Vicente Ximenes, LBJ's Great Society, and Mexican American Civil Rights Rhetoric

By: Michelle Hall Kells

Beginning as a grassroots organizer in the 1950s, Vicente Ximenes was at the forefront of the movement for Mexican American civil rights through three presidential administrations, joining Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society and later emerging as one of the highest-ranking appointees in Johnson’s administration. Ximenes succeeded largely because he could adapt his rhetoric for different audiences in his speeches and writings. Michelle Hall Kells elucidates Ximenes’s achievements through a rhetorical history of his career as an activist. Kells draws on Ximenes’s extensive archive of speeches, reports, articles, and oral interviews to present the activist’s rhetorical history. After a discussion of Ximenes’s early life, the author focuses on his career as an activist, examining Ximenes’s leadership in several key civil rights events, including the historic 1967 White House Cabinet Committee Hearings on Mexican American Affairs. Also highlighted is his role in advancing Mexican Americans and Latinos from social marginalization to greater representation in national politics. This book shows us a remarkable man who dedicated the majority of his life to public service, using rhetoric to mobilize activists for change to secure civil rights advances for his fellow Mexican Americans.

Mothers who Kill Their Children

Understanding the Acts of Moms from Susan Smith to the "Prom Mom"

By: Cheryl L. Meyer,Michelle Oberman,Kelly White

Based on an extensive review of the newspaper, medical and social science literature, the authors propose a comprehensive typology of maternal filicide, answering the question - Why? What would drive a mother to kill her own child?. These mothers are not a homogenous group. In obvious ways, intervention strategies should differ for a teenager who denies her pregnancy and then kills her newborn and a mother who kills her two toddlers out of mental illness or to further a relationship. This typology will help to distinguish the different cases that commonly occur and the patterns they follow in order to make more effective prevention and treatment planning possible.

Comparative Institutional Change in Twentieth-Century Mexico

By: Michelle L. Dion

Workers and Welfare

Comparative Institutional Change in Twentieth-Century Mexico

By: Michelle L. Dion

After the revolutionary period of 1910-1920, Mexico developed a number of social protection programs to support workers in public and private sectors and to establish safeguards for the poor and the aged. These included pensions, healthcare, and worker's compensation. The new welfare programs were the product of a complex interrelationship of corporate, labor, and political actors. In this unique dynamic, cross-class coalitions maintained both an authoritarian regime and social protection system for some seventy years, despite the ebb and flow of political and economic tides. By focusing on organized labor, and its powerful role in effecting institutional change, Workers and Welfare chronicles the development and evolution of Mexican social insurance institutions in the twentieth century. Beginning with the antecedents of social insurance and the adoption of pension programs for central government workers in 1925, Dion's analysis shows how the labor movement, up until the 1990s, was instrumental in expanding welfare programs, but has since become largely ineffective. Despite stepped-up efforts, labor has seen the retrenchment of many benefits. Meanwhile, Dion cites the debt crisis, neoliberal reform, and resulting changes in the labor market as all contributing to a rise in poverty. Today, Mexican welfare programs emphasize poverty alleviation, in a marked shift away from social insurance benefits for the working class.

Revolution within the Revolution

Women and Gender Politics in Cuba, 1952-1962

By: Michelle Chase

A handful of celebrated photographs show armed female Cuban insurgents alongside their companeros in Cuba's remote mountains during the revolutionary struggle. However, the story of women's part in the struggle's success has only now received comprehensive consideration in Michelle Chase's history of women and gender politics in revolutionary Cuba. Restoring to history women's participation in the all-important urban insurrection, and resisting Fidel Castro's triumphant claim that women's emancipation was handed to them as a "revolution within the revolution," Chase's work demonstrates that women's activism and leadership was critical at every stage of the revolutionary process. Tracing changes in political attitudes alongside evolving gender ideologies in the years leading up to the revolution, Chase describes how insurrectionists mobilized familiar gendered notions, such as masculine honor and maternal sacrifice, in ways that strengthened the coalition against Fulgencio Batista. But, after 1959, the mobilization of women and the societal transformations that brought more women and young people into the political process opened the revolutionary platform to increasingly urgent demands for women's rights. In many cases, Chase shows, the revolutionary government was simply formalizing popular initiatives already in motion on the ground thanks to women with a more radical vision of their rights.

