How the Color Line Bends
"How the Color Line Bends explores the connection between prejudice and place in modern America. Existing scholarship suggests that living near Black Americans presents a "threat" to White Americans, which in turn influences White opinions on policies related to race. This book rejects the tendency to position White people as tacit victims and Black people as threatening, instead recasting White Americans as active viewers of their surroundings. This reframing brings a critical focus on power and positionality to scholarship on racial threat, and challenges the neutrality typically assigned to the White perspective. The book first presents ethnographic analysis of Louisiana residents caught ...
A Legacy of Discrimination
A timely defense of affirmative action policies that offers a more nuanced understanding of how centuries of invidious racism, discrimination, and segregation in the United States led to and justifies such policies from both a moral and constitutional perspective. Since 1961, the issue of "affirmative action" has been a hotly contested legal and political issue. Intended to address our nation's often horrifying discrimination against Black Americans and other minorities, affirmative action has led over the past sixty years to far greater minority representation across a vast range of industries, government positions, and academic institutions. Nonetheless, affirmative action policies in the ...

It details an innovative approach to solving the housing crisis and providing all the permanent affordable ho...

Nightmares and Copyrights
From the mind of Scott Kinkade comes three spine-chilling tales, some of which might even get him sued. Adolescent Shinobi Terrapins Young Mikey idolizes his cartoon turtle heroes. But when he actually meets them, he discovers they're a tad more bloodthirsty than he expected. Trapped in the sewer with his big brother, he must fight for survival against these ninja-weapon-wielding reptiles. Judgment Night Robotics engineer Stephanie Jimenez and her team have created the ultimate automaton to save the world. But when a storm causes it to malfunction, it decides a little termination is in order. Can Stephanie stop her escaped creation from ending humanity, or will everyone have a dark fate? A Nightmare on Mulvaney Street A horribly disfigured psychopath returns from the dead for vengeance and one-liners. Our protagonist Yancy tries to stop him, but you know he'll be back for countless sequels, each one even more ridiculous than the last.
