nigerian drug gangs along Italy’s attractive coast, each year thousands of refugees and migrants are lured into their murky underworld. In this powerful exposé, investigative journalist Barbie Latza Nadeau follows the weapons trail, meets the sex-trafficked women trapped by black magic, the nuns who try to save them and the Italian police who turn a blind eye as the most urgent issues facing Europe play out in broad daylight.

The Making of Sacagawea

A Euro-American Legend

By: Donna J. Kessler,Donna Barbie Kessler

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Making of Sacagawea

A Euro-American Legend

By: Donna J. Kessler,Donna Barbie Kessler

Kessler supplies both the biography of a legend and an explanation of why that legend has endured. Sacagawea is one of the most renowned figures of the American West. A member of the Shoshone tribe, she was captured by the Hidatsas as a child and eventually became one of the wives of a French fur trader, Toussaint Charbonneau. In 1805 Charbonneau joined Lewis and Clark as the expedition's interpreter. Sacagawea was the only woman to participate in this important mission, and some claim that she served as a guide when the expedition reached the upper Missouri River and the mountainous region. Although much has been written about the historical importance of Sacagawea in connection with the expedition, no one has explored why her story has endured so successfully in Euro-American culture. In an examination of representative texts (including histories, works of fiction, plays, films, and the visual arts) from 1805 to the present, Kessler charts the evolution and transformation of the legend over two centuries and demonstrates that Sacagawea has persisted as a Euro-American legend because her story exemplified critical elements of America's foundation myths-especially the concept of manifest destiny. Kessler also shows how the Sacagawea legend was flexible within its mythic framework and was used to address cultural issues specific to different time periods, including suffrage for women, taboos against miscegenation, and modern feminism.

Bedsores and Butterflies

Bedsores and Butterflies

By: Barbie Smith

I'm done peddling a Product I don't believe in anymore." Those were my words in 2010, after three dizzying years as a hospice chaplain. The suffering and pain that I encountered shattered all of my Christian clichés and religious ideologies. It also shattered the walls of grief and pain I had erected in my own life, revealing a hidden life lived in abuse and victimization. Everything was shattered. Turns out, shattered was the place of holiness. It was in the shards that remained that I found Faith. Rising like a Phoenix from the ashes, the purpose behind the pain gave every one of those stories not just meaning, but beauty and power. Their stories, my stories, His Story. I share them with you here, that you may trade your ashes for beauty, and find the butterflies amongst the bedsores. Now, I believe it's time for me to fly!

Covering the Body

The Kennedy Assassination, the Media, and the Shaping of Collective Memory

By: Barbie Zelizer

Covering the Body (the title refers to the charge given journalists to follow a president) is a powerful reassessment of the media's role in shaping our collective memory of the assassination--at the same time as it used the assassination coverage to legitimize its own role as official interpreter of American reality. Of the more than fifty reporters covering Kennedy in Dallas, no one actually saw the assassination. And faced with a monumentally important story that was continuously breaking, most journalists had no time to verify leads or substantiate reports. Rather, they took discrete moments of their stories and turned them into one coherent narrative, blurring what was and was not "professional" about their coverage.

The Journalism Manifesto

By: Barbie Zelizer,Pablo J. Boczkowski,C. W. Anderson

Drawing on the collaborative expertise of three senior scholars, The Journalism Manifesto makes a powerful case for why journalism has become outdated and why it is in need of a long-overdue transformation. Focusing on the relevance of elites, norms and audiences, Zelizer, Boczkowski and Anderson reveal how these previously integral components of journalism have become outdated: Elites, the sources from which journalists draw much of their information and around whom they orient their coverage, have become dysfunctional; The relevance of norms, the cues by which journalists do newswork, has eroded so fundamentally that journalists are repeatedly entrenching themselves as negligible and out of sync; and because audiences have shattered beyond recognition, the correspondence between what journalists think of as news and what audiences care about can no longer be assumed. This authoritative manifesto argues that journalism has become decoupled from the dynamics of everyday life in contemporary society and outlines pathways for fixing this essential institution of democracy. It is a must-read for students, scholars and activists in the fields of journalism, media, policy, and political communication.