By: Michelle Mueller

New Religions and the Mediation of Non-Monogamy

Polyamory, Polygamy, and Reality Television

By: Michelle Mueller

New Religions and the Mediation of Non-Monogamy examines the relationship between alternative American religions and the media representation of non-monogamies on reality-TV shows like Sister Wives, Seeking Sister Wife, and Polyamory: Married & Dating. The book is the first full-length study informed by fieldwork with Mormon polygamists and fieldwork with LGBTQ Neo-Pagan/Neo-Tantric polyamorists. The book tracks community members’ responses to the new media about them, their engagement with television and other media, and the likeness of representations to actual populations through fieldwork and interviews. The book highlights differences in socioeconomic privileges that shape Mormon polygamists’ lives and LGBTQ polyamorists’ lives, respectively. The polyamory movement receives support from liberal media. As reality TV has shifted the image of Mormon polygamy to one of liberal American middle-class culture, Mormon polygamists have gained in public favor. The media landscape of non-monogamy is mediated by, in addition to these alternative religious populations, the norms and practices of the reality-TV industry and by sociocultural and economic realities, including race and class. This book adds to the fields of media studies, critical race and gender studies, new religious movements, and queer studies.

Fractional Freedoms

Slavery, Intimacy, and Legal Mobilization in Colonial Lima, 1600–1700

By: Michelle A. McKinley

Fractional Freedoms explores how thousands of slaves in colonial Peru were able to secure their freedom, keep their families intact, negotiate lower self-purchase prices, and arrange transfers of ownership by filing legal claims. Through extensive archival research, Michelle A. McKinley excavates the experiences of enslaved women whose historical footprint is barely visible in the official record. She complicates the way we think about life under slavery and demonstrates the degree to which slaves were able to exercise their own agency, despite being ensnared by the Atlantic slave trade. Enslaved women are situated as legal actors who had overlapping identities as wives, mothers, mistresses, wet-nurses and day-wage domestics, and these experiences within the urban working environment are shown to condition their identities as slaves. Although the outcomes of their lawsuits varied, Fractional Freedoms demonstrates how enslaved women used channels of affection and intimacy to press for liberty and prevent the generational transmission of enslavement to their children.

Barons of the Beltway

Inside the Princely World of Our Washington Elite--and How to Overthrow Them

By: Michelle Fields

From reporter and Fox News star Michelle Fields, a revelation of how the corruption and waste in American politics begins with our elected politicians, and how to take the country back from those that extort its values for personal gain Our Founding Fathers rejected the notion of royalty and fought against extravagance, pomp, and circumstance. But today in Washington, members of the United States government enjoy lifestyle perks that would make Marie Antoinette envious. Our public servants are chauffeured to their Capitol Hill offices by town cars even when they live only two blocks away. They enjoy their own taxpayer-subsidized Senate Hair Care Services, vacation with their families in exotic locations for free, and exempt themselves and their friends from the laws that they create. In Barons of the Beltway, Fox News contributor Michelle Fields exposes the hidden perks, the freebies, and the ego stroking that define life for a political class that is out of touch and out to lunch. Put under the spotlight are figures such as Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, and Vice President Joe Biden, who continue to abuse their power, build their personal fortunes, and climb up the Washington ladder. And, while our Founding Fathers started a revolution to break away from a monarchy, it's clear that America is beginning to have one of its own. Barons of the Beltway reveals how to overthrow our political class in order to return to the principles the Founding Fathers originally envisioned for America—a country of greater opportunity that we can pass onto the next generations.

