Interracial Relationships In The 21st Century $28.95 Interracial Relationships in the 21st Century is a unique set of essays – both personal and research based – that explore a variety of issues related to interracial couplings in the 21st Century United States. Edited by Earl Smith and Angela Hattery, professors of sociology at Wake Forest University, this volume brings together the leading scholars in both the social sciences and the humanities who explore interracialities. The chapters cover a wide range of topics related to navigating interracial relationships, including a chapter by George Yancey and colleagues that focuses on the tensions around interracial relationships in conservative Christian churches, to the role that racism and patriarchy play in shaping intimate partner violence among interracial couples – Smith and Hattery’s own contribution. Kerry Ann Rockquemore and Tracey A. Laszloffy focus on the children of interracial unions and their attempts to negotiate a racial identity. Wei Ming Dariotis uses a personal narrative to explore the discourse and cooption of the term ”Hapa” by a variety of Asian Americans. And, Amy Steinbugler offers an examination of the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality in her chapter on interracial, same sex couples. Other contributors include Kellina M. Craig-Henderson, Emily J. Hubbard and Amy Smith. In light of the recent election of the first African American president, Barack Obama, himself a bi-racial individual living in a multi-racial family, this book could not be more timely.ulliISBN13: 9781594605710liCondition: NEWliNotes: Brand New from Publisher.

Target $11.98 Target is one of those Tom Scott records that gets forgotten about a lot. Certainly it comes from the middle of the 1980s just before the GRP era, when Scott was still leading the Saturday Night Live Band on occasion and looking around for a new sound. It’s the sound of a restless musician who gets the pop game, or at least has gotten it and is not sure of where to shift his focus next. The band is big and full of killer players: Harvey Mason, Ernie Watts, Ian Underwood, Victor Feldman, Paul Jackson, Neil Stubenhaus, Jim Horn, Trevor Feldman, Pete Christlieb, and Michael Boddicker, among others. The sound is a tad warmer than what Atlantic was releasing at the time, too. But the material, as good as some of it is — like the funky title track — also contains half-hearted pop ballads like “Come Back to Me” with Kenny James on vocals. “He’s Too Young,” with a fine vocal performance by Maria Muldaur, is marred by a terribly dated — and it was for the time — synth drum sound. There is also a truly bizarre moment when Lee Ving, former lead singer of Los Angeles hardcore band Fear raps and plays blues harmonica on “Gotta Get out of New York.” Then there’s “Lollipoppin’” which, while it contains the same dumb synth drum sound, also has some killer Rhodes by Feldman, synth work by Underwood, and a happening keyboard bassline. The grooving muted horn section on this reading of Dan Peck’s “The Biggest Part of Me,” has a wonderfully soulful feel with great kit work by Mason. The horn arrangements are in the pocket but restrained, allowing that lithe melody to shine through and, along with the title cut, it’s a contender for best tune on the set. The set closes with the stone-gone funky groover “Burundi Bump” by Scott and Feldman with excellent basslines, pulsing Rhodes work, a boatload of percussion, and Mason running the ensemble from his kit; the entire tune is rhythm based. So Target is, ultimately, a mixed bag, a hold-over record that was throwing everything at the wall to see what worked. Interestingly, what did was the basis for Scott’s sound at GRP. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music GuidePerformers: Tom Scott – Lyricon, Sax (Soprano), Sax (Tenor), Saxophone, Synthesizer, Wind; Judi Brown – Vocals (Background); Trevor Feldman – Fender Rhodes, Keyboards; Victor Feldman – Fender Rhodes, Keyboards, Percussion, Piano, Synthesizer; Jerry Hey – Flugelhorn, Horn, Trumpet; |

The Target $3.48 Catherine Coulter’s sensational contemporary suspense novels The Cove and The Maze were gripping enough to establish Coulter firmly in the genre, hailed Publishers Weekly. Now, with The Target, Coulter again lays claim to the territory where romance and terror intersect. Hoping to escape unwanted celebrity in the aftermath of a notorious incident, Ramsey Hunt settles in the Rockies, determined to bury himself in the safety of a solitary existence. But his isolation is shattered when he stumbles upon a small girl unconscious in the high-altitude forest. When strangers pursue Ramsey to his private meadow in an attempt to kill him and the girl, he’s mystified that anyone would wish her harm. And the child can’t shed any light on the subject: she’s mute. Molly Santana, the girl’s mother, catches up with Ramsey and her daughter, mistaking her daughter’s savior for a kidnapper. But soon Ramsey’s real role becomes clear. With the strangers in pursuit, the trio flee to Chicago for sanctuary. Even there, however, the child’s enemies prove as relentless as their motives are baffling. With an unexpected assist from FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock (last seen in The Maze), Molly and Ramsey begin to unravel the clues, and in the process they make an astonishing discovery as to the true nature of the target. |

