The Color of Wealth: The Story Behind the U.S. Racial Wealth Divide

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: An eye-opening field guide to the wealth gap. For every dollar owned by the average white family in the United States, the average family of color has less than a dime. Why do people of color have so little wealth? The Color of Wealth lays bare a dirty secret: for centuries, people of color have been barred by laws and by discrimination from participating in government wealth-building programs that benefit white Americans. This accessible book?published in conjunction with one of the country`s leading economics education organizations?makes the case that until government policy tackles disparities in wealth, not just income, the United States will never have racial or economic justice. Written by five leading experts on the racial wealth divide who recount the asset-building histories of Native Americans, Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, and European Americans, this book is a uniquely comprehensive multicultural history of… [detailed...]

Timothy J. Minchin
The Color of Work: The Struggle for Civil Rights in the Southern Paper Industry, 1945-1980

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Histories of the civil rights movement have generally overlooked the battle to integrate the South`s major industries. The paper industry, which has played an important role in the southern economy since the 1930s, has been particularly neglected. Using previously untapped legal records and oral history interviews, Timothy Minchin provides the first in-depth account of the struggle to integrate southern paper mills. Minchin describes how jobs in the southern paper industry were strictly segregated prior to the 1960s, with black workers confined to low-paying, menial positions. All work literally had a color: every job was racially designated and workers were represented by segregated local unions. Though black workers tried to protest workplace inequities through their unions, their efforts were largely ineffective until passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act opened the way for scores of antidiscrimination lawsuits. Even then, however, resistance from executives and white workers… [detailed...]

Christopher P. Lehman
The Colored Cartoon: Black Representation in American Animated Short Films, 1907-1954

2008 y.
Publisher: University of Massachusetts Press
Description: This book traces the evolution of racial caricatures in American cartoons during the first half of the twentieth century. From the introduction of animated film in the early 1900s to the 1950s, ethnic humor was a staple of American-made cartoons. Yet as Christopher Lehman shows in this revealing study, the depiction of African Americans in particular became so inextricably linked to the cartoon medium as to influence its evolution through those five decades. He argues that what is in many ways most distinctive about American animation reflects white animators` visual interpretations of African American cultural expression. The first American animators drew on popular black representations, many of which were caricatures rooted in the culture of southern slavery. During the 1920s, the advent of the sound-synchronized cartoon inspired animators to blend antebellum-era black stereotypes with the modern black cultural expressions of jazz musicians and Hollywood actors. When the film… [detailed...]

The Colors of Lobstering

Publisher: Down East Books
Description: Most people think of lobsters in terms of melted butter and paper bibs, or wharves reeking of barreled bait. But Maine photographer Greg Currier presents a very different side of Canada’s favorite crustacean, one flooded with the brilliant colors of the buoys, boats, traps, and foul-weather gear of the working lobsterman. Currier captures the beauty in the everyday experience of lobstering, as well as in the peaceful predawn start of a lobsterman’s day. From the neon glow of buoys stacked for use to a working harbor aglow at sunset, these truly are the colors of lobstering. [detailed...]

As she worked, ate, sang and laughed alongside other volunteers and Mexican families though the true colors of the Colonia came into view. [detailed...]

The Colosseum (Wonders of the World)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Byron and Hitler were equally entranced by Rome`s most famous monument, the Colosseum. Mid-Victorians admired the hundreds of varieties of flowers in its crannies and occasionally shuddered at its reputation for contagion, danger, and sexual temptation. Today it is the highlight of a tour of Italy for more than three million visitors a year, a concert arena for the likes of Paul McCartney, and a national symbol of opposition to the death penalty. Its ancient history is chockfull of romantic but erroneous myths. There is no evidence that any gladiator ever said `Hail Caesar, those about to die…` and we know of not one single Christian martyr who met his finish here. Yet the reality is much stranger than the legend as the authors, two prominent classical historians, explain in this absorbing account. We learn the details of how the arena was built and at what cost, we are introduced to the emperors who sometimes fought in gladiatorial games staged at the… [detailed...]
