Scripting the Black Masculine Body
Winner of the 2007 Everett Lee Hunt Award presented by the Eastern Communication Association Scripting the Black Masculine Body traces the origins of Black body politics in the United States and its contemporary manifestations in popular cultural productions. From early blackface cinema through contemporary portrayals of the Black body in hip-hop music and film, Ronald L. Jackson II examines how African American identities have been socially constructed, constituted, and publicly understood, and argues that popular music artists and film producers often are complicit with Black body stereotypes. Jackson offers a communicative perspective on body politics through a blend of social scientific and humanities approaches and offers possibilities for the liberation of the Black body from its current ineffectual and paralyzing representations.

Where Witch Birds Fly
This novel permits insight into the strange and horrific civil war that erupted in Sierra Leone in the 1990s in the twilight of the Cold War, leading ultimately to a UN War Crimes Tribunal for Crimes Against Humanity. It captures the toxic brew of forces that ultimately unleashed a conflagration in this small West African nation––Big Oil, Big Diamonds, competing external powers, foreign mercenaries, and the local dominant Lebanese trading community– –all pillaging and degrading the African population’s assets and destroying its chances for development until, not surprisingly, a brutal insurrection breaks out. The protagonist, Richard White, is an African-American international lawy...

A Quantitative Analysis of Seabed Sheer Modulus Inversions from Experiments on the New Jersey Shelf in August 1986
Bottom Shear Modulus Profiler (BSMP) experiments were performed on the New Jersey shelf in August, 1986 as part of a multi-institutional project to measure sediment shear properties. This report presents a detailed discussion of the experimental procedure, data reduction, and inversion technique used to extract the shear modulus with depth profile. A complete summary of the final experimental results is given, including estimates of uncertainty and resolution. Comparisons are made between some of the better final results and geological survey data. A further check on sediment shear properties is made based on laboratory analysis of core samples taken from the experiment site. Some of the inversion results were in excellent agreement with the reference geological survey data, indicating that this apparatus and method is capable of discerning both the magnitude and depth structure of the sediment sheer modulus. The best results were obtained by burying the apparatus in a few centimeters of sediment.
Achieving Workers' Rights in the Global Economy
The world was shocked in April 2013 when more than 1100 garment workers lost their lives in the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory complex in Dhaka. It was the worst industrial tragedy in the two-hundred-year history of mass apparel manufacture. This so-called accident was, in fact, just waiting to happen, and not merely because of the corruption and exploitation of workers so common in the garment industry. In Achieving Workers' Rights in the Global Economy, Richard P. Appelbaum and Nelson Lichtenstein argue that such tragic events, as well as the low wages, poor working conditions, and voicelessness endemic to the vast majority of workers who labor in the export industries of the global So...
