Story
Writer Kovie Biakolo became inspired to publish Conversations for Smart People while having rooftop drinks in Brooklyn with a few of her colleagues. In her classic uninhibited style, Kovie deftly weaves through such topics as: being a woman, growing up African, the meaning of beauty, and love. And of course the essay collection includes thoughtful commentary on sociopolitical issues--like race--that Kovie often finds herself discussing in her work.

Story
With a new afterword covering the two decades since its first publication, two of Washington, D.C.'s most respected journalists expose one of America's most tragic ironies: How the nation's capital, often a gleaming symbol of peace and hope, is the setting for vicious contradictions and devastating conflicts over race, class, and power. Jaffe and Sherwood have chillingly chronicled the descent of the District of Columbia.

Story
Two days before Super Bowl XLI in 2007, the game's two opposing head coaches posed with the trophy one of them would hoist after the contest. It was a fairly unremarkable event, except that both coaches were African American - a fact that was as much of a story as the game itself. As Jeremi Duru reveals in Advancing the Ball, this unique milestone resulted from the work of a determined group of people whose struggles to expand head coaching opportunities for African Americans ultimately changed the National Football League.

Story
In May 1866, just a year after the Civil War ended, Memphis erupted in a three-day spasm of racial violence that saw whites rampage through the city's black neighborhoods. By the time the fires consuming black churches and schools were put out, forty-six freed people had been murdered. This is a portrait of a Southern city that opens an entirely new view onto the Civil War and its aftermath. A momentous national event, the riot is also remarkable for being "one of the best-documented episodes of the American nineteenth century."

Story
On February 19, 1942, following the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and Japanese Army successes in the Pacific, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed a fateful order. In the name of security, Executive Order 9066 allowed for the summary removal of Japanese aliens and American citizens of Japanese descent from their West Coast homes and their incarceration under guard in camps. Amid the numerous histories and memoirs devoted to this shameful event, FDR's contributions have been seen as negligible.

Story
After fighting a protracted legal battle, James Meredith broke the color barrier in 1962 as the first African American student at the University of Mississippi. The riot that followed his arrival on campus seriously wounded scores of U.S. marshals and killed two civilians; more casualties than any other clash of the civil rights era. To restore order, the Kennedy administration dispatched thousands of soldiers to Oxford. In The Price of Defiance, Charles Eagles shows that the stunning eruption of violence resulted from the "closed society's" long defiance of the civil rights movement and federal law.

Story
No mundo moderno temos o dever de ser belos, magros, ter cabelos lisos e parecer "naturais" diante do espelho, de nós mesmos, diante dos outros. E, para conquistar mais saúde, juventude e beleza, os caminhos científicos e industriais não cessam de se multiplicar. O Brasil atualmente é o segundo país no mundo em número de cirurgias plásticas, só perde para os Estados Unidos. Homens e mulheres em busca da perfeição corporal são cortados, costurados, espetados por agulhas, queimados por raios laser, besuntados e massageados com cremes.

Story
From the editor of the award-winning Children of Manzanar, Heather C. Lindquist, and Edgar Award winner Naomi Hirahara comes a nuanced account of the “Resettlement”: the relatively unexamined period when ordinary people of Japanese ancestry, having been unjustly imprisoned during World War II, were finally released from custody. Given $25 and a one-way bus ticket to make a new life, some ventured east to Denver and Chicago to start over, while others returned to Southern California only to face discrimination and an alarming scarcity of housing and jobs.

Story
Seit Beginn der Frauenbewegung gibt eine bestimmte Art Frauen den Ton an: bürgerliche Frauen aus westlichen Nationen, die vor allem eins sind – 'weiß'. Doch während sie in Vorstandspositionen aufsteigen, bleibt politische Unterstützung für alle anderen Frauen aus. Rafia Zakarias brillante Polemik enthüllt das rassistische Erbe der Frauenbewegung. Sie zeigt, wie der Wunsch nach Gleichberechtigung auf Vorurteilen und Ausbeutung fußt und wie ein gemeinschaftlicher Kampf für politische Teilhabe aussehen kann.

Story
Nonostante Sinti e Rom costituiscano la minoranza più numerosa in Europa, dove sono presenti da più di seicento anni, poco si conosce di loro. Secolari stereotipi razzisti ne deformano l'immagine complessiva, e gravano sulle politiche che li riguardano. Il volume propone una sintetica ma accurata descrizione di tale minoranza, che sotto un'etichetta comune include gruppi regionali, nazionali, linguistici molto differenziati; ne illustra le caratteristiche sociali e culturali, la storia, in particolare quella della persecuzione e dello sterminio perpetrati dal nazismo, e le prospettive nell'attuale situazione europea.

Story
In the six years since its initial publication, The Color of Law, “the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighborhood segregation” (William Julius Wilson), has become a landmark work that—through its nearly one million copies sold—has helped to define the fractious age in which we live. Aware that 21st-century segregation continues to promote entrenched inequality, Richard Rothstein has now teamed with housing policy expert Leah Rothstein to write Just Action, a blueprint for concerned citizens and community leaders.
