Sarah Garland – författare

Examines why school desegregation, despite its success in closing the achievement gap, was never embraced wholeheartedly in the black community as a remedy for racial inequality In 2007, a court case originally filed in Louisville, Kentucky, was argued before the Supreme Court and officially ended the era of school desegregation— both changing how schools across America handle race and undermining the most important civil rights cases of the last century. Of course, this wasn’t the first federal lawsuit to challenge school desegregation. But it was the first—and only—one brought by African Americans. In Divided We Fail, journalist Sarah Garland deftly and sensitively tells the stories of the families and individuals who fought for and against desegregation. By reframing how we commonly understand race, education, and the history of desegregation, this timely and deeply relevant book will be an important contribution to the continued struggle toward true racial equality. 

This book explores what it means to study America in the twenty-first century and what the emergence of the field of New Area Studies means for the development of American Studies.

By analysing the meaning of interdisciplinarity, aesthetics, temporality, and periodisation, this book reveals both fields of study through the lens of interdisciplinary cases studies, innovative methodologies, and a global perspective. Exploring the imagined geographies of America across space and time, this book rethinks the meaning and production of place, and questions what —and where—it means to study America now.

By addressing the key issues of nation, place and people in this new disciplinary moment, this book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of American Studies and Area Studies.

Azzi och hennes föräldrar är i fara … De blir tvungna att överge sitt hem och fly till ett annat land, där de måste prata ett främmande språk och bo bland främmande människor.

Azzi lär sig att leva med de dramatiska förändringarna i sitt liv genom att vara modig och påhittig. Men det värsta är att farmor blev kvar därborta i det gamla landet. Kommer Azzi någonsin att få se sin farmor igen?

Utifrån sitt eget umgänge med flyktingfamiljer berättar barnboksförfattaren Sarah Garland med ömhet och humor en dramatisk historia från dagens verklighet som läsare i alla åldrar kan ha glädje av. Utgiven med rekommendation av Amnesty International UK.
