Publisher's Notes
In Just Between Girlfriends, Chrisena Coleman shares stories of famous friends and everyday friends, old friends and new friends, best friends and lost friends, soul mates and confidantes. She captures the soul-filled flavor of African-American culture, which resonates with themes of acceptance, strength, loyalty, and love. Inspirational and sprinkled with humor, this collection contains a cast of unforgettable friends. Find everlasting friendship in the middle of a snowstorm with Gayle King and Oprah Winfrey: flip out with Dominique Dawes, Crystal Bennett, and Umme Salim; discover solidarity and sisterhood with Dr. Betty Shabazz, Myrlie Evers-Williams, and Coretta Scott King. Along with charming line drawings, more wise words and anecdotes about how to spot a true-blue girlfriend are sprinkled throughout the book. And to nourish the seed that these tales have planted, there's a calendar of girlfriends-only get-togethers. For every month of the year, Coleman has devised a creative plan to make room for some quality time and to let loose - there are ideas for a pity party, for how to make spring cleaning fun, and a New Year's Eve Gong Show.

Nigger
by Randall Kennedy
"Nigger": it is arguably the most consequential social insult in American history, though, at the same time, a word that reminds us of "the ironies and dilemmas, tragedies and glories of the American experience." In this tour de force, distinguished Harvard Law School professor Randall Kennedy--author of the highly acclaimed RACE, CRIME, AND THE LAW--"put[s] a tracer on nigger," to identify how it has been used and by whom, while analyzing the controversies to which it has given rise. With unprecedented candor and insight Kennedy explores such questions as: How should "nigger" be defined? Is it, as some have declared, necessarily more hurtful than other racial epithets? Do blacks have a right to use "nigger" even as others do not? Should the law view "nigger" baiting as a provocation strong enough to reduce the culpability of a person who responds violently to it? Should a person be fired from his or her job for saying "nigger"? How might the destructiveness of "nigger" be assuaged? To be ignorant of the meanings and effects of "nigger", says Kennedy, is to render oneself vulnerable to all manner of peril. This book brilliantly and sensitively addresses that concern
