  • - Race, Ethnicity, Nation
    av Stuart Hall
    193,-

    In this work drawn from lectures delivered in 1994 a founding figure of cultural studies reflects on the divisive, deadly consequences of our politics of identification. Stuart Hall untangles the power relations that permeate race, ethnicity, and nationhood and shows how oppressed groups broke apart old hierarchies of difference in Western culture.

  • - W. E. B. Du Bois and the Emergence of Identity
    av Kwame Anthony Appiah
    424,-

    W. E. B. Du Bois never felt so at home as when he was a student in Berlin. Germany was the first place white people had treated him as an equal. But anti-Semitism was prevalent, and Du Bois' challenge, says Kwame Anthony Appiah, was to take the best of German intellectual life without its parochialism--to steal the fire without getting burned.

  • av Hazel V. Carby
    508,-

    A searing critique of definitions of black masculinity at work in American culture, Race Men shows how these defining images play out socially, culturally, and politically for black and white society-and how they exclude women altogether.

  • - Reading African American Classics in the Age of Obama
    av Robert B. Stepto
    575,-

    A collection of essays that sets canonical works of African American literature in conversation with Barack Obama's "Dreams from My Father". It features the elegant readings that shed light on unexamined angles of works ranging from Frederick Douglass' "Narrative" to W.E.B. Du Bois' "Souls of Black Folk" to Toni Morrison's "Song of Solomon".

  • av W. J. T. Mitchell
    575,-

    According to Mitchell, a "e;color-blind"e; post-racial world is neither achievable nor desirable. Against claims that race is an outmoded construct, he contends that race is not simply something to be seen but is a fundamental medium through which we experience human otherness. Race also makes racism visible and is thus our best weapon against it.

  • - Native as Political Identity
    av Mahmood Mamdani
    547,-

    When Britain abandoned its attempt to eradicate difference between conqueror and conquered and introduced a new idea of governance as the definition and management of difference, lines of political identity were drawn between settler and native, and between natives according to tribe. Out of this colonial experience arose a language of pluralism.

  • - Caribbean Themes and Variations
    av Sidney W. Mintz
    302,-

    As a young anthropologist, the author undertook fieldwork in Jamaica, Haiti, and Puerto Rico. This title presents a summation of his work in the region and is a reminder of how anthropology allows people to explore the deep truths that history may leave unexamined.

  • av Kenneth W. Warren
    377,-

    African American literature is over. With this provocative claim, the author sets out to identify a distinctly African American literature - and to change the terms with which we discuss it.

  • av Michael C. Dawson
    424,-

    The radical black left has largely disappeared from the struggle for equality and justice. Michael Dawson examines the causes and consequences, and argues that the conventional left has failed to take race seriously as a force in reshaping American institutions and civil society. Black politics needs to find its way back to its radical roots.

  • - An Agenda for Social Change
    av Marian Wright Edelman
    445,-

  • - Abraham Lincoln Confronts Slavery and Race
    av George M. Fredrickson
    575,-

    This book focuses on Lincoln's controversial attitudes and actions regarding slavery and race. Drawing attention to the limitations of Lincoln's judgment and policies without denying his magnitude, it provides the most comprehensive, even-handed account available of Lincoln's contradictory treatment of black Americans.

  • av Martin Kilson
    411,-

    After Reconstruction, African Americans found themselves largely excluded from politics, higher education, and the professions. Martin Kilson explores how a modern African American intelligentsia developed amid institutionalized racism. He argues passionately for an ongoing commitment to communitarian leadership in the tradition of Du Bois.

  • av Glenn C. Loury
    275,-

    Loury describes a cycle of tainted social information that has resulted in a self-replicating pattern of racial stereotypes that rationalize and sustain discrimination. His analysis shows how restrictions placed on black development by stereotypical and stigmatizing thinking deny a segment of the population the possibility of self-actualization.

  • av Eddie Glaude
    295,-

    Eddie S. Glaude Jr. weaves personal anecdotes and meditations to offer a positive vision for Black politics: the importance of ordinary people assuming the mantle of leaders and heroes our democracy desperately needs. To build a better world, we must cultivate our best selves, not rely on the professional politicians who purportedly represent us.
