Paperback ~ A guide and Inspiration to African American faculty
and those aspiring to a career in higher education. Opens a vital debate
about equity in our colleges and universities despite their qualifications
and talent, most African American PhDs and faculty experience unspoken
challenges in their lives on campus, and barriers to advancement in
their careers in higher education. This book aims to open a conversation
about equity, and about creating productive work environments and community
that is rarely heard in the halls of predominantly white colleges and
universities.
Lee Jones offers a starting point for that conversation by drawing
together historical accounts, interviews, research and analysis. |

 Come
Hell or High Water: Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster
by
Michael Eric Dyson (Hardcover
- February 28, 2006) The first major book to be released about
Hurricane Katrina,
Dyson's
volume not only chronicles what happened when, it also argues that the
nation's failure to offer timely aid to Katrina's victims indicates
deeper problems in race and class relations.
Dyson's
time lines will surely be disputed, his indictments of specific
New Orleans failures defended or
whitewashed. But these points are secondary. More important are the
larger questions
Dyson
(Between
God and Gangsta Rap, etc.) poses, such as "What do politicians
sold on the idea of limited governance offer to folk who need, and deserve,
the government to come to their aid?" "Does
George Bush care about black people?"
and "Do well-off black people care about poor black people?" With its
abundance of buzz-worthy coinages, like "Aframnesia" and "Afristocracy,"
Dyson's
populist style sometimes gets too cute. But his contention that Katrina
exposed a dominant culture pervaded not only by "active malice" toward
poor blacks but also by a long history of "passive indifference" to
their problems is both powerful and unsettling. Through this history
of neglect,
Dyson
suggests, America has broken its social contract with poor blacks who,
since Emancipation, have assumed that government will protect all
its citizens. Yet when disaster struck the poor, the cavalry arrived
four days late. |

Mercy Me by Michael Eric Dyson (Author) (Kindle Edition - Aug 5, 2008) - Kindle
Book ~ Others:
Hardcover,
Hardcover,
Paperback From the critically acclaimed, best-selling author
of
Holler If You Hear Me, a fresh reassessment of the remarkable
life, art, struggles, and death of an American icon. Twenty years after
his murder at the hands of his own father,
Marvin Gaye continues to define the hopes and shattered dreams
of the Motown generation. A performer whose career spanned the history
of rhythm and blues, from doo-wop to the sultriest of soul music, Gaye's
artistry magnified the contradictions that defined America's coming
of age in the tumultuous 1970s. In his most searching and ambitious
work to date, acclaimed critic
Michael Eric Dyson illuminates both
Marvin Gaye's stellar achievements and stunning personal decline--and
offers an unparalleled assessment of the cultural and political legacy
of R&B on American culture. See also
