Nash explores in vivid detail how the assertion of fundamental sex differences is essential to interpreting the genetic data."—Bulletin of the History of Medicine"This is an important read — for anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, and STS scholars, students and academics alike. It is written in an accessible and engaging style that also reaches out to audiences beyond the social sciences."—Anthropos"Genetic Geographies illuminates how genetics are understood scientifically, politically, socially, and historically. Moreover, Nash reveals that while information can be gained through exploring genetic geographies, interpretations are inevitably shaped by current social, cultural, and political ideologies and perspective."—New Genetics and SocietyTable of ContentsContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: Geography, Genetics, Kinship1.

MJ - Ohio University Press Internal Frontiers African Nationalism and the
Book SynopsisIn this ambitious new history of the antiapartheid struggle, Jon Soske places India and the Indian diaspora at the center of the African National Congress’s development of an inclusive philosophy of nationalism.Trade Review“Ambitious and rivetingly intelligent, Internal Frontiers offers a decolonized model of global history. Located at the intersection of South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle with the idea of India, this book rescripts notions of race, empire, nation, diaspora and much more. Exquisitely written with exceptional interdisciplinary depth, it will become a model of intellectual transnational history.”“This paradigm-shifting book locates a radical strain of South African nationalism in the political firmament of postwar Durban. Deeply researched and beautifully written, Internal Frontiers reveals how insurgent intellectuals such as Anton Lembede and Albert Luthuli, influenced by India’s independence movement and the challenges of building solidarity with Natal’s Indian diaspora, conceived a vision of the nation ‘from below’ that affirmed African agency while also embracing a diverse, multiethnic political community.”“Soske’s combination of ‘high’ political narrative with material histories of class, race and sexuality is indispensable. This book is an extremely important counter to sentimental ideas about social and political relations between Africans and people of South Asian descent in South Africa during turbulent times.”

I highly recommend this volume of essays to anyone seeking to deepen their analysis of the issues and expand their notion of what’s possible." -- Bree Newsome Bass, award-winning artist, organizer, and activist"This is an invaluable collection and an essential read for everyone committed to building a just and equal society." -- Angela Rye, award-winning commentator, host, and social justice advocate"Wake Up America is a monumental achievement.

WW Norton & Co Before the Movement The Hidden History of Black
Book Synopsis“[A] deeply researched and counterintuitive history . . . Penningroth reframes the conventional story of civil rights.” —Matthew F. Delmont, Washington Post A prize-winning scholar draws on astonishing new research to demonstrate how Black people used the law to their advantage long before the Civil Rights Movement.Trade Review"[A] deeply researched and counterintuitive history of how ordinary Black Americans used law in their everyday lives from the last decades of slavery to the 1970s. Penningroth reframes the conventional story of civil rights . . . [he] makes expert use of underutilized sources, including deed books, civil and criminal cases, and corporate registries stored in the basements and backrooms of county courthouses. Before the Movement is at its best when it gives readers a glimpse of Penningroth’s historical detective work, searching clothbound docket books and neat rows of gray file boxes . . . Penningroth’s tenacious focus on the ordinary is a rejoinder to ongoing efforts to limit African American history. As he concludes, ‘The basic premise of this book is that Black people’s lives are worth studying in themselves.'" -- Matthew F. Delmont - Washington Post"[A] cogently subversive book. . . . Mr. Penningroth’s powerful thesis may seem strikingly counterintuitive, but his detailed exposition is convincing, drawing on the prior work of dozens of scholars who have explored smaller aspects of the vast canvas Mr. Penningroth seeks to paint." -- David J. Garrow - Wall Street Journal"A brilliant reframing of African American history that centers the everyday lives of Black people. This book is on my short list for a Pulitzer." -- Alexis Madrigal - KQED Forum"Overall, the lasting impact of Before the Movement will be its centralization of often sidelined contours of Black life, such as how Black people loved and experienced pleasure, faith, and grief through the robust records of Black legal lives. Black lives matter not because of their relation to white oppression, but on their own terms. As Penningroth writes: 'In this history, Black people—not race relations—are the center of gravity.'" -- Mimi Borders - Chicago Review of Books"Sweeping, extensively documented and elegantly written . . . [Before the Movement] gives us a new way to look at Black lives throughout American history... extraordinary." -- Roger Bishop - BookPage"[This b]road-ranging study showing the many ways in which Black people, enslaved and free, used custom and law to assert their rights in the years before the Civil Rights Movement coalesced . . . In a fluent narrative, Penningroth shows how these rights were negotiated and developed in sometimes unlikely contexts, all foregrounding the advances of the 1950s and beyond. A closely argued addition to our understanding of the origins of the Civil Rights Movement." -- Kirkus Reviews"Penningroth adroitly explains complex legal concepts in accessible prose, turning case histories into vibrant narratives. This revelatory account of Black self-determination opens up a neglected aspect of African American history." -- Publishers Weekly"Whether buying a house, marching to the courthouse, or tithing at the Lord’s House, Black people grace these pages in what I’d consider the most masterful treatment yet written on the business of African American freedom. Dylan Penningroth challenges our tendency to limit Black struggles for justice to their pursuits of national belonging. The result is an incredible and transformative book that has given the history of civil rights its proper and fullest accounting." -- N. D. B. Connolly, author of A World More Concrete: Real Estate and the Remaking of Jim Crow South Florida"With sweeping elegance, Before the Movement reveals how for Black Americans law has been neither a cudgel of white supremacy nor a torch of liberation. Dylan Penningroth instead takes readers inside the everyday life of law – much of it unfolding in local courthouses. Long denied the protection of the Constitution, Black Americans fashioned common-law civil rights. The heroes here are only sometimes credential lawyers or black-robed judges; Penningroth foremost celebrates how together ordinary Black folk wangled rights from rules about property and contract, earning them a faith in law that undergirded the modern Civil Rights movement. Penningroth is tireless researcher and gifted storyteller who elevates Black American’s everyday legal struggles to their rightful and enduring place in our national story." -- Martha S. Jones, author of Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America"This deeply researched book completely rewrites the history of African Americans and their struggles law from the close of slavery through the 1960s. Even at the height of the Jim Crow era, Black Americans went to courthouses, used law in their everyday lives, formed churches and legal associations, and forced white Americans to contend with important legal rules that they helped create. Their story had been a “hidden history” until Penningroth’s painstaking efforts brought it to light, and their engagement with law has left us with multiple notions of what it means to fight for ‘civil rights." -- Kenneth W. Mack"Dylan Penningroth’s new landmark book will forever alter the way we think about and write the legal history of the U.S. — an astonishing, decades’-long research effort. Not to be missed." -- John Fabian Witt, author of Lincoln's Code: The Laws of War in American History (Pulitzer Prize Finalist and winner of the Bancroft Prize)

