Book SynopsisThe African American at the end of the nineteenth century was described by W E B Du Bois as two souls in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. In the United States today, the hyphen between these two souls-African and American, African-American-is still being negotiated. This book deals with this topic.Trade Review"Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak is a unique voice of courage and conceptual ambition that addresses public life from the perspective of psychic reality, encouraging us to acknowledge the solidarity and the suffering through which we emerge as subjects of freedom." -Homi K. Bhabha "Spivak has probably done more long-term political good in pioneering feminist and postcolonial studies within global academia than almost any of her theoretical colleagues."-Terry Eagleton "Not only does her world-renowned scholarship range widely from critiques of postcolonial discourse to feminism, Marxism, and globalization, her lifelong search for fresh insights and understanding has transcended the traditional boundaries of discipline while retaining the fire for new knowledge that is the hallmark of a great intellect."-Lee Bollinger, Columbia University"

Book SynopsisA hopeful, music-infused poetry collection from Congolese poet Alain Mabanckou.Trade Review"Alain Mabanckou’s As Long as Trees Take Root in the Earth and Other Poems, translated from the French by Nancy Naomi Carlson, is the long-overdue English-language debut of one of the world’s most prominent Francophone poets. . . . Nancy Naomi Carlson’s sensitive and painstaking translations of this powerful, important writer are a boon to anyone interested in the world of Francophone letters." * The Los Angeles Review *"Alain Mabanckou a native of the Congo and a longtime professor at UCLA, is one of the world’s leading francophone authors. If you’re the author of a novel (Verre cassée/Broken Glass) that The Guardian has called one of the best one hundred novels of the century, it may be difficult to be taken as seriously as a poet. And yet Mabanckou has also been publishing books of poems since 1993 . The present edition includes two of his most recent volumes, the first and only translation of any complete poetry books to be published in English. I, for one, am grateful, and I imagine others will be also." * World Literature Today *Table of Contents1. As Long as Trees Take Root in the Earth 2.

Green Lantern Press Fleeting Monuments for the Wall of Respect
Book SynopsisA collaboration of artists and writers commemorates a powerful symbol for social justice and freedom on Chicago’s South Side The Wall of Respect, a work of public art created in 1967 at the corner of Forty-third Street and Langley Avenue on Chicago’s South Side, depicted Black leaders in music,literature, politics, and sports. The Wall sparked a nationwide mural movement, provided a platform for community engagement, and was a foundational work of the Black Arts Movement. There is no longer any physical indication of its existence, but it still needs to be remembered. Fleeting Monuments for the Wall of Respect argues against making a monument of it, or of other historically significant events, in the formal language of grandness and permanence. Instead, Romi Crawford proposes the concept of “fleeting monuments,” asking a range of artists and writers to realize antiheroic, nonstatic, and impermanent strategies for commemoration

Taylor & Francis Ltd Hidden in White Sight
Book SynopsisArtificial Intelligence was meant to be the great social equalizer that helps promote fairness by removing human bias from the equation, but is this true? Given that the policing and judicial systems can display human bias, this book explores how the technology they use can also reflect these prejudices.From healthcare services to social scoring in exams, to applying for and getting loans, AI outcomes often restrict those most in need of these services. Through personal stories from an esteemed Black Data Scientist and AI expert, this book attempts to demystify the algorithmic black box.AI pervades all aspects of modern society and affects everyone within it, yet its internal biases are rarely confronted. This book advises readers on what they can do to fight against it, including the introduction of a proposed AI Bill of Rights, whilst also providing specific recommendations for AI developers and technologists. https://hiddeninwhitesight.com/ Trade Review"An excellent book…is every day life, practical, visionary, and opens unique thoughts and ways to solving pervasive daily problems."--Antonio Smith Sr., Technologist, Serial Entrepreneur, Leader, Author, Inventor, Mentor, Activist"This book a must read. It can be used to educate those in the impacted communities, the developers and companies on the issues, and any interested party. It emphasizes the urgent need to address them now. If not, this country – and our global society – may sustain some of our systemic racial structures. It is a call to action to address the issues and enable AI/ML to fulfill its true promise; becoming a major impetus to improving our global quality of life."