Somewhere out there, on some other timeline, in some other plane of existence, another version of me is living the life I had planned. I picture her to be a peacefully content, self-assured supermom and a bit of a smug know-it-all-very likely an insufferable pain in the ass. I'll try not to judge her, though, because bless her heart, she means well and doesn't know any better.Jennifer Rosado approached childbirth the careful way she approached most things in life: with extensive research and thorough planning and preparation. But her expectations of a perfect labor, delivery, and bonding experience with her newborn son immediately collided with reality, and from that point forward her life was never the same. With disarming candor, Rosado tells the story of her son's challenging childhood years, her own need for control and lifelong battles with anxiety, and the ways that her son's diagnosis of autism changed her perspective and view of the world.Rosado beautifully captures the sense of isolation, loss of identity, and yearning for 'normal,' while sharing the wisdom she gains from years of experience living a life completely unlike the life she had expected. This engaging memoir is not just about what it's like to raise a child with autism; it's about Rosado's inspiring journey of acceptance, adaptation, and self-discovery in a strange, humbling, enlightening alternate universe.

For many Americans, the rise of white supremacy is a recent phenomenon. The truth is quite thecontrary. In this book, David R. Morse details how racism and nativism have been constants inAmerica, from the founding of Jamestown to the administration of Donald Trump.The most egregious example of racism has been directed at African Americans, who came to thiscountry not of their own free will, but as slaves. From the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement, toBlack Lives Matter, the struggle for equality has been ongoing and so often contested by Whites.Additionally, as various immigrant groups have come to the U.S., the public and the governmenthave responded by vilifying them, often with violence, once they arrive.This book makes a cogent argument that people who are, or were, different from the country''swhite Anglo founders have always been viewed with suspicion. At the same time, Blacks and immigrantgroups have contributed to the nation''s growth and the development of a national identity.With individual chapters for specific ethnic groups, this book explores the implications of race andethnicity on science and the Census, and how racial classifications and theories have changed overtime. Morse also looks to the future and examines various evidence that points to the role of race inthe coming decades, as America''s White population approaches less than half the U.S. population.
