The right to oblivion: the experience of Russia and foreign countries
Authors: Остапович И.Ю.
Published: May 2024

В Конституции Российской Федерации закреплен один из важных постулатов формирования правового государства и гражданского общества – человек, его права и свободы являются высшей ценностью. В современный период развития информационных технологий человечество вступило в активные коммуникативные отношения посредством глобальной информационно-телекоммуникационной сети «Интернет», что в свою очередь довольно остро поставило вопрос о необходимости обеспечения эффективной защиты прав и свобод человека и гражданина в процессе взаимодействия через сеть «Интернет», при одновременном сохранении высокого уровня гарантий реализации таковых прав и свобод, как того требуют основополагающие международно-правовые акты. Так как возросла потребность в сохранении своих персональных данных под защитой, возник вопрос каким образом это можно регулировать. И ответ был найден: ввести такую правовую категорию как «право на забвение» и обеспечить ей эффективную реализацию. Российская Федерация также не осталась в стороне от упомянутых выше процессов и вынуждена была предпринимать меры по защите прав и свобод своих граждан в сети «Интернет». Авторами данной статьи предпринята попытка, с учетом практики Европейского суда, Конституционного Суда РФ, а также и других судов, как Российской Федерации, так и ЗС указать основные положения реализации права на забвение, определить какие для это могут использоваться средства и способы. Однако нужно еще и учитывать, чтобы не ограничить другие права человека и гражданина.

The Constitution of the Russian Federation enshrined one of the important postulates of the formation of a rule of law state and civil society - a person, his rights and freedoms are the highest value. As the need to keep your personal data protected has increased, the question arose of how this can be regulated. And the answer was found: to introduce such a legal category as the "right to be forgotten" and ensure its effective implementation. As the need to keep your personal data protected has increased, the question arose of how this can be regulated. And the answer was found: to introduce such a legal category as the "right to be forgotten" and ensure its effective implementation. The Russian Federation also did not stand aside from the processes mentioned above and was forced to take measures to protect the rights and freedoms of its citizens on the Internet. The authors of this article have made an attempt, taking into account the practice of the European Court, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, as well as other courts of both the Russian Federation and Foreign Countries, to indicate the main provisions for the implementation of the right to be forgotten, to determine what means and methods can be used for this. However, it is also necessary to take into account so as not to limit other human and civil rights.

Intertwining volcanoes and society in Chile through arts and interdisciplinary connections
Authors: Acuña Valentina , Clunes Matías , Riffo Valdebenito Sebastián , Browning John
Published: May 2024

The conceptual distance between nature and society has been a concern within social sciences and interdisciplinary debates. We contribute to this discussion illustrating how arts have played an important role in demonstrating the entanglement of Earth and society through their ability to frame and shape the dynamics of the Earth across sensations. Through an examination of artistic representations in Chile, we seek to show how the proximity of Chilean society to the presence of volcanoes has been eloquently conveyed through various artistic styles across different historical epochs. Our study extends from the birth of the Chilean nation in 1818 to the year 2021, and examines a wide range of artistic representations, that encompass national symbols, image-making techniques, sculpture, art installations, poetry, music, and audiovisual works. Our research represents a pioneering effort to explore the diverse representations of volcanoes in Chile and has uncovered a remarkable diversity of artistic expressions that reflects the deep connection between Chilean society and volcanic processes and landscapes. Ever-present and often breathtaking, volcanoes have served as enduring symbols of national identity and as sources of inspiration for artists of diverse disciplines and aesthetic sensibilities. We illustrate how the arts reveal the relationship between volcanoes and social life and provide the basis for a detailed analysis that explores the temporal and spatial contexts in the representation of volcanoes and the human perception of geological phenomena in Chilean culture.
Understanding Syria through 40 Monuments
Authors: Burns Ross
Published: May 2024

When militants from the so-called Islamic State detonated explosives underneath the 1st century Roman Temple of Bal in Palmyra, it was seen by many as symbolic of Syria's wider fate as it descended into a civil war that has lasted over a decade. And yet, despite the tragedy of the war and its disastrous effects on the Syrian people, its monuments, like its people, remain resilient in the face of adversity, hardship and suffering.

