The ideas and practices related to afrofuturism have existed for
most of the 20th century, especially in the north American African
diaspora community. After Mark Dery coined the word "afrofuturism"
in 1993, Alondra Nelson as a member of an online forum, along with
other participants, began to explore the initial terrain and
intellectual underpinnings of the concept noting that "AfroFuturism
has emerged as a term of convenience to describe analysis,
criticism and cultural production that addresses the intersections
between race and technology." Afrofuturism 2.0: The Rise of
Astroblackness represents a transition from previous ideas related
to afrofuturism that were formed in the late 20th century around
issues of the digital divide, music and literature. Afrofuturism
2.0 expands and broadens the discussion around the concept to
include religion, architecture, communications, visual art,
philosophy and reflects its current growth as an emerging global
Pan African creative phenomenon.
Representation of Minority Groups in the U.S. aims to assess the
changes that have occurred with respect to the descriptive and
substantive representation of women, African Americans, Latinos,
Asian Americans, and American Indians in the U.S. political system
from 1965 to the present. Each institutionally oriented chapter
provides the reader with detailed demographic and behavioral facts
concerning minority groups in the political system. How these
groups are represented is assessed through discussions of
partisanship, ideology, policy impact, role orientations,
leadership, committee assignment, bill co-sponsorship, and voting
behavior.

This title offers a look back at a powerful moment in New Orleans'
history. ""Showdown in Desire"" portrays the Black Panther Party in
New Orleans in 1970, a year that included a shootout with the
police on Piety Street, the creation of survival programs, and the
daylong standoff between the Panthers and the police in the Desire
housing development. Through interviews with Malik Rahim, the
Panther; Robert H. King, Panther and member of the Angola 3; Larry
Preston Williams, the black policeman; Moon Landrieu, the mayor;
Henry Faggen, the Desire resident; Robert Glass, the white lawyer;
Jerome LeDoux, the black priest; William Barnwell, the white
priest; and, many others, Orissa Arend tells a nuanced story that
unfolds amid guns, tear gas, desperate poverty, oppression, and
inflammatory rhetoric to capture the palpable spirit of rebellion,
resistance, and revolution of an incendiary summer in New Orleans.

thinking, which is unique to this type of manual. .
