"In a world where critical thinking is&#160;huge, this book is perfect to enhance and hone that skill in a fun and engaging way.&#160;Lindsey Daly crafted thoughtful and entertaining "Would You Rather?" questions that you can use as a boredom buster road trip activity, as a family bonding activity, and more!"&#160;&mdash;Kelly Fedynich, 5th grade teacher"From wondering if you&rsquo;d rather discover the truth behind the creation of Stonehenge or find out what really happened to Amelia Earhart, to thinking about whether a zombie or ninja would be the perfect dance partner, this book is the perfect combination of thought-provoking and humorous questions that will have&#160;kids&#160;of all ages engaged and laughing!"&#160;&mdash;Mike Del Galdo, 7th grade teacher"Funny, thought-provoking, and entertaining for all ages&mdash;I could not put this book down! As an upper elementary teacher, I know my students would be clamoring to challenge one another to these silly, yet engaging, questions. These would make an awesome 'do now,' writing prompt, or even class debate!&#160;I would highly recommend this book to any teacher looking to spice up the discussions in their classroom!"&#160;&mdash;Rebecca Caramanica, 4th grade teacher"As a parent of children ages 10, 13, and 16, I was amazed&#160;at how easy this book made it to get them all talking! Instead of bickering, this book facilitated conversations and laughter. The topics were just silly enough&#160;and not overly invasive that all of my children were able to open up, recall memories&#160;of times together,&#160;and really connect. It helped me as a parent get to&#160;know them all a little bit better without prying. This book works for families and friends of all ages. I can't wait to&#160;take it to the pool so they can continue posing the questions to&#160;their&#160;friends. (I might ask their friends' moms a few of the questions&#160;too!)"&#160;&mdash;Jennifer Carcich, teacher, academic interventionist, and mother

Maria Chávez has given us a remarkable and compelling book that deftly entwines social science with courageous acts of personal storytelling. Manifesting a profoundly civic spirit and a keen sense for the resiliency in the midst of struggle modeled by the Latina/o pioneers, warriors, and leaders who populate the volume, Chávez shows us, in the memorable words of one participant, "where the power resides" to fight racism’s historical legacies and emboldened current tenor, alike. In abundant measure, this exploration of Latino professionals’ experiences-in-context illuminates the equity-enhancing policies, altered gender frameworks, and counterracialization strategies needed to wage and win that fight.Paul Apostolidis, Professor and Judge & Mrs. Timothy A. Paul Chair of Political Science, Whitman College, and author The Fight for Time: Migrant Day Laborers and the Politics of Precarity (Oxford, 2019)
Dr. Chávez writes a rich and deeply personal account of the nuances, idiosyncrasies and challenges Latinos encounter while making their way to professional careers, and the race-, class-, and gender-specific obstacles that meet them once attaining coveted professional positions. Her book demonstrates that a combination of targeted equity-enhancing public policies and mentors is what makes all the difference in whether one can receive an education and become an active, productive, and contributing member of society. Accessible, informative and insightful—it is a must-read for all community members, professionals, students, faculty, and anyone interested in promoting equity, inclusion and social justice in the world. Jerry Flores, PhD, AssistantProfessor of Sociology, University of Toronto
Our ability to understand the successful pathways to social and professional mobility is crucial if we are to fulfill the great potential of our community. Maria Chávez' fascinating book is an important presentation of the, often painful, narratives of success within our community that is often shrouded in myth.Stephen Nuño, Chair and Associate Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Northern Arizona University

"Taking Dana Amir’s approach as a model, a new line of inquiry, that of reconstructing the mental processes that led to the phenomena observed in the testimonies, will become evident, leading to a much deeper understanding of the experience of survival and of its aftermath. Her book is written in a prose that is almost poetry and in a language that is both strong as well as daring and imaginative."-Professor Dori Laub, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry,&nbsp;Yale University School of Medicine, USA

"American empire stalks the globe, but what kind of empire is it? What is the relationship between this empire and globalization?  Does the Bush administration offer a monstrous hybrid of the logics of capital and war? Nederveen Pieterse's book takes on these pressing, heady questions and offers provocative and compelling answers. Globalization or Empire? is a magisterial primer on the history of the present.  A tour de force!" -- Michael Watts, Director, Institute of International Studies, UC Berkeley"Provocative and insightful as always, Jan Nederveen Pieterse unravels the many dimensions of corporate-driven globalization, particularly its links with empire and American hyperpower. Nederveen Pieterse is indispensable in helping us understand the meaning of recent global developments like Washington's aggressive unilateralism and the emergence of the vast and diverse anti-globalization movement." -- Walden Bello, Director of Focus on the Global South, Professor of Sociology, University of the Philippines and author of Deglobalization"As the project of economic globalization gets superimposed with the imperial 'Project for a New American Century' and a unipolar world seems inevitable, Nederveen Pieterse's Globalization or Empire? provides a helpful roadmap to explore how the two projects of contemporary domination are related yet different, and how the exercise of unrestrained power has the seeds of self-destruction built into it. This is an important book for all those seeking a coherent, intelligent and hopeful path out of the economic and political mess we find ourselves in." -- Vandana Shiva, Director of the Research Foundation for Science Technology & Ecology, New Delhi"Nederveen Pieterse asks us to think rigorously about terms like neo-liberalism, globalization, empire and imperialism and to ground our analysis of contemporary international economics and politics in clear concepts, attention to real mechanisms and hard evidence. His book is a valuable guide to a very wide range of literature on contemporary international dynamics. Those wishing to get to the heart of the big contemporary international issues should buy this book." -- Peter Gowan, London Metropolitan University

‘A compelling study of women’s words in witchcraft trials across many countries located around the North Sea, it provides different methodological approaches and a transnational regard, giving valuable insight into the field of mentalities. Not only the voices of the accused come alive, but also those of the judges, the scribes, the witnesses, and all those involved in a large number of trials carefully chosen by the author.’

Marina Montesano, University of Messina, Italy
‘The volume offers a useful model for using classical narratology in history and the history of witchcraft in general, backed up by a variety of sample analysis from various parts of Europe. The methodology is used to analyse questions of gender and agency, but it will be useful for scholars of various other perspectives on the history of witchcraft, too, including topics such as transfer of knowledge, creation of opinions, controlling of emotion and deconstruction of persecutions.’
