Few people think of a rich Black heritage when they think of New England. In the pioneering book Black Portsmouth, Mark J. Sammons and Valerie Cunningham celebrate it, guiding the reader through more than three centuries of New England and Portsmouth social, political, economic, and cultural history as well as scores of personal and site-specific stories. Here, we meet such Africans as the likely negro boys and girls from Gambia, who debarked at Portsmouth from a slave ship in 1758, and Prince Whipple, who fought in the American Revolution. We learn about their descendants, including the performer Richard Potter and John Tate of the People's Baptist Church, who overcame the tragedies and cha...
Social justice and human rights movements are entering a new phase. Social media, artificial intelligence, and digital forensics are reshaping advocacy and compliance. Technicians, lawmakers, and advocates, sometimes in collaboration with the private sector, have increasingly gravitated toward the possibilities and dangers inherent in the nonhuman. #HumanRights examines how new technologies interact with older models of rights claiming and communication, influencing and reshaping the modern-day pursuit of justice.

Consumer culture is becoming increasingly diverse. Markets are fragmenting. More bespoke solutions are stealing share from companies who innovate for the masses. Yet companies continue to use practices that assume the opposite, creating a fundamental disconnect between why a company does what it does, and why people buy from that company. Understanding what microcultures are and how they work can help counter this. This book will provide current and future leaders with a learnable, teachable, repeatable, and most importantly, scalable framework with which to drive true organizational transformation. It will help leaders get past the industry-led lens that they've unknowingly become accustomed to and explore opportunities through a purely consumer-led, empathic lens. It will enable you to create solutions for the influential microcultures today, that will shape the macrocultures that will impact your business tomorrow.

Are You Watching Closely? is the first book to explore the recent spate of "misdirection films," a previously unidentified Hollywood genre characterized by narratives that inspire viewers to reinterpret them retrospectively. Since 1990, Hollywood has backed more of these films than ever before, many of which, including The Sixth Sense (1999), A Beautiful Mind (2001), and Inception (2010), were both commercial and critical successes. Seth Friedman examines this genre in its sociocultural, industrial, and technological contexts to explain why it has become more attractive to producers and audiences. The recent popularity of misdirection films, Friedman argues, is linked to new technologies tha...
