Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The election of Barack Obama gave political currency to the (white) idea that Americans now live in a post-racial society. But the persistence of racial profiling, economic inequality between blacks and whites, disproportionate numbers of black prisoners, and disparities in health and access to healthcare suggest there is more to the story. David H. Ikard addresses these issues in an effort to give voice to the challenges faced by most African Americans and to make legible the shifting discourse of white supremacist ideology—including post-racialism and colorblind politics—that frustrates black self-determination, agency, and empowerment in the 21st century. Ikard tackles these concerns from various perspectives, chief among them black feminism. He argues that all oppressions (of race, gender, class, sexual orientation) intersect and must be confronted to upset the status quo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorblindness has become an integral part of the national conversation on race in America. Given the assumptions behind this influential metaphor—that being blind to race will lead to racial equality—it's curious that, until now, we have not considered if or how the blind "see" race. Most sighted people assume that the answer is obvious: they don't, and are therefore incapable of racial bias—an example that the sighted community should presumably follow. In Blinded by Sight,Osagie K. Obasogie shares a startling observation made during discussions with people from all walks of life who have been blind since birth: even the blind aren't colorblind—blind people understand race visually, just like everyone else. Ask a blind person what race is, and they will more than likely refer to visual cues such as skin color. Obasogie finds that, because blind people think about race visually, they orient their lives around these understandings in terms of who they are friends with, who they date, and much more. In Blinded by Sight, Obasogie argues that rather than being visually obvious, both blind and sighted people are socialized to see race in particular ways, even to a point where blind people "see" race. So what does this mean for how we live and the laws that govern our society? Obasogie delves into these questions and uncovers how color blindness in law, public policy, and culture will not lead us to any imagined racial utopia.

Book excerpt: Police investigators Pete Culnane and Martin Tierney are as different as parchment and newsprint, and Martins insecurities are fed by Petes expertise and finesse. A homeless man wearing an eye-popping diamond ring is as inexplicable to both of them as the disappearance of the two boys who reported his body on St. Pauls Upper Landing. Blinded by the Sight demonstrates how good intentions can go awry, resulting in unintended, life-altering predicaments.

Book excerpt: A touching story that many women have been through; have you ever been ‘Blinded by Love?’ Have you ever been or are being lied to, cheated on, walked over, used, and abused? Were you or are you so tired of it and you don’t know what to do? Being ‘Blinded by Love’, can break your heart, have your mind gone, and doing things that you know is not right, however, you are still doing them, due to the fact that you are ‘Blinded by Love’. Being in a ‘Blinded by Love’ situation can be a detriment to one’s health and can lead to someone being hurt, mentally or physically. Are you…? Ignoring reality, not seeing the wrong he is doing. Like being addicted to a drug and just can’t and don’t want to let go. Do the bad outweigh the good? Don’t be hooked on a dream, as you will be a fool. You don’t want to have low confidence; high confidence is what you should have. Being ‘Blinded by Love’ can lead one to have low self-esteem, with a wall always up. You see the negative bad things; however, you are ignoring the signs because you Love this person so much and you want this person to Love you back. Open your eyes and stop being blinded by false actions. Deep down inside, you know that you are not happy, but you still choose to stay. You are first priority; make sure that you are happy before trying and making your mate happy, especially one that’s not even worried about you being happy. Stop being in denial and leave before it is too late…
