In this entertainingly informative book, Jennifer Fisher offers new insights into the Nutcracker phenomenon, examining it as a dance scholar and critic, a former participant, an observer of popular culture, and an interviewer of those who dance, present, and watch the beloved ballet. Fisher traces The Nutcracker's history from its St. Petersburg premiere in 1892 through its emigration to North America in the mid-twentieth century to the many productions of recent years. She notes that after it was choreographed by another Russian immigrant to the New World, George Balanchine, the ballet began to thrive and variegate: Hawaiians added hula, Canadians added hockey, Mark Morris set it in the swinging sixties, and Donald Byrd placed it in Harlem. The dance world underestimates The Nutcracker at its peril, Fisher suggests, because the ballet is one of its most powerfully resonant traditions. After starting life as a Russian ballet based on a German tale about a little girl's imagination, The Nutcracker has become a way for Americans to tell a story about their communal values and themselves. 606 $aChristmas$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristmas 676 $a792.8/4 700 $aFisher$b Jennifer$f1949-$01031739 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452232503321 996 $a"Nutcracker" nation$92449227 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05081nam 2200721Ia 450 001 9910778925103321 005 20120130151416.0 010 $a1-280-12053-3 010 $a9786613524393 010 $a1-78052-503-6 035 $a(CKB)2550000000088802 035 $a(EBL)862257 035 $a(OCoLC)819594614 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000614881 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12249964 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000614881 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10605280 035 $a(PQKB)10138519 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC862257 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL862257 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10532008 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL352439 035 $a(OCoLC)835936774 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bslw08204087 035 $a(PPN)187306559 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000088802 100 $a20120130d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aBlack American female undergraduates on campus$b[electronic resource] $esuccesses and challenges /$fedited by Crystal Renée Chambers, Rhonda Vonshay Sharpe 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aBingley, U.K. $cEmerald$d2012 215 $a1 online resource (247 p.) 225 1 $aDiversity in higher education,$x1479-3644 ;$vv. 12 300 $aOn cover: EmeraldBooks. 311 $a1-78052-502-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aPreface / Crystal Renée Chambers, Rhonda Vonshay Sharpe -- You go girl! : trends in educational attainment of black women / Sacha D.

Since intervention, however, the enrollment growth rate among Black males (60%) exceeded that of Black females (40%) (NCES, 2008). Needless to say, this good news was is welcomed by many. However, as Cole & Guy-Sheftall (2003) have pointed out, it may be misguided to assume that improving the status of black men will single-handedly solve all the complex problems facing African American communities. Are we indirectly neglecting Black females? And what of their future? The purpose of Black Female Undergraduates on Campus is to identify both successes and challenges faced by Black female students accessing and matriculating through institutions of higher education. In illuminating the interactive complexities between persons and place, this volume is aimed toward garnering an understanding of the educational trajectories and experiences of Black females, independent of and in comparison to their peers. Special attention is paid to women pursuing careers in the high demand fields of teacher education and STEM. 410 0$aDiversity in higher education ;$vv. 12. 606 $aEducation$xMulticultural Education$2bisacsh 606 $aEducation$xHigher$2bisacsh 606 $aMulticultural education$2bicssc 606 $aBlack & Asian studies$2bicssc 606 $aAfrican American women college students 615 7$aEducation$xMulticultural Education. 615 7$aEducation$xHigher. 615 7$aMulticultural education. 615 7$aBlack & Asian studies. 615 0$aAfrican American women college students. 676 $a370.117 676 $a378.1982996073 701 $aChambers$b Crystal Renée$0857359 701 $aSharpe$b Rhonda V$01506810 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778925103321 996 $aBlack American female undergraduates on campus$93737196 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01324nam 2200445 450 001 9910797344603321 005 20230807221141.0 010 $a0-86037-690-7 035 $a(CKB)3710000000452332 035 $a(EBL)2083307 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2083307 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL2083307 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11077384 035 $a(OCoLC)913888786 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000452332 100 $a20150725e20152003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 00$aIslam $ethe way of revival /$fedited by Riza Mohammed and Dilwar Hussain 210 1$aLeicestershire, England :$cRevival,$d2015. 210 4$d©2003 215 $a1 online resource (311 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 330 $aAn anthology of writings that invite the reader to look at Islam as a holistic way of life. 606 $aReligious life$xIslam 615 0$aReligious life$xIslam. 676 $a297.448 702 $aMohammed$b Riza 702 $aHussain$b Dilwar 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797344603321 996 $aIslam$956905 997 $aUNINA
