  • The Future of the Raceby Henry Louis Jr Gates; Cornel West

    Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2011; US$ 13.95

    Almost one-hundred years ago, W.E.B. Du Bois proposed the notion of the "talented tenth," an African American elite that would serve as leaders and models for the larger black community. In this unprecedented collaboration, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Cornel West--two of Du Bois's most prominent intellectual descendants--reassess that relationship... more...

  • In Search of the Black Fantasticby Richard Iton

    Oxford University Press, USA 2008; US$ 19.99

    Prior to the 1960s, when African Americans had little access to formal political power, black popular culture emerged as a tool to forge community and effect political change. However, with the new avenues opened to African Americans in the post-Civil Rights era, many believe the influence of black popular culture on the political sphere began to diminish... more...

  • Parting the Watersby Taylor Branch

    Simon & Schuster 2007; US$ 22.00

    Hailed as the most masterful story ever told of the American civil rights movement, Parting the Waters is destined to endure for generations. Moving from the fiery political baptism of Martin Luther King, Jr., to the corridors of Camelot where the Kennedy brothers weighed demands for justice against the deceptions of J. Edgar Hoover, here is a... more...

  • Looking for Leroyby Mark Anthony Neal

    NYU Press 2013; US$ 65.00

    Mark Anthony Neal’s Looking for Leroy is an engaging and provocative analysis of the complex ways in which black masculinity has been read and misread through contemporary American popular culture. Neal argues that black men and boys are bound, in profound ways, to and by their legibility. The most “legible” black male bodies are... more...

  • Stuck in Placeby Patrick Sharkey

    University of Chicago Press 2013; US$ 30.00

      In the 1960s, many believed that the civil rights movement’s successes would foster a new era of racial equality in America. Four decades later, the degree of racial inequality has barely changed. To understand what went wrong, Patrick Sharkey argues that we have to understand what has happened to African American communities over the... more...

  • Die Obama-Methodeby Laszlo Trankovits

    FAZ Institut 2009; US$ 24.13

    Hauptbeschreibung Wie keinem anderen zuvor ist es Barack Obama gelungen, die modernen Kommunikationsmittel für sich zu nutzen und somit zum mächtigsten Mann der Welt zu werden. Das Web 2.0 eröffnet Wirtschaft und Politik zahlreiche neue Möglichkeiten. Aber die meisten Manager und Kommunikationsfachleute ahnen noch gar nicht, welche neuen Herausforderungen... more...

  • Protestfreie Zonen?by Horst Meier

    BWV Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag 2012; US$ 37.47

    Hauptbeschreibung Wer in Freiheit leben möchte, sollte bereit sein, ein kalkuliertes Risiko einzugehen. Das klingt nicht spektakulär. Doch man muss nur fragen, ob Hassprediger Meinungsfreiheit oder Rechtsradikale Versammlungsfreiheit genießen, ob mutmaßliche Terroristen mit einem "Feindstrafrecht" überzogen, ja gefoltert werden dürfen oder ob die... more...

  • Black Nationalism in American Politics and Thoughtby Dean E. Robinson

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 25.00

    Black Nationalism in American Politics and Thought revisits the arguments in support of separate black statehood from the mid-nineteenth century up to the present, detailing the ways black nationalism mirrors broader currents in US politics.