—Sandra K. Johnson, Ph.D., CEO, SKJ Visioneering; Former CEO IBM Central, East and West Africa"As technology becomes a driver in delivering government services, it is essential that the technologists, policy makers and leaders understand the value and risks of this evolving world. Government technology leaders must be at the forefront of establishing the guideposts for the fair and equitable use of technology that impacts the citizens and businesses that they support. Hidden in White Sight provides valuable insights on the impact of technology decisions that are being made today but more importantly, what technology leaders must do in the future."--Teri Takai, Senior Vice President, Center for Digital Government; Former State and Federal CIO."As a white, middle-aged senior executive who has mentored Calvin on how to navigate the corporate world and was mentored by Calvin on how to better engage with the Black community, when Calvin first told me he wanted to write a book about AI from his perspective, that of a black man who grew up in urban America and Urban Atlanta, I thought it was a fabulous idea for so many reasons. We discussed making the book approachable even to people without a technical degree. Possibly even to uneducated populations. It is important that the less educated and non-technical population, especially from the black and brown community, understand how AI impacts their lives every day - in some ways innocuous, and in others that impact their health, their wealth, and their livelihood….After reading the book, I was pleasantly stunned by how he was able to convey highly technical challenges and opportunities of AI from real-world examples from his friends and community members. This is a must-read for any person of color, but perhaps more important for the white community to read to begin to empathize with the challenges of the black community…Remember AI is just math and math is not intrinsically biased or hurtful, the math learns from the data that enshrines all the bad, hateful, and harmful decisions of the white community in the past. This is a must-read for all."—Seth Dobrin, Ph.D., President, Responsible AI Institute, CEO, Trustwise AI"An excellent book…is every day life, practical, visionary, and opens unique thoughts and ways to solving pervasive daily problems."--Antonio Smith Sr., Technologist, Serial Entrepreneur, Leader, Author, Inventor, Mentor, Activist"An excellent book…is every day life, practical, visionary, and opens unique thoughts and ways to solving pervasive daily problems."--Antonio Smith Sr., Technologist, Serial Entrepreneur, Leader, Author, Inventor, Mentor, Activist"As a white, middle-aged senior executive who has mentored Calvin on how to navigate the corporate world and was mentored by Calvin on how to better engage with the Black community, when Calvin first told me he wanted to write a book about AI from his perspective, that of a black man who grew up in urban America and Urban Atlanta, I thought it was a fabulous idea for so many reasons.

Cambridge University Press Ethnic Minorities and Politics in PostSocialist
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive introduction to the politics of ethnic minority parties in Southeast Europe, and also examines social distance, migration, ethnic boundaries, and issues related to citizenship and integration. Ethnic minority parties in Romania, Macedonia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Bulgaria are analyzed in detail.Trade Review'This fascinating compilation of articles, skillfully edited, introduced and concluded by Sabrina Ramet and Marko Valenta, focuses on the sometimes bewildering character of ethnic minority politics in Southeastern Europe and the Balkans. Using up-to-date data to document 'social distance' between ethnic groups and the prevalence of ethnically based parties, the authors help us understand the relationship between ethnic problems and the potential solutions to political crises in the region.' Norman M. Naimark, Stanford University, California'An outstanding, thoroughly informative account of the situation of ethnic minorities in post-socialist Southeastern Europe. The collection of case studies transcends pure description and contributes to theoretically informed debate. The chapters span the region and inform the reader without getting lost in detail, while developing a coherent perspective anchored in social theory … The most important contribution of this volume is in overcoming the simplistic proposition that ethnic heterogeneity leads to instability and conflict.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Diversity and Cultural Competence in Health Care
Book SynopsisMajor changes are occurring in the United States population and the nation''s health care institutions and delivery systems. Significant disparities in health status exist across population groups. But the health care enterprise, with all its integrated and disparate parts, has been slow to respond. Written by three nationally known scholars and experts, Diversity and Cultural Competence in Health Care: A Systems Approach is designed to provide health care students and professionals with a clear understanding of foundations, philosophies, and processes that strengthen diversity management, inclusion, and culturally competent care delivery.

