Gaïdz Minassian’s book is a great contribution and enrichment not only of our understanding of Armenian history, but also of recent developments in Armenia. This outstanding work will be one of the most important channels through which we learn about contemporary Armenian history culture and politics. * Taner Akçam, Professor of History and Robert Aram, Marianne Kaloosdian and Stephen and Marian Mugar Chair in Armenian Genocide Studies, Clark University *Gaïdz Minassian deals with a broad range of Armenian historical and political issues, with an emphasis on modern and contemporary times.

Crown Everything but the Burden What White People are Taking from Black Culture
Book SynopsisWhite kids from the ’burbs are throwing up gang signs. The 2001 Grammy winner for best rap artist was as white as rice. And blond-haired sorority sisters are sporting FUBU gear. What is going on in American culture that’s giving our nation a racial-identity crisis?Following the trail blazed by Norman Mailer’s controversial essay “The White Negro,” Everything but the Burden brings together voices from music, popular culture, the literary world, and the media speaking about how from Brooklyn to the Badlands white people are co-opting black styles of music, dance, dress, and slang. In this collection, the essayists examine how whites seem to be taking on, as editor Greg Tate’s mother used to tell him, “everything but the burden”-from fetishizing black athletes to spinning the ghetto lifestyle into a glamorous commodity.

Thomas Nelson Publishers All the Colors We Will See
Book Synopsis“With this exquisitely composed [essay collection], Patrice Gopo sets herself apart as one of the most promising and talented writers of faith of our time. All the Colors We Will See is evocative, compelling, surprising, and brave.

It’s rare to encounter a book that manages to be this honest and this generous with its readers at the same time. Every page, every sentence, is a gift!” —Rachel Held Evans, author, Searching for Sunday and Inspired Patrice Gopo grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, the child of Jamaican immigrants who had little experience being black in America.

Louisiana State University Press The State of AfroAmerican History Past Present Future
Book SynopsisIn the fall of 1983 a group of scholars met at Purdue University for the American Historical Association Conference on the Study and Teaching of Afro-American history. This group included some of the most prominent historians and educators in their professions, and at this landmark meeting they assessed and evaluated the entire field of Afro-American history, its past, present, and future. The sponsorship of the American Historical Association officially acknowledged the coming of age of black history as a vital and respected part of American history. The contributions of many outstanding scholars and educators make The State of Afro-American History, the proceedings of that conference, an authoritative and provocative examination of the Afro-American experience during slavery and since emancipation. Individual essays cover the ways in which black slaves shaped their environment, the forces that influenced the black urban experience in the United States, the evolution of scholarship
