Battling the Plantation Mentality

Memphis and the Black Freedom Struggle

By: Laurie B. Green

African American freedom is often defined in terms of emancipation and civil rights legislation, but it did not arrive with the stroke of a pen or the rap of a gavel. No single event makes this more plain, Laurie Green argues, than the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers' strike, which culminated in the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Exploring the notion of "freedom" in postwar Memphis, Green demonstrates that the civil rights movement was battling an ongoing "plantation mentality" based on race, gender, and power that permeated southern culture long before--and even after--the groundbreaking legislation of the mid-1960s. With its slogan "I AM a Man!" the Memphis strike provides a clarion example of how the movement fought for a black freedom that consisted of not only constitutional rights but also social and human rights. As the sharecropping system crumbled and migrants streamed to the cities during and after World War II, the struggle for black freedom touched all aspects of daily life. Green traces the movement to new locations, from protests against police brutality and racist movie censorship policies to innovations in mass culture, such as black-oriented radio stations. Incorporating scores of oral histories, Green demonstrates that the interplay of politics, culture, and consciousness is critical to truly understanding freedom and the black struggle for it.

Genetic Privacy

A Challenge to Medico-Legal Norms

By: Graeme Laurie

The phenomenon of the New Genetics raises complex social problems, particularly those of privacy. This book offers ethical and legal perspectives on the questions of a right to know and not to know genetic information from the standpoint of individuals, their relatives, employers, insurers and the state. Graeme Laurie provides a unique definition of privacy, including a concept of property rights in the person, and argues for stronger legal protection of privacy in the shadow of developments in human genetics. He challenges the role and the limits of established principles in medical law and ethics, including respect for patient autonomy and confidentiality. This book will interest lawyers, philosophers and doctors concerned both with genetic information and issues of privacy; it will also interest genetic counsellors, researchers, and policy makers worldwide for its practical stance on dilemmas in modern genetic medicine.

Remembering Kelley

By: Donna M. Kshir,Laurie Smith-Tornerup,Lee Roberts,Tosha Packer

Sometimes God brings special people into our lives. We may never understand what, why, when or how, but it is meant to be. He and His will knows just how much this person will help, encourage and inspire one's life. Our time with Kelley may have been short, but she has touched each and every one of us with her heart, kindness, laughter and smile.These raw and unedited poems, letters and short stories were written by family, friends, loved ones and colleagues of Kelley Jo Snyder. Kelley's loss devastated the very heart of this small country town nestled in the endless mountains of north-central Pennsylvania.We encourage you to share in our memories. You may laugh, cry or even smile, but you will know just why Kelley meant so much to us.Contributors: Donna Kshir, Laurie Smith-Tornerup, Lee Roberts and Tosha Packer.

N 2 Deep

By: Laurie Lazzaro Knowlton,Terry K. Brown

Meet Amber. Amber Thomas is a perfectionist. But she finds herself spread too thin when she tries out for the soccer team and becomes the school Webmaster at the same time. Pleasing people, succeeding, and accomplishing projects aren't firm bases for a healthy self-image or for a solid relationship with God. And utlimately Amber realizes that she must accept herself, and her limitations, because God has proven His love for her no matter what she does or doesn't do. It's all about grace.