Embracing the full range of African American literature, essays explore forms, themes, genres, historical contexts, and major authors, and present the latest critical approaches.Trade ReviewA master archivist and historian of African American literature, Gene Jarrett has assembled a compelling new collection of essays for this necessary addition to the study of African American writing and thought. The volume offers a comprehensive survey of the African American canon, but also goes in new directions, giving fresh emphasis to the earliest writing of African Americans as well as to the exciting field of Latino/-a writing in the African Diaspora.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Handbook of Race Ethnicity Crime and Justice
Book SynopsisThis Handbook presents current and future studies on the changing dynamics of the role of immigrants and the impact of immigration, across the United States and industrialized and developing nations. It covers the changing dynamics of race, ethnicity, and immigration, and discusses how it all contributes to variations in crime, policing, and the overall justice system. Through acknowledging that some groups, especially people of color, are disproportionately influenced more than others in the case of criminal justice reactions, the War on Drugs, and hate crimes; this Handbook introduces the importance of studying race and crime so as to better understand it. It does so by recommending that researchers concentrate on ethnic diversity in a national and international context in order to broaden their demographic and expand their understanding of how to attain global change. Featuring contributions from top experts in the field, The Handbook of Race and Crime is presented in five sectionsATable of ContentsNotes on Contributors ix Introduction: Past, Present, and Future 1Meghan E.

WW Norton & Co An American Martyr in Persia
Book SynopsisOne of NPR's Books We Love in 2022. Longlisted for the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography In this erudite and piercing biography, best-selling author Reza Aslan proves that one person's actions can have revolutionary consequences that reverberate the world over.Trade Review"An engrossing, entertaining, evocative, and unexpectedly cinematic story, a pleasure to read in that specific way where it’s impossible not to imagine the movie or ten-episode series in your head as you go. For both the facts of the story and Aslan’s unique ability to merge literary flourish with accessible scholarship and historical deep-dives, it’s a page-turner the likes of which are rarely produced in the historical biography genre. For its filling of a major gap in the library of geopolitical history, its resonance with the present-day strife in Iran, its echoes of other historical political battlelines in the region, and its celebration of how sincere faith of any denomination can inform a more noble and humanistic view of international relations, it’s required reading." -- Shana Nys Dambort - LA Weekly"Aslan tells us Baskerville’s story with passion and sweetness." -- Tunku Varadarajan - Wall Street Journal"A rip-roaring tale of a fascinating time in history… Aslan’s vivid storytelling evokes an intriguing cast of courtiers, clerics, desperados and idealists." -- Tara Bahrampour - Washington Post"Reza Aslan has a unique talent for showing how piety and politics can merge, or quarrel, in the hearts of people. An American Martyr in Persia is a fascinating and thoroughly engrossing biography. A triumph." -- Laila Lalami, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, author of Conditional Citizens"An astonishing story that underscores the power of biography. In Reza Aslan’s lyrical voice, Howard Baskerville’s short life comes alive as a fantastical fairy tale—a wild and improbable adventure story. [Aslan] reminds us that Iran’s revolution is quite simply unfinished." -- Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Prometheus"Beautifully written and immensely readable.… Aslan meticulously weaves Iranian–US relations with palace intrigue, Russian and British designs on Persia, and heart-stopping accounts of battles between the forces of democracy and autocracy—some seventy years before another Iranian revolution grabbed the attention of the west." -- Hooman Majd, author of The Ayatollah Begs to Differ"Great read, thoughtful and thought provoking. We must all pay attention to Reza Aslan’s timely reminder that ‘the suffering of any person anywhere is the responsibility of all peoples everywhere.’" -- Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran"Aslan has rediscovered the tale of one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures of the early twentieth century.