A framework for understanding the deep archive of Black performance
in the digital era In an era of Big Data and algorithms, our easy
access to the archive of contemporary and historical Blackness is
unprecedented. That iterations of Black visual art, such as Bert
Williams's 1916 silent film short "A Natural Born Gambler" or the
performances of Josephine Baker from the 1920s, are merely a quick
YouTube search away has transformed how scholars teach and research
Black performance. While Black Ephemera celebrates this new access,
it also questions the crisis and the challenge of the Black musical
archive in a moment when Black American culture has become a global
export. Using music and sound as its primary texts, Black Ephemera
argues that the cultural DNA of Black America has become obscured
in the transformation from analog to digital. Through a
cross-reading of the relationship between the digital era and
culture produced in the pre-digital era, Neal argues that Black
music has itself been reduced to ephemera, at best, and at worst to
the background sounds of the continued exploitation and
commodification of Black culture. The crisis and challenges of
Black archives are not simply questions of knowledge, but of how
knowledge moves and manifests itself within Blackness that is
obscure, ephemeral, fugitive, precarious, fluid, and increasingly
digital. Black Ephemera is a reminder that for every great leap
forward there is a necessary return to the archive. Through this
work, Neal offers a new framework for thinking about Black culture
in the digital world.
Ten years ago, Mark Anthony Neal's New Black Man put forth a
revolutionary model of Black masculinity for the twenty-first
century-one that moved beyond patriarchy to embrace feminism and
combat homophobia. Now, Neal's book is more vital than ever, urging
us to imagine a New Black Man whose strength resides in family,
community, and diversity. Part memoir, part manifesto, this book
celebrates the Black man of our times in all his vibrancy and
virility. The tenth anniversary edition of this classic text
includes a new foreword by Joan Morgan and a new introduction and
postscript from Neal, which bring the issues in the book up to the
present day.

The "greening" of industry processes—making them more
sustainable—is a popular and often lucrative trend. The volume
covers green chemical processing in the context of climate change.
The impact of catalysis, remediation of pollutants, and sustainable
practices in process development on climate change are themes
addressed in this volume.  We also explore the adoption of
sustainability and environmental justice in educational
curricula.  The American Chemical Society’s 12 Principles of
Green Chemistry are woven throughout this text as well as
throughout the series to which this book belongs.

In Songs in the Key of Black Life, acclaimed cultural critic Mark Anthony Neal turns his attention to Rhythm and Blues. He argues that R&B-often dismissed as "just a bunch of love songs," yet the second most popular genre in terms of sales - can tell us much about the dynamic joys, apprehensions, tensions, and contradictions of contemporary black life, if we listen closely. With a voice as heartfelt and compelling as the best music, Neal guides us through the work of classic and contemporary artists ranging from Marvin Gaye to Macy Gray. In the first section of the book, "Rhythm," he uses the music of Meshell N'degeocello, Patti Labelle, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, and others as guideposts to the major concerns of contemporary black life-issues such as gender, feminist politics, political activism, black masculinity, celebrity, and the fluidity of racial and sexual identity. The second part of the book, "Blues," uses the improvisational rhythms of black music as a metaphor to examine currents in black life including the public dispute between Cornel West and Harvard President Lawrence Summers and the firing of BET's talk-show host Tavis Smiley. Songs in the Key of Black Life is a remarkable contribution to the study of black popular music, and valuable reading for anyone interested in how race is lived in America.

Soul Babies examines the world of black youth since the Black Power and Civil Rights era.

Beginning with the role of music in nineteenth century slave culture, Neal covers key black cultural movements (Harlem, jazz, blaxploitation films, Motown, hip-hop, etc.), the social forces and organizations that countered them, including the FBI and the Nixon administration, a myriad of artists (Marvin Gaye figures significantly), and the relation of black music to such forces as the black feminist movement, black liberation, and identity politics.
Mark Anthony Neal reads the story of black communities through the
black tradition in popular music. His history challenges the view
that hip-hop was the first black cultural movement to speak truth
to power. Beginning with the role of music in 19th-century slave
culture, Neal covers key black cultural movements (Harlem, jazz,
blaxploitation films, Motown, hip-hop, etc.), the social forces and
organizations that countered them, including the FBI and the Nixon
administration, a myriad of artists (Marvin Gaye figures
significantly), and the relation of black music to such forces as
the black feminist movement, black liberation, and identity
politics.

contemporary communication approaches are crossing boundaries as
innovative media formats and digital transformations offer new

COVID-19. It sheds light on dialogic communications through
different digital media, the utilisation of mobile learning
technologies for corporate training and development, corporate
disclosures of CSR practices, communications of small and medium
sized businesses, and provides a taxonomy of online marketing
methods, among other topics. This title is a premier reference
source and a valuable teaching resource for courses in marketing,
communications, strategy and organisational behaviour.
