Covering everything from sports to art, religion, music, and entrepreneurship, this book documents the vast array of African American cultural expressions and discusses their impact on the culture of the United States. According to the latest census data, less than 13 percent of the U.S. population identifies as African American; African Americans are still very much a minority group. Yet African American cultural expression and strong influences from African American culture are common across mainstream American culture—in music, the arts, and entertainment; in education and religion; in sports; and in politics and business. African American Culture: An Encyclopedia of People, Traditions, and Customs covers virtually every aspect of African American cultural expression, addressing subject matter that ranges from how African culture was preserved during slavery hundreds of years ago to the richness and complexity of African American culture in the post-Obama era. The most comprehensive reference work on African American culture to date, the multivolume set covers such topics as black contributions to literature and the arts, music and entertainment, religion, and professional sports. It also provides coverage of less-commonly addressed subjects, such as African American fashion practices and beauty culture, the development of jazz music across different eras, and African American business.

"Coming-of-age never looked so beautiful." - Kirkus (Starred Review) "[A] powerful story of growth and change, brimming with honesty and hope." - Publishers Weekly "Students who might not yet be ready for Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give will find an equally compelling narrator and story in Pretty." - VOYA Reviews Sophie's perspective on what being pretty really means changes drastically in the second adjective-busting novel by the author of Husky, Justin Sayre. Sayre details the private and public life of a thirteen-year-old burdened with far more than the middle-school adjective of Pretty. Though she appears confident, stylish, and easygoing at school, Sophie lives a nightmare at home. When her mother's alcohol addiction spirals out of control, Sophie's Auntie Amara steps in to help. She teaches Sophie new lessons about her family and heritage, while also challenging her to rethink how she feels about friends, boys, and even her sense of place in the Brooklyn neighborhood where she lives. Sayre, a master storyteller in the coming-of-age genre, asks readers to confront superficial assumptions about gender and beauty, and breathes new life into the canon of middle-grade realistic fiction.

The Amboy Affair Rick is thirty-six and was fired from his job as a commodities broker. If losing his job wasn't bad enough, his girl friend of two years terminates their relationship a week later. Rick is so depressed and heartbroken that he decides to leave St. Louis and head for Santa Monica, California to look for employment. He had always dreamed of following Route 66 across country and figured this was his opportunity. He stops in the small, remote, desert town of Amboy on Route 66 in California for gas and a bite to eat. He finds it to be peaceful and quiet there, so he decides to rent a motel cabin for three nights to relax and try to rid himself of feeling depressed. He meets a pretty girl at the restaurant that had stopped by to eat, and she invites him to accompany her on her monthly business trip from San Diego to Las Vegas. On the way they discover that she unknowingly has been transporting large sums of drug money to be laundered. Their greed for money results in their double-crossing the drug dealers by taking the money and going into hiding, which results in his once dull life becoming entwined in love, betrayal, intrigue and the constant fear of being tracked down and murdered. Sudden Change Once upon a time a baby girl was born to very wealthy parents and raised primarily by a nanny who catered to her every need. The parents also employed a full time maid, chef, chauffeur and servants, so she never had to do anything for herself. When turning sixteen, she demanded her parents buy her an expensive sports car, because she didn't want to be seen driving anything less, and she received one. She attended the very best private schools, and during her summer vacations she traveled the world. At the age of twenty-one, she had become an arrogant, selfish, self-centered individual. Her personality was such that no one cared to associate with her, and even her parents couldn't tolerate her un-forgiving behavior. They realized now they were the ones responsible for creating this unsociable monster by the way they had raised her. They felt it was their duty to try and correct the situation, or otherwise she would live a very lonely life and one without love. They deemed it necessary to take drastic corrective action to change her personality, and what the parents had planned for their daughter was beyond anyone's imagination.

1992 was a pivotal moment in African American history, with the Rodney King riots providing palpable evidence of racialized police brutality, media stereotyping of African Americans, and institutional discrimination. Following the twentieth anniversary of the Los Angeles uprising, this time period allows reflection on the shifting state of race in America, considering these stark realities as well as the election of the country's first black president, a growing African American middle class, and the black authors and artists significantly contributing to America's cultural output. Divided into six sections, (The African American Criminal in Culture and Media; Slave Voices and Bodies in Poetry and Plays; Representing African American Gender and Sexuality in Pop-Culture and Society; Black Cultural Production in Music and Dance; Obama and the Politics of Race; and Ongoing Realities and the Meaning of 'Blackness') this book is an engaging collection of chapters, varied in critical content and theoretical standpoints, linked by their intellectual stimulation and fascination with African American life, and questioning how and to what extent American culture and society is 'past' race. The chapters are united by an intertwined sense of progression and regression which addresses the diverse dynamics of continuity and change that have defined shifts in the African American experience over the past twenty years.