Doing this all in one book is no small feat! More importantly, she lays out how the methods of inner work are crucial for doing social justice work and racial healing, and how our awakening demands our participation in the healing of the world. - Russ Hudson, co-author of The Wisdom of the EnneagramKnow Justice Know Peace is a brilliant new field guide, based on an ancient spiritual blueprint, that will inspire a new generation of activists to work with love—that is the greatest force in the universe and heartbeat of the moral cosmos—to bring about social justice, end racism, and create a better world for us all. - Robert and Hollie Holden, creators of Everyday MiraclesDr. Egerton's revolutionary book illuminates the Enneagram in a way that has never been done before. A must-read for all who want to encourage real justice and peace within themselves and the world. - Catherine R Bell, MBA, founder of The Awakened Company, and best-selling and award-winning authorIn working with Dr. Egerton over the past couple of decades, I have been awe-struck by her understanding of the most complex and challenging organizational issues, her sensitivity, and her incredible common sense in solving problems. She gets to the heart of people’s motivations, and her input has enabled me to set the direction for my agency and for myself. - Gwen Wright, director of the Montgomery County Planning Department of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning CommissionDr. E is diligent, nuanced, and brave in the way she does Enneagram and anti-racism work. The work she does comes from a deep spiritual and loving place within her. I've learned so much from her around healing my own heart that I now have the capacity to really be effective in the DEI work that I do. - Milton C. Stewart, MBA, founder of Kaizen Careers, Coaching and Consulting, and host of Do It For The Gram: An Enneagram PodcastWhile many have cautioned Dr. Deborah Egerton not to highlight the issues of IDEA with the Enneagram, she's elected to bravely expose all the reasons why it has to happen now. The exploratory dimensions of Enneagram combined with viewing the constructs of race and “other”-isms lead us to unimaginable levels of healing. Her book serves as a light to guide us through the journey using these two lenses. Dr. Egerton serves as the Enneagram harbinger for our times; for this, we are grateful. - Erlina Edwards, board president of The Narrative EnneagramDr. Deborah Egerton brings to her work with the Enneagram powerful and persuasive insight into how best to infuse workplace culture with compassion and innovation. Her unique talent and wisdom help establish greater communication among teams resulting in better diversity and inclusion outcomes for all. Working with her inspires confidence in her teachings as she approaches her informed lectures with warmth, intelligence, and, above all, kindness. Deborah's brilliant, funny, and highly effective manner is simply the best. - Charles Johnson, executive producer at CBS Television StudiosIn KNOW JUSTICE, KNOW PEACE, Dr. Egerton leads us to understand why we must examine how we came to ingest life experiences that led us to negatively see members of the human family; we say, "you're different than me." Journeying through the Enneagram, we see how "othering" has created near permanent mindsets. We're directed to realize that if we stay with these confined beliefs, the outcome for our families and world is perilous. This work expressively uses the value of Enneagram levels of development to help us recognize how the darkness hides within our type structures. Othering destroys all that is precious. It brings illness and division and feeds hatred. Through many personal stories, this book validates why The Enneagram is the elixir tool for this specific topic, "othering." She re-titles those souls deeply marginalized by othering as "Love Warriors," describing how we keep our fractured society in place. Yet, she offers so much wisdom on how, by utilizing the Enneagram, we can end supporting these conditions within ourselves and our world. There is a gentle healing approach to the work within these thoughtfully written pages. Dr. Egerton seeks to cultivate communities asking us all to undo societal injustices. All while reminding us throughout the book that only LOVE can transform us. Simply a must-read. - Erlina Edwards, board president, The Narrative Enneagram

