Black Light
Kehinde Wiley painted President Obama's official portrait and this is an early book from him documenting his extraordinary talents. "For most of Kehinde Wiley's very successful career, he has created large, vibrant, highly patterned paintings of young African American men wearing the latest in hip hop street fashion. The theatrical poses and objects in the portraits are based on well-known images of powerful figures drawn from seventeenth- through nineteenth-century Western art. Pictorially, Wiley gives the authority of those historical sitters to his twenty-first-century subjects." -National Portrait Gallery "My intention is to craft a world picture that isn't involved in political correcti...

In the Public Interest
The contributors are major scholars in fields such as parliamentary studies, electoral studies, law reform and communication. Their findings represent the 'state of the art' in their respective disciplines, and all have here reached out to engage members of the public in the debate. The public interest is too electrifying a subject to be discussed only in the academy. --Book Jacket.

Changing Your Paradigm to the Christ Mind
This book is designed to challenge your mind set and kick down some of the sacred cows that hinder you from becoming all that God has created you to be. In the Gospel of John, Jesus made a profound statement. Jesus stated all the works he has done his disciplines could do, and even greater works because he was returning to His heavenly father. (John 14:12-14) Was Jesus serious when he said that or was he trying to appease his followers? Some may say that he was speaking figuratively, but I am of the opinion that this statement was a literal one. There are numerous scriptures to back up my contention. If Jesus statement is true, are you experiencing the power and authority that Jesus said was...
A Most Detestable Crime
This collection of original essays by leading philosophers probes the philosophical aspects of rape in all of its manifestations: act, crime, practice, and institution. Among the issues examined are the nature of rape; the wrongfulness and harmfulness of rape; the relation of rape to racism, sexism, classism, and other forms of oppression; and the legitimacy of various rape-law doctrines. Each contributor advances a novel argument and seeks to disentangle the conceptual, evaluative, and empirical issues that arise in connection with the crime. This essential reference work is among the first philosophical anthologies devoted exclusively to the subject of rape--as complex and interesting intellectually as it is pervasive and disturbing socially.
