A growing controversy in recent years has arisen around the use and abuse of Native American team mascots. The Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, Washington Redskins, Kansas City Chiefs, Florida State Seminoles, and so forth--these are just a few of the images and names popularly associated with Native Americans that are still used as mascots by professional sports teams, dozens of universities, and countless high schools. This practice, a troubling legacy of Native-Euro-American relations in the United States, has sparked heated debates and intense protests that continue to escalate. Team Spirits is the first comprehensive look at the Native American mascots controversy. In this work activists and academics explore the origins of Native American mascots, the messages they convey, and the reasons for their persistence into the twenty-first century. The essays examine hotly contested uses of mascots, including the Washington Redskins, the Cleveland Indians, and the University of Illinois's Chief Illiniwek, as well as equally problematic but more complicated examples such as the Florida State Seminoles and the multitude of Native mascots at Marquette University. Also showcased are examples of successful opposition, including an end to Native American mascots at Springfield College and in Los Angeles public schools.Binding Type: Paperback

MUST read! Best pregnancy book so far and I'm in my 3rd trimester.
Format: Hardcover
I cannot put into words how quickly I absolutely INHALED this book! I haven't done that since I was a teenager! It was midnight before I realized I had blown through the first 3rd of the book. I finished it the next morning cause I could NOT put it down. I audibly laughed and cried (in a good way) and felt the most seen I have felt my entire pregnancy (this is my 1st). I felt like I was reading my own diary and am having my husband read it next so he can understand what I haven't been able to put into words for him these last 6 months. My favorite parts were reading Daryl's takes on situations and how much of a team he and Meghan have been since day one. My husband and I felt like we have been doing things "wrong" cause he's been so involved and he really hasn't felt like he could relate or talk with most of his male friends cause they still perpetuate the typical, hands off male role. If I could personally thank and hug Meghan for sharing her story, I would. Thanks bestie ;)

Relatable, easy read, great tips
Format: Hardcover
I appreciated how balanced this book was - from personal reflection (from multiple view points - especially dad advice) to recipes to data to exercise ideas. This book was a great pregnancy tool.

Such a good book!
Format: Hardcover
I really enjoyed this! I felt at ease and so much more calmer about pregnant . Megan wrote this book so well and in a way that makes you feel like you’re in a safe space and like you’re talking to a friend . It’s raw, it’s real, it’s funny and so honest.

Eh. It was ok. Good for a laugh not for realistic expectations
Format: Hardcover
The book was alright. I appreciated the jokes and style of writing, like a GenZ approach. She’s obviously very funny! However it’s written by a celebrity with massive amounts of money. While she acknowledges her privilege, it felt like a filler line. She goes on and on about out of touch items she had during her pregnancy which really rubbed me the wrong way. I appreciated her chapter on infertility and fertility treatments. Overall I guess I’m glad I bought it and read it. It made me feel a little less lonely. But not something I’d recommend to a friend.
