  • Many Voices, One Nation Booklist A
    Many Voices, One Nation Booklist Many Voices, One Nation began as an initiative of past American Library Association President Carol Brey-Casiano. In 2005 ALA Chapters, Ethnic Caucuses, and other ALA groups were asked to contribute annotated book selections that best represent the uniqueness, diversity, and/or heritage of their state, region or group. Selections are featured for children, young adults, and adults. The list is a sampling that showcases the diverse voices that exist in our nation and its literature. A Alabama Library Association Title: Send Me Down a Miracle Author: Han Nolan Publisher: San Diego: Harcourt Brace Date of Publication: 1996 ISBN#: [X] Young Adults Annotation: Adrienne Dabney, a flamboyant New York City artist, returns to Casper, Alabama, the sleepy, God-fearing town of her birth, to conduct an artistic experiment. Her big-city ways and artsy ideas aren't exactly embraced by the locals, but it's her claim of having had a vision of Jesus that splits the community. Deeply affected is fourteen- year-old Charity Pittman, daughter of a local preacher. Reverend Pittman thinks Adrienne is the devil incarnate while Charity thinks she's wonderful. Believer is pitted against nonbeliever and Charity finds herself caught in the middle, questioning her father, her religion, and herself.

  • Away from Home Are Some and I—Homeplace in Fannie Flagg's
    English Language and Literature Studies; Vol. 8, No. 1; 2018 ISSN 1925-4768 E-ISSN 1925-4776 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Away from Home Are Some and I—Homeplace in Fannie Flagg’s Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café: A Black Feminist Lens Natthapol Boonyaoudomsart1 1 International Program in English Language Studies, Department of English, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University, Bangkok, Thailand Correspondence: Natthapol Boonyaoudomsart, Department of English, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University, Bangkok, Thailand. E-mail: [email protected] Received: December 23, 2017 Accepted: January 13, 2018 Online Published: February 3, 2018 doi:10.5539/ells.v8n1p20 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ells.v8n1p20 Abstract This article aims to explore the centrally essential notion of homeplace as a site of resistance presented in Fannie Flagg’s Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (1987). Close reading of the novel advances the argument that both the symbolic Whistle Stop and the cafe represent the counteractive force against sexist, classist and racist ideologies that basically undermine self-esteem and empowerment of literary characters in the text. Despite gender, class and race, the discussed characters, however they are marginalized, can safely take refuge, heal and recover themselves in the guarded icons connoting deep meanings. By directing a critical gaze at rootedness, the discussion is grounded in Black feminist criticism that, while largely exclusive to the experiences of women of color, values the significant role of homeplace and informs how the novel responds to this feminist perspective. In the collective effort to offset discrimination, it is stressed that one is to regain a sense of self in the marginal space by embracing Black feminism.

  • Why the Legal Strategy of Exploiting Immigrant Families Should Worry Us All
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLP\14-1\HLP101.txt unknown Seq: 1 30-JAN-20 10:17 Why the Legal Strategy of Exploiting Immigrant Families Should Worry Us All Jamie R. Abrams* This article applies a family law lens to explore the systemic and traumatic effects of modern laws and policies on immigrant families. A family law lens widens the scope of individuals harmed by recent immigration laws and policies to show why all families are affected and harmed by shifts in state power, state action, and state rhetoric. The family law lens reveals a worrisome shift in intentionality that has moved the state from a by- stander to family-based immigration trauma to an incendiary agent perpetrating family trauma. Modern immigration laws and policies are deploying legal and political strategies that intentionally sever the parent-child relationship and demonize immigrant families. The family law lens brings into focus how the state is acting under the parens patriae power, which positions the state as the “parent of the nation.” For the state to intervene using its parens patriae power to perpetrate the exact kinds of harms that would be con- sidered abusive if deployed by a parent, suggests a deep dissonant injustice in the use of state power in certain families. This shift in intentionality exacerbates longstanding dif- ferences in government family interventions by race, class, and immigration status. Laws and policies that exploit the hardships of families as political pressure should worry all families under the law because we entrust the state to intervene to protect fami- lies. These political strategies threaten the constitutional norms that are the foundation of modern family law.

    Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) 87 liked it Average Rating: 3.7/5 User Ratings: 133,466 Movie Info A woman learns the value of friendship as she hears the story of two women and how their friendship shaped their lives in this warm comedy-drama. Evelyn Couch (Kathy Bates) is an emotionally repressed housewife with a habit of drowning her sorrows in candy bars. Her husband Ed (Gailard Sartain) barely acknowledges her existence, and while he visits his aunt at a nursing home every week, Evelyn is not permitted to come into the room because the old women doesn't like her. One week, while waiting out Ed's visit, Evelyn meets Ninny Threadgoode (Jessica Tandy), a frail but feisty old woman who lives at the same nursing home and loves to tell stories. Over the span of several weeks, she spins a whopper about one of her relatives, Idgie (Mary Stuart Masterson). Back in the 1920s, Idgie was a sweet but fiercely independent woman with her own way of doing things who ran the town diner in Whistle Stop, Alabama. Idgie was very close to her brother Buddy (Chris O'Donnell), and when he died, she wouldn't talk to anyone except Buddy's girl, Ruth Jamison (Mary-Louise Parker). Idgie gave Ruth a job at the cafe after she left her abusive husband, Frank Theatrical release poster (Wikipedia) Bennett (Nick Searcy). Between her habit of standing up for herself, standing up to Frank, and serving food TOMATOMETER to Black people out the back of the diner, Idgie raised the ire of the less tolerant citizens of Whistle Stop, and when Frank mysteriously disappeared, many All Critics locals suspected that Idgie, Ruth, and their friends may have been responsible.

    GET TO KNOW FANNIE FLAGG “Hello! I’m thrilled to talk to anyone from Alabama!” Fannie Flagg’s distinctive, warm Southern voice says A outhern from the other end of the receiver. It’s a dreary day S in Birmingham, but there’s no doubt Flagg’s sunny disposition could part the clouds and bring the Treasure sunshine anytime. “I was worried about the storm! I thought ‘Oh no, maybe I won’t be able to get WITH WIT, WISDOM, AND A WHOLE through!’” It’s this upbeat nature that has become a hallmark of the legendary author. She’s personal and LOT OF SOUTHERN CHARM, THIS present in her conversations, like you’re just catching LEGENDARY AUTHOR, ACTRESS, up with an old friend.

  • Targeted Sampling from Massive Block Model Graphs with Personalized Pagerank∗
    Targeted sampling from massive block model graphs with personalized PageRank∗ Fan Chen1, Yini Zhang2, and Karl Rohe1 1Department of Statistics 2School of Journalism and Mass Communication University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA Abstract This paper provides statistical theory and intuition for Personalized PageRank (PPR), a popular technique that samples a small community from a massive network. We study a setting where the entire network is expensive to thoroughly obtain or maintain, but we can start from a seed node of interest and \crawl" the network to find other nodes through their connections. By crawling the graph in a designed way, the PPR vector can be approximated without querying the entire massive graph, making it an alternative to snowball sampling. Using the degree-corrected stochastic block model, we study whether the PPR vector can select nodes that belong to the same block as the seed node. We provide a simple and interpretable form for the PPR vector, highlighting its biases towards high degree nodes outside of the target block. We examine a simple adjustment based on node degrees and establish consistency results for PPR clustering that allows for directed graphs. These results are enabled by recent technical advances showing the element-wise convergence of eigenvectors. We illustrate the method with the massive Twitter friendship graph, which we crawl using the Twitter API. We find that (i) the adjusted and unadjusted PPR techniques are complementary approaches, where the adjustment makes the results particularly localized around the seed node and (ii) the bias adjustment greatly benefits from degree regularization. Keywords Community detection; Degree-corrected stochastic block model; Local clustering; Network sampling; Personalized PageRank arXiv:1910.12937v2 [cs.SI] 1 Jul 2020 1 Introduction Much of the literature on graph sampling has treated the entire graph, or all of the people in it, as the target population.

  • When Cruelty Is the Point: Family Separation As Unconstitutional Torture
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLC\56-1\HLC107.txt unknown Seq: 1 8-APR-21 11:06 When Cruelty Is the Point: Family Separation as Unconstitutional Torture Jenny-Brooke Condon1 The Trump Administration separated migrant children from their parents at the southern U.S. border in 2017 and 2018 knowing and intending that the fami- lies would suffer grievous harm. The President and other Administration offi- cials candidly acknowledged that they intended the threat of separation under the “zero tolerance” policy to deter migration. In other words, the cruelty of separation was the very point of the plan. In June 2018, a district court con- cluded that the policy violated parents’ due process right to family unity and association, enjoined the practice, and directed the reunification of families. That framing of the constitutional violation, however, failed to fully capture the scope of the government’s abuse of power and the depth of the harm that family separation inflicted upon parents and children. This Article draws upon Eighth Amendment and Due Process doctrine to articulate why the policy’s intentional cruelty and infliction of grievous harm constituted unconstitutional torture. This understanding of family separation as torture recognizes the intentional violence and abuse of power at the core of the policy and sharpens the claim to broad and meaningful remedies and accounta- bility. Emphasizing the defining cruelty of family separation resists its minimiza- tion within legal discourse and secures against similar abuses of migrants in the future.