Navigating Interracial Borders $24.98 "One of the best books written about interracial relationships to date. . . . Childs offers a sophisticated and insightful analysis of the social and ideological context of black-white interracial relationships." –Heather Dalmage, author of Tripping on the Color Line "A pioneering project that thoroughly analyzes interracial marriage in contemporary America." –Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, author of Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and The Persistence of Racial Inequality in the United States Is love color-blind, or at least becoming increasingly so? Today’s popular rhetoric and evidence of more interracial couples than ever might suggest that it is. But is it the idea of racially mixed relationships that we are growing to accept or is it the reality? What is the actual experience of individuals in these partnerships as they navigate their way through public spheres and intermingle in small, close-knit communities? In Navigating Interracial Borders, Erica Chito Childs explores the social world of black-white interracial couples and examines the ways that collective attitudes shape private relationships. Drawing on personal accounts, in-depth interviews, focus group responses, and cultural analysis of media sources, she provides compelling evidence that sizable opposition still exists toward black-white unions. Disapproval is merely being expressed in more subtle, color-blind terms. Childs reveals that frequently the same individuals who attest in surveys that they approve of interracial dating will also list various reasons why they and their families wouldn’t, shouldn’t, and couldn’t marry someone of another race. Even college students, who are heralded as racially tolerant and open-minded, do not view interracial couples as acceptable when those partnerships move beyond the point of casual dating. Popular films, Internet images, and pornography also continue to reinforce the idea that sexual relations between blacks and whites are deviant. Well-researched, candidly written, and enriched with personal narratives, Navigating Interracial Boundaries offers important new insights into the still fraught racial hierarchies of contemporary society in the United States. Erica Chito Childs is an assistant professor of sociology at Eastern Connecticut State University. |

Interknot: Adventures in Internet Dating $34.17 This is not an Internet Dating for Dummies book. This is not a book for the highbrow literati or for the notorious Grammar Nazis that lurk on the Internet. You won’t find facts and figures here, nor will you find how-to instructions.pWhat you will find are stories told by an adventuresome collection of people who have spent hours on the Internet looking for relationships, friendships, or just some good old-fashioned fun and laughs. These stories are intended to entertain and delight you, frighten and horrify you, and most of all, to prepare you for what you can expect when you decide to venture online in the penultimate quest for love and companionship.pInternet dating has spread across the globe as quickly as the Internet has spread its cyber-wings. Nearly one hundred million adults have online profiles, and from these millions, we have collected a small group of real people who are willing to relate their experiences in their own words, words that won’t send you running for a dictionary and words that will leave you either laughing at their misadventures or shaking your head in commiseration.pIncluded in this motley crew is David Osterczy, father of three, photographer and storyteller. Dipping into three years of experience standing alongside his cohorts in the firing line of online dating, he brazenly lays out all the dirty details of his exploits, asks the questions we all want to ask, and explores all the twists and turns of the road to online romance. You are invited to form your own opinions as you read the many points of views, knowing that they are told with no punches pulled.pTake it or leave it, this is the Internet dating community. |

