Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Since the summer of 2020 after the murder of George Floyd, there have been even more book lists and titles published about social justice. With so many titles to choose from, how does one build a collection that encompasses an array of topics, ranging from racism and xenophobia to mental health and disability justice? GRAPHIC NOVELS Lekesia, Cheryl, and friends are back in this collection of Brandon-Croft's (the first Black woman cartoonist to be published nationally by a major syndicate) seminal 1990s comic strip about the lives of Black women. SOC SCI In this eye-opening, provocative work, Alsultany (American studies and ethnicity, Univ. of Southern California; Arabs and Muslims in the Media) clearly demonstrates that many diversity initiatives fail when they're centered around moments of crisis instead of lasting change.
