Brown
Sugar 2
Great One
Night Stands
A Collection of Erotic
Black Fiction
Edited by Carol Taylor A literary anthology with a seductive
difference, the best selling Brown Sugar was widely
acclaimed for its honest, taboo and stereotype-defying portrayal
of black love and sexuality. Hailed by essence as
"audaciously refreshing, insightful and provocative"
and praised by Honey Magazine as "particularly
intelligent, varied and sexy," this distinguished erotic
anthology won the 2001 Gold Pen Award for Best Short Story
Collection and clinched the #2 spot on the Los Angeles Times
bestseller list. As the book she brilliantly conceived sizzled
its way to commercial and literary success editor, Carol Taylor,
did not rest on her laurels, instead she got to work on the next
collection enlisting even more of today's hottest black writers.
That hotly-anticipated follow-up is
Brown
Sugar 2:
Great One
Night Stands (Washington Square Press
Trade Paperback Original; Publication Date: January 1, 2003;
ISBN: 0-7434-4244-X; Price $14.00). In Brown Sugar 2
Taylor brings together eighteen never-before-published stories
exploring a striking array of sexual experiences centered on a
single encounter -- the one-night stand. As Taylor says in her
compelling and insightful introduction: "Brown Sugar became
a bestseller because the stories were not just about sex; they
were sexy stories about black life in all its myriad forms. That
is the beauty of being black, our diversity. And though we do
not know it, our diversity is also our greatest strength."
Brown
Sugar 2 features renowned black
authors writing outside of the genre they are known for, but in
their own unique style, creating sexually real and emotionally
vulnerable, women and men. Whether born in the North, South,
East, or West, or the Caribbean, whether living uptown, downtown
or in small town middle America; whether a college freshmen or a
sexy senior citizen; the collection's eclectic characters share
a common bond: the yearning for a purely passionate connection
for just that moment. "A one-night stand is not about the
unremarkable, the practical or the mundane," Taylor states.
"It is about the fantasy of what could be though we know it
will not be and the beauty of not caring. Either way, it feels
good to be bad. That's probably why we do it."

The Price of Civilization
Reawakening American Virtue and Prosperity
By Jeffrey D. Sachs
The Price of Civilization is a book that is essential reading for every American. In a forceful, impassioned, and personal voice, he offers not only a searing and incisive diagnosis of our country’s economic ills but also an urgent call for Americans to restore the virtues of fairness, honesty, and foresight as the foundations of national prosperity. Sachs finds that both political parties—and many leading economists—have missed the big picture, offering shortsighted solutions such as stimulus spending or tax cuts to address complex economic problems that require deeper solutions. Sachs argues that we have profoundly underestimated globalization’s long-term effects on our country, which create deep and largely unmet challenges with regard to jobs, incomes, poverty, and the environment. America’s single biggest economic failure, Sachs argues, is its inability to come to grips with the new global economic realities. Sachs describes a political system that has lost its ethical moorings, in which ever-rising campaign contributions and lobbying outlays overpower the voice of the citizenry. . . . Sachs offers a plan to turn the crisis around. He argues persuasively that the problem is not America’s abiding values, which remain generous and pragmatic, but the ease with which political spin and consumerism run circles around those values. He bids the reader to reclaim the virtues of good citizenship and mindfulness toward the economy and one another. |

Sex at the Margins
Migration, Labour Markets and the Rescue Industry
By Laura María Agustín
This book explodes several myths: that selling sex is completely different from any other kind of work, that migrants who sell sex are passive victims and that the multitude of people out to save them are without self-interest. Laura Agustín makes a passionate case against these stereotypes, arguing that the label 'trafficked' does not accurately describe migrants' lives and that the 'rescue industry' serves to disempower them. Based on extensive research amongst both migrants who sell sex and social helpers, Sex at the Margins provides a radically different analysis. Frequently, says Agustin, migrants make rational choices to travel and work in the sex industry, and although they are treated like a marginalised group they form part of the dynamic global economy. Both powerful and controversial, this book is essential reading for all those who want to understand the increasingly important relationship between sex markets, migration and the desire for social justice. "Sex at the Margins rips apart distinctions between migrants, service work and sexual labour and reveals the utter complexity of the contemporary sex industry. This book is set to be a trailblazer in the study of sexuality."—Lisa Adkins, University of London |
