Race is, and always has been, an explosive issue in the United States. In this timely new book, Tim Wise explores how Barack Obama?s emergence as a political force is taking the race debate to new levels. According to Wise, for many white people, Obama?s rise signifies the end of racism as a pervasive social force; they point to Obama not only as a validation of the American ideology that anyone can make it if they work hard, but also as an example of how institutional barriers against people of color have all but vanished. But is this true? And does a reinforced white belief in color-blind meritocracy potentially make it harder to address ongoing institutional racism? After all, in housing, employment, the justice system, and education, the evidence is clear: white privilege and discrimination against people of color are still operative and actively thwarting opportunities, despite the success of individuals like Obama.Is black success making it harder for whites to see the problem of racism, thereby further straining race relations, or will it challenge anti-black stereotypes to such an extent that racism will diminish and race relations improve? Will blacks in power continue to be seen as an ?exception? in white eyes? Is Obama ?acceptable? because he seems ?different from most blacks,? who are still viewed too often as the dangerous and inferior ?other??"From the Civil Rights struggle, to Dr. King's dream, to Barack Obama's election, Tim Wise provides us with an extremely important and timely analysis of the increasing complexity of race on the American political and social landscape. Between Barack and a Hard Place: Racism and White Denial in the Age of Obama provides an insightful and much needed lens through which we can begin to navigate this current stage in our ongoing quest for a more inclusive definition of who we are as a nation. It's definitely a book for these times!"?Danny Glover"Tim Wise has looked behind the curtain. In Between Barack and a Hard Place he explores the real issues of race in the Obama campaign and incoming presidency, issues that the mainstream media has chosen to ignore. His book debunks any notion that the United States has entered a post-racial period; instead he identifies the problems that emerge in the context of the victory of a black presidential candidate who chose to run an essentially non-racial campaign. With this book, Wise hits the bull's eye."?Bill Fletcher"Wise outlines?how racism and white privilege have morphed to fit the modern social landscape. In prose that reads like his lightening rod speeches, he draws from a long list of high-profile campaign examples to define what he calls 'Racism 2.0,' a more insidious form of racism that actually allows for and celebrates the achievements of individual people of color because they're seen as the exceptions, not the rules."?Jamilah King, Colorlines"This book makes an intriguing argument and is packed with insight. Wise clearly explains the complexity of institutional racism in contemporary society. He continuously reminds the reader that Obama's victory may signal the entrenchment of a more complicated, subtle, and insidious form of racism. The jury is still out."?Jeff Torlina, Multicultural ReviewTim Wise is among the most prominent antiracist writers and activists in the US and has appeared on ABC's 20/20 and MSNBC Live. His previous books include Speaking Treason Fluently and White Like Me.

The Volkswagen Group gives a positive account of its commitment to the International Weeks Against Racism, a United Nations initiative. During the period from 13 to 26 March, Volkswagen sent out a clear signal against discrimination and xenophobia with a variety of initiatives. Group-wide, hundreds of employees of the brands, subsidiaries and locations participated in a photo campaign and showed their faces for a good cause. Chairman of the Board of Management Matthias Müller also chose to be photographed for the campaign and called for a clear stance against racism: "We live in a world in which increasingly undisguised intolerance is stirred up and the equality of people is questioned. Those who do that like to refer to themselves as the voice of the people. But they are not." Read more: http://bit.ly/2nZz1pR
SAY that the men of the old black tower,
Though they but feed as the goatherd feeds,
Their money spent, their wine gone sour,
Lack nothing that a soldier needs,
That all are oath-bound men:
Those banners come not in.
There in the tomb stand the dead upright,
But winds come up from the shore:
They shake when the winds roar,
Old bones upon the mountain shake.
Those banners come to bribe or threaten,
Or whisper that a man's a fool
Who, when his own right king's forgotten,
Cares what king sets up his rule.
If he died long ago
Why do yopu dread us so?
There in the tomb drops the faint moonlight,
But wind comes up from the shore:
They shake when the winds roar,
Old bones upon the mountain shake.
The tower's old cook that must climb and clamber
Catching small birds in the dew of the morn
When we hale men lie stretched in slumber
Swears that he hears the king's great horn.
But he's a lying hound:
Stand we on guard oath-bound!
There in the tomb the dark grows blacker,
But wind comes up from the shore:
They shake when the winds roar,
Old bones upon the mountain shake.

For a nation that often optimistically claims to be post-racial, we are still mired in the practices of racial inequality that plays out in law, policy, and in our local communities. One of two explanations is often given for this persistent phenomenon: On the one hand, we might be hypocritical saying one thing, and doing or believing another; on the other, it might have little to do with us individually but rather be inherent to the structure of American society.More Beautiful and More Terrible compels us to think beyond this insufficient dichotomy in order to see how racial inequality is perpetuated. Imani Perry asserts that the U.S. is in a new and distinct phase of racism that is post-intentional: neither based on the intentional discrimination of the past, nor drawing upon biological concepts of race. Drawing upon the insights and tools of critical race theory, social policy, law, sociology and cultural studies, she demonstrates how post-intentional racism works and maintains that it cannot be addressed solely through the kinds of structural solutions of the Left or the values arguments of the Right. Rather, the author identifies a place in the middle a space of righteous hope and articulates a notion of ethics and human agency that will allow us to expand and amplify that hope.To paraphrase James Baldwin, when talking about race, it is both more terrible than most think, but also more beautiful than most can imagine, with limitless and open-ended possibility. Perry leads readers down the path of imagining the possible and points to the way forward."

Great blessings are bestowed upon mankind
So many in number hard to bear in mind
Yet, as on fate the time carves acerbic remarks
Around the girth of sentiments, the lives wind
Among the options we have to make a choice
And often the ones endearing, we must sacrifice
If for an affection, we willingly burn through hell
For the sake of other we put ourselves on ice
Why is life made so complicated
Why does truth have to be edited
While the ones loving with honour, are to be left behind
Why those who affront us must be uplifted
The hardships, aggression, endeavour and pain
Going through the war of emotions, what is the gain
A simple end it is to the intricate life
We take nothing along hereafter, all is gone in vain

The full moon is out,
Her divine gown is flittering
In the fugue of night.
We sit here in
The midst of an acrid wind,
On the highest height.
We look down
From the hill
At the circus below.
Lit with neon,
Our picture show.
We are simply
Tattoos along the jewel
Of the full moon.
Daylight is far,
Sleep is gone,
The night is our boon.
The trees are lulled
Into a
Swaying romance.
Maybe we should
Follow them, come,
Let us dance.