Syria, for millennia at the crossroads between East and West, has always been a melting pot of different cultures. In this book, its 4000 year history is told through 40 of its greatest monuments, each treasures of world heritage from the bombastic Roman architecture of Palmyra, to the Great mosque of Damascus, the gem at the heart of the Umayyad Islamic Empire. With extensive illustrations, maps and plans, the book takes the reader on a journey through Syria's past, charting the many wonders that yet remain thanks to the efforts of Syrians, a reminder of how complex a society Syria has always been. For many centuries this was its basic strength; now it is its crucial vulnerability which has left it open to numerous forces happy to help tear it apart. Understanding how Syria has always faced a challenge of finding a balance amidst diversity is an important lesson of which the world constantly needs reminding.
Negotiating Migrations
Authors: Hofmann Daniela , Frieman Catherine J. , Furholt Martin , Burmeister Stefan , Johannsen Niels Nørkjær
Published: May 2024

As a species, we have always been mobile and migration was a habitual feature of prehistoric life.This open-access volume uses archaeological case studies mainly from the European Neolithic, but also from the Pacific, the US Southwest, the medieval Migration Period and the historical Great Lakes, to discuss how a focus on small-scale inter-personal relations – on the power struggles, negotiations and choices that people make in everyday settings – can help us understand migration events in archaeology. While much archaeological scholarship, using isotopes and aDNA, focuses on migrations as large-scale phenomena and crisis responses, this book offers a new approach by exploring how moving on was embedded in social practice.

This book offers a novel reinterpretation of how the political aspects of migration shaped past people’s worlds in Europe and beyond, drawing on archaeological, historical, linguistic and aDNA evidence. Overall, the conclusion is that a bottom-up approach can help us to understand migration in the past at a variety of scales, in many different regions of the world

As a species, we have always been mobile. But while we are now very good at recognizing that migrations happened (using e.g. isotopes and aDNA), to date we have developed only a limited range of ideas about why they happened and how. Using case studies from the Pacific, the US Southwest and Great Lakes areas and the medieval Migration Period in Europe, we build up a coherent theoretical focus on small-scale inter-personal relations – on the power struggles, negotiations and choices that people make in everyday settings – and use this to better understand migration events in archaeology. To show the potential of these insights for prehistoric settings, we offer a novel reinterpretation of how these political aspects of migration shaped the European Neolithic, which provides the majority of the case studies in this book. These cover different scales: larger-scale processes of ethnogenesis at the time when Denmark, Britain and Ireland were first settled by farmers; how household migration and mobility helped settle the Alpine foreland region; and how migrant individuals may have facilitated processes like linguistic change in the third millennium BCE.

Overall, we argue that a bottom-up approach focusing on small-scale decisions can help us understand the archaeological record at a variety of scales, in many different regions of the world. While these narratives are less linear than many of the more overarching models on offer, this focus on the inter-personal also offers a necessary corrective for how we envisage migration today.
The Insider-Outsider of Early 20th-Century German Industry
Authors: Berghahn Volker R.
Published: May 2024

Using the life and work of Günter Henle, Volker R. Berghahn examines the postwar West German approach to labour relations and European integration. The study of Henle simultaneously allows Berghahn to reflect on the unique insights into German Jewish life before and during the Nazi dictatorship that his story provides.

The book looks at how Henle suffered from Nazi persecution, but was ultimately protected by the Establishment he had married into. It then charts how, reinstated after 1945, he involved himself not only in the reconstruction of his Klockner industrial enterprise, but also in the rebuilding of the West German economy and society, and the development of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) - the embryo of what was ultimately to become the European Union.

The Insider-Outsider of Early 20th-Century German Industry discusses West European and American strategies to complement NATO as the political and military counter to the perceived threat of the Soviet Bloc with the creation of institutions for economic cooperation. It is a timely analysis which stresses the importance of cooperation between employers, trade unions and government in securing compromise, social peace and economic stability in trans-Atlantic perspective at a time when the neo-liberal axioms of Thatcherite and Reaganite shareholder societies are again being held against the strengths of the managed stakeholder societies of the early post-war decades.
Public Policy and the Black Hospital
Authors: Jones Woodrow , Rice Mitchell
Published: May 2024

This study adds to the small but growing literature on Black health history--the rise of hospital care and hospital services provided to Blacks from the antebellum era to the integration era, a period of some 150 years. The work examines the political, policy, legal, and philanthropic forces that helped to define the rise, development, and decline of Black hospitals in the United States. Particular discussion is given to the federal Hill-Burton Act of 1946 and the extent to which the legislation impacted Black hospital development. The roles of the Freedman's Bureau, National Medical Association, National Hospital Association, and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in the development of Black hospitals is highlighted.
Raising Young Children in an Alaskan Inupiaq Village
Authors: Sprott Julie E.
Published: May 2024

A comprehensive, case study portrait of the childrearing context of a predominantly Eskimo village in the remote Northwest Arctic, designed to look for evidence of reinvention, transformation, or conscious choice as process features of change in the mix of traditional childrearing beliefs and practices with infusions from the dominant culture.

