Confronting Institutionalized Racism in Higher Education

Counternarratives for Racial Justice

By: Dianne Ramdeholl,Jaye Jones

This book chronicles the experiences of faculty at predominantly white higher education institutions (PWI) by centering voices of racialized faculty across North America. Drawing on Critical Race Theory and critical, feminist, and auto-ethnographic approaches, the text analyzes those narratives, situating people’s words in a landscape of institutionalized racism within higher education. In order to support newer under-represented faculty, administrators committed to supporting faculty, and doctoral students interested in a future in higher education, the book offers strategies and implications for institutional reform and anti-racist faculty organizing/survival in academia. Despite claims by university administrations about commitments to diversity, this book demonstrates otherwise, offering counter-narratives from racialized faculty members who share their struggles.

Critical Companion to Native American and First Nations Theatre and Performance

Indigenous Spaces

By: Jaye T. Darby,Courtney Elkin Mohler,Christy Stanlake

This foundational study offers an accessible introduction to Native American and First Nations theatre by drawing on critical Indigenous and dramaturgical frameworks. It is the first major survey book to introduce Native artists, plays, and theatres within their cultural, aesthetic, spiritual, and socio-political contexts. Native American and First Nations theatre weaves the spiritual and aesthetic traditions of Native cultures into diverse, dynamic, contemporary plays that enact Indigenous human rights through the plays' visionary styles of dramaturgy and performance. The book begins by introducing readers to historical and cultural contexts helpful for reading Native American and First Nations drama, followed by an overview of Indigenous plays and theatre artists from across the century. Finally, it points forward to the ways in which Native American and First Nations theatre artists are continuing to create works that advocate for human rights through transformative Native performance practices. Addressing the complexities of this dynamic field, this volume offers critical grounding in the historical development of Indigenous theatre in North America, while analysing key Native plays and performance traditions from the mainland United States and Canada. In surveying Native theatre from the late 19th century until today, the authors explore the cultural, aesthetic, and spiritual concerns, as well as the political and revitalization efforts of Indigenous peoples. This book frames the major themes of the genre and identifies how such themes are present in the dramaturgy, rehearsal practices, and performance histories of key Native scripts.

...But You Can't Enslave My Thinking...

A Novel of African American Intellect

By: Jaye Swift

I am an African American male who has had to deal with the racism and prejudice in this country, so the history that we were deprived of as children is where my expertise lies. There are hundreds of facts and events that are very important to the enrichment and growth of the black nation. We've come very far without knowing our history; imagine, if we were grounded in our roots, how far we'd be. You can handcuff my wrists, you can shackle my feet, you can bind me in your chains, you can throw me in your deepest darkest dungeon ... but you can't enslave my thinking, for it is free like the wind. Jaye Swift has sold over 40,000 CDs on the streets by himself. His music is the epitome of hip hop, and his name has been recognized by some of the greatest in music. His credibility in music is flawless, and he has refused to record with mindless artists who have no substance or integrity. It is only to his credit that But You Can't Enslave My Thinking has been written with the same impeccable consistency and wisdom. It's designed to enlighten the minds of non-African Americans and enrich the lives of all African Americans.

Safe From Harm

By: Stephanie Jaye Evans

In a new mystery featuring Texas minister Walker “Bear” Wells, a teen tragedy hits too close to home… The ominous text message Bear Wells received from his teenage daughter Jo simply said: “Come home.” The Texas minister never imagined he’d rush back to find her cradling the dead body of her estranged friend Phoebe. While the death rocks Sugar Land, the apparent suicide seems like an open-and-shut case. But nothing is settled in the Wells household, especially for Jo. The deeper she digs into Phoebe’s life, the more she realizes nobody knew her at all. Bear found it hard enough dealing with Phoebe’s skimpy Goth outfits, painful-looking piercings, and the outrageous scandals she brought to his idyllic Sugar Land congregation, but now it’s his daughter who’s acting out. Jo knows Phoebe caused major problems between her picture-perfect father and stepmom, but she has no idea what’s at stake or whose lives are in jeopardy. Bear’s painfully aware that his last private investigation resulted in a bullet wound, so when Jo sneaks out alone to confront her primary suspect, he’s not only praying that he’ll find her in time—he’s asking forgiveness for what he may have to do to save her.

There was so much catching up to do! She auditioned and made a place in the brand-new performing arts magnet high school to begin serious training. Jaye met her dancing soul mate Leon and together found some local notoriety producing and directing a dance company since turning eighteen.

Thoughts and Memories

By: Mort Jaye

This tome was written in a free flow way so that I can write my thoughts and memories as I think of them. Some of my feelings may hurt some people and some of my thoughts and memories might make you smile. In no way did I write with either intention, I wrote this to express my feelings and in no way was it meant to hurt anyone. The words I have written are the truth as I see it and feel it. This book is meant to chronicle my adult life with family, friends and business. In no way do I find that I am anyone special but with all my thoughts I would like to pass on the structure of who I am to all those close to me. I can only hope that my grandchildren and all future generations to come will know who I was and how I may have contributed in helping them in molding their lives. This book is dedicated to all those who have helped me become who I am. With a special thanks to my wonderful wife Cheryl who has not only stood by my side and encouraged me to continue to write but has made me happier than I have ever been for the the past eight years. Cheryl was the only one who was able to lift me up from the worst despair imaginable.
