Believe-in-You Money
Offering a revolution in Black business financing, this book centers the entrepreneur and responds to the systemic failures surrounding Black wealth building. America has a huge racial wealth gap today. Owning a business is one of the best ways to build wealth-but entrepreneurs need capital.

Racial Inequality in New York City since 1965
In the past, the study of racial inequality in New York City has usually had a narrow focus, examining particular social problems affecting ethnic-racial groups. In contrast, this book provides a comprehensive overview of racial inequality in the city's economy, housing, and education sectors over the last half-century. A collection of original essays by some of New York's most well-known and emerging urban experts, Racial Inequality in New York City since 1965 explores what city government has done and failed to do to address racial inequality. It examines the changes in circumstances of Asian, Latino, West Indian, and African American New Yorkers, outlining how theirs have either improved or deteriorated relative to their white counterparts. The contributors also analyze how practices and policies in policing, public housing, public health, and community services have maintained racial inequality and discuss how political participation can increase social capital among city residents in order to reduce racial inequality. The book concludes by offering a compendium of practical recommendations and actions that can be implemented to address racial inequality in the city.

Tuberculosis Control and Institutional Change in Shanghai, 1911–2011
This volume is the first book-length monograph on the most widespread and deadly infectious disease in China, both historically and today: tuberculosis (TB). Weaving together interviews with data from periodicals and local archives in Shanghai, Rachel Core examines the rise and fall of TB control in China from the 1950s to the 1990s. The answer to this, Core argues, lies in the socialist work-unit system. Under the work-unit system, the vast majority of people had guaranteed employment, a host of benefits tied to their workplace, and there was little mobility—factors that made the delivery of medical and public health services possible in both urban and rural areas. The dismantling of work...
Home at Last
The departure point and underlying theme of this book is the conviction that people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities have the right to a lifestyle which is both meaningful and as independent as possible. It follows the attempts to help two young women with disabilities achieve their dream of a home of their own, supported by twenty-four hour care. Two of the authors are their parents. Home at Last is an indispensable source of information for parents, carers and social workers, offering practical knowledge, guidance and expertise, including details of planning and financing, for setting up a home-support scheme and making it work successfully. It gives an insight into the practical realities of new patterns of living in the community for those with the most profound intellectual and multiple disabilities.
