&ldquo;A particularly poignant censure is aimed at universities&rsquo; theatrically professed diversity and inclusion efforts, which Patel contends do not actually interrupt settler colonialism and indeed exploit the labor of people of color . . . Thought-provoking interrogation for academics and reformers.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;In her essential new book, Dr. Leigh Patel examines how to disrupt systemic inequality on our campuses. Hint: it isn&rsquo;t checkbox &lsquo;diversity&rsquo; programs and empty land acknowledgments but a real reckoning with the settler colonialism on which our universities were built and continue to capitalize.&rdquo;&mdash;Ms. Magazine&ldquo;Challenging two centuries of US colonialist higher education, Leigh Patel provides an analysis of and a road map for decolonizing the settler-colonial university.&rdquo;&mdash;Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of An Indigenous Peoples&rsquo; History of the United States&ldquo;Today, most American universities have adopted obligatory land acknowledgments, recognizing that their massive billion-dollar campuses are on stolen land. And yet, inside the classroom, the administrative halls, the financial arrangements, and in the relations between universities and their neighbors, the legacy of settler colonialism persists, unremarked and unheeded. Until now. Leigh Patel delivers a powerful, penetrating analysis of the settler-colonial roots of the modern university and the consequences for higher education and our society at large. The lesson is clear: we can&rsquo;t &lsquo;reform&rsquo; the university; it must be decolonized through critical study and struggle. This book is the essential guide.&rdquo;&mdash;Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination&ldquo;Leigh Patel&rsquo;s writing is consistently bold, concise, timely, and filled with nuances. . . . Her moving writing is backed by historical context that brings theory to light.&rdquo;&mdash;Bettina L.

A Memoir Of James Jackson, Jr., M.D

"While the economic, technological, and political changes that caused deindustrialization are global, their effects play out locally, as each community draws on its history, its cultural memories, and its social networks to respond to industrial decline and large-scale layoffs. A realistic, complex sense of place, rooted in particular experiences of work and community, can help a town or region respond to the loss of its major industry and even find resilience in the face of such losses. Yet those who study deindustrialization must also recognize how the particularity of place co-exists with global commonalities. This book takes us on a world tour of the costs of economic restructuring and approaches to industrial heritage. As　Geographies of Post-Industrial Place, Memory, and Heritage　reminds us, deindustrialized communities everywhere face similar challenges." -Sherry Linkon, Professor of English, Georgetown University, USA
"Geographies of Post-Industrial Place, Memory, and Heritage hits the nail on the head - more care and attention is needed to advance our understanding of memory, community, place. All three editors grew up in, and now study dusty, smoky, oily, rusty, scarred places and Rhodes, Price, Walker have curated an excellent volume with passion, sensitivity and critical insights that avoid pit-falls of romanticisation. Chapters focus on a fascinating range of case studies, such as; slate mining in North and coal mining in South Wales; railway towns in India; gentrification of working-class markets in Scotland; industrialized killing/capital punishment in USA prison towns; decommissioned nuclear power plants in Lithuania; and industrial farming in Cambodia. Contributors provide fascinating empirical evidence enlivened through theoretical engagements with class; postcolonialism; slavery; emotions/affect; community; identity; contamination; waste; climate change etc. Offering rich and detailed thinking with regard to the endurance and decline of communities, the lasting effects of social relations, lifestyles, materialities and multitude legacies and memories of industrialization this book is a must read for anyone interested the ways in which geographical imaginations are generating new and exciting avenues for interdisciplinary work on memory and heritage." - Mark Jayne, Professor of Human Geography,　Sun Yat-Sen University, China
"Aside some important works that inform this collection, Geography’s contribution to understanding post-industrialism, a fundamentally spatial process, is latent. Responding, Geographies of Post-Industrial Place, Memory, and Heritage greatly advances geographical enquiry of post-industrialism by demonstrating its salience to major disciplinary concerns. The volume is distinguished in attending to international contexts and subjects largely absent in post-industrial studies – (post-)colonialism, environmentalism, carcerality – uniquely exploring their complex spatiotemporal relations with deindustrialisation. The contributions by both well-established and emerging scholars expand our conceptions of the spatial legacies, heritages and resonances of industrial transformations, documenting fresh empirical insights and developing novel theoretical directions." -Jay Emery, Leverhulme Early Career Fellow, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, The University of Sheffield
"Rhodes, Price, and Walker have curated a set of eye-opening essays that map the complex transformations and tensions facing communities as they remember, forget, and live with the legacies of industrialization. By embracing the heterogeneous and emergent nature of place, contributors problematize not just what we have come to regard as the politics of industrial heritage but also where we expect to find those consequential struggles. This edited volume reflects the best in memory studies by connecting the heritage making process to the totality of everyday life and recognizing the many faces of post-industrial memory within society—from source of community identity, storytelling and tourism development to unreconciled reminders of capitalistic and colonial exploitation and the slow violence of environmental degradation." - Derek H. Alderman, Professor of Geography, University of Tennessee
"I’ve been on the lookout for a book like this on post-industrial memory, place and heritage, especially one that I can recommend to my students. What I especially love about this book is the jargon free text, the research rich case studies and the contributors’ creative methods and approaches. It’s a book that feels fresh and lively, led by a group of researchers passionate about the legacy of (de)industrialisation for communities." -Katy Bennett, Associate Professor in Human Geography, University of Leicester, UK

