Come Hell or High Water: Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster
ISBN: 9780465017720 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Hurricane Katrina tore through New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, hundreds of thousands were left behind to suffer the ravages of destruction, disease, and even death. The majority of these people were black; nearly all were poor. The Federal government's slow response to local appeals for help is by now notorious. Yet despite the cries of outrage that have mounted since the levees broke, we have failed to confront the disaster's true lesson: to be poor, or black, in today's ownership society, is to be left behind. Displaying the intellectual rigor, political passion, and personal empathy...

Is Bill Cosby Right?: Or Has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind?
ISBN: 9780465017201 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Michael Eric Dyson took America by storm with this provocative expose of the class and generational divide that is tearing black America apart. Nothing exposed the class and generational divide in black America more starkly than Bill Cosby's now-infamous assault on the black poor when he received an NAACP award in the spring of 2004. The comedian-cum-social critic lamented the lack of parenting, poor academic performance, sexual promiscuity, and criminal behavior among what he called the "knuckleheads" of the African-American community. Even more surprising than his comments, however, was the...

The nineties are marked by intense and often angry debates about racial authenticity and "selling out," and the participants in these debates--from politicians to filmmakers to rap artists--often draw on Malcolm's scorching rebukes to such moves.

But this rampant commercialization is only a small part of Malcolm's remarkable renaissance. One of the...

Pride: The Seven Deadly Sins
ISBN: 9780195160925 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Of the seven deadly sins, pride is the only one with a virtuous side. It is certainly a good thing to have pride in one's country, in one's community, in oneself. But when taken too far, as Michael Eric Dyson shows in Pride, these virtues become deadly sins.
Dyson, named by Ebony magazine as one of the 100 most influential African Americans, here looks at the many dimensions of pride. Ranging from Augustine and Aquinas, MacIntyre and Hauerwas, to Niebuhr and King, Dyson offers a thoughtful, multifaceted look at this "virtuous vice." He probes the philosophical and theological roots of... Of the seven deadly sins, pride is the only one with a virtuous side.
