Black Denim Lit #8: Return to Waypoint 5

[December, 2014]

By: Josh Roseman,Madeline Popelka,Clarissa N G,Cheryl McAlister,Zack Miller,Lisa Shapter,Ken Poyner,Joe Christopher,Ben Spies,Julie Reeser

The December, 2014 issue edited by Christopher T Garry features 160 pages of never before seen stories from ten new authors, creating narratives that are variously dark, cynical, inspiring, violent and longing. Black Denim Lit is a monthly journal of fiction available on the web and eReaders. “Cataclysm” by Madeline Popelka (The death of a cat brings about the end of the world); “The Things We Hide” by Clarissa N G (Yuen deals with a haunting while mourning); “Return To Waypoint 5” by Josh Roseman (Kage seeks dangerous answers about family and connections at an old space port); “Bit by Bit” by Cheryl McAlister (An unlikely pairing highlights the need for connection); “The Patchwork Girl” by Zack Miller (A post-pandemic world doesn't change needs of a girl missing a family); “Searching” by Lisa Shapter (Three men decide the fate of a lost corpsman); “Establishment” by Ken Poyner (The local watering hole isn't just for the bone and protein crowd); “The Degenerate” by Joe Christopher (A young working man finds an unlikely reason to change direction); “Maybe This’ll Be the One That Finally Gets Me” by Ben Spies (A veteran recounts his experience in the gulf coast disaster); “Gathering Gold” by Julie Reeser (Mae deals with loss of her mother and transition to a new life) This draws from fantasy, crime, science fiction and straight drama for our selections. Such genre variety is brought together under the common thread of rich characterization. In all the stories this month, these are human beings at odds. Whether facing a gun, an alien, the choice to live or to die or the vastness of space, each of these players respond from a very deep place of truth. And regardless of which genre can be applied, the authors have surprises in store.

Magnolia

By: Victoria A. James,Cheryl L. Baisden

It was the sweet-smelling, flowering magnolia tree dominating the grounds near a rural railroad stop that transformed the South Jersey settlement of Greenland into the tiny borough of Magnolia. But while it may have been named for a tree, it was community spirit that inspired Magnolias official slogan, One Square Mile of Friendliness. Magnolia celebrates that spirit through an impressive collection of rare photographs. These include Dr. Leslie Lyon, who accepted chickens as payment for house calls during the Depression, the state police substation that protected the region from organized crime during Prohibition, and the home of Aunt Nell, who was always there to lend a hand to those in need. Also included are images of the boroughs early citizens; schools; churches; police, fire, and ambulance squads; businesses; and community activities.

Identity Work in the Classroom

Successful Learning in Urban Schools

By: Cheryl Jones-Walker

This book provides classroom examples to demonstrate how identity-making is integral to the teaching and learning process. Responding to school reform efforts that focus on top-down reform measures, this book proposes “identity work” as an alternative approach. The author argues that efforts to improve urban schools should recognize the importance of relational change that focuses on deepening personal interactions between students and teachers, teachers and other teachers, and schools and parents. Based on an in-depth study of two classrooms in urban K–8 schools, the book illuminates the importance of allowing teachers the freedom to make pedagogical adjustments based on their knowledge of students’ needs, backgrounds, and interests. This volume reframes our understanding of urban schools and raises questions about the goals of local and federal reform and what is at stake for educational systems. Book Features: Provides examples of identity work and its potential for creating individual, institutional, and large scale systemic improvement. Identifies how skilled educators make pedagogical decisions that increase student engagement and learning outcomes. Examines the challenges of working within a context of increasing mandates and rigid accountability structures. Advocates for design improvement strategies that rely on the capacities of students, teachers, and community members. Shows how qualitative work that elucidates the experience of students and teachers can inform education policy. “Identity Work in the Classroom is an extraordinary and compelling book. It is essential reading for teacher-educators, teachers, and community organizers, and it represents the best of contemporary critical school ethnography.” —From the Foreword by Theresa Perry, Professor of Africana Studies and Education, Simmons College “Grounded in an urban ecological lens of learning, becoming, and knowing, this book demonstrates how educators navigate and negotiate educational policy and reform through discourse and identity construction. Identity Work in the Classroom represents a powerful exemplar of the kind of discursive practices essential to advance urban education scholarship and actions during challenging and changing times. If you are concerned about policies that shape urban education and the children they impact, read this book.” —H. Richard Milner IV, Helen Faison Professor of Urban Education, University of Pittsburgh “Identity Work in the Classroom is an indispensable intervention into the research literature on culture, identity, and learning. Using rigorous methodology and sophisticated theoretical frameworks, Jones-Walker spotlights the dynamic interplay between identity work and educational processes. This book offers concrete examples of the ways that schools serve as complex yet fecund sites of identity work, as well as how our teaching and learning processes can be informed by careful and reflective consideration of identity. It is essential reading for teachers, educational leaders, and policymakers alike.” —Marc Lamont Hill, Distinguished Professor of African American Studies, Morehouse College

Knowledge Communities in Teacher Education

Sustaining Collaborative Work

By: Cheryl J. Craig,Gayle A. Curtis,Michaelann Kelley,P. Tim Martindell,M. Michael Pérez

This book traces the origins and activities of the longest-standing collaborative teacher group in education, the Portfolio Group. Each chapter documents, historically and conceptually, the main intellectual moments in the evolution of the idea of knowledge communities. Authors illuminate the expansive work, research, and the leading/learning influence that the Portfolio Group has had in the local education community as well as on the international education landscape. In doing so, they illustrate the journey of a school-based, cross-institutional knowledge community and provide the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel for so many novice and newly formed groups seeking sustainability. The book demonstrates through the shared experiences of five teachers/teacher educators the ways in which varied collaborations aimed at professional development lead to teacher growth in practice, leadership, and career.

Sacred Space, Beloved City

Iris Murdoch’s London

By: Cheryl Bove,Anne Rowe

Sacred Space, Beloved City: Iris Murdoch’s London is a celebration of Iris Murdoch’s love for London and establishes her amongst distinguished “London writers” such as William Blake, Charles Dickens and Virginia Woolf. Individual chapters focus on the City, London art galleries and museums, the Post Office Tower (now the BT Tower), the statue of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, Whitehall and the River Thames. Each chapter identifies intricate links between the environment and human consciousness and is accompanied by a corresponding walk that links Murdoch’s plots to landmarks and routes. All essays and walks are illustrated with sketches by Paul Laseau. These drawings not only illustrate locations for identification but also conjure their atmosphere so that readers engage with how Murdoch’s characters experience their surroundings. The final London Glossary is an annotated index of the London place names mentioned in all of Murdoch’s 26 novels.