Sylvie: A Graphic Memoir

"Reading The Last Ecstasy of Life was a journey of self discovery. Led by a guide who speaks with wisdom and a clear reverence for life, the reader is led to examine themselves. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn to approach death with compassion and have a deeper appreciation for life. This is an excellent book that was a pleasure to read. Anam-&#193;ire has managed to breathe such a vibrant sense of life and love into a book all about the topic of death and dying. She has left me with questions to ponder for the remainder of my life as I try to shape what that life will look like. Though when death finally does come for me, I believe I will be more prepared."

"Altman has the rare gift of being a sophisticated psychoanalytic thinker who writes in a personal voice, conversational tone, and jargon-free accessible language. He has developed "binocular vision" enabling him to apprehend the connections between the intrapsychic and the social, cultural surround. His reflections on white privilege and its associated defensive evasions and disavowals enhance our capacities to see ourselves and others more clearly."
James Barron, PhD. Chair, Section of the Psychoanalyst in the Community, Department of Psychoanalytic Education, American Psychoanalytic Association
"Dr. Neil Altman:　Brave. Bold.　Honest.　Authentic.　As a psychoanalyst　who is　African-Caribbean　American, I am struck by how,　once again,　Dr. Altman　has done the exceptional　as in his classic　The Analyst in the Inner City.　He takes us　on　a journey of the evolving self as relational and　uncovers　the power of a psychoanalytic　theoretical　lens and the empiricism of　psychoanalysis　in practice　to　examine ourselves. He exploresour racialized thinking and acting,　white AND black, in perhaps one of the most controversial contexts: White Privilege. Living　inside this　conjoined and shared historical,　socially-embedded and -constructed　context　of racism,　dating　back to slavery, he　urges　white folks　(and also people of color)　through　the　psychoanalytic process　to learn to STAY with　the　deeply disturbing　aspects of this relational self, to　"own"　awareness of what is uncovered　("splitting",　"shame and guilt") in order to come out on the other side with greater empathy and insight regarding our prejudices and the unwitting promulgation of racism.　
Like　the analyst engaged in the　treatment hour, all　along the way in　White Privilege,　Dr. Altman　stops to　pause　and reflect on his　ability to see clearly the landscape of privilege, his limitations as　a white person.　Moreover,　in this extraordinary thoughtful endeavor,　by the end he　still wonders with us and recognizes that　certain of　his　own　blind spots inevitably remain,　and in doing so,　Dr. Altman values　the psychoanalytic　process,　as an ideal way to　welcome　us all　into a new　evolving　conversation with ourselves　to be　broken　open from inside to outside,　intra-psychically　to　interpersonally. "
