Three Black Generations at the Crossroads
Three Generations at the Crossroads weaves a collective tapestry, linking personal biographies of individuals in different generations to the larger social forces acting on them. This second edition contains new chapters on politicians and artists, two groups that are symbolic of the new occupations that have emerged since the post-civil rights era.

Black Women in the Academy
This collection of essays addresses the status, acceptance, progression and teaching of African American women within America's institutions of higher education. In exploring the themes of identity, power, and ultimately change, these accounts serve as reference to, and a catalyst for that change

Black Women Achievers
