Book excerpt: BLACKANESE BOY, set primarily in San Francisco in the 1970s and early 1980s, follows the trials and tribulations, the ups and downs, of Rafael Halifax, as he negotiates the complex dance of being mixed-race in a race conscious society. A coming of age novel, BLACKANESE BOY explores the issues and complexities, the pain and joy, of being both black and Japanese-American, for one American boy.An only child, Rafael is raised by his Japanese American mother, who works multiple jobs to make ends meet. The black father, a painter and bohemian character, is an infrequent yet powerful presence in the boy's life. It is between the forces of these two, Asian mother and black father, and their respective cultures, all the while grounded in American soil, that Rafael tries to cope with and understand the complexity of his mixed-identity.

Book excerpt: Beatriz, Akacia, CeCe, Shadow, Kendra, Savannah, Misseyordinary names given to not so ordinary people. I mean, theyve got certain abilities normal humans wouldnt have and they live (quite) ordinary lives in their warehouse somewhere in San Francisco. That is until one of them very foolishly gets arrested by this police officer called Mayvis. I swearall hell breaks loose after that. The other girls have to rescue her, the government chases them out of their home, and then they get put into some school not in the west side. But that part of the story is quite entertaining, I have to admit. During their time there, they meet the most unusual characters you will probably ever have the pleasure of reading about. Then after that, they meet a few more people, including a familiar face to one of the girls, who is going to help them take down the evilness sent to find something that could possibly wreck this dimension and the next.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philosopher and author of Beyond Blood Identities offers a new paradigm of persona freedom and moral self-possession. As a Jamaican immigrant arriving in the United States at the age of twenty, Jason Hill noticed how often Americans identified themselves in terms of race and ethnicity. He observed, for example, the reluctance of West Indians to joins 'black causes' for fear of losing their identity. He began to ask himself what sort of world he wanted to live in, a quest that in time led him to the idea of the cosmopolitan. In Becoming a Cosmopolitan, Jason D. Hill argues that we need a new understanding of the self. He revives the idea of the cosmopolitan, the person who identifies the world as home. Arguing for the right to forget where we came from, Hill proposes a new moral cosmopolitanism for the new millennium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While books on pedagogy in a theoretical mode have proliferated in recent years, there have been few that offer practical, specific ideas for teaching particular biblical texts. To address this need, Teaching the Bible, a collection of ideas and activities written by dozens of innovative college and seminary professors, outlines effective classroom strategies—with a focus on active learning—for the new teacher and veteran professor alike. It includes everything from ways to incorporate film, literature, art, and music to classroom writing assignments and exercises for groups and individuals. The book assumes an academic approach to the Bible but represents a wide range of methodological, theological, and ideological perspectives. This volume is an indispensable resource for anyone who teaches classes on the Bible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive anthology casts Sinophone studies as the study of Sinitic-language cultures born of colonial and postcolonial influences. Essays by such authors as Rey Chow, Ha Jin, Leo Ou-fan Lee, Ien Ang, Wei-ming Tu, and David Wang address debates concerning the nature of Chineseness while introducing readers to essential readings in Tibetan, Malaysian, Taiwanese, French, Caribbean, and American Sinophone literatures. By placing Sinophone cultures at the crossroads of multiple empires, this anthology richly demonstrates the transformative power of multiculturalism and multilingualism, and by examining the place-based cultural and social practices of Sinitic-language communities in their historical contexts beyond "China proper," it effectively refutes the diasporic framework. It is an invaluable companion for courses in Asian, postcolonial, empire, and ethnic studies, as well as world and comparative literature.
