Free market capitalism has created a divided American society.
Conservative economic and social policy thinking drove the Right's
Project from 1980 to its collapse in 2008, leaving the world in
ruins and fascism on the march. The Vision of a Real Free Market
Society challenges the Left to create new forms of the market
economy that promote efficiency and equality while permanently
thwarting concentrated power. Many recent commentators have offered
policy recommendations based on existing economic institutions. By
contrast, this book calls for root-and-branch changes to the
inherent structure of American capitalism. The Vision of a Real
Free Market Society: Re-Imagining American Freedom presents a
Left-egalitarian case for limited government that overcomes the
failures of conservatism while rescuing economic justice from the
weaknesses of tax and transfer liberalism. The book explains why
the system fails so many Americans in so many different ways, and
outlines how we can build a better economy that simultaneously
promotes freedom and social justice while crippling the powers of
America's oligarchs. Exploring the idea of a left-wing case for
strong but small government, the book makes the case for
fundamental reforms that will lead to a truly free and fair
society. This provocative book will be of great relevance to anyone
with an interest in politics, philosophy or economics, and will
challenge readers to rethink their assumptions concerning the
prospects for combining justice with fairness in the modern world.

Many societal and cultural changes have taken place over the past
several decades, almost all of which have had a significant effect
on the mental health professions. Clinicians find themselves
encountering clients from highly diverse backgrounds more and more
often, increasing the need for a knowledge of cross-cultural
competencies. Ellis and Carlson have brought together some of the
leaders in the field of multicultural counseling to create a text
for mental health professionals that not only addresses diversity
but also emphasizes the counselor's role as an advocate of social
justice. The theoretical foundation for this book rests on research
into diversity, spirituality, religion, and color-specific issues.
Each chapter addresses the unique needs and relevant issues in
working with a specific population, such as women, men, African
Americans, Asian Americans, Spanish-speaking clients, North
America's indigenous people, members of the LGBT community, new
citizens, and the poor, underserved, and underrepresented. Issues
that enter into the counselor-patient relationship are discussed in
detail for all of these groups, with the hope that this will lead
to a greater understanding and sensitivity on the part of the
counselor for their patients. This is an important and timely book
for both counselors-in-training and those already established as
professionals in today's highly diverse and constantly-changing
society.

Representing Black Men focuses on gender, race and representation in the literary and cultural work of black men. The book examines the ways in which black masculinities figure in African American and American cultures, exploring the constructions of African American masculinities as presences in the arenas of theory, culture and literature. The book creates an important new site for critical discussions about gender and representation in American culture.
"Andrews does a superb job in offering solutions to familiar
problems for African Americans. Complete with charts, graphs, facts
and figures, the author provides readers with a vivid display of
how the scales of equality, wealth and power are tipped against
people of color."
--Upscale
"Andrews' aim is to paint an intellectually defensible and
decidedly anti-conservative picture of the complicated tie between
race and economic wellbeing."
--Booklist
"Fiery, passionate, and provocative, but also unflinchingly
rigorous in its argument. It is rare for an economist to write with
such fire bolstered by such a commitment to logical
reasoning."
--William A. Darity, Jr
"Marcellus Andrews has written a fascinating and theoretically
grounded account of the relationship between America's market
economy and the prospects faced by African Americans."--"The
Journal of Economic Issues"
Popular liberal writing on race has relied on appeals to the
value of "diversity" and the fading memory of the Civil Rights
movement to counter the aggressive conservative assault on liberal
racial reform generally, and on black well-being, in particular.
Yet appeals to fairness and justice, no matter how heartfelt, are
bound to fail, Marcellus Andrews argues, since the economic
foundations of the Civil Rights movement have been destroyed by the
combined forces of globalization, technology, and tight government
budgets.
The Political Economy of Hope and Fear fills an important
intellectual gap in writing on race by developing a hard-nosed
economic analysis of the links between competitive capitalism,
racial hostility, and persistent racial inequality in post-Civil
Rights America. Andrewsspeaks to the anger and frustration that
blacks feel in the face of the nation's abandonment of racial
equality as a worthy objective by showing how the considerable
difficulties that black Americans face are related to fundamental
changes in the economic fortunes of the U.S.
The Political Economy of Hope and Fear is an economist's plea
for unsentimental thinking on matters of race to replace the
mixture of liberal hand wringing and conservative mythmaking that
currently passes for serious analysis about the nation's racial
predicament.
