Описание: In The Allure of Blackness among Mixed-Race Americans, 1862–1916, Ingrid Dineen-Wimberly examines generations of mixed-race African Americans after the Civil War and into the Progressive Era, skillfully tracking the rise of a leadership class in Black America made up largely of individuals who had complex racial ancestries, many of whom therefore enjoyed racial options to identity as either Black or White. Although these people might have chosen to pass as White to avoid the racial violence and exclusion associated with the dominant racial ideology of the time, they instead chose to identify as Black Americans, a decision that provided upward mobility in social, political, and economic terms.
Dineen-Wimberly highlights African American economic and political leaders and educators such as P. B. S. Pinchback, Theophile T. Allain, Booker T. Washington, and Frederick Douglass as well as women such as Josephine B. Willson Bruce and E. Azalia Hackley who were prominent clubwomen, lecturers, educators, and settlement house founders. In their quest for leadership within the African American community, these leaders drew on the concept of Blackness as a source of opportunities and power to transform their communities in the long struggle for Black equality.
The Allure of Blackness among Mixed-Race Americans, 1862–1916 confounds much of the conventional wisdom about racially complicated people and details the manner in which they chose their racial identity and ultimately overturns the “passing” trope that has dominated so much Americanist scholarship and social thought about the relationship between race and social and political transformation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Описание: This book "A Visit to Nicaea" is a search for truths and untruths in the Bible. Originally written by unknown Jewish scribes in the Hebrew and Greek languages, the Bible is the only source for many ancient and religious events. Nicaea was a small town in the 4th century AD, located near the Turkish city of İznik about 80 miles SE of Constantinople, and was the site where religious leaders convened in 325 CE to begin the process of creating the first Christian Bible. The Bible was finally canonized in 419 AD and Christianity was declared to be the official religion of the empire. Christianity at that time was only one of many religions that existed in the ancient world. Unfortunately, over time, the early Bible would receive numerous changes and eventually morph into many versions, resulting in a host of many beliefs and practices. This book begins with a review and discussion of recent scientific discoveries about early earth and primitive life as compared to what is written in the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, and then provides a summary of all the chapters of the Bible. It tries to provide an understanding of the seemingly unswerving faith that many religious practitioners have in the infallibility and power in the Bible, even though it has been shown to be seriously flawed. This book also presents the results of numerous biblical experts throughout the world who have reviewed and commented on the validity of many ancient writings, including a fascinating in-depth look into the Bible.

An exploration of the Caribbean identity through the work of 10 contemporary artists
The legacy of European colonialism in the Caribbean is explored through the work of 10 contemporary artists: Angel Otero, Adler Guerrier, Phillip Thomas, Leonardo Benzant, Lucia Hierro, Lavar Munroe, Andrea Chung, Ebony Patterson, Didier William, and Firelei Bez. Their work is inspired by products that have historically been produced in and exported from the Caribbean. The book, published to accompany a traveling exhibition opening at San Francisco's Museum of the African Diaspora, explores the complexity of the ';postcolonialism paradox'in which colonizers often felt superior and productive as they claimed territory for themselves while subjugating indigenous people and exploiting their land.
Whether connected to the Caribbean by birth or by choice, the artists use their work as a means of examining the relationships within the power structure.
