Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Born deep in rural south Alabama, in one of the poorest corners of the poorest counties in the state, the grandson of people born into slavery, Arthur N. Dunning left Alabama as a young airman while the Vietnam War raged half a world away. And then, the burden of accumulated trauma inflicted by the racial caste system he experienced in Alabama melted away when he was removed from it, leaving him free to grapple with and come to terms with it. When outside the United States, Dunning felt free to wander unfamiliar neighborhoods, eat different foods, speak with foreign people, and analyze his experiences without having to look over his shoulder--literally and figuratively. By seeing himself and his country through other people's eyes, experiencing the rich and ancient traditions of nations around the world, Dunning ended up, like James Baldwin, a new man in a new world. A person curious about the human condition. Passport to Citizenship reveals how Dunning evolved from a provincial, angry Black teenager who was very much a product of his time into a calmer, more thoughtful person. And while Dunning never despised his country like some of his generation did, he felt the magnitude of its failures, and he was determined to move past them. This is Dunning's story of how he took what his parents, who were both educators themselves, his grandparents, and his local community in Sweet Water, Alabama, gave him out into the larger world. In so doing, Dunning came to appreciate his upbringing--and his experiences--even more.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How do well-meaning people help a community move beyond its past when confronted by those who hold ingrained stereotypes, profit from maintaining the status quo, or are filled with antipathy toward others This book tells the story of how a Black university president tried to do just that when he led the first non-court ordered merger of an historically Black university with an historically white two-year college in Albany, Georgia. Arthur 'Art' N. Dunning came of age in the Black Belt of Alabama during the Jim Crow era. Among many pivotal experiences, he was part of a group of student athletes who helped to integrate Bear Bryant's University of Alabama football team in 1967. The values instilled in him by his family and those in his close-knit community, together with life experiences through education and from living, working, and traveling abroad over more than forty years as an educator, shaped his approach to leading Albany State University, an HBCU, through its 2016 merger with all-white Darton State College. The community's reaction to the merger proved to be an extreme example of what our nation is experiencing today. The perceived threat of embracing change while racially integrating two institutions brought out painful stereotypes, racial orthodoxy, tribalism, suspicion, and conspiracy theories. It peeled away a veneer of racial harmony and exposed unhealthy patterns of behavior and entrenched beliefs held by community members of both races. Dunning shares here the hard but valuable leadership lessons learned when his race and his personal southern history intersected with a university and city that were abruptly forced to acknowledge their own history--and were challenged to envision a different future.…
