New Perspectives on Racial Identity Development: A Theoretical and Practical Anthology
Decades have passed since our original theories of racial identity development were formed, bringing with them changes in our society and in our understandings of race and racism. New Perspectives on Racial Identity Development seeks to update these foundational models. The volume brings together leaders in the field to deepen, broaden, and reassess our understandings of racial identity development among Blacks, Latino/as, Asian Americans, American Indians, Whites, and multiracial people. Contributors include the authors of some of the earliest theories in the field. Bailey W. Jackson, Jean Kim, and Rita Hardiman here take stock of their original theories and offer updated versions of their models. Other theorists, such as Perry G. Horse, Charmaine L. Wijeyesinghe, Bernardo M. Ferdman, and Placida Gallegos present new paradigms and consider future issues which may come to challenge existing theories. Later chapters present examples of the ways in which these models may be applied within such contexts as conflict resolution and clinical counseling and supervisory relationships, and address their utility in understanding the experiences of other racial and ethnic groups. In addition, William E. Cross and Peony Fhagen-Smith present a revised and expanded version of nigrescence theory. .

In a Japanese Garden
It begins with a wish and a waking dream: A city dweller laments her confined and hectic life, then sleeps and awakens to find the elements of a serene, traditional Japanese garden mirrored in a rain puddle and other objects on the rooftop outside her window. Illustrated with original woodcuts, this wise and charming desiderata walks us through the traditional elements of a Japanese garden-pebble, lantern, leaf, butterfly-and illuminates, simply and gently, the wisdom and generosity in each. (Be the pebble. Let time shape and smooth you.... Be the gardener. Create order.... Be the rain. Wash away, cleanse, forgive.... Be the moon. Shine through the dark.) Accessible to both Eastern and Western sensibilities, this elegant and inspiring book is a testament to harmony, and to the Buddhist acceptance of nature and flow. Zen teaching tale and hymn to nature, In a Japanese Garden celebrates the gifts of serenity and joy embodied in a simple garden and available at any time, deep within ourselves. .
