Globalization and Race
Kamari Maxine Clarke and Deborah A. Thomas argue that a firm grasp of globalization requires an understanding of how race has constituted, and been constituted by, global transformations. Focusing attention on race as an analytic category, this state-of-the-art collection of essays explores the changing meanings of blackness in the context of globalization.

Normalcy Never Again
Stock-worn, exhausted, and generalized diatribes against racism litter the American horizon. Instead of reiterating these arguments, the authors of Normalcy Never Again share fresh, constructive, and proactive perspectives in hopes of reinvigorating our nation’s ongoing conversation about racist oppression. This book is at times personal and painfully honest, but it is always passionate about telling the truth and forging pathways forward through specific challenges met with Afrocentric solutions. Readers will gain not only a renewed challenge rooted in heuristic insights but also a greater degree of historical insight, intercultural understanding, and sturdy, non-artificial hope.
African American History Day by Day
The proof of any group's importance to history is in the detail, a fact made plain by this informative book's day-by-day documentation of the impact of African Americans on life in the United States. One of the easiest ways to grasp any aspect of history is to look at it as a continuum. African American History Day by Day: A Reference Guide to Events provides just such an opportunity. Organized in the form of a calendar, this book allows readers to see the dates of famous births, deaths, and events that have affected the lives of African Americans and, by extension, of America as a whole. Each day features an entry with information about an important event that occurred on that date. Background on the highlighted event is provided, along with a link to at least one primary source document and references to books and websites that can provide more information. While there are other calendars of African American history, this one is set apart by its level of academic detail. It is not only a calendar, but also an easy-to-use reference and learning tool.
