Black Is the New Green: Marketing to Affluent African Americans $35.48 The general market for luxury goods has become stagnant. Given the new economic reality of the early 21st Century–not to mention the all-important new demographics of the new century–it’s bad business to continue to rely on luxury’s traditional customer base to support sales, or on tired marketing strategies and tactics. In "Black is the New Green" authors Burnett and Hoffman show readers how to follow in the footsteps laid down by brands such as Gucci, HSBC, Sony Electronics, and Aston Martin, amongst others, to become successful in a segment corporations can’t afford to overlook if growth is the objective. The total number of affluent ethnic households in the United States in now estimated at over 1.3 million, the buying power of affluent African Americans (referred to as AAA’s in this book) is currently $87.3 billion. This massive buying power is expected to reach more than $1.1 "trillion "by 2012–just three short years for a cumulative growth of 28.4 percent. It would be foolish in the extreme not to tap into this rich buying segment, yet that is exactly what the marketing arms of companies do all too frequently. Sometimes this is because the executives in a particular marketing department are unaware of the potential that exists within this segment, sometimes it’s because they are baffled about how to reach out to this segment and sometimes it’s because they think they lack the money or resources to make a credible effort at adding a whole new segment. And sometimes, unfortunately, it’s because they "have" reached out in the past but their efforts were unappealing to the AAA audience. "Black is the New Green" will show you how to attract this lucrative market and create brand loyalty and product bonding among affluent African Americans in an affordable and measurable way. Up until now, the affluent African American market has been underappreciated and overlooked. But with a sitting African American president–the time is now to tap into this market and to embrace a constituency that will have a lasting effect on your bottom line. |

Climbing Up to Glory: A Short History of African Americans During the Civil War and Reconstruction $36.98 The Civil War was undeniably an integral event in American history, but for African Americans, whose personal liberties were dependent upon its outcome, it was an especially critical juncture. The Union defeat of the Confederacy brought African Americans a simultaneous victory over their captors, freeing them from slavery and domination and establishing them as masters of their own fate. But African Americans were far from passive victims of the war. Black soldiers fought on both sides of the conflict_Union and Confederate. In Climbing Up to Glory: A Short History of African Americans during the Civil War and Reconstruction, Wilbert L. Jenkins explores this defining period in a story that documents the journey of average African Americans as they struggled to reinvent their lives following the abolition of slavery. In this highly readable book, Jenkins examines the unflagging determination and inner strength of African Americans as they sought to construct a solid economic base for themselves and their families by establishing their own businesses and banks and strove to own their own land. He portrays the racial violence and other obstacles blacks endured as they pooled meager resources to institute and maintain their own schools and attempted to participate in the political process. The family unit was also impacted by these profound societal changes. During this tumultuous time, African Americans struggled to rebuild families torn apart by slavery and to legalize family relationships such as slave marriages that were previously deemed unlawful. Compelling and informative, Climbing Up to Glory is an unforgettable tribute to a glowing period in African-American history sure to enrich and inspire American and African-American history enthusiasts. |

African Americans Academic Outcomes $75.98 African Americans academic outcomes presents the academic outcomes of African Americans related to the historical and cultural experiences of African Americans in U.S. culture. This book demonstrates how culture or the difference in culture plays a key role in understanding the difference in academic outcomes. Given the difference in wealth and other socioeconomic indicators, the academic outcomes of African American differ from that of European Americans. The argument presented in this book suggests that differences in cultural history presents differences in the way in which social factors influence different cultural groups. In turn measure two cultural groups using the measuring stick of one of the cultures (European American cultures) places the other culture (African American culture) at a disadvantage. This book demonstrated that social factors affect cultural groups differently because the historical response to cultural groups is different. Further, findings in this book support the need for more research showing factors which promote academic success among African American students. |

Fighting on Two Fronts: African Americans and the Vietnam War $7.98 The racial tensions that have long plagued American society exist to a much lesser extent in the military where the bond of common pursuit and shared experience renders race less relevant. Or so conventional wisdom has long held. In this dramatic history of race relations during the Vietnam war, James E. Westheider illustrates how American soldiers in Vietnam grappled with many of the same racial conflicts that were tearing apart their homeland thousands of miles away. Over seven years in the making, Fighting on Two Fronts draws on interviews with dozens of Vietnam veterans–black and white–and official Pentagon documents to paint the first complete picture of the African American experience in Vietnam. Westheider reveals how preconceptions and petty misunderstandings often exacerbated racial anxieties during the conflict. Military barbers, for instance, were often inexperienced with black hair, leading black soldiers to cut each other’s hair, an act perceived as separatist by their white counterparts. Similarly, black soldiers often greeted one another with a ritualized handshake, or dap, as a sign of solidarity, the unfamiliarity of which threatened many white soldiers and was a source of resentment until it was banned in 1973. Despite ample evidence of institutional racism in the armed forces, the military elite responded only when outbreaks of racial violence became disruptive enough to threaten military discipline and attract negative attention from the civilian world. A crucial addition to our understanding of Vietnam, Fighting on Two Fronts is a compelling example of the new military history at its finest. |

Sanctuary: African Americans and Empire $73.98 Sanctuary explores the relationship between U.S. imperial aspirations and the circumscription of domestic civil liberties, especially the rights of the African American population. Central to this framework is the figure of the refugee, the homeless foreigner who constitutes a threat to national identity. Waligora-Davis demonstrates the importance of this figure to African Americans, people who possess a national identity, but are despised as ‘other’, ‘foreign’ and not belonging to the nation. African Americans are effectively rendered refugees when their injuries become invisible, when possibilities for redress are foreclosed. In response, the African American imaginary has repeatedly summoned the notion of sanctuary, a space that is imagined as utopian but that too often proves unattainable. Sanctuary presents an original contribution by outlining the ways that African Americans’ challenges to citizenship and nation have failed to live up to a more human and global outlook. Black intellectuals and artists have long understood that domestic race relations are shaped by and help to shape US foreign relations and expansionist/imperialist empires. Sanctuary shows how by providing important and original historically-grounded readings of works by Melville and Du Bois, while introducing us to new sources within Langston Hughes’ writings and popular texts like the Chicago Tribune’s coverage of the Chicago race riot. |

Taylor also introduces influential and notable African Americans: George Bonga, the first African American born in the region during the fur trade era; Harriet and Dred Scott, whose two-year residence at Fort Snelling in the 1830s later led to a famous, though unsuccessful, legal challenge to the institution of slavery; John Quincy Adams, publisher of the state’s first Black newspaper; Fredrick L.
