"Antwaneisha," "Brionshay" and "Tayvion"--for some, pronouncing these names are a daunting task, and for others, it's a symbol of cultural identity. Black Names Matter: The Black Names Book defines names commonly referred to as "Ghetto," "Ratchet" and "Hood," in American society by dissecting them. The lesson that the book teaches is that the majority of "Black Names" aren't African, but are unique names that come from combinations of two or more names, names constructed with common prefixes and suffixes, and much more. In many cases, names are "conjugated" with a formula that can be applied to names such as "DaNiqua," "LaNisha," and "Tayshaun." The book also contains research on the impact Black names can have on getting a job interview. In addition, the book has a glossary of "common" American names from which Black names are derived. Black Names Matter: The Black Names Book is the first installment in what may be an ongoing investigation into unique naming conventions used by different ethnic groups in America. As well as a second edition to this book from the suggestions received by readers to our author. Reader suggestions for names can be emailed to: [email protected].

Can you pronounce "Antwaneisha," "Breionshay," or "Tayvarius"? The Black Names Book investigates the origin of names commonly referred to as "Ghetto," "Ratchet" and "Hood," in American society by dissecting them. The lesson that the book teaches is that the lion share of "Black Names" aren't African at all, but are unique names that come from combinations of two or more names, names constructed with common prefixes and suffixes, "foreign" names, and names of other nouns. In many cases, names are "conjugated" with a formula that can be applied to names such as DaNiqua, LaNisha, and Tayshaun. In between the different naming conventions, research is addressed regarding the affect that these unique names have on society such as getting job interviews. At the back of the book is a glossary of the "Base Names" which are the "common" names that the Black Names are derived from. Reader suggestions for names can be emailed to: [email protected]

This definitive guide to America's present-day racial reckoning examines the forces that pushed our unjust system to its breaking point after the death of George Floyd. For many, the story of the weeks of protests in the summer of 2020 began with the horrific nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds when Police Officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd on camera, and it ended with the sweeping federal, state, and intrapersonal changes that followed. It is a simple story, wherein white America finally witnessed enough brutality to move their collective consciousness. The only problem is that it isn't true. George Floyd was not the first Black man to be killed by police—he wasn’t even the first to inspire nation-wide protests—yet his death came at a time when America was already at a tipping point. In Say Their Names, five seasoned journalists probe this critical shift. With a piercing examination of how inequality has been propagated throughout history, from Black imprisonment and the Convict Leasing program to long-standing predatory medical practices to over-policing, the authors highlight the disparities that have long characterized the dangers of being Black in America. They examine the many moderate attempts to counteract these inequalities, from the modern Civil Rights movement to Ferguson, and how the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others pushed compliance with an unjust system to its breaking point. Finally, they outline the momentous changes that have resulted from this movement, while at the same time proposing necessary next steps to move forward. With a combination of penetrating, focused journalism and affecting personal insight, the authors bring together their collective years of reporting, creating a cohesive and comprehensive understanding of racial inequality in America.
