This volume brings together researchers and participants from diverse groups, reflecting the different ways in which the field of multicultural literacies has been interpreted. A common theme across the chapters is attention to the ways in which elements of difference--race, ethnicity, gender, class, and language--create dynamic tensions that influence students' literacy experiences and achievement. The hope of the editors is that readers will build on the experiences and findings presented so that the field of multicultural literacies will have a greater impact of literacy research, policy, and practice.

This qualitative study focused on the need for culturally responsive teaching within the southern Appalachian cultural setting. The specific components of this approach to teaching were based on research findings, theoretical claims from proponents of culturally responsive teaching (e.g. Gloria Ladson-Billings and Geneva Gay), and experiences and personal narratives of educators working with students in southern Appalachia. The purpose of this study was to identify aspects of culturally responsive teaching within the Southern Appalachian context by observing instruction and curriculum that sustained the cultural competence of southern Appalachian students and empowered them. As the researcher, I also studied my own efforts as a teacher educator with southern Appalachian roots who was preparing preservice teachers to acquire the knowledge, attitudes and skills to practice culturally responsive teaching. Through narrative inquiry, the study focused on the experiences of an elementary teacher, an elementary principal, and a preservice teacher. The study was conducted within three settings (Holbrook Elementary, Central Elementary and Appalachia College) over a total period of three years. Data collection methods included interviews, observations, participation in school events, fieldnotes, videotapes, photographs, a participant's journal and other artifacts.

The '80s of self-indulgence and "It's all about me" has turned us into "Nobody understands what I am going through" and "Nobody cares." There is power in the memoirs on the bookshelves today, with such authors as Dave Pelzer, Carol Burnett, Mackenzie Phillips, Ashley Judd, and Shania Twain. These authors are giving us positive nourishment and starting conversations. We are reconnecting with our neighbors across the street as well as across the g

Allow the Water combines an introduction to nonviolence with a deeper exploration into some of its dimensions. Though its style is mainly that of storytelling, there are also as many helpful references as possible. The book is 500 pages long, but photos and drawings make up almost half the volume. This is an exploration of the spirituality and practice of the force of love we inadequately call "nonviolence." Nonviolence is people and their stories before it is idea - a way of living and acting, not just a way of thinking. This book is one contribution to an urgently needed conversation. It is not meant to be "complete." There are questions, observations and convictions. Hopefully, in their thoroughness and simplicity, the contribute to our common search.

Title: Roots and Wings: Nurturing Faith and Fellowship in the Oikos Tradition In "Roots and Wings," delve into the ancient yet ever-evolving concept of Oikos-the Greek term for household-and discover how its enduring principles can revolutionize modern faith communities. This insightful tome is a beacon for those seeking to intertwine communal tradition's deep roots with contemporary practice's expansive wings. Throughout these pages, Miller embarks on a pilgrimage through time, exploring how the Oikos have served as the bedrock of spiritual solidarity and a microcosm of societal order. From breaking bread at shared tables to the intimacy of home gatherings, the author weaves historical wisdom with modern insights, offering a compelling vision for nurturing faith communities in today's complex world. Each chapter is a mosaic, piecing together the essence of communal living, the joy of shared experiences, and the vitality of service and outreach. The book is both a retrospective gaze into the richness of shared faith and a forward-looking guide that encourages adaptation and resilience in an ever-changing cultural landscape. "Roots and Wings" is not just for leaders looking to cultivate a cohesive community but for anyone who yearns for a deeper connection with others in the context of faith. It's a call to embrace inclusivity, extend the branches of fellowship, and plant the seeds for future generations. The book addresses the importance of mentorship, the power of service, and the need for environmental stewardship-integrating these elements into the very DNA of Oikos. The final chapters challenge the reader to consider the transformative potential of the Oikos spirit-how it can inspire personal growth, community action, and a resilient approach to collective living. With reflective points to ponder and practical advice, the author invites you on a transformative journey to discover how the ancient Oikos tradition can enrich your modern faith experience. Whether you're a spiritual seeker, a community leader, or simply someone curious about the intersection of ancient traditions and modern life, "Roots and Wings" offers valuable insights and inspiration. Join Rev. John Eugene Miller in rediscovering the timeless power of Oikos to provide the roots that ground us and the wings that propel us forward.
