"The field of applied behavior analysis provides a framework that summarizes the factors that contribute to the cause of various problematic behaviors. Many interventions addressing these likely causes are now available that show promise in helping prevent problematic behavior. The authors have pulled together these findings to share causes and interventions throughout this book and provide a helpful guide for caregivers in various settings within the home, school, and work. The book begins by discussing punishment, its advantages and disadvantages, and how it contributes to various problematic behaviors. Then, the authors share a variety of additional factors that have been discovered to contribute to problematic behaviors. Next, reinforcement is covered, in that it underlies so many effective interventions and can truly prevent the development of problematic behavior. Following reinforcement, a number of interventions are shared that have been shown to help prevent the occurrence of both punishment and problematic behaviors, including many that help promote socially desirable behaviors. The focus throughout this book is on families and schools because most of the research studies and our experience has been in these areas. However, the concepts and many of the interventions apply in all settings where people live, play, and work. Several illustrations and studies conducted in such settings are presented to help illustrate their universal application"--

El blues de la invisibilidad se publicó por primera vez en 1990 y fue un antes y un después en la historia del feminismo negro. En esta compilación se analiza la experiencia de los negros en los EE. UU. partiendo de Harlem, las voces negras sistemáticamente silenciadas en la política, los medios de comunicación y la cultura. Se repasa el legado de figuras como Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Cade Bambara, Toni Morrison o Alice Walker. Wallace genera un prisma donde se muestran las tensiones entre raza, género y sociedad en un ensayo que combina el manejo virtuoso de lo literario y el rigor académico. Este es un libro sobre los retos de las culturas subyugadas y es, ya, un clásico del feminismo negro y la crítica cultural.

Les textes présentés dans ce recueil du Black Feminism, premier en France, explorent sur une période de trente ans les thèmes de l'identité, de l'expérience singulière, de la sexualité comme la place dans les institutions, les coalitions nécessaires, les alliances possibles, les formes culturelles de rébellion et de lutte. Pourquoi en France, ex-puissance coloniale, l'équivalent d'un féminisme noir n'a-t-il pas existé ?

Reinhold Niebuhr argued that one of the fundamental challenges to human existence is the anxiety caused by our desire to be perfect and godlike while knowing we are limited and mortal. This book explores how human adornment practices negotiate anxieties about our finitude. Through our clothing, we often shield ourselves from feeling our human frailty and from having others detect our emotional, physical, and spiritual vulnerabilities. Looking at the incarnation as a form of dress, Saracino claims that getting naked with Jesus or embracing our vulnerability is our only hope at creating life-giving relationships with God and others in the global world.
