Tackling the myth of a post-racial society

Praised by a wide variety of people from Ta-Nehisi Coates to Zadie Smith, Racecraft “ought to be positioned,” as Bookforum put it, “at the center of any discussion of race in American life.”

Most people assume racism grows from a perception of human  difference: the fact of race gives rise to the practice of racism.  Sociologist Karen E. Fields and historian Barbara J. Fields argue  otherwise: the practice of racism produces the illusion of race, through  what they call “racecraft.” And this phenomenon is intimately entwined  with other forms of inequality in American life. So pervasive are the  devices of racecraft in American history, economic doctrine, politics,  and everyday thinking that the presence of racecraft itself goes  unnoticed.

That the promised post-racial age has not dawned, the  authors argue, reflects the failure of Americans to develop a legitimate  language for thinking about and discussing inequality. That failure  should worry everyone who cares about democratic institutions.

Is your Dream going to college & getting a degree? How many college grads find work in their chosen fields today? How many are doing that same work 10 years later... or even 5 years later? Likely one out of hundred. Is your Dream getting a good JOB? Working for living? Can you get a job where you can earn what you are worth... where you will become financially independent... and find fulfillment... and gain freedom... trading your time for money? Have you ever been made fun of...ridiculed...abused...misunderstood and mocked...until finally there came a time when you stood up and shouted, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Well, I've come to that point in my life. I'm mad - and I'm not going to put up with it anymore! So, I'm writing this book to set the record straight and tell you the truth...to tell you what your real chances are today to make it in conventional businesses that are cutting salaries and benefits or,even worse, closing their doors - and laying off people by the thousands. Notice I said "conventional businesses". Truth is, there is another way...an unconventional business where average people can be their own boss and succeed in an industry that is revolutionizing the way the world lives, shops, and works. In this fast-growing industry called Network marketing, you can set your own hours...set your own goals...and earn anywhere from part-time income to an absolute fortune. Is Network Marketing a scam? ...A scheme? ... Or the American Dream? You deserve to know the truth. The whole truth. And nothing but the truth! Read this book...and you be the judge! LEH CITY

An insightful collection of teachings about death and dying to help face life's greatest mystery calmly and with equanimity.

Lifetimes of effort go into organizing, designing, and structuring every aspect of our lives, but how many people are willing to contemplate the inevitability of death? Although dying is an essential part of life, it is an uncomfortable topic that most people avoid. With no idea what will happen when we die and a strong desire to sidestep the conversation, we make all kinds of assumptions.

Living Is Dying collects teachings about death and the bardos that have been passed down through a long lineage of brilliant Buddhist masters, each of whom went to great lengths to examine the process in minute detail. Renowned author and teacher Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse responds to the most common questions he's been asked about death and dying--exploring how one prepares for death, what to say to a loved one who is dying, and prayers and practices to use as a handhold when approaching the unknown territory of death. Whether you are facing death today or decades from now, preparing for it can help to allay your worst fears and help you appreciate what it means to be truly alive.
