Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller This terrific new book…[explores] the ‘notion of whiteness,’ an idea as dangerous as it is seductive." —Boston Globe Telling perhaps the most important forgotten story in American history, eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter guides us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, illuminating not only the invention of race but also the frequent praise of “whiteness” for economic, scientific, and political ends. A story filled with towering historical figures, The History of White People closes a huge gap in literature that has long focused on the non-white and forcefully reminds us that the concept of “race” is an all-too-human invention whose meaning, importance, and reality have changed as it has been driven by a long and rich history of events.
Download or read book Letters to My White Male Friends written by Dax-Devlon Ross and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Letters to My White Male Friends, Dax-Devlon Ross speaks directly to the millions of middle-aged white men who are suddenly awakening to race and racism. White men are finally realizing that simply not being racist isn’t enough to end racism. These men want deeper insight not only into how racism has harmed Black people, but, for the first time, into how it has harmed them. They are beginning to see that racism warps us all. Letters to My White Male Friends promises to help men who have said they are committed to change and to develop the capacity to see, feel and sustain that commitment so they can help secure racial justice for us all. Ross helps readers understand what it meant to be America’s first generation raised after the civil rights era. He explains how we were all educated with colorblind narratives and symbols that typically, albeit implicitly, privileged whiteness and denigrated Blackness. He provides the context and color of his own experiences in white schools so that white men can revisit moments in their lives where racism was in the room even when they didn’t see it enter. Ross shows how learning to see the harm that racism did to him, and forgiving himself, gave him the empathy to see the harm it does to white people as well. Ultimately, Ross offers white men direction so that they can take just action in their workplace, community, family, and, most importantly, in themselves, especially in the future when race is no longer in the spotlight.

Download or read book If You Could See What I See written by Cathy Lamb and published by Kensington Books. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this moving, insightful new novel, acclaimed author Cathy Lamb delves into the heart of going home again, the challenge of facing loss--and the freedom of finally letting go. . . For decades, the women in Meggie O'Rourke's family have run Lace, Satin, and Baubles, a lingerie business that specializes in creations as exquisitely pretty as they are practical. The dynamic in Meggie's family, however, is perpetually dysfunctional. In fact, if Meggie weren't being summoned back to Portland, Oregon, by her grandmother, she'd be inclined to stay away all together. Since her husband's death a year ago, Meggie's emotions have been in constant flux, and so has her career as a documentary film maker. Finding ways to keep the family business afloat--and dealing with her squabbling sister and cousin--will at least give her a temporary focus. To draw customers to their website, Meggie decides to interview relatives and employees about their first bras and favorite lingerie. She envisions something flip and funny, but the confessions that emerge are unexpectedly poignant. There are stories of first loves and aching regrets, passionate mistakes and surprising rendezvous. And as the revelations illuminate her family's past, Meggie begins to find her own way forward. With warmth and unflinching humor, If You Could See What I See explores the tender truths we keep close--and what can happen when we find the courage to bare them to the world.

Book excerpt: It's a battle of the sexes like never before in this delightfully funny, escapist cowboy romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Brown! She's a self-made city girl... The last thing I expected out of my life was to be saddled with a watermelon farm deep in the Oklahoma countryside. I'm a city girl, through and through, and my stilettos are not meant for farming. The only solution is to sell the place before I'm stuck with a truckload of overripe watermelons, and I'm forced to set up a farm stand on the side of a dirt road. *Shudder.* But the minute I think I've got a way out, my drop-dead sexy new neighbor Rye O'Donnell shows up. Maybe there's time for a little cowboy love after all... He's a down-home rancher... Knowing my former neighbor Granny Lanier's property was going up for sale, I thought I might have a chance at my dream property. But then I met her granddaughter, Austin, and found myself knocked sideways by the sexy-as-hell, savvy businesswoman. Perhaps it's time to set aside my real estate ambitions and convince this gorgeous city slicker just how much fun a little fling on the farm can be. "A crazy fun read.

Download or read book Black and Episcopalian written by Gayle Fisher-Stewart and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A personal story of the struggle for authentic inclusion in the church. From a strong voice in the dialogue about what Black lives matter means in relation to faith, a powerful lament and a hopeful message about the future. Historically, to be Episcopal/Anglican, as it was to be American, was to be white. Assimilation to whiteness has been a measure of success and acceptance, yet, assimilation requires that people of color give up something of themselves and deny parts of their heritage including religious practices that sustained their ancestors. Despite the fact that Blackness is on display on Black History Month for example, and Black/African heritage is given primacy in the liturgy, music, and preaching during that time, at other times this doesn't seem to be the case. The author argues that whiteness is embedded in every aspect of religious life, from seminary to Christian education to last rites. Is it possible to be Black and Episcopalian and not feel alien, she asks. In her words we learn that inclusivity, above all, must be authentic.
Download or read book Get out of Jena written by Levi M. Hatcher and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-12-13 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get Out Of Jena takes a look into the conditions that makes for racial divides to persist in any modern day American society that refuses to acknowledge the contributions that any race makes to that society. Through the real life experiences of a family from LaSalle Parish, Louisiana- where Jena is the parish seat- we can see how such conditions- when ignored- can create a hostile situation. In North American society we cannot over look the crippling effects of slaverys contribution to these conditions. How it affects economic struggles, attitudes and the pride of a people, on both sides of the color line. Get Out Of Jena does not lay the responsibility to change these conditions on the shoulders of any one race or people. Therefore the adults of both sides contribute to these conditions, either by submission or omission. In the end we will see how it is the youth that pay a bigger price for the arrogance of those conditioned adults. The price they pay for their refusal to acknowledge the importance of all its citizens. The question this book asks is can any of us run away from that responsibility, no matter how large or small we think our responsibility is. And if we do run away, where would we go, and will we ever be called back to deal with the conditions we left behind.
Download or read book The Mulatta and the Politics of Race written by Teresa C. Zackodnik and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From abolition through the years just before the civil rights struggle began, African American women recognized that a mixed-race woman made for a powerful and, at times, very useful figure in the battle for racial justice.The Mulatta and the Politics of Race traces many key instances in which black women have wielded the image of a racially mixed woman to assault the color line. In the oratory and fiction of black women from the late 1840s through the 1950s, Teresa C. Zackodnik finds the mulatta to be a metaphor of increasing potency. Before the Civil War white female abolitionists created the image of the tragic mulatta, caught between races, rejected by all. African American women put the mulatta to diverse political use. Black women used the mulatta figure to invoke and manage American and British abolitionist empathy and to contest racial stereotypes of womanhood in the postbellum United States. The mulatta aided writers in critiquing the New Negro Renaissance and gave writers leverage to subvert the aims of mid-twentieth-century mainstream American culture.The Mulatta and the Politics of Race focuses on the antislavery lectures and appearances of Ellen Craft and Sarah Parker Remond, the domestic fiction of Pauline Hopkins and Frances Harper, the Harlem Renaissance novels of Jessie Fauset and Nella Larsen, and the little-known 1950s texts of Dorothy Lee Dickens and Reba Lee. Throughout, the author discovers the especially valuable and as yet unexplored contributions of these black women and their uses of the mulatta in prose and speech.Teresa C. Zackodnik is a professor of English at the University of Alberta in Canada.
