Deeply personal, wickedly insightful, and politically transformative, New Black Man is a must-read on black men and feminism in the 21st century. Neal demonstrates yet again why he is one of the leading scholar-activists of our time.David Ikard, chair of Africana Studies, University of Miami

Mark Anthony Neal is just about as dope as dope can get. In New Black Man, he provided the blueprint for a new generation of black men to do the work of interrogating masculinity, and a decade later it is still the definitive black male feminist text. It's a classic in every sense of the word.Mychal Denzel Smith, Knobler Fellow at The Nation Institute and contributing writer for The Nation
Mark Anthony Neal’s critique of old modes of discussing black masculinity is eloquent. Indeed, his analysis of the "the strong black man" and the risks that idea poses to black liberation is long overdue. Engaging, thoughtful, and soulful, this important book is part cultural criticism and part blueprint for a new version of black masculinity (without homophobia and misogyny). I, for one, welcome the arrival onto the scene of the "new black man."Dwight A. McBride, author of Why I Hate Abercrombie & Fitch: Essays on Race and Sexuality

You need oxygen to breathe more than the fetid air of homophobia, misogyny, antiblack racism in the empire and its possessions. Read Mark Anthony Neal’s New Black Man. Here, Neal redefines the "burden" and expands the struggle for a society free of denigration and violence.Joy James, author of Shadowboxing: Representations of Black Feminist Politics

Mark Anthony Neal has always been a daring scholar, but in this work he does pirouettes on a razor’s edge, deliberately and deftly defying the keepers of the weary worn "race man" trope and all its essentialist trappings.E. Patrick Johnson, author of Appropriating Blackness: Performance and the Politics of Authenticity

Mark Anthony Neal’s New Black Man is a fascinating exploration of an important scholar’s acknowledgement of black feminism as a central mode of cultural investigation and a mode of humane existence.Michael Awkward, author of Negotiating Difference: Race, Gender, and the Politics of Positionality

Part academic treatise, part soul-baring memoir, New Black Man is the unlikely offspring of hip-hop and feminism. … Neal offers a call to action by challenging not only the conventional white powers that be, but also the black men who sanction inequality by upholding patriarchy and heterosexism.Adam Bradley, The Washington Post

Far from being a dull polemic, Neal's　new　work is sharp, provocative, and often laugh-out-loud funny in the manner of Michael Eric Dyson and Ishmael Reed (caveat: Neal's language can be rough). … [T]his book is a clarion call that should be read by the entire African American community.Anthony J. Adam, Library Journal

Mark Anthony Neal’s New Black Man is an exploration of modern black masculinity put into conversation with progressive ideas of feminism, fatherhood, and antihomophobia. … For readers whose knowledge of African American feminism begins with Sojourner Truth and ends with bell hooks, the breadth of Neal’s scholarship will prove very useful.Malcolm Womack, Journal of Popular Culture

Throughout New Black Man, Neal's prose drifts interestingly from traditional professor to accessible hip-hop language. Neal presents a very interesting combination of the complexity that is the New Black Man.John C. Kilburn Jr., Magill Book Reviews
In a gripping "tell it like it is" style, Neal advocates a different role model—the "New Black Man"—and promotes a theoretical alliance with black feminism. … New Black Man will be an asset to many undergraduate and graduate courses.Jo-Ann Morgan, Journal of American Culture

"This elegantly conceived and meticulously executed collection scores a palpable double hit: deepening our understanding of financial crises and transforming our knowledge of financial journalism. Above all it marks a historiographical step-change through its sophisticated reading across the last two centuries of that elusive but symbiotic relationship between the ‘actors’ (whether individuals or markets) and their interpreters in the media. To anyone seriously interested in financial matters, this is a mandatory text."
David Kynaston, professional historian and author of The Financial Times: A Centenary History
"This is a cogent and multidimensional examination of business and financial reporting during times of economic crises and commercial fiascos. It provides insightful and integrated analysis of the roles, quandaries and performance of media during economic shocks across the past two centuries and is a compelling appraisal of how media cover and influence economic, financial, and commercial activities and public responses." 
Robert G. Picard, Reuters Institute, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford

"The media and the financial sectors are both criticised for being over-powerful and lacking public accountability. This collection of essays - from some of the most knowledgeable academics with experience of both fields - tackles that issue head-on and is essential reading for anyone interested in the role and effectiveness of business journalism."
Richard Sambrook, Professor of Journalism and Director of the Centre for Journalism, Cardiff University

The most comprehensive--and the most detailed--examination of families in Asia published to date. A major achievement that significantly advances our understanding of how cultures, structures, and kin dynamics intersect.  Particularly impressive is the skillful combination of comparative analysis and multidisciplinary perspective, making for a volume that has both substantive and methodological value. Essential reading for family scholars across the globe.  Ralph LaRossa, Georgia State University, USAThis book is remarkably revealing about both modern Asia and present-day family life in an unfamiliar cultural setting. The articles, by eminent family sociologists, all deserve close attention. The articles on dating, courtship, and the marital relationship by editor Stella Quah were especially fascinating. I also learned a lot from Susan McDaniel’s article on the family life course and Chin-chun Yi’s article on adolescence and the transition to adulthood..Lorne Tepperman, University of Toronto, Canada

"As schools and teachers begin the process of aligning to the Common Core, Amy Benjamin gives teachers a clear understanding of what close reading means. In her book, she gives help in developing both summative and formative assessments that they can use to help their students raise their level of competence with close reading of complex texts. This book emphasizes best teaching practices and suggestions for helping teachers scaffold lessons for all students in the age of the Common Core."

"Focus on Text is an excellent resource for teachers and instructional leaders who are working to align instruction and assessment to the Common Core. The book provides learning activities that engage students in the proficiencies outlined in the Common Core, and assessments that measure the level of proficiency students have gained when working within a particular reading standard. Amy Benjamin helps teachers understand what kinds of practices and assessments are rigorous enough to help students truly master the standards." 
--Mary O’Meara, English Department Chairperson, Hewlett-Woodmere Public Schools, NY
