Changes at the global, federal, state, and municipal level are
pushing forward the reparations movement for people of African
descent. The distinguished editors of this volume have gathered
works that chronicle the historical movement for reparations both
in the United States and around the world. Sharing a focus on
reparations as an issue of justice, the contributors provide a
historical primer of the movement; introduce the philosophical,
political, economic, legal and ethical issues surrounding
reparations; explain why government, corporations, universities,
and other institutions must take steps to rehabilitate, compensate,
and commemorate African Americans; call for the restoration of
Black people’s human and civil rights and material and
psychological well-being; lay out specific ideas about how
reparations can and should be paid; and advance cutting-edge
interpretations of the complex long-lasting effects that
enslavement, police and vigilante actions, economic discrimination,
and other behaviors have had on people of African descent.

In recent decades, scholars have explored much of the history of
mob violence in the American South, especially in the years after
Reconstruction. However, the lynching violence that occurred in
American regions outside the South, where hundreds of persons,
including Hispanics, whites, African Americans, Native Americans,
and Asian Americans died at the hands of lynch mobs, has received
less attention. This collection of essays by prominent and rising
scholars fills this gap by illuminating the factors that
distinguished lynching in the West, the Midwest, and the
Mid-Atlantic. The volume adds to a more comprehensive history of
American lynching and will be of interest to all readers interested
in the history of violence across the varied regions of the United
States. Contributors are Jack S. Blocker Jr., Brent M. S. Campney,
William D. Carrigan, Sundiata Keita Cha-Jua, Dennis B. Downey,
Larry R. Gerlach, Kimberley Mangun, Helen McLure, Michael J.
Pfeifer, Christopher Waldrep, Clive Webb, and Dena Lynn Winslow.
Started in Shanghai in the 1920s, the legendary Shaw Brothers
Studio began to dominate the worldwide Chinese film market after
moving its production facilities to Hong Kong in 1957. Drawing
together scholars from such diverse disciplines as history,
cultural geography, and film studies, "China Forever" addresses how
the Shaw Brothers raised the production standards of Hong Kong
cinema, created a pan-Chinese cinema culture and distribution
network, helped globalize Chinese-language cinema, and appealed to
the cultural nationalism of the Chinese who found themselves
displaced and unsettled in many parts of the world during the
twentieth century. Contributors are Timothy P. Barnard, Cheng
Pei-pei, Ramona Curry, Poshek Fu, Lane J. Harris, Law Kar, Sundiata
Keita Cha-Jua, Lilly Kong, Siu Leung Li, Paul G. Pickowicz, Fanon

This collection is a contribution to the ongoing examination of
race and its relation to class and gender. The essays in the volume
start with the premise that although race, like class and gender,
is socially constructed, all three categories have been shaped
profoundly by their context in a capitalist society. Race, in other
words, is a historical category that develops not only in
dialectical relation to class and gender but also in relation to
the material conditions in which all three are forged. These
assumptions underlie the organization of the volume, which is
divided into three parts: "Racial Structures," which explores the
problem of how race has historically been structured in modern
capitalist societies; "Racial Ideology and Identity," which tackles
diverse but interrelated questions regarding the representation of
race and racism in dominant ideologies and discourses; and
"Struggle," which builds on the insight that resistance to
structures and ideologies of racial oppression is always situated
in a particular time and place. In addition to discussing and
analyzing various dimensions of the African American experience,
contributors also consider the ways in which race plays itself out
in the experience of Asian Americans and in the very different
geopolitical environments of the British Empire and postcolonial
Africa. Contributors are Pedro Cabán, Sundiata Keita Cha-Jua,
David Crockett, Theodore Koditschek, Scott Kurashige, Clarence
Lang, Minkah Makalani, Helen A. Neville, Tola Olu Pearce, David
Roediger, Monica M. White, and Jeffrey Williams.
