Dancing at Armageddon
Winner of the Charles H. Cooley Award from the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction. Richard G. Mitchell Jr. spent more than a dozen years among survivalists at public conferences, private meetings, and clandestine training camps across America. He takes us inside a compelling, hidden world more connected to the chaos of modern life many of us experience than the label "separatist" suggests. In survivalism Mitchell found a profound and meaningful critique of contemporary industrial society, a subculture in which the real evil is not repressive government but the far more insidious influence of a "Planet Microsoft" mentality with its abundance of empty choices. Survivalists, Mitchell shows us, are seeking resistance, not struggling against it; they are looking for ways to define themselves and test their talents in a society that is becoming devitalized and formless.

Death in Custody
The United States significantly undercounts the number of people who die in law enforcement custody each year. How can we fix this?Deaths resulting from interactions with the US criminal legal system are a public health emergency, but the scope of this issue is intentionally ignored by the very systems that are supposed to be tracking these fatalities. We don't know how many people die in custody each year, whether in an encounter with police on the street, during transport, or while in jails, prisons, or detention centers. In order to make a real difference and address this human rights problem, researchers and policy makers need reliable data. In Death in Custody, Roger A. Mitchell Jr., MD, and Jay D. Aronson, PhD, share the stories of individuals who died in custody and chronicle the efforts of activists and journalists to uncover the true scope of deaths in custody. From Ida B. Wells's enumeration of extrajudicial lynchings more than a century ago to the Washington Post's current effort to count police shootings, the work of journalists and independent groups has always been more reliable than the state's official reports. Through historical analysis, Mitchell and Aronson demonstrate how government at all levels has intentionally avoided reporting death in custody data. Mitchell and Aronson outline a practical, achievable system for accurately recording and investigating these deaths. They argue for a straightforward public health solution: adding a simple checkbox to the US Standard Death Certificate that would create an objective way of recording whether a death occurred in custody. They also propose the development of national standards for investigating deaths in custody and the creation of independent regional and federal custodial death review panels. These tangible solutions would allow us to see the full scope of the problem and give us the chance to truly address it.

Lifelong Management of Hypertension
In the thirty years since the advent of efTective pharmacologic treatment for hypertension, the world ofthe hypertensive has been transformed beyond recog nition. The first change involved only malignant hypertensives with enough residual renal parenchyma to survive. Such a hypertensive could trade inevitable renal failure - unless an intracerebral bleed occurred first - for a rigid regimen which prevented his blood pressure from destroying him but which was asso ciated with nearly intolerable side effects. Over the next 20 years, increasing numbers of patients with hypertension of decreasing severity were treated with drugs that had fewer and fewer side effects. In 1970, with the medical world finally ready to accept the concept, the well-known Veterans Administration Study demonstrated that morbidity and mortality could be diminished in mode rately hypertensive patients by antihypertensive therapy that had minimal side effects. As a result there has been a major attempt to bring everyone with elevated blood pressure under lifelong pharmacologic control. It is difficult, however, to know what levels ofblood pressure deserve treatment; many who, when therapy first became available, would not have even been considered hypertensive are now candidates for treatment. The lower the pressure, the larger the potential population to be treated, but the smaller the individual risk and hence the smaller the possible benefit. The point where decades of diminished quaiity of life from treatment begins to outweigh a possible late-life complication is yet to be de termined.

Student Involvement & Academic Outcomes
Student Involvement and Academic Outcomes links student involvement to tangible academic outcomes (i.e., GPAs, retention rates, graduation rates). This is particularly important for diverse student populations (e.g., underrepresented minority, first-generation college, and low-income students) who now make up a significant portion (and will soon become the majority) of U.S. college students. The text is a valuable tool for higher education administrators, faculty, staff, graduate students, parents, students, and scholars alike. In addition, the volume is ideal for master’s and doctoral programs in higher education and student affairs-related fields and for courses that examine issues/experiences associated with diverse U.S. college students, student affairs intervention strategies, racial and ethnic diversity in higher education, and critical/contemporary issues in higher education.

Intersectionality & Higher Education
Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. A scholar of law, critical race theory, and Black feminist thought, Crenshaw used intersectionality to explain the experiences of Black women who – because of the intersections of race, gender, and class – are exposed to exponential forms of marginalization and oppression. Intersectionality & Higher Education documents and expands upon Crenshaw’s ideas within the context of U.S. higher education. The text includes theoretical and conceptual chapters on intersectionality; empirical research using intersectionality frameworks; and chapters focusing on intersectional practices. The volume may prove beneficial for graduate programs in ethnic studies, higher education, sociology, student affairs, and women and gender studies alike.

Intersectionality & Higher Education
Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Crenshaw, a scholar of law, critical race theory, and Black feminist legal theory, used intersectionality to explain the experiences of Black women who—because of the intersection race, gender, and class—are exposed to exponential and interlocking forms of marginalization and oppression often rendering them invisible. The second edition of Intersectionality & Higher Education: Theory, Research & Praxis further documents and expands upon Crenshaw’s articulation of intersectionality within the context of higher education. The text includes (a) theoretical and conceptual chapters on intersectionality; (b) empirical research and research-based chapters using intersectionality as a framework; and (c) chapters focusing on intersectional practices, all within higher education settings. The volume may prove beneficial for graduate programs in ethnic studies, higher education, sociology, student affairs, and women and gender studies and programs alike.

Public Policy and the Black Hospital
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.