The rearing environment and child well-being were studied during 18 months of anthropological fieldwork in an Alaskan Inupiaq village in the Northwest Arctic. Volunteers for the sample consisted of 44 adults from 16 extended families who were raising a child between the ages of three and six years. Results from guided interviews, card sorts, standardized family and home assessments, and review of the children's medical records revealed a complex portrait of culture continuity and change and included the following trends: • many traditions had been retained, even though villagers perceived few differences in their rearing style compared to that of mainstream culture • despite the presence of other households with extended family members in the village and touting of the value of kinship, 25% of core families reared their children in relative isolation • growth measurements, immunization status, and general health of the children were good, but children evidenced diets high in sugar and many suffered severe dental problems • present-day caregivers were engaged in dialogue about problem parenting behaviors that had developed a generation earlier during a time of massive acculturation stress and population growth—namely, the overuse of scolding of children without attached explanations and overt favoring of specific children over others in the family.

The study presents present-day rearing strategies and ideas as summarized from interviews and data from more formal instruments, and frames changes in the system within the broader historical/social context.
Religion on Trial
Authors: Jurinski James John
Published: May 2024

From colonial times to the present, an insightful examination of how courts have determined the extent to which religion is accommodated in American public life.

From the internationally renowned Scopes "Monkey Trial" of 1925, which pitted a public school teacher arrested for teaching evolution against the state of Tennessee,Religion on Trialchronicles key court cases that have shaped the tumultuous relationship between church and state throughout U.S. history.

This volume chronicles such groundbreaking cases as the 1991 decision ordering blood transfusions for children of Christian Scientists inNorwood Hospital v. Munozand the infamous case,Engel v. Vitale, that banned prayer in schools and ignited calls for Chief Justice Earl Warren's impeachment. The work addresses such inflammatory contemporary disputes as prayer in schools, allegiance to the flag, and the display of religious symbols on public property, and the impact they have had on American society.
Santería
Authors: Clark Mary Ann
Published: May 2024

Santería, also known as Yoruba, Lukumi, or Orisha, was originally brought to the Americas from Africa by enslaved peoples destined for the Caribbean and South America. By the late 1980s it was estimated that more than 70 million African and American people participated in, or were familiar with, the various forms of Santeria, including traditional religions in Africa, Vodun in Haiti, Candomble in Brazil, Shango religion in Trinidad, Santeria in Cuba and, of course, variants of all of these in the U.S. Today there are practitioners around the world including Europe and Asia. Because of the secretive nature of the religion, it has been difficult to get accurate and objective information, but here, Clark introduces readers to the religion, explores the basic elements, including the Orisha, and answers the many questions Santeria arouses in observers and practitioners alike.

Santería was brought to the United States in two principle waves, one in the early 1960s after the Cuban Revolution and later by the Marielitos who escaped from the island in the 1980s. Since then it has spread to the larger Hispanic community, to the African American community, and to other segments of society as well. Today, practitioners can be found in every state, and interest in Orisha and related traditions has gained popularity. As the number of practitioners has grown so has public awareness. In this compelling introduction, Clark answers such questions as where did this religion come from? What do practioners believe? Is it a cult? What takes place at a ritual event? How does it view death and the afterlife? Is there ritual sacrifice? Clark, a practitioner as well as a scholar of the faith, dispels the myths that surround this religious practice, and brings readers to a better understanding of this growing faith in America.
Science and Islam
Authors: Iqbal Muzaffar
Published: May 2024

Science and Islamprovides a detailed account of the relationship between Islam and science from the emergence of the Islamic scientific tradition in the eighth century to the present time. This relationship has gone through three distinct phases. The first phase began with the emergence of science in the Islamic civilization in the eighth century and ended with the rise of modern science in the West; the second period is characterized by the arrival of modern science in the Muslim world, most of which at that time was under colonial occupation; and the third period, which began around 1950, is characterized by a more mature approach to the major questions that modern science has posed for all religious traditions.

