NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A PARADE BEST BOOK OF ALL TIME • From the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner—a powerful examination of our obsession with beauty and conformity that asks questions about race, class, and gender with characteristic subtly and grace.
 
In Morrison’s acclaimed first novel, Pecola Breedlove—an 11-year-old Black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others—prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment.
 
Here, Morrison’s writing is “so precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry” (The New York Times).

Celie is a poor black woman whose letters tell the story of 20 years of her life, beginning at age 14 when she is being abused and raped by her father and attempting to protect her sister from the same fate, and continuing over the course of her marriage to "Mister," a brutal man who terrorizes her. Celie eventually learns that her abusive husband has been keeping her sister's letters from her and the rage she feels, combined with an example of love and independence provided by her close friend Shug, pushes her finally toward an awakening of her creative and loving self.

"A pungent play of ideas with a big heart. Yellow Face brings to the national discussion about race a sense of humor a mile wide, an even-handed treatment and a hopeful, healing vision of a world that could be."--Variety "Charming, touching, and cunningly organized as well as funny, with] an Ibsenite reach and stature far beyond any issues of Hwang's self-image."--The Village Voice "It's about our country, about public image, about face," says David Henry Hwang about his latest work, a mock documentary that puts Hwang himself center stage as it explores both Asian identity as well as race in America. The play begins with the 1990s controversy over color-blind casting for Miss Saigon, before it spins into a comic fantasy, in which the character DHH pens a play in protest and then unwittingly casts a white actor as the Asian lead. Yellow Face also explores the real-life investigation of Hwang's father, the first Asian American to own a federally chartered bank, and the espionage charges against physicist Wen Ho Lee. Adroitly combining the light touch of comedy with weighty political and emotional issues, "Hwang's lively and provocative cultural self-portrait lets nobody off the hook" (The New York Times). David Henry Hwang is the author of the Tony Award-winning M. Butterfly, a finalist for the 1988 Pulitzer Prize. Other plays include Golden Child, FOB, The Dance and the Railroad, and Family Devotions; his opera libretti include three works for composer Philip Glass. He was appointed by President Clinton to the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities.

Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see black youth seated together in the cafeteria. Of course, it's not just the black kids sitting together-the white, Latino, Asian Pacific, and, in some regions, American Indian youth are clustered in their own groups, too. The same phenomenon can be observed in college dining halls, faculty lounges, and corporate cafeterias. What is going on here? Is this self-segregation a problem we should try to fix, or a coping strategy we should support? How can we get past our reluctance to talk about racial issues to even discuss it? And what about all the other questions we and our children have about race? Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, asserts that we do not know how to talk about our racial differences: Whites are afraid of using the wrong words and being perceived as "racist" while parents of color are afraid of exposing their children to painful racial realities too soon. Using real-life examples and the latest research, Tatum presents strong evidence that straight talk about our racial identities-whatever they may be-is essential if we are serious about facilitating communication across racial and ethnic divides. We have waited far too long to begin our conversations about race. This remarkable book, infused with great wisdom and humanity, has already helped hundreds of thousands of readers figure out where to start.

Challenges dogma and dispels cliches that have long clung to topics involving race, ethnicity and culture.

Solomon Northup（切瓦特·埃加福特 Chiwetel Ejiofor 饰）本来是一个自由人，以演奏小提琴为生，有一个妻子和两个孩子，生活其乐融融。不料他却被两个白人以为马戏团表演伴奏所骗，去了华盛顿，一觉醒来发现自己成了黑奴。起初他被卖给了Ford先生（本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇 Benedict Cumberbatch 饰），在庄园里当奴隶。不久又被卖给了素有“黑奴终结者”之称的Epps先生（迈克尔·法斯宾德 Michael Fassbender 饰），他在种植园里日复一日地采摘棉花，也目睹了许多黑奴的悲剧。12年过去了，他始终没有放弃重回自由人的希望，直到遇到了一个思想进步的人士——木匠Bass先生（布拉德·皮特 Brad Pitt 饰）。Solomon是否能结束他身为奴隶的命运？
本片根据Solomon Northup的真人真事改编。

