The Fifth Star: Ohio's Fight for Women's Right to Vote by Jamie C. Capuzza chronicles the significant contributions of Ohio's suffragists in the broader women's rights movement in the United States. The book explores the evolution of the movement across different eras, such as the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era, highlighting the strategic efforts and challenges faced by women in their struggle for suffrage. It details the historical context of Ohio as a pivotal state in advocating for women's rights, including early political activism against the Indian Removal Act. This narrative is both an homage to the resilience of Ohio's suffragists and an examination of how they helped shape the political landscape. The book is aimed at readers interested in women's history, political science, and social justice.

Federal, state, and local initiatives have encouraged education and training providers to build stackable credentials, a series of postsecondary credentials that can be earned over time and that build on each other to prepare individuals for different needs for knowledge and skills throughout a career. By offering flexible pathways that allow individuals to earn credentials incrementally and work as they earn credentials, stackable credentials can advance economic and educational opportunity for low-income individuals and other groups that have not been well served in traditional degree programs. However, there is limited evidence on whether low-income individuals are benefiting from stacking credentials and whether low-income individuals face systemic barriers to equity within stackable credential pipelines. In this report, the authors take a mixed methods approach to examining stackable credential equity in Colorado and Ohio, two states pursuing stackable credential initiatives. The authors analyzed administrative data to describe patterns in credential-stacking and in earnings for low-income individuals relative to middle- and high-income individuals. They identify four potential systemic barriers to equity within stackable credential pipelines and interview key stakeholders to learn more about factors contributing to these barriers and discuss options to ensure equitable opportunities to stack credentials across fields of study and institutions.

"Racial capitalism, invisible but threaded throughout the world, shapes our lives. Focusing on the experiences of white, Black, and Latinx residents of Cincinnati, Sarah Mayorga argues that residents' interpretations of their circumstances, what she calls urban specters, are often partial recognitions of the exploitation and dehumanization produced by racial capitalism. Much scholarly work on racial capitalism has necessarily focused on historical, theoretical, and macro-level accounts. Mayorga takes these vital insights and applies them to two contemporary working-class neighborhoods, centering the lives of working-class and poor people. Using data from interviews with 117 residents, Mayorga maps how racial capitalism creates the everyday harms people know all too well. Chronic underdevelopment, private property, and policing, she shows, have produced these harms. In this enlightening book, Mayorga identifies small windows into abolitionist possibilities that create different types of relations, ones based on care and connection. This is a guide for anyone trying to understand urban inequality, but also more importantly, for how we might create a different world."--Provided by publisher.

"Twenty-six species of the beetle family Lampyridae, commonly known as fireflies, paapaskile'fi in the Shawnee language, have been identified in the water-worn hollows and foothills of Appalachian Ohio; nineteen communicate with bioluminescent courtship displays. These flash codes--which vary in color, pattern, and duration, and by habitat, hour of night, and time of season--appear for a brief moment on warm nights in late spring and summer, at the very end of a firefly's one- to two-year life cycle. Male fireflies broadcast their signals, which females see and respond to from discreet places; if she answers his call, they will mate, and she will lay eggs, before their deaths. I maintained a watch of these displays over four successive summers, from 2019 to 2022." "Recorded with an exposure ranging from several seconds to an hour ..."--Page 76.

"In Illusions of Progress, Brent Cebul traces the rise of what he terms "supply side liberalism," a powerful and enduring orientation toward politics and the economy, race and poverty, that united local chambers of commerce, liberal policymakers and economists, and urban and rural economic planners. Beginning in the late 1930s, New Dealers tied expansive aspirations for social and, later, racial progress to a variety of economic development initiatives. In communities across the country, otherwise conservative business elites administered liberal public works, urban redevelopment, and housing programs. But by binding national visions of progress to the local interests of capital, liberals often entrenched the very inequalities of power and opportunity they imagined their programs solving. When President Lyndon Johnson launched the War on Poverty-which prioritized direct partnerships with poor and racially marginalized citizens-businesspeople, Republicans, and soon, a rising generation of New Democrats sought to rein in its seeming excesses by reinventing and redeploying many of the policy tools and commitments pioneered on liberalism's supply side: public private partnerships, market-oriented solutions, fiscal "realism," and, above all, subsidies for business-led growth now promised to blunt, and perhaps ultimately replace, programs for poor and marginalized Americans. In this wide-ranging book, Brent Cebul illuminates the often-overlooked structures of governance, markets, and public debt through which America's warring political ideologies have been expressed and transformed. From Washington, D.C. to the declining Rustbelt and emerging Sunbelt and back again,Illusions of Progress reveals the centrality of public and private forms of profit that have defined the enduring boundaries of American politics, opportunity, and inequality-in an era of liberal ascendence and an age of neoliberal retrenchment"--