Based on primary sources, the book presents a panorama of Islamic views on some of the major issues in the current science and religion discourse. Written in accessible language,Science and Islamis an authentic account of the multi-faceted and complex issues that arise at the interface of Islamic intellectual tradition and science. Rich in historical details, the book is a fascinating survey of the interaction of Islamic beliefs with the enterprise of science.
Science in the Enlightenment
Authors: Burns William E.
Published: May 2024

The first introductory A–Z resource on the dynamic achievements in science from the late 1600s to 1820, including the great minds behind the developments and science's new cultural role.

Though the Enlightenment was a time of amazing scientific change, science is an often-neglected facet of that time. Now,Science in the Enlightenmentredresses the balance by covering all the major scientific developments in the period between Newton's discoveries in the late 1600s to the early 1800s of Michael Faraday and Georges Cuvier.

Over 200 A-Z entries explore a range of disciplines, including astronomy and medicine, scientists such as Sir Humphry Davy and Benjamin Franklin, and instruments such as the telescope and calorimeter. Emphasis is placed on the role of women, and proper attention is given to the shifts in the worldview brought about by Newtonian physics, Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier's "chemical revolution," and universal systems of botanical and zoological classification. Moreover, the social impact of science is explored, as well as the ways in which the work of scientists influenced the thinking of philosophers such as Voltaire and Denis Diderot and the writers and artists of the romantic movement.
Scientific Errors and Controversies in the U.S. HIV/AIDS Epidemic
Authors: Holmberg Scott D.
Published: May 2024

Our understanding, prevention, and treatment of HIV have made remarkable strides in the past two decades, but the way has not been smooth or straight. Part history, part narrative, and mainly scientific autopsy, this book is an insider's account of the errors, controversies and corrections that have marked the first 25 years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States. The author discusses the sources of these errors and controversies and provides many examples. These range from the scientifically contentious and protracted-- such as laboratory contaminations that lead to identifying HTLV-III and HTLV-IV, or arguments that there were HIV patients who were silently infected, and not detectable by standard HIV tests--to controversies that the scientific community quickly evaluated and discarded--such as the belief that HIV is spread by mosquitoes, or that one AIDS-associated cancer is caused by poppers, nitrates inhaled for sexual stimulation. This book describes how these many scientific errors occurred, how they got propagated, how they distracted researchers and the public, and how they got corrected.

Holmberg, a longtime past Chief of Epidemiology in the CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, shows us how scientific errors and controversies inevitably occur in the absence, ignorance, or dismissal of good data, and the promotion of bad data or analyses. He suggests reforms of governmental processes, medical and scientific journal review, and in graduate education that may help scientists recognize and correct errors faster, and so deal with future epidemics more efficiently.
Screens Fade to Black
Authors: Leonard David J.
Published: May 2024

The triple crown of Oscars awarded to Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, and Sidney Poitier on a single evening in 2002 seemed to mark a turning point for African Americans in cinema. Certainly it was hyped as such by the media, eager to overlook the nuances of this sudden embrace. In this new study, author David Leonard uses this event as a jumping-off point from which to discuss the current state of African-American cinema and the various genres that currently compose it. Looking at such recent films asLove and Basketball, Antwone Fisher, Training Day, and the twoBarbershopfilms—all of which were directed by black artists, and most of which starred and were written by blacks as well—Leonard examines the issues of representation and opportunity in contemporary cinema.

In many cases, these films-which walk a line between confronting racial stereotypes and trafficking in them-made a great deal of money while hardly playing to white audiences at all. By examining the ways in which they address the American Dream, racial progress, racial difference, blackness, whiteness, class, capitalism and a host of other issues, Leonard shows that while certainly there are differences between the grotesque images of years past and those that define today's era, the consistency of images across genre and time reflects the lasting power of racism, as well as the black community's response to it.
Sea Lanes and Pipelines

Secret Soldiers of the Revolution
Authors: Leonard Raymond W.
Published: May 2024

Leonard provides the first comprehensive history of the Red Army's Intelligence Directorate, known today as the GRU, from its inception during the Russian Civil War up to the rise of Nazi Germany in 1933. During these early years of Soviet Army intelligence, the GRU actively promoted Communism internationally through insurrection and partisan warfare. It became deeply involved in espionage in Western Europe, the United States, and Asia.

Making extensive use of primary sources, many of which have only recently become available, Leonard completes a story that has until now been often inaccurate or simply confused.
Seeking the Compassionate Life
Authors: Goldberg Carl , Crespo Virginia
Published: May 2024

Morality is a subject most ignored and little understood by modern psychological investigation. Why a person acts honorably, or heinously, is one of the most puzzling and least answered questions regarding human behavior. Here the authors posit that despite the fact that hatred and arrogance continually battle compassion and decency as humanity's driving force, people continue to develop altruism, empathy, and concern for others. Goldberg and Crespo demonstrate seven factors crucial to achieving a compassionate life.

