New York Times Editor’s ChoiceRay Pat Browne Award for Best Work in Popular Culture and American CultureNAACP Image Award FinalistBooks for a Better Life Award FinalistNorthern California Book Award FinalistOver the past half-century; the U.S. has seen profound demographic and cultural change. But racial progress still seems distant. After the faith of the civil rights movement; the fervor of multiculturalism; and even the brief euphoria of a “post-racial†moment; we remain a nation divided. Resegregation is the norm. The culture wars flare as hot as ever. How do Americans see race now? Do we see each other any more clearly than before? In a powerful; original; and timely telling; Jeff Chang―the award-winning author of Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation―looks anew at the tumultuous half-century from the peak of the civil rights era to the colorization and strife of the Obama years. He uncovers a hidden history of American arts; cultural; and social movements that have changed the ways we see each other. Who We Be is at once beautiful and shocking; disquieting and hopeful; even as it urges us to reconsider the yet-unanswered question of how we might all get along.

Newman's Anglican SermonsBy LexOrandiNewman's Anglican Sermons are an important guide to Newman's spiritual and theological development. These sermons were all written when Newman was an Anglican but if you did not know this you would think they were Roman Catholic. Newman believed that it necessary to believe in a "creed" and his sermons are concerned with our relationship with God. For Newman; faith alone was not sufficient. It was important to also live a life in accordance with historical religious values. Newman had a life long battle with the ideas of "Liberalism" and many of his sermons tried to counteract this trend. Each sermon is relatively short and the book can be read over an extended period of time. A suggestion is to read a sermon once a day or twice a week. Each sermon takes a while for the full message to sink in. We are fortunate that these sermons of Newman have been preserved.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. TyposBy just wonderingIf your budget's like mine; you can struggle through the typos and confusing layout; such as misplaced paragraphs and headings. Just keep asking yourself; "how much did it cost you?"