美国南部的梅岗镇上住着父亲芬奇(格利高里·派克 Gregory Peck 饰)和他的一对儿女。尽管妻子已经亡故，一家人仍过得乐也融融，芬奇对儿女亦既严格又疼爱有加。父亲平时还对他们说过，不要杀死为人类唱歌的知更鸟，因为她们善良而从不伤害人。
芬奇除了是一个慈父，还是当地一名勇于伸张正义的律师。这天他接到一宗强奸案，被告是黑人罗宾逊（布洛克·皮特Brock Peters 饰），而受害者是一名白人女子。这样一个案件，在那个种族歧视相当严重的年代，罗宾逊的境况堪忧。即使芬奇找到了他没有犯罪的证据，也不足以让人们抛开种族成见。芬奇在法庭上奋力维护事实和法律的公正，然而却没能阻止人们根深蒂固的偏见。更糟糕的是，怀有种族偏见的白人已经把芬奇当作公敌，而罗宾逊也无法洗清罪名，更可悲的命运在等待着他。

威尔·史密斯饰演真实历史人物：饱受折磨后逃出美国南方奴隶主奴役的黑人彼得、美国奴隶制的著名“证据”照片的主人公。
影片风格被描述为比起《为奴十二年》，更像梅尔·吉布森执导的《启示录》，Willam N. Collage写剧本，故事来自彼得的真实经历：他从奴隶主手中逃出，忍受着冷血的猎人的追杀和路易斯安那州危险的沼泽，一路向北。而当逃到北方军中，接受检查时，彼得露出了自己被种植园中的监工鞭笞得累累伤痕的后背。这一幕被拍成了著名的照片“被鞭打的脊背”(the scourged back)，刊登在1863年5月的《Independent》，以及当年7月4日的《Harper’s Weekly》。该照片成为美国奴隶制残忍暴行的证据之一，发布后推动了废奴运动和促使许多自由的黑人加入联邦军，并流传到世界各地，传言称这张照片使得法国等国家拒绝从美国南方购买棉花。

Following the roots and evolution of racist concepts in the United States in order to understand today's society.

Twins, inseparable as children, ultimately choose to live in two very different worlds: one black and one white.

The Vignes sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything, including their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. Across the country, the other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, although separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen when their own daughters' story lines intersect?

Weaving together multiple strands and generations, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, The Vanishing Half is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of of race, gender, and identity, and the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's desires and expectations.

Called “powerful and provocative" by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, author of the New York Times bestselling How to be an Antiracist, this explosive book of history and cultural criticism reveals how white feminism has been used as a weapon of white supremacy and patriarchy deployed against Black and Indigenous women, and women of color.

Taking us from the slave era, when white women fought in court to keep “ownership” of their slaves, through the centuries of colonialism, when they offered a soft face for brutal tactics, to the modern workplace, White Tears/Brown Scars tells a charged story of white women’s active participation in campaigns of oppression. It offers a long overdue validation of the experiences of women of color.

Discussing subjects as varied as The Hunger Games, Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez, the viral BBQ Becky video, and 19th century lynchings of Mexicans in the American Southwest, Ruby Hamad undertakes a new investigation of gender and race. She shows how the division between innocent white women and racialized, sexualized women of color was created, and why this division is crucial to confront.

Along the way, there are revelatory responses to questions like: Why are white men not troubled by sexual assault on women? (See Christine Blasey Ford.) With rigor and precision, Hamad builds a powerful argument about the legacy of white superiority that we are socialized within, a reality that we must apprehend in order to fight.

"A stunning and thorough look at White womanhood that should be required reading for anyone who claims to be an intersectional feminist. Hamad’s controlled urgency makes the book an illuminating and poignant read. Hamad is a purveyor of such bold thinking, the only question is, are we ready to listen?" —Rosa Boshier, The Washington Post
