Through her evocative paintings and narrative, author Arlene Goldbard has portrayed eleven people whose work most influenced her--what she calls a camp of angels. She sees each as a brave messenger of love and freedom for a society that badly needs \"uncolonized minds.\" Goldbard describes how the learning from each changed the course of her life in essays that offer generative moments of a life in art and social change. She also reveals ways a dominant society tried to put a first-generation American from a socially marginal family in her place--and failed. Readers will learn about the author's own self education, issues of formal higher education and its discontents, and the damage done by a society that prizes profits over people. Goldbard asks readers to consider the impact of credentialism on U.S. society and what we can do to set it right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arlene Goldbard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1613321988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613321980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Village Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Arlene Goldbard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068850827519,"sku":"9781613321980","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c4ac667-ba6e-44e8-a0b4-5094ecba2c57.jpg?v=1685421361","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-camp-of-angels-arlene-goldbard-9781613321980","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