Goldberg and Crespo take us inside their treatment rooms, through history, across cultures and into their own personal worlds-at-large to meet clients and acquaintances including a would-be rapist, a virtuous stalker, an adulterous minister, and a young boy with little more than a matchbook and some pride to call his own. Together, the stories of these clients and historical figures including Nazis at Nuremberg reflect a vital theme: Virtuous behavior should not be a mystery. Morality is a subject most ignored and little understood by modern psychological investigation. Why a person acts honorably or heinously is one of the most puzzling and least answered questions regarding human behavior. The authors demonstrate that although within every human breast hatred and arrogance battle compassion and decency as a driving force, people do indeed develop altruism, empathy, and concern for others. Goldberg and Crespo outline seven crucial factors in the achievement of a compassionate life.

This book addresses two audiences. First, it questions modern psychological scientists who have ignored the importance of compassion, virtue, and morality, focusing instead on contrived experimental situations rather than pursuing investigations in—as part of—the actual world in which we live. Yet it is also written for all people concerned with the moral crisis in comtemporary society, and all people seeking personal and social solutions to deal with this crisis.
The Sexual Life of Children
Authors: Martinson Floyd M
Published: May 2024

This book traces the development of sexuality in the child from the prenatal, through birth and up to puberty and adolescence. Very little has been written about children's sexuality in spite of a large literature on child abuse. Western society has been slow to recognize sexual experiences and conceptualizations as an important part of a child's development. This is the only work that has been written in a frank and open manner about the many sexual encounters that children have on a daily basis as part of their normal psychological development. Martinson's study is unique in that children speak for themselves in telling about their explorations, confusions, fears, and satisfactions. The book traces the life of children in their day-to-day encounters as they grow and develop. It complements and rounds out Robert Coles's important works onThe Moral Life of Children,The Political Life of Children, andThe Spiritual Life of Children.
Shards of Memory
Authors: Lindeman Yehudi
Published: May 2024

As the last Holocaust survivors die, their testimonies make the transition from memory to history. In this compelling volume, Yehudi Lindeman, Director of the Living Testimonies Video Archive in Montreal, shares compelling stories of survival and triumph collected from years of interviews with those who lived through the most harrowing decade of the 20th century. Here are 25 tales of courage and loss, representing the experiences of women, men, and children who either survived the death camps or lived in hiding, and of their rescuers and redeemers.

The testimonies included in this volume show glimpses of the big movements, the big picture of World War II—the fast German sweep into Poland; the bureaucratic German machine that marked and identified Jews across German-occupied Europe; the efficiently organized roundups of Europe's Jews; the gradual retreat of the Wehrmacht from east to west; the sudden attacks on Holland and France. The fate of the European Jews may be a collective one, but their attempt to survive the onslaught on their liberty and life is often best understood through the portrayal of individual struggles. By focusing on individual lives, the narratives collected here capture the flow of history in all its precise, subjective, human detail.
Stand Your Ground
Authors: Offstein Evan H.
Published: May 2024

West Point is the ideal laboratory for studying the dynamics of character, honor, and leadership: first, it operates a comprehensive honor education and enforcement program that has been subjected to rigorous Congressional scrutiny; second, it builds all of its academic, athletic, and military programs on this bedrock of honor. As a result, West Point invests heavily in mentoring, training, and evaluation to ensure the leadership and character development of its 4,000 cadets. From Civil War General Robert E. Lee to astronaut Edwin E. Buzz Aldrin to basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, West Point has groomed leaders whose contributions far exceed the successful management of their immediate charges. By illuminating the principles by which West Point teaches leadership,Stand Your Groundnot only provides a unique tour behind the scenes at this revered institution, but, more generally, imparts lessons of honor and character-building that can be adopted by any aspiring leader.

