Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award Winner of the Heartland Prize A New York Times Notable Book One of the Best Books of the Year: The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Time, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, Time Out New York, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Kansas City Star, Men's Journal, Oprah.com Pulitzer Prize-winning cultural critic Margo Jefferson was born in 1947 into upper-crust black Chicago. Her father was head of pediatrics at Provident Hospital, while her mother was a socialite. In these pages, Jefferson takes us into this insular and discerning society: "I call it Negroland," she writes, "because I still find 'Negro' a word of wonders, glorious and terrible." Negroland's pedigree dates back generations, having originated with antebellum free blacks who made their fortunes among the plantations of the South. It evolved into a world of exclusive sororities, fraternities, networks, and clubs--a world in which skin color and hair texture were relentlessly evaluated alongside scholarly and professional achievements, where the Talented Tenth positioned themselves as a third race between whites and "the masses of Negros," and where the motto was "Achievement. Invulnerability. Comportment." At once incendiary and icy, mischievous and provocative, celebratory and elegiac, Negroland is a landmark work on privilege, discrimination, and the fallacy of post-racial America.Binding Type: Paperback

Daily Inspiration ... as if God is talking to me & just what I need
Format: Kindle
I love this book... it is a daily devotional and I can't say how often it is just spot on regarding what I need to hear at the moment.... I have a few daily meditation and inspiration books that I read ... and it seems what is written for the specific day is just exactly what I needed to hear or be encouraged by.
If you just want to know how much God loves you ... and if you feel He never 'talks' to you... this book might be an encouragement to you that truly, God loves you beyond what you can comprehend .. and YES He talks to you ... and probably more than you are aware ... this book just makes that reality quite literal on many days...
Enjoy the journey.... God loves you with an incredible never-ending, unconditioanl love and He really does speak specifically to us today....

Book Reivew
Format: Paperback
Ok, I'm impressed with the book and how each day speaks to me. I've gone through the year and using it again this year. So its not a one time book, God uses every day to reveal to me what he wants me to see and hear. Every Christian should have this book!
