Barbarians at the Gates

"Liz Jackson provides two invaluable services in this book. The first is to identify, and begin to correct, the distorted and incomplete ways in which Muslims are represented in American popular culture and in American school materials (textbooks, state standards, and curricula). Her account is richly informative and provides a framework for rereading those materials through a more critical lens. Second, she discusses the importance of these problems in the context of a wider understanding of multicultural education, and in this context her argument frames a broader set of questions about the purposes and methods of education in a democratic society. Her analysis is critical, challenging, but also constructive in providing a more productive way forward in dealing with Islam –　as well as other "controversial" cultural subjects – in schools." Nicholas C. Burbules, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

"Since the tragic events of September 11, public education has once again become a major site of debates about whether public schools in the United States should privilege Christian traditions or promote a robust secularism. American Muslim communities have found themselves at the pointy end of these debates, subjected to some very uncomfortable questions about their right to belong. At the same time, serious questions have arisen about the responsibility of public schools to the principles of diversity and social inclusion. This book unhesitatingly accepts the challenge of tackling these questions, and presents a philosophical analysis that is as perceptive as it is accessible." -- Fazal Rizvi, Professor in Global Studies of Education, University of Melbourne Australia

Praise for Pale Horse Rider:&ldquo;Mark Jacobson belongs to that great bloodline of New York street writers from Stephen Crane to A. J. Liebling through Jimmy Breslin and Pete Hamill and now to himself and very few others.&rdquo;&mdash;Richard Price  &#160; &ldquo;Whether you implicitly believe conspiracy theories or consider them the ultimate threat to responsible citizenship, here's a fact that's neither alternative nor deniable&mdash;Pale Horse Rider is one of the most important books you'll ever read.&rdquo;&mdash;Jeff Guinn, author of Manson and The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple &#160;&ldquo;I've always heard that we may not get all the answers to what's really going on behind the curtain on this planet until we die, but I believe that maybe everything that's going on behind the scenes is really happening right under our noses in the form of conspiracy theories. Even if you don't believe them to be the truth, they are very entertaining and make for good reads, and Pale Horse Rider is no exception!!&rdquo;&mdash;Charlamagne Tha God &#160;&ldquo;Through hip-hop in the early 90s I first learned of William Cooper and his book, Behold a Pale Horse. Countless rap songs from then to now referenced it and made the Illuminati a well-known conspiracy theory in hoods coast to coast. Mark Jacobson&rsquo;s Pale Horse Rider peels the onion and lays it all out for us. His personal discussions with Wu-Tang Clan's Ol' Dirty Bastard and Mobb Deep's Prodigy about Cooper&rsquo;s work before they passed away makes this book a must-read!&rdquo;&mdash;Fab 5 Freddy

"Conservatism is grounded in gratitude&#8212;gratitude for what we love and want to conserve for future generations. Ben Shapiro&#8217;s How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps is a valuable and passionate expression of gratitude for what makes this country great and why we should be grateful for what it is, not angry at it for falling short of some ideological fantasy of perfection."

The art amplifies the characteristically dark, rich tones of Almond's prose all the way to a final Dylan Thomas-style promise that "the world and all that's in it will continue to&#8230;hold us in its darkness and its light."... A keen collaboration moving seamlessly between worlds inner and outer, natural and supernatural.&#8212;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)This throws Joe into an existential funk, expertly rendered in McKean&#8217;s dark, mixed-media illustrations, where overlapping, scribbled sketches embody confusion and conflict, jarring collages evoke an unsettled atmosphere, and negative space echoes absence and haunting memories. Joe navigates his inner turmoil, including grief and religious confusion, forming earnest revelations about life&#8217;s poltergeists (i.e., disruptions) and finding peace.&#8212;BooklistMcKean restores a sense of compromised hope to complement Almond&#8217;s conclusion through a mix of dark greens with a smidge of yellow light above Davie&#8217;s head and the town itself, making this a marvelous lesson in visual metaphor as well as a thought-provoking horror story.&#8212;Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksMcKean&#8217;s frenetic, ever-shifting mixed-media illustrations dramatically convey Davie&#8217;s experiences and story&#8217;s vivid characters, evoking a distinct sense of disquiet, while Almond&#8217;s text propels the plot and provides deeper meaning. Gripping and philosophical, this collaboration will prompt discussion.&#8212;Publishers Weekly
