Representing America

The Citizen and the Professional Legislator in the House of Representatives

By: Rebekah Herrick,Samuel H. Fisher

During the 1990s, many members of the House of Representatives could be characterized as citizen legislators - they either voluntarily limited their term in office or they had no prior political experience. Representing America compares the representational styles of these legislators with the professional legislators, who make a career out of being a legislator, elected at the time.

Cases, Materials, and Problems

By: Michael C. Harper,Samuel Estreicher,Kati Griffith

You will need to purchase a new print book to get access to the full experience including: lifetime access to the online ebook with highlight, annotation, and search capabilities, plus an outline tool and other helpful resources. The Ninth Edition of this widely used casebook maintains the problem-based emphasis of prior editions. Text is taken seriously but always in the full context of the attendant policy issues. The Trump Board’s decisions are addressed, alongside treatment of difficulties that will motivate change in the Biden years. The coverage of current issues complements the casebook’s comprehensive and nuanced treatment of all the important law on a topic that has become central to contemporary debates about income and wealth divisions in the society. This treatment spans from the protection of concerted employee activity to the organizing process to the bargaining and implementation of collective agreements. It covers other important topics including the preemption of state law and interaction with antitrust and immigration law. New to the Ninth Edition: Coverage of the most salient and controversial issues posed by developments at the National Labor Relations Board over the past six years, including: The independent contractor distinction, including the emerging “ABC” test The joint employer debate Defining appropriate bargaining units The effects on protected concerted activity of neutral employer personnel rules and the Supreme Court’s endorsement of class action waivers in arbitration The regulation of bargaining during the term of collective agreements Board deferral to arbitration As part of its contemporary focus, the Ninth Edition highlights past and current proposals to amend the National Labor Relations Act (NRLA), including those in the pending Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act) The new edition’s Statutory Supplement aids discussion by including the PRO Act as passed by the House of Representatives this year and again presents the NLRA with easy to view indications of its evolution, as well as the other major statutes and examples of innovative collective bargaining agreements. Professors and students will benefit from: A book that consistently poses problems for students and gets deeply into factual issues and important points of law. Careful editing of cases that preserves the decisional antecedents for the court’s action is a hallmark of the book.

Marakwet

An Ethnographic Study of Religious and Cultural Identity in Africa

Marakwet

An Ethnographic Study of Religious and Cultural Identity in Africa

By: Samuel K. Elolia

This book attempts to provide an ethnography of the Marakwet and its encounter with colonizers and missionaries. The core of the book concerns the formation of the Marakwet person through the rites of passage. Indeed, cultural education is critical in establishing a socially mature identity. By virtue of repetition, humans connect to the past and create a continuum. Also, through rituals, the world is no longer an opaque mass of objects arbitrarily thrown together, but a living cosmos that can be intelligible and significant. It explains why things exist and to what ends. At the same time, through rituals, new ideas are given new interpretations. The missionary colonizing project unsuccessfully tried to dislodge such traditions. The African tradition is the context from which most Christians come, and to which many still practice to some degree. It is therefore necessary for both Marakwet and Christian tradition to interact. The book highlights the concept of inculturation as a viable resource in helping Christianity engage the culture with minimal disruptions.

Infectious Fear

Politics, Disease, and the Health Effects of Segregation

By: Samuel Roberts

For most of the first half of the twentieth century, tuberculosis ranked among the top three causes of mortality among urban African Americans. Often afflicting an entire family or large segments of a neighborhood, the plague of TB was as mysterious as it

The American Teacher

A History

By: Lawrence R. Samuel

An in-depth look at a profession that is alternately valued and reviled but is consistently a microcosm of society." -Library Journal The American Teacher: A History is, as the title makes clear, a history of teachers in the United States. Supported by hundreds of research studies done over the years as reported in scholarly journals, the book fills a niche in the history of education, sociology, gender studies, and the United States as a whole. K-12 teachers and, to a lesser extent, college/university teachers, are discussed in the work which travels through the past century. Told chronologically and divided into ten decades, The American Teacher sheds light on the important role that teachers have played in this country over the last one hundred years. The subject is parsed through the voices of educators, intellectuals, and journalists who have weighed in on its many different dimensions from the 1920s right up to today. The American teacher is a key site of race, gender, and class, we learn from a survey of its history, revealing some of the tensions embedded in our constructed social divisions. Controversy has always surrounded teachers in the United States, making them a fascinating subject to explore in depth. The “schoolteacher” has long served as a principal player in American culture, making The American Teacher a kind of character study that distinguishes fact from fiction. Rather than a research study itself, the work draws on the most important scholarship that has been completed over the years. The work is a big, sweeping picture of the history of American teachers that is designed to complement more academic books that take a more in-depth analysis of unique topics with original research. And in place of focusing on a particular topic, the book examines the threads that have connected issues such as gender and economic status over time. In short, The American Teacher is a synthetic, narrative-driven study that brings together in one place the essential research in the field. And like any good history, the book shows how mining the stuff of everyday life serves as the richest way to learn more about a group of people at a particular time and in a particular place.