An Anthology of Interracial Literature $11.48 View the Table of Contents;Read the Introduction. "Thanks again to Werner Sollors for oxygenating our thoughts on race and identity, and their relationship to that holy dunce, the literary imagination. Intelligently multicultural, this compendium provokes and entertains even as it exposes still-live nerves. Sollors’ scholarship is erudite but relevant; his choices speak with tactful passion about matters which touch us all." —Gish Jen, author of Mona in the Promised Land "Many startling textual artifacts included."—The New York Times "The first in English devoted to work that Mr. Sollors says has typically been overlooked, an orphan literature belonging to no clear ethnic or national tradition."—New York Times "The scope of this collection is impressive. The introduction is invaluable, providing much-needed context. The volume’s topic and scope make it a valuable resource."—Choice "No one has done more important work to place interracial association at the center of American culture than Werner Sollors. This extraordinarily rich anthology is an excellent addition to the study of this fascinating subject."—Randall Kennedy, author of Interracial Intimacies: Sex, Marriage, Identity & Adoption "Werner Sollors’s dazzling collection will enrich our understanding of constructions of race and identity in fresh and provocative ways and will intrigue anyone who cares about literature."—Shelley Fisher Fishkin, Stanford University "An essential book for those contending with race and literature. With this collection it is clear that race is a category that has been marked both as a boundary that cannot be crossed and as a separation that is constantly breached. A necessary and crucial contribution."—Gerald Early, Washington University in St. Louis "Recommended for academic libraries and for any reader working around the race rubric"—Library Journal A white knight meets his half-black half-brother in battle. A black hero marries a white woman. A slave mother kills her child by a rapist-master. A white-looking person of partly African ancestry passes for white. A master and a slave change places for a single night. An interracial marriage turns sour. The birth of a child brings a crisis. Such are some of the story lines to be found within the pages of An Anthology of Interracial Literature. This is the first anthology to explore the literary theme of black-white encounters, of love and family stories that cross—or are crossed by—what came to be considered racial boundaries. The anthology extends from Cleobolus’ ancient Greek riddle to tormented encounters in the modern United States, visiting along the way a German medieval chivalric romance, excerpts from Arabian Nights and Italian Renaissance novellas, scenes and plays from Spain, Denmark, England, and the United States, as well as essays, autobiographical sketches, a… |

Dating Outside Your Dna $9.73 Special agent Roan Hendrix is a straight shooter with weapons and women, so he doesn’t appreciate it when his boss throws him a curve. But what a curve. A half-human, half-Nerakian who needs a one-on-one crash course in how best to channel her powers. And while Roan’s usually a master at separating business from pleasure, one glance into Lyraka’s green eyes is enough to spark scorching fantasies of seriously close encounters with the tall, tanned temptress…Lyraka’s trying not to mind the way Mister Macho Special Agent keeps barking orders, but it’s impossible to ignore Roan’s rough-and-ready appeal. The sensitive ponytail guys Lyraka grew up with didn’t have a clue how to handle her outsized sex drive, but Roan looks like he’d be up to the task in every way. Better still, he never got the memo that Lyraka’s human side makes her – ahem – ‘special talents’ even greater than the average Nerakian’s…ulliISBN13: 9780758225764liCondition: NEWliNotes: Brand New from Publisher.

Grosse Pointe Blank $13.98 Director George Armitage’s Grosse Pointe Blank (which probably should be called John Cusack’s Grosse Pointe Blank, since he not only starred in it, but also co-wrote and co-produced it) is set at a ten-year high-school reunion in Grosse Pointe, MI, in the present day, that being the spring of 1996. Thus, ex-Clash member Joe Strummer, credited with the original score, could call upon music dating back to the mid-’80s for songs the characters, now in their late twenties, would know. You might expect, then, that those 1986 graduates would be grooving to, say, Heart’s “These Dreams” or “Greatest Love of All” by Whitney Houston. But, of course, Cusack and Strummer are much too hip for such popular fare. Instead, they put together a collection of edgy, British-oriented new wave and alternative rock, mostly from the early and mid-’80s, tracks by the likes of the Clash, the English Beat, the Specials, and the Jam, plus Americans Violent Femmes and Faith No More. Then there are ringers like Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Clearly Now,” which was a hit in 1972 when the main characters would have been about three years old, and Guns N’ Roses’ version of “Live and Let Die,” which wasn’t a hit until 1991. Okay, so this isn’t really the music that would have been popular with the 1986 graduating class in Grosse Pointe. Who cares? The soundtrack album works well, including a relaxed “remix” (actually a different version) of Pete Townshend’s “Let My Love Open the Door” as well as a new take on Violent Femmes’ “Blister in the Sun” called “Blister 2000.” Like the movie, which grossed 28 million dollars, the soundtrack album was a modest success, peaking at number 31, which inspired a follow-up collection, More Music From the Film Grosse Pointe Blank. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music GuidePerformers: Peter Balestrieri – Sax (Baritone), Vocals; Steve MacKay – Sax (Baritone) |

