In Burying Don Imus: Anatomy of a Scapegoat, Michael Awkward provides the first balanced, critical analysis of Imus's comments and the public outrage they provoked." "Written from the singular perspective of a black intellectual with both a long-standing commitment to feminism and a deep familiarity with - and appreciation of - Imus in the Morning, this book contends that the reaction to the insult ignored the nature of Imus's contributions to popular culture and political debate while eliding the real and very complicated issues within contemporary racial politics." "Awkward's probing account analyzes the responses within the African-American community as reflective of deep-seated anxieties rooted in the collective trauma resulting from centuries of slavery, Jim Crow, and racial violence. Placing the controversy in multiple contexts, he addresses Imus's public persona and the satirical intent of his show, and delves into such charged topics as the perception of women athletes in American culture, the tradition of racist humor, the sexist language of hip-hop, and the politics of black hairstyles. Awkward also juxtaposes the Imus incident with other recent controversies, including the rape accusations leveled against white players on Duke University's lacrosse team in 2006, in order to demonstrate how sensational spectacles of racism play out in the media again and again."--BOOK JACKET. 606 $aRadio broadcasters$zUnited States 606 $aRacism$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRadio broadcasters 615 0$aRacism 676 $a791.4402/8092 700 $aAwkward$b Michael$0559527 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459194203321 996 $aBurying Don Imus$91988396 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03615oam 2200505 450 001 9910483498203321 005 20220329162942.0 010 $a3-030-55586-0 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-55586-3 035 $a(CKB)4100000011610277 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6407594 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-55586-3 035 $a(PPN)259462926 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011610277 100 $a20210511d2021 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aPublic value management, governance and reform in Britain /$fJohn Connolly and Arno van der Zwet (editors) 205 $a1st ed. 2021. 210 1$aCham, Switzerland :$cPalgrave Macmillan,$d[2021] 210 4$d©2021 215 $a1 online resource (XXVII, 294 p. 7 illus., 3 illus. in color.) 225 1 $aInternational Series on Public Policy ,$x2524-7301 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a3-030-55585-2 327 $a1.

Public Value Management: A Paradigm. 330 $aThis book examines developments in governance reform in Britain, with a particular focus on the period since 2010. We argue that the experiences of the past decade mean that public value-based ideas are required to inform governance reform for the coming years. This needs to be prioritised due to the twin challenges of managing the aftermath of Brexit and navigating through the recovery phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The volume outlines key themes, issues and debates relevant to contemporary public sector reform including: modes of state governance, evidence-based policy-making debates, the challenges and possibilities of public sector innovation, accountability issues, and the implications of Brexit. The overall conclusion of the book is that the coming decade presents an opportunity for more paradigmatic changes to UK governance but, for this to happen, political leaders need to prioritise a ?reinventing government? agenda underpinned by public value-based thinking and approaches. This book will be of particular interest to students of politics and public administration and relevant for those with general research interests in British governance and public policy.
