From the celebrated New York Times Bestselling Author Roger Rosenblatt,

Rosenblatt’s memoir is a genre-bending adventure that takes the reader through his own poetic lens. By exploring an eclectic group of subjects, ranging from art, music, and literature, to science and architecture, Rosenblatt is able to provide refined, subtle analyses of love, death, nostalgia, and the human experience, with a keen sense of humor placed throughout the book. Combined with Feiffer’s dynamic style, Cataract Blues presents us with a partnership that exemplifies all the curves and edges of life; Rosenblatt’s writings paired with Feiffer’s art leaves us with a musical experience filled to the brim with introspection and insight that is well worth your time.

Black Representation in the World of Animation- For Sale Today!
Do you have a fascination with animation? Film? African-American studies? Darius Gainer synthesizes all three in his book BLACK REPRESENTATION IN THE WORLD OF ANIMATION. Throughout the book, Gainer dissects animation over the last century, and analyzes the positioning and purpose of Black characters in the white-dominated medium. By choosing to discuss an eclectic collection of shows and characters, such as Valerie from JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS, Frozone from THE INCREDIBLES, and Storm from X-MEN, Gainer is able to form a clear picture for the audience regarding the marginalization of minorities in animation.
With praise from other academics in similar fields, such as Tim Fielder, author of INIFINITUM: AN AFROFUTURIST TALE, and John Jennings, professor and comics illustrator, Gainer’s work is a necessary read for everyone wanting a deeper understanding of media, and to a greater extent, the world around them.

Creating the Future Through the Past With SDSU Press
Honoring The Land: Kumeyaay Culture Publications
SDSU Press' publication finds ways to teach Kumeyaay Culture to young students
These past few years we have seen the United States educational system making leaps and bounds in the teaching and treatment of other cultures, but we still have holes to fill. SDSU Press has always been devoted to publishing works from a diverse range of cultures, and that is no better shown than in our collection of Kumeyaay and Indigenous peoples centered publications.
 |
| Tipai Ethnographic Notes by William D. Hohenthal Jr. |
 |
| Footsteps From the Past into the Future a collection of stories written in English, Spanish, and Kumeyaay |
A Teacher's Guide to Historical and Contemporary Kumeyaay Culture by Geralyn Marie Hoffman and Lynn H. Gamble, Ph.D
Of the three main works we have on Indigenous tribes like the Kumeyaay, the teaching guide to the Kumeyaay culutre is the one that is most rooted in the type of educational practices every university press should be encouraging. This teaching guide to the Kumeyaay Culture works to spread information about the past to help better craft a more aware future.
The publication focuses on aiding teachers of third and fourth grade classrooms on how to better teach and articulate the way that the Kumeyaay people live. And not only how they lived hundreds of years ago, but how their culture is still present today.
Check out all of our Kumeyaay publications and order A Teacher's Guide to Historical and Contemporary Kumeyaay Culture via our AMAZON to begin teaching the minds of our future with stories from the past.