Her Body, Our Laws

On the Front Lines of the Abortion War, from El Salvador to Oklahoma

By: Michelle Oberman

With stories from the front lines, a legal scholar journeys through distinct legal climates to understand precisely why and how the war over abortion is being fought. Drawing on her years of research in El Salvador—one of the few countries to ban abortion without exception—legal scholar Michelle Oberman explores what happens when abortion is a crime. Oberman reveals the practical challenges raised by a thriving black market in abortion drugs, as well as the legal challenges to law enforcement. She describes a system in which doctors and lawyers collaborate in order to identify and prosecute those suspected of abortion-related crimes, and the troubling results of such collaboration: mistaken diagnoses, selective enforcement, and wrongful convictions. Equipped with this understanding, Oberman turns her attention to the United States, where the battle over abortion is fought almost exclusively in legislatures and courtrooms. Beginning in Oklahoma, one of the most pro-life states, and through interviews with current and former legislators and activists, she shows how Americans voice their moral opposition to abortion by supporting laws that would restrict it. In this America, the law is more a symbol than a plan. Oberman challenges this vision of the law by considering the practical impact of legislation and policies governing both motherhood and abortion. Using stories gathered from crisis pregnancy centers and abortion clinics, she unmasks the ways in which the law already shapes women’s responses to unplanned pregnancy, generating incentives or penalties, nudging pregnant women in one direction or another. In an era in which every election cycle features a pitched battle over abortion’s legality, Oberman uses her research to expose the limited ways in which making abortion a crime matters. Her insight into the practical consequences that will ensue if states are permitted to criminalize abortion calls attention to the naïve and misguided nature of contemporary struggles over abortion’s legality. A fresh look at the battle over abortion law, Her Body, Our Laws is an invitation to those on all sides of the issue to move beyond the incomplete discourse about legality by understanding how the law actually matters.

Thinking Thoughts and Feeling Feelings

Classroom Adventure

By: Ryan Hendrix,Kari Zweber Palmer,Nancy Tarshis,Michelle Garcia Winner

NOTE: This storybook includes a read-aloud option which is accessible on Google and ISO devices. Meet Evan, Ellie, Molly, and Jesse as they learn about thoughts and feelings in storybook 1 of the We Thinkers! Vol. 1 social emotional learning curriculum for ages 4-7. As they play in their classroom, they learn where thoughts and feelings come from, how their thoughts, feelings, and bodies are connected to each other, and how their bodies show their feelings. As they become aware of their own thoughts and feelings, they see their classmates have them too, and discover they can share the same thought to play together! These pivotal social concepts set the stage for learning the fundamental concepts taught in storybooks 2-10 and align with the corresponding teaching units within the related curriculum. Best practice: teach these concepts in order, starting with storybook 1 of 10 while using the corresponding curriculum.

Social Thinking and Me!

Kids’ Guidebook to Social Emotional Learning

By: Michelle Garcia Winner,Linda Murphy

In the first book in Social Thinking and Me, Kids' Guidebook for Social Emotional Learning, kids are introduced to Social Thinking Vocabulary and concepts that help them figure out what’s “expected” in different social contexts. Additionally, strategies are taught to give kids the tools needed to solve social problems. Concepts are explained using age-relevant social situations, cool illustrated pictures, and lots of group discussions that can aid each student on their journey to becoming a better social thinker. At the end of each chapter in book 1, expand and personalize the lesson by using the related thinksheets found in book 2! The Kids’ Guidebook is not meant to be read all at once, as many of the concepts/units take time to learn and work through. And even though it’s written in language that’s kid-friendly, the book is meant to be read and worked through first with an adult. Once the initial review has been completed and children are familiar with the concepts introduced in each chapter, they can revisit chapters or read them on their own. The language explored in each chapter can then be used in the classroom, home and community to help kids self-monitor and self-regulate their social selves based on what they are figuring out about the situation and the people around them! Chapters cover essential Social Thinking concepts including: · What is Social Thinking · Social Thinking = Flexible Thinking · We All Have Feelings · Thinking With Your Eyes · Thinking About the Hidden Rules and Expected Behavior · Keeping my Body, Eyes, Ears, and Brain in the Group · Thinking of Others vs Just Me · How Big is My Problem? · Thinking About My Reaction Size · Doing an Activity or Just Hanging Out

