In a series of case studies, Beverly A. James and Patrick J. Daley's Cultural Politics and the Mass Media elegantly reveals how newspapers, radio stations and television programs became strategic sites of Native resistance to the economic and cultural agendas of non-Native settlers. Through these empirically-grounded studies, the authors demonstrate that freedom for indigenous peoples is not only premised on control over their political economy, but also on their capacity to tell their own stories. In so doing, they develop a powerful, historically grounded argument for understanding cultural persistence as a valuable and vital form of self-determination.

Listening to a small child describe a parent's murder can tax the most seasoned professional. Cases of physical and sexual abuse where trauma was deliberately inflicted can particularly challenge a practitioner's defenses.
Treating Traumatized Children is the first handbook to provide specific guidance and tools for treating children who have been traumatized by physical and sexual abuse, disaster, divorce, or witnessing violent events. This book will provide helping professionals with a clear blueprint for assessing the impact of trauma and developing specific treatment plans.
Beverly James, a specialist in evaluating and treating traumatized children, outlines creative exercises and techniques that will enable clinicians to join with children in slowly and carefully reviewing their experiences and helping them understand and accept their feelings related to the trauma. Art, play, and drama techniques, among others, are presented in a sophisticated yet straightforward style, useful to clinicians with specialized training in such techniques or those using them for the first time.

"Despite the increasing awareness of the destructive effects of sexual abuse of children, there have been few definitive, clear models that professionals can use to order the work that needs to be done. In -Treating Sexually Abused Children and their Families-, Beverly James and Maria Nasjleti provide a carefully designed and effective intervention system that can help professionals in many fields to work with both the victim of sexual abuse and the victimizer. The clarity of the book allows us all - professionals in the fields of child education, psychology, social work, juvenile justice, and parent education - to understand clearly the task before us. Objective criteria for assessing the results of our work are succinctly and carefully outlined. A sequence of therapeutic interventions, valuable notes on the techniques and skills needed, and an encyclopedia of eclectic approaches to difficult issues combine to make this small book very large and significant in scope, depth, and value. The presence of a coherent treatment plan for families engaged in sexual abuse allows those responsible for making legal decisions to be aware that a feasible plan of action exists: that rehabilitation may be a viable choice as the long-term removal of the child or the abuser from the family or the incarceration of the abuser" ...
