Publicly, [Michelle Rhee] remains mum about her plans once she leaves the post. An impending marriage and other offers from various school districts across the country may impact her decision. An endorsement from [Chris Christie] would not necessarily make Rhee a shoe-in for the education secretary job, as Christie has been at odds with New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) for months over a wide variety of issues. And while [Cory Booker] remains popular in Newark, assuming control of the troubled Newark public school system would be a daunting task.
In an ironic twist, [Clifford Janey] was the superintendent of D.C. public schools for several years before being fired by outgoing D.C. Mayor [Adrian Fenty] in 2007. At the time, Fenty terminated Janey, citing persistently low scores on ...

JM: [Laughs] The sophomore jinx? And my nickname is Jinx! Oh, the pressure was intense. The expectations I put on myself were enormous. What Black Men Think was my first feature length doculogue. Any artist knows with their first work, it's like you're pouring a lifetime of thoughts, creativity, energy, and your soul onto a canvas, or into a record or film. So, after you leave it all on the table with your initial effort, where do you go? Where you go is back to "our" story, and while they may differ, there are intriguing aspects about dynamics in the black community today. I think the greatest advantage the modern era documentarians have is that audiences have grown accustomed to the format, embracing the non-sterile imperfections of independent expression. Just surf YouTube and you'll...

Is inbreeding unusually common in Appalachia? Here's where things get murky. Although the public and many social scientists have long assumed that isolated hill folk often marry their cousins, and some certainly do (ask the Fugates), research on the subject is pretty thin. The most comprehensive look I've found is a 1980 paper ("Night Comes to the Chromosomes [etc.]," Central Issues in Anthropology) by Robert Tincher, who at the time was a grad student at the University of Kentucky. No matter; young Tincher was a bright and energetic lad. Having dug through 140 years' worth of marriage records in a remote four-county region of eastern Kentucky, he argues that (a) yeah, cousin marriage happens in the hill country, but (b) rates vary widely from place to place and even among families i...

[...] this culinary collective or relationship of plurality in planning, preparing, and presenting meals reinforced the complex nature of food and the ways in which the quotidian language of cooking performs as a crucial mode of communicating identities. According to Durodoye and Coker, this is most likely due to the racial politics in the United States that views people of African descent as a monolithic group.2 Arguing against the myth of homogeneity among and between people of the African diaspora, this article recaptures experiences that took place during the first five to seven years of my relationship with my husband (who today not only cooks for himself but also for our family), in order to consider some of the complexities that inhere in the homes of those living together acros...

The dissemination of birth control was only one of a host of interventions into the intimate and everyday practices of ordinary Egyptians that aimed at creating reformed and modernized families and productive citizens. [...] the adoption of a population program based on contraception entailed the recognition of Egyptian women as reproductive subjects for whom using birth control was to constitute part of the duties of citizenship even as it simultaneously delineated the normative parameters within which reproductive choice could be exercised.