Management professor and West Point graduate Evan Offstein approached leaders at the U.S. Military Academy and the Department of the Army with two primary questions: (1) How does West Point develop its leaders?; (2) Can other individuals and organizations apply these methods effectively? Two years later, after conducting extensive on-site research at West Point and with business leaders in a variety of industries, he offers unprecedented access to the process of leadership development at West Point, and practical insights that can, indeed, be applied in any type of organization that strives to operate on the principle of integrity.
Strategy and Ethnic Conflict
Authors: Paquette Laure
Published: May 2024

Ethnic conflict now presents the thorniest problems for military and civilian strategists of all stripes. This book presents a new general theory of strategy, encompassing studies of the relationship between values, interest, and strategy as these relate to ethnic conflicts. It focuses on the relationship between values and strategy, building a theory on the hypothesis that national values influence national strategy. Paquette's research reveals that national values influence national strategy through three mechanisms: cognition, appreciation, and evaluation. Each mechanism, and indeed the whole value-focused approach to strategic thinking, is described using a network of interrelated statements.

Paquette develops a methodology specific to the issues of international security and ethnic considerations. She tests this theory extensively for internal consistency before applying it to a single historical case: French decision-making on national strategy between 1955 and 1970; however, because of its generality, this same theory could easily be applied to other cases. As with any theory, it is possible to vary successively or simultaneously assumptions or conditions and to derive new predictions. This process of deriving variations has the potential to help in the training of strategists, both military and civilian.
Student Companion to Arthur Miller
Authors: Abbotson Susan C. W.

Through a Glass Darkly
Authors: Cimbala Stephen J.
Published: May 2024

Cimbala shows why the prevention, management, and concluding of war all require an understanding of the subjective aspects of decision making as well as the hardware and tactics of military operations. A review of past cases of U.S. security policy decision making and a preview of some future problems are combined to distill important lessons about coping with conflict in the post-Cold War world.

These lessons include the awareness that some conflicts are unnecessarily provoked or prolonged on account of the gap between the perspectives and experiences of civilian policy makers and the views of the armed forces leadership. Another important lesson is that, in resolving or managing conflicts, perceptions, and expectations of leaders filter out alternatives that might have led to preferred solutions had they been attempted in good time. Of particular interest to policy makers, military professionals, and researchers involved with contemporary military issues.

Underground Dance Masters
Authors: Guzman-Sanchez Thomas
Published: May 2024

This book is a comprehensive, historical bible on the subject of urban street dance and its influence on modern dance, hip hop, and pop culture.

Urban street dance—which is now referred to across the globe as "break dance" or "hip-hop dance"—was born 15 years prior to the hip hop movement. In today's pop culture, the dance innovators from "back in the day" have been forgotten, except when choreographic echoes of their groundbreaking dance forms are repeatedly recycled in today's media. Sadly, this is still the case when dance moves that were engendered from 1965 through the 1970s on the streets of Reseda, South Central Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco, and Fresno, CA; or in the Bronx in New York City, are utilized by modern performers.

InUnderground Dance Masters: Final History of a Forgotten Era, an urban street dancer who was part of the scene in the early 1970s sets the record straight, blowing the lid off this uniquely American dance style and culture. This text redefines hip hop dance and the origins of a worldwide phenomenon, explaining the origins of classic forms such as Funk Boogaloo, Locking, Popping, Roboting, and B'boying—some of the most important developments in modern dance that directly affect today's pop culture.
Understanding I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
Authors: Megna-Wallace Joanne
Published: May 2024

Maya Angelou's autobiographyI Know Why the Caged Bird Singswas nominated for a National Book Award, yet in 1995 it topped the list of books most frequently challenged in schools and libraries. This interdisciplinary collection of documents and commentary explores the historical and social context, as well as the contemporary issues and controversies raised by Angelou's autobiography. A rich resource for teachers and students, it will help to enhance the reader's understanding of the historical and social forces that shaped Maya Angelou's experience—race relations in the pre-civil rights South, segregated schools, the African American church, and the African American family. It also examines the issue of childhood sexual abuse, the inclusion of which has been the basis of most of the challenges to the autobiography, and the issue of the work's censorship since its publication.

This rich resource begins with a literary analysis of the structure and dramatic elements of Angelou's autobiography, as well as discussion of the genre of autobiography. Subsequent chapters include introductions and documents that provide insight into the topics of race relations, lynchings, and racial etiquette; the education of African Americans in the South in the 1930s (particularly county training schools like the one Angelou attended); the otherworldliness, emotion, and music of the African American church; African American women as nurturers, and the effect of frequent migration on children such as Angelou; information from the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect which puts the sexual abuse Angelou experiences in a broader context; and many news stories regarding censorship attempts onI Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Documents in the work include newspaper articles, interviews and first-person narratives, government documents, excerpts from books and journals, and legal statutes. Study questions, ideas for project topics, and suggested readings conclude each chapter and further enhance the usefulness of this interdisciplinary research tool for students and teachers.
