Librarians With Spines

Beschreibung

The editors behind the Librarian with Spines series have released the third volume in this popular series. Volume III of LWS is another anthology-this time, 5 essays on radical librarianship and a Spanglish interview with Oregon Library Superstar Star Khan-that engages with critical topics and themes that explore what it means to "librarian" on behalf of marginalized and under-represented communities. From Andrew Barber and Michelle Gohr's indictment of the Neoliberal Academic Library to Oleg Kagan's championing of the library as a space for immigrant empowerment to Yesenia Villar's courageous essay confronting racism and oppression in public librarianship to Jason Alston's decimation of armchair advocacy vis-a-vis delusions of grandeur common in librarianship to Roland Barksdale-Hall's refl ections on creating empowerment curriculum for residents in public housing. The five chapters and interview are not only singular and innovative, but they exert ideas in librarianship that are generative, dynamic, far-reaching, community-centered, and resonate with BIPOC Librarians and allies alike. Edited by Max Macias, Yago Cura and co-edited by Westley Reason, volume 3 seeks to resuscitate the radical breath and inspiration that was put out into the world with Librarians with Spines, volumes 1 and 2.
