Centuries after our nation was founded on genocide, settler colonialism, and slavery, many Americans are kinda-sorta-maybe waking up to the reality that our racial politics are (still) garbage. But in the midst of this reckoning, widespread denial and misunderstandings about race persist, even as white supremacy and racial injustice are more visible than ever before.Combining no-holds-barred social critique, humorous personal anecdotes, and analysis of the latest interdisciplinary scholarship on systemic racism, sociologist Crystal M. Fleming provides a fresh, accessible, and irreverent take on everything that's wrong with our ';national conversation about race.' Drawing upon critical race theory, as well as her own experiences as a queer black millennial college professor and researcher, Fleming unveils how systemic racism exposes us all to racial ignoranceand provides a road map for transforming our knowledge into concrete social change. Searing, sobering, and urgently needed, How to Be Less Stupid About Race is a truth bomb for your racist relative, friend, or boss, and a call to action for everyone who wants to challenge white supremacy and intersectional oppression.

As a little girl growing up in Boston, Miriam Bluestein fantasized about a life lived on stage, specifically in a musical. Get married, have a family-sure, maybe she''d do those things, too, but first and foremost there was her career. As a woman, she is both tormented and consoled by those dreams in her day-to-day existence with her family, including a short-tempered husband, a cranky mother, and three demanding children, one of whom, Ethan, shows real talent for the stage. It is through Ethan that Miriam strives to realize her dreams. As she pushes him to make the most of his talent, the rest of her life gradually comes undone, with her husband becoming increasingly frustrated and her other two children-Sam, a mass of quirks and idiosyncrasies, and Julie, hostile and bitter-withdrawing into their own worlds. Still Miriam dreams, praying for that big finale, which, when it comes, is nothing that she ever could have imagined. Broadway Baby marks the fiction debut of a nationally acclaimed award-winning memoirist and poet, "an acute observer of moments, people, art and language [who] packs even seemingly simple stories with many layers of meaning" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

In the twenty-fourth volume of this distinguished anthology, Madison Smartt Bell chooses twenty-one distinctive pieces of short fiction to tell the story of the South as it is now. This is a South that is still recognizable but no longer predictable. As he says, "to the traditional black and white recipe (ever a tricky and volatile mixture) have been added new shades and strains from Asia and Central and South America and just about everywhere else on the shrinking globe." Just as Katrina brought out into the open all the voices of New Orleans, so the South is now many things, both a distinctive region and a place of rootlessness. It''s these contradictions that Madison Smartt Bell has captured in this provocative and moving collection of stories. Here you''ll find the well-known-Wendell Berry, Elizabeth Spencer, Jill McCorkle-alongside those writers just making their debuts, in stories that show the South we always thought we knew, making itself over, and over.

David Arbus will be graduating from high school in the spring of 1975. His divorced parents offer two options: embrace his mother''s Hasidic sect or go into his father''s line of work, running a porn theater in the heart of New York''s Times Square. He joins the family business. What else would a healthy seventeen-year-old with an interest in photography do? But he didn''t think it would mean giving up his mother and sister altogether. Peep Show is the bittersweet story of a young man torn between a mother trying to erase her past and a father struggling to maintain his dignity in a less-than-savory business. As David peeps through the spaces in the screen that divides the men and the women in Hasidic homes, we can''t help but think of his father''s Imperial Theatre, where other men are looking at other women through the peepholes. As entertaining as it is moving, Peep Show looks at the elaborate ensembles, rituals, assumed names, and fierce loyalties of two secret worlds, stripping away the curtains of both.

This book brings together a combination of primary source research and a thorough reading of secondary literature as relates to performance of the music of Brahms. It considers in detail issues of Brahms''s preferences in terms of instruments, instrumental approach, the meanings of fundamental notational symbols such as the slur, orchestral size, tempo and tempo flexibility, Brahms''s preferred performers, the use of the style hongroise in the appropriate works and wider questions of exoticism and orientalism as pertain to performance, Brahms''s use of phrasing and metrical displacement and writing for the voice. Rather than dealing with these subjects in a generalized manner, it includes ample specific examples in order to suggest how ''applied performance practice research'' might operate. In so doing, it draws upon analytical work on Brahms in order to elucidate how performance strategies might articulate various underlying aspects of the music. It involves new findings in terms of sources relating to Brahms''s use of the slur, his preferences regarding the orchestra, his own activities as a performer (on the basis of contemporary reviews), and his relationship with particular conductors. There is also an in-depth look at Brahms''s engagement with folk music, suggestions of possible Turkish allusions, and their implications for performance. Throughout, sufficient source material (in the original language as well as in translations, some new) is provided for readers to be able to evaluate for themselves. Brahms''s letters and the memoirs of those who knew him in particular have been widely sourced. The engagement of Brahms with earlier music, often used as models for his own work, and the implications of such engagement for performance, is a recurrent concern throughout the book. Case studies include Brahms''s First Symphony, Piano Concerto No. 2, Liebeslieder and Neues Liebeslieder, String Quintet in G Op. 111, Klavierstücke Op. 118 and Clarinet Sonata in E-flat Op. 120 No. 2.