Blank-Wave Arcade $12.98 The Faint’s second album Blank-Wave Arcade delivers more choppy new-wave rhythms, spiky guitars, and acidic, old-school synths, with a little punk-rock attitude thrown in for good measure. While the group has been compared to the usual suspects, like Gary Numan, Devo, and the Cure, there is also a strong resemblance to Blur’s new wave/punk fusion — especially in singer Todd Baechle’s staccato, faux-Brit delivery — and the Normal’s fascination with sex and cars pops up on the Faint’s angular, uptight songs, especially “Sex Is Personal,” “Worked Up So Sexual,” and “Cars Pass in Cold Blood.” “Victim Convenience” and “The Passives” are dystopian and futuristic, while “Sealed Human” presents a quieter, more interesting version of the band’s sound, mixing a drumbeat that sounds like the purr of a touch-tone phone with modem-like synths and processed vocals. Though originality isn’t their strong suit, the Faint do display an aggressive, dynamic reinterpretation of their influences, suggesting that their synthetic new wave can be just as entertaining as the real deal. ~ Heather Phares, All Music GuidePerformers: Clark Baechle – Drums; Todd Fink – Vocals; Joel Petersen – Bass, Guitar; Joel Peterson – Bass, Guitar; Jacob Thiele – Synthesizer, Vocals |

There Are No Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter $11.98 The world of teen romance is sometimes chaotic and oftentimes confusing. What do you say when your 13-year-old asks, ?How can I make a guy go out with me?? How do you respond to a 17-year-old who says she?s in love? What do you do with a daughter who gets involved in endless hookups and breakups that leave her an emotional wreck? The answers, just like dating relationships, aren?t always easy. This book gives parents a window into the teen dating scene and shows them how to maintain their sanity amid all the crushes, courtships, and infatuations of adolescents. Both the fears and the fun of teen dating are revealed as the authors look at some of its biggest issues: ?Age (How old should your daughter be before she starts dating, and what age should her dates be?) ?Car Dates (Does your daughter have an escape route if a good date goes bad?) ?Appropriate Attire (When skin is in, is a bare midriff, backless blouse, or plunging neckline being fashionable or foolish?) ?Gift Giving (Are gifts of underwear going over the top?) ?Internet (Are virtual relationships a safer, better alternative for your daughter?) Parents are urged to sit down and talk seriously with their daughters about the purpose of dating and to create family dating rules. Sample activities to help get the conversation started are included. Sprinkled throughout the book are real-life dating stories, many silly, some scary, but all serve to remind parents that dating is a valuable experience that shouldn?t be denied or trivialized.2006 Winner of The National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval |

Scandalous Behavior: Advice on Dating for Women and Love Stories $25.19 I have hung out with girls all my life, who I think are more intelligent than men, and the only form of communication I had where I could learn anything of substance was from women. When you are always in the company of women, you always hear both sides of the real story, not the macho and overly exaggerated facts that men give. So really, in essence, women made me the womanizer that I became. I learned so much about women being around them on a constant basis. It’s like a wolf among sheep. Women have an overwhelming desire to mother you or to think that they can mold you and try to change you into the imaginary man or husband that they really want, when most women themselves don’t really know. That’s the principal reason I wrote this novel. |

One Nation, One Blood: Interracial Marriage in American Fiction, Scandal, and Law, 1820-1870 $34.95 The proscription against interracial marriage was for many years a flashpoint in American culture. In One Nation, One Blood, Karen Woods Weierman explores this taboo by investigating the traditional link between marriage and property. Her research reveals that the opposition to intermarriage originated in large measure in the nineteenth-century desire for Indian land and African labor. Yet despite the white majority’s overwhelming rejection of nonwhite peoples as marriage partners, citizens, and social equals, nineteenth-century reformers challenged the rule against intermarriage. Dismissing the new race science that purported to prove white superiority, reformers held fast to the religious notion of a common humanity and the republican rhetoric of freedom and equality, arguing that God made all people of one blood. The years from 1820 to 1870 marked a crucial period in the history of this prejudice. Tales of interracial marriage recounted in fiction, real-life scandals, and legal statutes figured prominently in public discussion of both slavery and the fate of Native Americans. In Part One of this book, Weierman focuses on Indian-white marriages during the 1820s, when Indian removal became a rallying cry for New England intellectuals. In Part Two, she shifts her attention to black-white marriages from the antebellum period through the early years of Reconstruction. In both cases she finds that the combination of a highly publicized intermarriage scandal, new legislation prohibiting interracial marriage, and fictional portrayals of the ills associated with such unions served to reinforce popular prejudice, justifying the displacement of Indians from their lands and upholding thesystem of slavery. Even after the demise of slavery, restrictions against intermarriage remained in place in many parts of the country long into the twentieth century. Not until the 1967 Loving v. Virginia decision did the Supreme Court finally rule that such laws were unconstitutional. Finishing on a contemporary note, Weierman suggests that the stories Americans tell about intermarriage today–stories defining family, racial identity, and citizenship–still reflect a struggle for resources and power. |