… [This story] is a poignant reminder of the extraordinary affinity that historically existed between the peoples of Iran and the United States and raises the hope that this closeness might someday be kindled anew." -- Scott Anderson, author of The Quiet Americans"A remarkable history that echoes to this day, with much to teach us about modern Iran and about ourselves. Read this book and be reminded of the common humanity that can transcend even our own cavernous divides." -- Ben Rhodes, author of After the Fall"Reza Aslan’s An American Martyr in Persia is a stirring reminder of the power of idealism, hope, and courage in the face of tyranny and injustice. The story of Howard Baskerville is as important today as it was in his lifetime, and Aslan’s lucid prose and compelling narrative introduces him to a new generation who will find inspiration in his deeds." -- Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Sympathizer"Replete with fascinating asides into the revolutionary politics of the era and the complex dynamics between Russia, England, and Persia, this is a provocative portrait of an unsung American hero." -- Publishers Weekly"An intriguing read that breathes life into a pivotal moment of Persian/Iranian history." -- Kirkus

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC British Black and Asian Shakespeareans
Book SynopsisShakespeare is at the heart of the British theatrical tradition, but the contribution of Ira Aldridge and the Shakespearean performers of African, African-Caribbean, south Asian and east Asian heritage who came after him is not widely known. Telling the story for the first time of how Shakespearean theatre in Britain was integrated from the 1960s to the 21st century, this is a timely and important account of that contribution. Drawing extensively on empirical evidence from the British Black and Asian Shakespeare Performance Database and featuring interviews with nearly forty performers and directors, the book chronicles important productions that led to ground-breaking castings of Black and Asian actors in substantial Shakespearean roles including: Zakes Mokae (Cry Freedom) as one of three black witches in William Gaskill's 1966 production of Macbeth at the Royal Court Theatre. Norman Beaton as Angelo in Michael Rudman's 1981 production of Measure forTrade ReviewA much needed history … Rogers’s meticulous study is a clarion call for British Shakespearian performance – and the scholarship surrounding it – to do better. * Shakespeare Survey *A vital read for anyone interested in the gains made by, not just some of Britain’s greatest actors of colour, but by some of Britain’s greatest actors. * David Oyelowo OBE *This is a book that I have eagerly awaited, both as a playgoer and as a cultural historian. Jami Rogers’s engrossing account of Black and Asian Shakespeareans from Ira Aldridge to Josette Simon is a fascinating and timely contribution to Shakespeare studies, providing a much needed survey of the resistance that British actors of colour have long faced, as well as the inroads they have made in making Shakespeare truly representative. * James Shapiro, author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare *Celebrating the contributions of actors of African-Caribbean and Asian heritage in the Shakespeare industry, this invaluable book contributes to decolonising the theatre and recuperating the experiences of practitioners of colour. - Adele Lee, Associate Professor, Department of Writing, Literature and Publishing, Emerson CollegeTable of ContentsNote on interviews Abbreviations List of illustrations List of tables Acknowledgements Introduction: Forgotten Shakespeareans, 1825–1965 Shakespearean pioneers, 1866–1947 Shakespearean pioneers, 1950–1965 Chapter One: “Difficult to justify this casting without sounding racist”: breakthroughs and stereotypes, 1966–1972 Royal Court – Macbeth – 1966 Mermaid Theatre – The Tempest – 1970 The Black Macbeth – Roundhouse Theatre, London – 1972 “Difficult to justify this casting without sounding racist” Chapter Two: “Why weren’t we auditioned?”: the “black canon” and the battle for Othello “Why weren’t we auditioned?” Reclaiming Othello Chapter Three: From “suitable roles” to leads, 1980–1987 “Black roles” at the RSC Macbeth – Young Vic, 1984 Leading roles, 1984 Rosaline – RSC, 1984 “Othello was an Arab” – RSC, 1985 Emergence of a new “black canon” RSC 1986 “They’re nurturing you” Antony – Contact Theatre, 1987 Isabella – RSC, 1987 Julius Caesar – Bristol Old Vic, 1987 Chapter Four: Owning Shakespeare – Temba, Talawa and Tara Arts, 1988–1994 Romeo and Juliet – Temba, 1988 Antony and Cleopatra – Talawa, 1991 Troilus and Cressida – Tara Arts, 1993 King Lear – Talawa, 1994 Chapter Five: Cracking the glass ceiling, 1988–1996 “You can’t have a West Indian actor playing a Welsh poet …” Troilus … But West Indian opera singers can speak the verse?

