Book Description
One of my earliest memories is having a box in our kitchen with food stuffs we were sending to my German father's family in the Baltic region which at that time was part of Germany during WWII. On my mother's side we have a Jewish connection. As a result of these experiences I decided to celebrate this diversity in a story. Most of the Holocaust stories coming from this era are dark. Rather than portray another of these, I wish to portray light in a dark time. This story takes place in Eastern Europe during WWII involving a young Jewish girl and a young German boy. She is suffering retributions on the German side of the Polish border because of her ethnicity, and ultimately finds herself in the Warsaw Ghetto waiting for her extermination. The young German boy finds himself suffering a similiar fate on the Russian side of the border having been enslaved in a labor camp. Their lives finally cross in an underground resistance movement. Both are suspicious of the other because of their opposing ethnicities, but they soon come to a realization that neither of their traditions had ever allowed them to examine. That they are neither Jew nor German only two young people who only want life. Able to set their prejudices aside, they conjoin in an unseemly relationship and make their way through this labyrinth of insanity.

Book Description
"A stirring work . . . images meet text to convey a most handsome portrait of Black barbering in America as a revered cultural practice. Honest, intelligent, poignant—You Next is brilliant from cover to cover." —Maurice Wallace, Rutgers University An intimate photographic exploration of the ways Black barber shops operate as sites for the cultivation of Black male identity and wellness Growing up, getting a haircut was a weekly event Antonio M. Johnson looked forward to more than anything. There in that tilted chair surrounded by members of his community and totems of a shared experience, Johnson felt safe—felt like anything was possible. Barber shops are more than places simply to get a cut. They are where Black men can speak and receive feedback about who we are, who we want to be, and what we believe to be true about the world around us. The interpretation of the barber shop as community center falls short of capturing what they really are for so many Black men: sanctuaries in a hostile land. You Next is an intimate photographic exploration of Black barber shops in major US cities—Gary, Indiana; Washington DC; New York City; Oakland; Atlanta; Los Angeles; Detroit; New Orleans; Montgomery; Memphis, and Johnson's hometown of Philadelphia. These photos, interviews, and essays tell the full story of the Black barber shop in America.

Book Description
No Barber Left Behind (NBLB) was created to fill the void for barbers who want to do more than just cut hair. Cutting hair is what got us started, but there is so much more to the barbering business than just giving a crispy shapeup, a fresh design, or a nice haircut. Either you already have the barbering part down packed or you are on your way, but are you business savvy? Most of us don't have much or any college experience, so NBLB will be a Barbering 101 course, like a Barbering Business for Dummies book, to help us make the most out of this billion-dollar beauty industry. Most things in the beauty industry are stylist or cosmetology influenced, not NBLB. Even though a lot of the business knowledge can be used by stylists, this book is intended to ensure that no barber gets left behind. NBLB was designed to answer the most common questions all new barbers have when it comes to getting started. Like how to advertise, how to build and maintain a healthy clientele, and how to make money from behind the chair. NBLB was also designed for the veteran barber who could use knowledge on business management and incorporating your business. This book can be used as the barbers bible; it will cover all aspects of the barber business, so take notes, pay attention, and enjoy.

Book Description
Looking through the lens of black business history, Beauty Shop Politics shows how black beauticians in the Jim Crow era parlayed their economic independence and access to a public community space into platforms for activism. Tiffany M. Gill argues that the beauty industry played a crucial role in the creation of the modern black female identity and that the seemingly frivolous space of a beauty salon actually has stimulated social, political, and economic change. From the founding of the National Negro Business League in 1900 and onward, African Americans have embraced the entrepreneurial spirit by starting their own businesses, but black women's forays into the business world were overshadowed by those of black men. With a broad scope that encompasses the role of gossip in salons, ethnic beauty products, and the social meanings of African American hair textures, Gill shows how African American beauty entrepreneurs built and sustained a vibrant culture of activism in beauty salons and schools. Enhanced by lucid portrayals of black beauticians and drawing on archival research and oral histories, Beauty Shop Politics conveys the everyday operations and rich culture of black beauty salons as well as their role in building community.
