Book Review: The Universe Bends Toward Justice: Radical Reflections on the Church, the Bible, and the Body Politic by Obery M. Hendricks
No full textObery M. Hendricks' The Universe Bends Toward Justice is a rigorous, highly nuanced, and skillful treatment of the paucity of prophetic Christian witness and critique in the church and in society. The author, who is an ordained elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, as well as an acclaimed scholar and intellectual and former seminary president, marshals significant evidence in setting forth the thesis that things have gone seriously awry in a nation that claims direct de- scent from the maker of all things. Not one to leave the reader languishing in some netherworld of political correctness or convoluted intellectualisms, Hendricks calls by name the besetting sin and deviltry that would rend the nation, with its lofty ideals of unanimity and love of truth, into a curious, contemptible mélange of atomistic, social hierarchies that bow at the great altar of Spencerian economic and social theory. "We are living in insane times," says Hendricks, "Like purveyors of a bad Orwellian joke, the religious right and right-wing politicians have hijacked the meanings of justice and equity and cynically perverted them into their very opposites." For the author, this tattered re-inversion of the Nietzschean "transvaluation of values" has led to "bizarre and unconscionable results" in both civic life and in the ekklesia—the assembly of those called out to bear witness to the life and ministry of Jesus Christ

Metaphor For a Post-White Horizon
No full textThis project is a counternarrative, in the tradition of Richard Delgado’s The Rodrigo Chronicles, using critical race theory’s storytelling methodology. We present a discussion between a Black scholar and white scholar sharing their experiences as they explore the relationship between Blackness/whiteness and anti-Blackness/white supremacy. The crux of this counternarrative lies in the intersection between the hopelessness one Black scholar feels toward racial progress in America and the desperation of a white scholar as they process the possibilities for a post-white ontological future within the Western academy in the wake of the January 6th Insurrection. The counter-story integrates Afropessimistic thought with the creativity of Afrofuturism to comment on the uses and abuses of Black labor under the white gaze. The conclusion of the counter-story argues for the need of a post-white futurism that imagines a possible future without whiteness and a future that is also not subsistent upon the foundational abuse and overuse of Black labor.

Patterns, causes, and consequences of clustering of individual territories of the threespot damselfish, Stegastes planifrons
No full textThe threespot damselfish, Stegastes planifrons,
maintains individual territories that are clustered on
coral patch reefs. My objective was to understand the
effects of territory clustering on behavior and fitness.
Fish with territories in the center of a cluster had
(relative to edge fish): higher mating success (number of
eggs), higher aggressive chase rates with conspecifics,
lower chase rates to heterospecifics, lower overall chase
rates, lower grazing rates by intruders, and smaller
territories. Feeding rate, survivorship, and age at
maturity did not vary with territory position. Therefore,
central fish appeared to have higher fitness, which was
probably related to the lower energetic costs of territory
defense there.
Center and edge territories differed in habitat
complexity, and the density of potential algal
competitors, egg predators, and various food and
invertebrate species. These microhabitat features could
provide different quality shelter, nest or feeding sites
and thus might explain the positional differences in
fitness. An experiment in which I changed the position of
treatment fish from the center to the edge of a cluster,
without altering microhabitat, showed that position per
Se, and not microhabitat variation, caused the center-edge
differences.
Vacated space in the center of a cluster was fought
over more vigorously and reoccuppied sooner than similar
space on the edge. Settlement to one of two depopulated
clusters was preferentially to the cluster center. These
data indicated that threespots compete for the more
desirable central positions. Therefore, these populations
can be considered simultaneously recruitment limited (in
terms of local population size) and resource limited (in
terms of local reproductive output and perhaps global
population size).
Aggressive chases with conspecifics were lower on the
cluster edge than at any distance toward the center, while
chases to heterospecifics had the opposite pattern. The
results of chases with conspecifics did not fit the
predictions of the model by Stamps et al. (1987) . This
discrepancy may be a result of habituation between
territorial neighbors