Body in the Group

Ocean Adventure

By: Ryan Hendrix,Kari Zweber Palmer,Nancy Tarshis,Michelle Garcia Winner

NOTE: This storybook includes a read-aloud option that is accessible on Google and IOS devices. Jesse, Evan, Ellie, and Molly explore the ocean bottom, learn what it means to have your body in the group, and discover why it’s a key element of successful social interactions. In storybook 4 of the We Thinkers! Vol. 1 social emotional learning curriculum for ages 4-7, the four friends observe how some sea creatures like fish, sea turtles, and jellyfish swim in groups—and others, like a big toothy shark—are not in a group. They discover how to find just the right distance between each other to feel comfortable and happy, and when they each keep their bodies in the group, it sends a silent message that they’re interested in the others and are following the same group plan. Yikes! Finding a big shark in a dark cave is definitely not part of the group plan! Continue building on this important social concept with the fundamental concepts taught in storybooks 5-10, which align with the corresponding teaching units within the related curriculum. Best practice: teach these concepts in order, starting with storybook 1 of 10 while using the corresponding curriculum.

Socially Curious and Curiously Social

A Social Thinking Guidebook for Bright Teens and Young Adults

By: Michelle Garcia Winner,Pamela Crooke

New edition! All-new language, content, and book cover design featuring artwork by a neurodiverse artist! A multiple award winner, this detailed guidebook was developed with the input of neurodivergent teens and young adults as a way to help sail the stormy seas of dating, texting, lies, and everyday relationships. Targeted strategies encourage readers to better navigate their social worlds, develop stronger social competencies, and manage social anxiety. This book gets rave reviews from adolescent and young adult readers! Parents, educators, and therapists also appreciate how it better equips them to explain how the social world works using real-life teen situations. What’s new in this 3rd edition All-new cover design featuring artwork by a neurodiverse artist Refreshed and modernized book design Updated language and terms Revised Chapter 12: Hanging Out, Hooking Up—What’s Social Thinking Got to Do with It? Content Highlights How does social anxiety mess with a healthy head? Visual strategies and related explanation to help kids explore anxiety management after they have increased their social competencies. Easy to use but based on cognitive behavioral practice. Visual tool to talk about the Spirals of Social Success and Social Failure. Friendship is so complicated! Use the visual Friendship Pyramid—ranging from casual greeting to bonded and close friends—to teach about this tricky social phenomenon. Anime-style illustrations to teach the social emotional chain reaction in a visual and engaging way. Why this award winner is a "breakthrough" This guidebook is written in the language of teens, as a “get real” discussion about what really goes on inside the minds of people when we share space together. Adults also use the book while working with students to learn about, discuss, and unravel the social emotional world of teens and young adults. Many practical strategies help the reader figure out the roles of making impressions, thoughts and feelings, friendships, and how their own actions and emotions play a role in the give and take of the social world. Who doesn’t think they could improve in these skills and improve their casual to more complex relationships? From discussing the “ins and outs” of what it means to be a “Social Thinker,” to figuring out texting, dating, the many different levels of friendship, and the many and varied emotions we experience as we relate to others, the authors describe the real world of being with other people. This includes knowing how to use the “social flip” (or social fake) to show interest or stay connected, even when bored! The authors developed this book with the input and feedback from neurodivergent teens and young adults who shared their stories and gave critical feedback. Their input has helped thousands of others learn about the social world in a unique and motivating way. Parents, teachers, counselors, other caregivers, and even siblings may also find this book compelling, as it provides some “aha!” moments that encourage a deeper discussion about the social world. While we all work on improving our communication skills, few of us know how to talk about the social mind and how to cope in our very social world of the classroom, hanging out, holding a job, chatting on the Internet, texting, and whatever the future holds.
