Market Time Conspiracy
BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FLINT BLUFF He came from a humble background, a farm kid with the ethics and core values that are so prevalent in the Midwest. Following high school, Buddy Miller joined the Navy during the Vietnam War, and while serving on a ship in Southeast Asia, an incident occurs that will affect him for the next decade. With courage, he faces and manages the disability of PTSD and confronts the ghosts of his past. Returning to civilian life, Buddy becomes hugely successful, but continues to deal with the symptoms of his disability. With the loyalty of good friends and the help of a beautiful woman, he faces his life's most difficult challenge. In Market Time Conspiracy, James Duermeyer tells a rare story—a glimpse into the life of a man facing his worst nightmare. It is a wonderful, heart-felt story that gives the reader a look into the disability of PTSD. But the story is much more than that. It is a story woven from a young boy's growth into manhood, war, friendship, humor, perseverance, entrepreneurship, genius, and most importantly, love.
Lockstep and Dance
Lockstep and Dance: Images of Black Men in Popular Culture examines popular culture's reliance on long-standing stereotypes of black men as animalistic, hypersexual, dangerous criminals, whose bodies, dress, actions, attitudes, and language both repel and attract white audiences.

Of equal importance are the ways i...

In The Colorblind Screen, the contributors examine television’s role as the major discursive medium in the articulation and contestation of racialized identities in the Uni...
Out of Bounds
This collection of essays highlights the controversies surrounding racism in sports and African American athletes, examining the racial discrimination that exists in one of the most public arenas in the 21st century. Despite increasing diversity in the American population, race and racial bias continue to be significant issues in the United States. Sports—one of the most visible and important subsets of American culture—directly reflect our society's beliefs about race. This book examines racial controversy and conflict in various sports in the United States in both previous eras as well as the current "Age of Obama." The essays in the work explain how racial ideologies are created and recreated in all areas of public life, including the world of sports. The authors address a wide range of sports, including ones where racial minorities are in the numerical minority, such as hockey. Specific topics covered include the devaluation of black athletes, racism in Major League Baseball, and the treatment of black female athletes.
