BY BARATUNDE THURSTON Have you ever been called "too black" or "not black enough"? Have you ever befriended or worked with a black person? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this humorous book is for you. Raised by a pro-black, Pan-Afrikan single mother during the crack years of 1980s Washington, DC, and educated at Sidwell Friends School and Harvard University, Baratunde Thurston has over thirty years' experience being black. Now, through stories of his politically inspired Nigerian name, the heroics of his hippie mother, the murder of his drug-abusing father, and other revelatory black details, he shares with readers of all colors his wisdom and expertise in how to be black.

Colonial Beginnings To Emancipation
EDITED BY JAMES C. BAKER Th is wide ranging collection of American writings protesting slavery is the first collection to take the full measure of a body of literature that spans nearly two centuries and, exceptionally for its time, includes writers black and white, male and female. Writings from 1688 through 1865 include poetry, fiction, song, correspondence, speeches, and essays from a wide range of well and lesser known writers. While the pages of this volume are tissue thin, the book is small enough to hold comfortably in one hand, is very well bound, and contains color illustrations.

The Invention Of Western Civilization
BY ROBERT A. WILLIAMS JR. An original and striking intellectual history of "the tribe" and "Western civilization" that sheds new light on how we understand ourselves and our contemporary society. Throughout the centuries, conquest, war, and unspeakable acts of violence and dispossession have all been justified by citing civilization's opposition to "savagery." Robert Williams, award winning author, legal scholar, and member of the Lumbee Indian Tribe, proposes a wide-ranging reexamination of the history of the Western world, told from the perspective of civilization's war on tribalism as a way of life.
