Color-Blind by Tom Wise
Suggested Retail: $14.95
Columbus State Bookstore Price: $12.00
“At every turn and every corner, in every crevice and every crack, Tim Wise debunks the mythology of a color-blind society with the vigor of a statistician and the passion befitting one of the preeminent anti-racist theorists working today. You will literally lose your breath trying to keep up with the ways that Wise lays waste to the idea that we've achieved anything close to a 'post-race' society. If you don't know who Tim Wise is, you will after this book.” --Mark Anthony Neal,author of New Black Man and Professor of African & African-American Studies at Duke University
Passing Strange by Martha A. Sandweiss
Suggested Retail: $17.00
Columbus State Bookstore Price: $13.60
“This is a wonderfully intelligent and haunting book about love and race and secrets and revelations. The secrets were personal, and closely guarded. In showing how and why they remained secret, Marni Sandweiss reveals much about the American past and the American present.”
Richard White, Margaret Byrne Professor of American History, Stanford University, author of The Middle Ground:Indians, Empires and Republic in the Great Lakes Region, 1650-1815.
And a special book for Valentines Day!
My Blind Date Went Blind by Virginia Vitzthum
Suggested Retail: $8.95
Columbus State Bookstore Price: $7.16
“In her newest book, My Blind Date Went Blind: True Stories of Dates Gone Wrong, sex and relationship columnist Virginia Vitzthum curates an anthology of the absolutely worst dates one could imagine. It’s unfathomable how rude and obnoxious people can be on dates, and yet hope springs eternal. Men and women just keep on dating random strangers in hopes of finding a reasonable facsimile of “the one.” The collection includes stories that span the generations, from “The Greatest” to Millenniums, from the time before computers to the time when the casual hook-up became de rigueur. Along with cute little tips, offensive pick-up lines, and the occasional happy ending sprinkled throughout, My Blind Date Went Blind could be the perfect reading material while waiting for that cutie from OK Cupid.” --Marie Mundaca
