Interracialism
Interracialism, or marriage between members of different races, has formed, torn apart, defined and divided our nation since its earliest history. This collection explores the primary texts of interracialism as a means of addressing core issues in our racial identity. Ranging from Hannah Arendt to George Schuyler and from Pace v. Alabama to Loving v. Virginia, it provides extraordinary resources for faculty and students in English, American and Ethnic Studies as well as for general readers interested in race relations. By bringing together a selection of historically significant documents and of the best essays and scholarship on the subject of "miscegenation," Interracialism demonstrates that notions of race can be fruitfully approached from the vantage point of the denial of interracialism that typically informs racial ideologies.

Stolen Childhood
An updated edition of the classic study that took “an enormous step toward filling some of the voids in the literature of slavery” (The Washington Post Book World). One of the most important books published on slave society, Stolen Childhood focuses on the millions of children and youth enslaved in 19th-century America. This enlarged and revised edition reflects the abundance of new scholarship on slavery that has emerged. Wilma King has expanded its scope to include the international dimension with a new chapter on the transatlantic trade in African children, and the book’s geographic boundaries now embrace slave-born children in the North. She includes data about children owned by Native Americans and African Americans, and presents new information about children’s knowledge of and participation in the abolitionist movement and the interactions between enslaved and free children. “A jarring snapshot of children living in bondage. This compellingly written work is a testament to the strength and resilience of the children and their parents.”—Booklist on the first edition

Country Women Cope with Hard Times
Rare glimpses into the hardscrabble lives of rural Southern women and a model for oral history practice "It was hard times," French Carpenter Clark recalls, a sentiment unanimously echoed by the sixteen other women who talk about their lives in Country Women Cope with Hard Times. Born between 1890 and 1940 in eastern Tennessee and western South Carolina, these women grew up on farms, in labor camps, and in remote towns during an era when the region's agricultural system changed dramatically. As daughters and wives, they milked cows, raised livestock, planted and harvested crops, worked in textile mills, sold butter and eggs, preserved food, made cloth, sewed clothes, and practiced remarkable...
Fight for Your Life
In life, we are all faced with many challenges, both positive and negative. There is no question whether you will face adversity and get knocked down; the only question is will you get back up once life hits you with its deadly punch. Coach Winston Bennett has been knocked down on numerous occasions, but refused to stay down. Through the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, Coach Bennett has fought his way back from job losses, personal addiction, and more. He believes that with Christ all things are possible. When you live for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, nothing is too hard for you to overcome. If you are determined to gain your place in the kingdom, you will have to fight. Fight for Your Life is a provocative and detailed description of what it takes to master life's unforeseen challenges. If you are lacking self-esteem, fight; if you are lacking a positive attitude, fight; if you are lacking a relationship with the savior, fight for it. Anything in life worth having is worth fighting for. Fight for Your Life will inspire you to trust the Lord and keep on fighting.
The Ancestors and Descendants of Thomas Jones

This book reveals several key documentary discoveries which push our Jones lineage back from Revolutionary War era Virginia to late 17th century Wales.
Managing Human Resources
Students taking a personnel or human resources management course often do not enter the course bursting with curiosity or unbridled enthusiasm. After all, what kind of excitement can there be in studying how to process payroll, check employment references, or learn about some arcane government regulation? It is unfortunate and ultimately self-defeating if such a mindset about human resources persists, because in today's business world, organizational success and competitive advantage come from the "people" side of the business--a workforce that is highly competent and committed to the success of the organization. The key for students in this field is to learn how to use human resources manag...