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Black Church in America
Book SynopsisThis book gives readers a broad understanding of the Black Church in America and a sense of its uniqueness in the wider world. Explores the history of the Black Church in America, its African roots, beliefs, practices, politics, and contemporary moral dilemmas Argues that in the Black Church, individual and communal destiny are bound together The author is a Priest in the Episcopal Church and teaches spirituality and Black Church studies at Duke University. Trade Review"Michael Battle's book is a wise and bold treatment of the most complex phenomenon in Afro-American life: The Black Church. We need to listen to his words."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd On The Nature of Prejudice
Book SynopsisOn the Nature of Prejudice commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Gordon Allport's classic work on prejudice and discrimination by examining the current state of knowledge in the field. A distinguished collection of international scholars considers Allport's impact on the field, reviews recent developments, and identifies promising directions for future investigation. Organized around Allport''s central themes, this book provides a state-of-the-art, comprehensive view of where the field has been, where it is now, and where it is going.Trade Review"To simultaneously take stock of research on prejudice and mark the 50th anniversary of Gordon Allport's The Nature of Prejudice, a prolific group of 44 authors collaborated to produce a set of reviews that will surely guide the next 50 years of prejudice research. The resulting book, On the Nature of Prejudice: Fifty Years After Allport, reveals such a rich sense of dialogue, cooperation, and thoughtful regard for posterity that it reads like no ordinary academic text. Words like “wide-ranging,” “respectful,” “scholarly,” “comprehensive,” and “truly ground-breaking” came to mind as I read deliberations about why Allport's work remains so influential today, the new insights that have emerged in the field, and potential directions for future investigations." PsycCRITIQUES "This outstanding volume is more than just a well-written and entertaining homage to the work of Gordon Allport, arguably one of the most influential and insightful students of prejudice in the 20th century. In addition, this book has managed to assemble most of the leading scholars in the field and induce them to think clearly and succinctly about our present state of knowledge and to sketch out the several theoretical issues that remain to be clarified by future research. The overall result is a volume that is simply a tour de force and a “must read” for anyone seriously interested in deepening their understanding of the frustratingly complex issues of prejudice and intergroup conflict in the modern world." James Sidanius, UCLA “Even while acknowledging that Gordon Allport continues to dominate the agenda for prejudice research, this volume's contributions reveal many new insights based on the original and wide-ranging research of the authors - often calling for revision of Allport's thinking.” Anthony G. Greenwald, University of Washington “The idea of building an edited volume around Allport’s classic book is brilliant, and the timing could not be better.” Marilynn Brewer, Ohio State University "This book is an impressive addition to the literature in social psychology... certainly an excellent 'one stop-shop' for mainstream social psychology research on prejudice." Kenneth McKenzie, Trinity College, Dublin. Social Psychologyical Review, April 2006 "All in all, there can be no doubt that Gordon Allport laid the foundation for research on prejudice. However, we think the editors and authors of this volume have successfully built on that solid base by adding their own theoretical and empirical layers, ones that further strengthen the field’s knowledge for the future."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Critical Pedagogy and Race
Book SynopsisCritical Pedagogy and Race argues that a rigorous engagement with race is a priority for educators concerned with equality in schools and in society. * A landmark collection arguing that engaging with race at both conceptual and practical levels is a priority for educators.Trade ReviewIn this text, critical race theory in education approaches its adolescence. It has moved from the dependency of infancy where it could only be made understandable in the context of legal scholarship, to the uncertain steps of childhood where it kept looking elsewhere for approval, to the exciting, brash, and even rebellious period of its teenaged years. In this text it seeks its identity, defines a new way of being, and makes adults pay attention. Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kellner Family Professor in Urban Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison A book for all concerned about education for multiracial democracy. Critical pedagogy here meets critical race theory for the first time in a substantial framing. These pioneering scholars of education and communications go where few have gone before to develop a vital pedagogy taking institutionalized racism seriously. Formulating an educational perspective foregrounding white racism and privilege, these savvy educators press for a deep consideration of major anti-racist strategies in 21st century education. Joe R.
