From Jim Crow to Eminem, white culture has been transformed by black music. To be so influenced by the boundless imagination of a race brought to America in chains sets up a fascinating irony, and Souled American, an ambitious and comprehensive look at race relations as seen through the prism of music, examines that irony fearlessly—with illuminating results. Tracing a direct line from plantation field hollers to gangsta rap, author Kevin Phinney explains how blacks and whites exist in a constant tug-of-war as they create, re-create, and claim each phase of popular music. Meticulously researched, the book includes dozens of exclusive celebrity interviews that reveal the day-to-day struggles and triumphs of sharing the limelight. Unique, intriguing, Souled American should be required reading for every American interested in music, in history, or in healing our country’s troubled race relations.

Hans forhold til sin mor gir leseren en forståelse for den sterke lojaliteten barn har til sine foreldre - og hvordan de etter beste evne forsøker å ta ansvar når en av disse mister grepet om sitt liv.

Vilt stor rikdom, ville intriger - en romantisk komedie helt utenom det vanlige. Første bok i herlig bestselgerserie om privilegerte utenlandskinesere. New York-paret Rachel og Nick er i ferd med å ta forholdet et skritt videre: Hun har sagt ja til å tilbringe sommeren i hans fødeland Singapore, hvor han skal være forlover i bestevennens bryllup. Rachel forventer kvalitetstid med mannen hun elsker og familien hun skal introduseres for i et vanlig, beskjedent barndomshjem. Det er bare noen små detaljer han har unnlatt å fortelle henne. Én: at barndomshjemmet hans ser ut som et palass, to: at han tilfeldigvis er landets mest ettertraktede ungkar. Arm i arm med Nick, er Rachel en skyteskive i det øyeblikket hun går av flyet, og snart er den avslappende ferien blitt til en hinderløype av gamle penger, nye penger, nysgjerrige slektninger og manipulerende konkurrenter.
