Book excerpt: This story takes place in a large western city Police Department. It tells of the trails and tribulations of the Psychologist who works for that Department. During the day she counsels officers that have emotional problems at her office in Police Headquarters. She also attends Trial Board hearings on officers she has counseled. She will give her recommendations on their punishment when asked. These problems can range from Anger/Control Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Parenting, Substance Abuse, Self Esteem Alcohol Issues etc. After 10 years on the Department she thought that she would like to open a private Office and operate it in the evenings. She would have counseling sessions with civilian clients at her private office. Shortly after she opened this office she started having problems there. These problems ranged from flat tires, Breaking and Entering and shootings. There is a person out to harass and kill or do great bodily harm to her. The Police Department has privately investigated her clients to see who the culprit was. This was to no avail. There was nothing in their investigation to point to any specific person.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This personal history chronicles the triumph and loss of a 1960s initiative to recruit minority students to Columbia University’s School of Architecture. At the intersection of US educational, architectural, and urban history, When Ivory Towers Were Black tells the story of how an unparalleled cohort of ethnic minority students overcame institutional roadblocks to earn degrees in architecture from Columbia University. Its narrative begins with a protest movement to end Columbia’s authoritarian practices, and ends with an unsettling return to the status quo. Sharon Egretta Sutton, one of the students in question, follows two university units that led the movement toward emancipatory education: the Division of Planning and the Urban Center. She illustrates both units’ struggle to open the ivory tower to ethnic minority students and to involve those students in improving Harlem’s slum conditions. Along with Sutton’s personal perspective, the story is narrated through the oral histories of twenty-four fellow students who received an Ivy League education only to find the doors closing on their careers due to Nixon-era urban disinvestment policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of black women's history gained recognition as a legitimate field of study only late in the twentieth century. Collecting stories that are both deeply personal and powerfully political, Telling Histories compiles seventeen personal narratives by leading black women historians at various stages in their careers. Their essays illuminate how--first as graduate students and then as professional historians--they entered and navigated the realm of higher education, a world concerned with and dominated by whites and men. In distinct voices and from different vantage points, the personal histories revealed here also tell the story of the struggle to establish a new scholarly field. Black women, alleged by affirmative-action supporters and opponents to be "twofers," recount how they have confronted racism, sexism, and homophobia on college campuses. They explore how the personal and the political intersect in historical research and writing and in the academy. Organized by the years the contributors earned their Ph.D.'s, these essays follow the black women who entered the field of history during and after the civil rights and black power movements, endured the turbulent 1970s, and opened up the field of black women's history in the 1980s. By comparing the experiences of older and younger generations, this collection makes visible the benefits and drawbacks of the institutionalization of African American and African American women's history. Telling Histories captures the voices of these pioneers, intimately and publicly.