Rowman & Littlefield The Presidency in Black and White
Book Synopsis2016 NAACP Image Award Nominee, Essence Top 10 books of 2015, African American Literary Show Inc. 2015 Best Non Fiction AwardIn The Presidency in Black and White, journalist April Ryan gives readers a compelling and personal behind-the-scenes look at race relations in contemporary America from the epicenter of American power and policy makingthe White House, her beat since 1997. On behalf of the American Urban Radio Networks, and through her Fabric of America news blog, she delivers her readership and listeners (millions of African Americans and close to 300 radio affiliates) a unique urban and minority perspective in news. Her position as a White House Correspondent has afforded her unique insight into the racial sensitivities, issues, and attendant political struggles of our nation's last three presidents. In Bill Clinton, Ryan saw both a savvy politician who did his best to stay above the racial fray in public, and a man privately pained from the wrongs done to African-Americans tTrade ReviewFrom her Unique vantage point as the White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks (AURN), Ryan has had the immense pleasure of witnessing history in the making through three presidential administrations. As an African American woman in a field dominated by white males, however, Ryan has brought a perspective to her coverage that both stems from her personal background and reflects the wider concerns of her urban radio audience. From her days as a rookie reporter in the Clinton White House to her tenure as a veteran journalist during the Obama administration, Ryan analyzes each president's time in office in terms of his commitment to and success in addressing issues that bridge the country's racial divide. Transcripts of press conference Q&As and exclusive interviews provide crucial insight into how each president fared on issues of domestic initiatives, administration diversity, and acknowledgment of racial inequities. Forthright and formidable, open and appreciative, Ryan delivers a no-holds-barred evaluation of the country's chief executives on matters of race and equality. * Booklist *[This book] gives readers a compelling behind-the-scenes look at race relations from the epicenter of American power and policy making—the White House—April Ryan’s beat since 1997. Ryan tells us what it was like for a pioneering African American female reporter to become a respected member of the White House Press Corps, one of the greatest old boy networks in the nation’s capital. . . .With humor, grace, and determination, Ryan shares the highs and lows of a sometimes lonely battle, to keep questions of race and the lives of her inner-city listeners on the national stage. * African American Literature Book Club *April Ryan has taken the mystery out of the White House. She tells the story in black and white. This is a rare story, but more importantly a story about America. This is a very valuable contribution to the American history zeitgeist, and a story all Americans need to experience. -- Ernest Green, "Little Rock Nine"Despite the bland menu press officers often serve reporters who cover the White House, April Ryan has always been someone who insists on spice. Her questions, sassy probing, and good humor force a predominantly white culture in that most exclusive of places to confront uneasy questions of race, equality, and discrimination. She made the scales fall from my eyes, and her work—reflected in this marvelous volume—will one day change the heart of a president she covers. -- Mike McCurry, White House Press Secretary, 1995–98April Ryan’s long service in the White House press corps has given her an intimate understanding of the value of political leverage, for presidents and the American public alike… The Presidency in Black and White is an important contribution toward achieving that political leverage—that place for us to stand from which we can move our nation toward the society it is meant to become. For that, April Ryan deserves our gratitude and support. -- Hon. Elijah Cummings, United States House of RepresentativesMost people just talk about “being in the room.” April Ryan not only is in the room, but also grabs your attention in a fascinating, personal, and yes, “insider’s” look at The Presidency in Black and White. April brings us inside the Oval Office as she recounts with humor and poignancy her observations and encounters with three American presidents as they have tackled the often slippery and dangerous slopes of race and racism in America. -- Michael Steele, first African-American chairman of the Republican National Committee (2009–2011), MSNBC political analystA revealing and important look at the presidency—and the press—by a veteran journalist who’s been on the inside for two decades. With often surprising details that defy the conventional views of the Clinton, Bush, and Obama presidencies, April Ryan takes the reader to state dinners, aboard Air Force One, and into press conferences to explore the role of race in the White House and press corps. -- Steve Thomma, Chief White House Correspondent for McClatchy

Pelican Publishing Co Warrior for Justice
Book SynopsisA couple confronts the racial divide in Louisiana. In an era when segregation was commonplace, an educated, white woman from a small Southern town fell in love with a black paraplegic divorcee. To say this match was unfavorable to most would be an understatement. Despite the animosity they faced, Kathy and George Eames forged a life inspired by this controversy-fighting for civil equality. Working with the local NAACP, George fought against racism and discrimination, bringing to light instances of violence that were hidden from the public and calling for change in all aspects of the community. This is a story of hope and courage. It is a story that needs to be read today to remind the world how much change is needed.