Arthur Mitchell
The first biography of the celebrated ballet dancer Arthur Mitchell and the iconic dance company he founded, from a renowned dance historianArthur Mitchell (1934–2018) was one of the first Black principal dancers at the New York City Ballet and a favorite of the legendary choreographer George Balanchine. He redefined American dance through his performance in ballets such as Agon and A Midsummer Night’s Dream and through his boundary-transcending company, the Dance Theatre of Harlem.Dance historian Lynn Garafola deftly traces Mitchell’s journey from his childhood in Harlem to international stardom and his decision—sparked by outrage over the assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—to create a classical ballet company that celebrated Black artistry. Mitchell led the Dance Theatre of Harlem through more than forty years of triumphs and challenges, reshaping the cultural landscape and reenvisioning who belonged on the ballet stage.Drawing on over a decade of research, including scores of interviews and access to Mitchell’s own archives, Garafola has delivered the first full-length biography of Mitchell—a man who was ambitious, generous, mercurial, and wildly talented—as well as the first deeply researched history of his transformative dance company viewed within a broad cultural context. It is an essential portrait of a visionary who transformed the art of ballet and its practitioners forever.

Joan Mitchell: Paintings, 1979-1985
Discover Joan Mitchell’s powerful and dynamic work—spotlighted in this book as never before“An entry for one of the best shows of 2022. . . . Mitchell, then in her 50s, reaches peak form in gathering brushstrokes that flicker and burn like auras on fire.” —Jerry Saltz, New York magazineThis highly anticipated publication focuses on the years 1979 to 1985—a significant and deeply generative period within Joan Mitchell’s decades-long career. As Mitchell became even more fully immersed in daily life at her property in Vétheuil, France—surrounded by lush gardens, and challenged and inspired by new creative relationships—her studio practice flourished and her work became even more ambitious and expansive. Executed in an increasingly bold palette, the works from this period exemplify Mitchell’s nuanced mastery of composition, scale, and color. In addition to her large-scale abstract works, this publication features numerous smaller paintings and a selection of archival materials.Included in the book are several texts that complement the illustrated works. A new essay by the bestselling author Julie Otsuka recollects her encounters with Mitchell’s paintings over the years. A fascinating conversation between Mitchell and the French philosopher Yves Michaud from 1986 is featured. Reflections by the artists Shinique Smith and Lily Stockman each explore a unique component of Mitchell’s oeuvre or practice, underscoring Mitchell’s continued influence on artists today.

Contemporary Public Policy Perspectives and Black Americans
This collection of original essays explores policy perspectives on selected contemporary issues as they relate to black Americans and provides an analysis of recent policy decisions in terms of the resultant benefits and burdens to the black community. The major concern of Contemporary Public Policy Perspectives and Black Americans is to determine whether the current public policy objectives are meeting the needs of America's black population. The issues examined herein include public policies in the areas of urban crisis, Reaganomics, public employment, minority business enterprise, energy, the military, police, affirmative action, health, the economy, and futures and ethics policies. In discussing policy issues and their distributional benefits and results, opportunities for individual advancement are scrutinized. This scrutiny, Rice and Jones contend, is the only way to consider and discuss the equity of policy issues for black Americans.

Secrecy and Fieldwork
This book is one in the popular series of slim volumes entitled ′Qualitative Research Methods′ from Sage Publications and, like the others in the series, it provides an excellent introduction to its field. As the ethics of research come under increasing scrutiny the appearance of this book makes a timely and salutary contribution, arguing cogently that there will be occasions when secrecy in research is required and that codes of practice for researchers which attempt to rule out secrecy are undesirably limiting. For me, Mitchell′s respect for context and subjects brings him closer to qualitative research ethics than the liberals; his is an ethics which is grounded in reality. This interesting and useful book sets an agenda which researchers will have to address for themselves. --Keith Morrison in Evaluation and Research in Education "The book offers communication researchers some of the best recent work on qualitative inquiry in the human disciplines. Published by Sage, the leading publisher of qualitative research in the social sciences today, Richard G. Mitchell Jr. outlines a humane, compassionate ethical position that accepts the givenness of secrecy in everyday life, while arguing for the creation of existential trust as a primary given in all social research. This work brings the communication scholar up-to-date on where qualitative methods are in current sociological and educational discourse." --Norman K. Denzin in Journal of Communication "This book is a stunning achievement, a major statement on ethics, fieldwork, and the politics of inquiry. Discourse is lifted to a new level. It will become the point of reference for all future discussion of ethics and the social sciences." --Norman K. Denzin, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign "Mitchell provides a refreshing and powerful analysis of the long-standing debate over secrecy in fieldwork." --New Ethnographies "A thought-provoking and fairly complete methodological study of risky social research. . . . Mitchell′s Secrecy and Fieldwork is the more challenging work. Indeed, it establishes a new standard for approaching sensitive research topics. His approach is valuable, stimulating, and likely to be quite controversial." --Contemporary Sociology "It is a most thought-provoking essay, very well-grounded in the literature on methodology and philosophy of the social sciences, yet reasoned out more thoroughly and profoundly than any other work I know in this field. It is elegantly and tightly written-a work of great cogency and erudition as theory, but most persuasive as an empirical report because of its regularly apt illustrations from research. It should be well reviewed and highly influential, upsetting some sacred cows, debunking some platitudes, and inspiring sociologists that they can be good scientists even when not doing statistics." --Daniel Glaser, University of Southern California.

Making Foreign Policy
Originally published in 2005. David Mitchell provides a better understanding of the role presidents play in the decision-making process in terms of their influence on two key steps in the process: deliberation and outcome of policy making. The events that have taken place in relation to the Bush administration's decisions to fight the war on terrorism and invade Iraq highlight how important it is to understand the president's role in formulating policy. This influential study presents an advisory system theory of decision-making to examine cases of presidential policy formulation drawn from the Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Clinton and Bush administrations. Easily accessible to scholars, graduates and advanced undergraduates interested in US foreign policy or foreign policy analysis, presidential studies, and bureaucracy and public administrations scholars, and to practitioners and those with a general interest in International Relations.
