COLLABORATION WITH MINISTRY & MISSIONS
Check out the online reading list for recommended books from the Office of Ministry and Missions McKee Library is proud to partner with the Office of Ministry and Missions to provide the campus community with recommended books on the topics of faith and doubt, as well as a list for the 21 in 21 initiative. Accessing the Reading List To access the Office Ministry and Missions reading list, visit the library’s website and follow these steps: 1. Select Collections on the right side of the screen. 2. Next, select “Reading and Viewing Lists”. 3. On the following screen, you will see the “Office of Ministry and Missions” list. This list is broken into two topics. All items listed can be placed on hold and picked up at the circulation desk.
Select titles from the recommended titles are currently on display on the library’s main floor. Reading/Viewing Lists Much like the list created with the Office of Ministry and Missions, McKee Library can create a coursespecific reading and viewing list for an individual class or on a topic of interest. Materials in the list can include physical and electronic books and physical and streaming media titles held in the library’s collection. While articles and online materials cannot be added to a reading list, a custom research guide might be an excellent alternative. A
research guide can include links to your reading list, but also to online content such as YouTube videos, articles, internet links, and more.
Questions Please contact Jessica Spears at jspears@southern. edu with any questions or to request a custom reading list or research guide.

From Vault the
Georges Cuvier & Colonial Exploitation display at McKee Library
McKee Library’s From the Vault display this semester looks at the works of Georges Cuvier and his ties to colonial exploitation. About the Display Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric Cuvier, also known as Georges Cuvier, was a French naturalist and zoologist. Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils. Unfortunately, Cuvier’s work on racial studies encouraged scientific racism and contributed to the colonial exploitation, ridicule, and commodification of black
people. Alongside other French naturalists, Cuvier subjected Saartje Baartman, a South African Khokhoi woman exhibited in European freak shows as the “Hottentot Venus”, to examinations and commissioned a nude painting of her while she was very ill. Upon her death at only 26 years old, Cuvier dissected her body, focusing on her genitalia, buttocks, and skull shape. Her pickled remains were displayed in
the Musée de l’Homme in Paris until 1970 and were only returned to South Africa in 2002. View Display We invite you to visit McKee Library to view this display, which will be available through the Fall 2021 semester. For questions regarding McKee
