All the Colors We Will See
Author: Patrice Gopo
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0785216405
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Patrice Gopo grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, the child of Jamaican immigrants who had little experience being black in America. From her white Sunday school classes as a child, to her early days of marriage in South Africa, to a new home in the American South with a husband from another land, Patrice’s life is a testament to the challenges and beauty of the world we each live in, a world in which cultures overlap every day. In All the Colors We Will See, Patrice seamlessly moves across borders of space and time to create vivid portraits of how the reality of being different affects her quest to belong. In this poetic and often courageous collection of essays, Patrice examines the complexities of identity in our turbulent yet hopeful time of intersecting heritages. As she digs beneath the layers of immigration questions and race relations, Patrice also turns her voice to themes such as marriage and divorce, the societal beauty standards we hold, and the intricacies of living out our faith. With an eloquence born of pain and longing, Patrice’s reflections guide us as we consider our own journeys toward belonging, challenging us to wonder if the very differences dividing us might bring us together after all.

Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?
Author: Beverly Daniel Tatum
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 1541616588
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
The classic, New York Times-bestselling book on the psychology of racism that shows us how to talk about race in America. Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see Black, White, and Latino youth clustered in their own groups. Is this self-segregation a problem to address or a coping strategy? How can we get past our reluctance to discuss racial issues? Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, argues that straight talk about our racial identities is essential if we are serious about communicating across racial and ethnic divides and pursuing antiracism. These topics have only become more urgent as the national conversation about race is increasingly acrimonious. This fully revised edition is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand dynamics of race and racial inequality in America.

The Little Wasn’t the Least After All!
Author: Ramsis F. Ghaly MD
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1669817903
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 980
Book Description
In the final days of Christmas 2019 I had an epiphany. I will never forget that night when I cried out as I saw a vision of that "little"! Since then, I have felt so dismal and would rather bury my head in the sand! No matter where I go and how fast I run, I can’t forget that dream or catch that invisible "little" anymore! I found myself running away and I couldn't help it! I would ask myself, "To whom should I report to?", "What is the remedy other than running away?" These questions have brought me to author the fourth book on COVID-19. This series has covered the world's journey, experiences, and views since it all began. It was just a "little" and wasn’t much. Before I knew it, it had infected the world entirely. It was supposed to pass by swiftly with "little" to be done. Then it proceeded to be remedied by a face mask for two weeks, followed by just one dose of a vaccine. All the while, the nightmare never ended. The "little" invader of human cells creeped in unnoticed; in the darkness, and left imprinted memories for generations to come. It has changed our day to day lives for more than two years, shaped our daily living, and will affect our future for decades to come. The "little" wasn’t the least as the world thought, and was indeed ignored, as many downplayed its sharp spikes until it killed millions and infected hundreds of millions. The world is living in tears and terrors, broken hearted, and in fear. "What is next?'', I would ask myself, as it appears it is only getting worse as the news of wars and economic collapse are already at our door. To make things grave, many forever lost! But now, lessons must be learned and the wisdom of the past shall carry the world to the future. Over 16 sections and 188 chapters, the book represents the last of the author’s series of COVID-19 as it covers the last year of the pandemic and the most recent events. It represents the author’s views and highlights a wide variety of topics ranging from living stories, medical and political to philosophical views and experiences. The book reflects the author’s Christian and medical devotions as it covers many true patients stories, patients’ testimonials, medical events, and resident education.

Workers of All Colors Unite
Author: Lorenzo Costaguta
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252054083
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
As the United States transformed into an industrial superpower, American socialists faced the vexing question of how to approach race. Lorenzo Costaguta balances intellectual and institutional history to illuminate the clash between two major points of view. On one side, white supremacists believed labor should accept and apply the ascendant tenets of scientific theories of race. But others stood with International Workingmen’s Association leaders J. P. McDonnell and F. A. Sorge in rejecting the idea that racial and ethnic division influenced worker-employer relations, arguing instead that class played the preeminent role. Costaguta charts the socialist movement’s journey through the conflict and down a path that ultimately abandoned scientific racism in favor of an internationalist class-focused and racial-conscious American socialism. As he shows, the shift relied on a strong immigrant influence personified by the cosmopolitan Marxist thinker and future IWW cofounder Daniel De Leon. The class-focused movement that emerged became American socialism’s most common approach to race in the twentieth century and beyond.

They Come in All Colors
Author: Malcolm Hansen
Publisher: Atria Books
ISBN: 1501172336
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
2019 First Novelist Award from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association An “urgent and heartrending novel about an America on the brink” (Matt Gallagher, author of Youngblood), They Come in All Colors follows a biracial teenage boy who finds his new life in the big city disrupted by childhood memories of the summer when racial tensions in his hometown reached a tipping point. It’s 1968 when fourteen-year-old Huey Fairchild begins high school at Claremont Prep, one of New York City’s most prestigious boys’ schools. His mother had uprooted her family from their small hometown of Akersburg, Georgia, leaving behind Huey’s white father and the racial unrest that ran deeper than the Chattahoochee River. But for our sharp-tongued protagonist, forgetting the past is easier said than done. At Claremont, where the only other nonwhite person is the janitor, Huey quickly realizes that racism can lurk beneath even the nicest school uniform. After a momentary slip of his temper, Huey finds himself on academic probation and facing legal charges. With his promising school career in limbo, he begins to reflect on his memories of growing up in Akersburg during the Civil Rights Movement—and the chilling moments leading up to his and his mother’s flight north. With Huey’s head-shaking antics fueling this coming-of-age narrative, the novel triumphs as a tender and honest exploration of race, identity, family, and homeland, and a work that is “emotionally acute…eye-opening and rewarding for a wide range of readers” (Library Journal, starred review).
