    Chezare A. Warren chronicles the transition of a cohort of young Black males from Urban Prep Charter Academy for Young Men to their early experiences in higher education. A rich and closely observed account of a mission-driven school and its students, Urban Preparation makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how young males of color can best be served in schools throughout the United States today. 
 
 
  
A founding teacher at Urban Prep, Warren offers a detailed exploration of what this single-sex public high school on the South Side of Chicago has managed to accomplish amid profoundly challenging circumstances. He provides a comprehensive portrait of the school—its leaders, teachers, and professional staff; its students; and the community that the school aims to serve—and highlights how preparation for higher education is central to its mission. 
 
 
  
Warren focuses on three main goals: to describe Urban Prep's plans and efforts to prepare young Black males for college; to understand how race, community, poverty, and the school contributed, in complex and interrelated ways, to the academic goals of these students; and to offer a wide-ranging set of conclusions about the school environments and conditions that might help young Black males throughout the country succeed in high school and college.

    The Black Death, one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, left an indelible mark on the medieval world. From the mid-14th century, this catastrophic event wiped out an estimated one-third of Europe's population, with ramifications extending far beyond the immediate loss of life. Its legacy endures, not only in historical accounts but also in the cultural, social, and economic transformations it triggered. 
  
The pandemic’s unparalleled scale of mortality created a sense of collective trauma that shaped the mindset of medieval society. Fear, uncertainty, and grief were pervasive, leading to widespread shifts in religious devotion and philosophical thought. For some, the plague strengthened their faith, prompting public acts of penance and increased church attendance. For others, it inspired skepticism about religious authority, paving the way for future reforms and dissent. This dual response reflects the Black Death's role as both a destroyer of tradition and a catalyst for change. 
  
Economically, the pandemic dramatically altered the medieval labor market. The decimation of the population led to acute labor shortages, forcing landowners to offer better wages and conditions to retain workers. This shift empowered peasants and contributed to the gradual erosion of the feudal system, giving rise to a nascent middle class. The newfound leverage of laborers sowed the seeds of social mobility, challenging the rigid hierarchies that had long defined medieval life.

“American Whitelash is indispensable. Really. It is.” – Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist 
Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Wesley Lowery confronts the sickness at the heart of American society: the cyclical pattern of violence that has marred every moment of racial progress in this country, and whose bloodshed began anew following Obama’s 2008 election. 
In 2008, Barack Obama’s historic victory was heralded as a turning point for the country. And so it would be—just not in the way that most Americans hoped. The election of the nation’s first Black president fanned long-burning embers of white supremacy, igniting a new and frightening phase in a historical American cycle of racial progress and white backlash. 
In American Whitelash, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and best-selling author Wesley Lowery charts the return of this blood-stained trend, showing how the forces of white power retaliated against Obama’s victory—and both profited from, and helped to propel, the rise of Donald Trump. Interweaving deep historical analysis with gripping firsthand reporting on both victims and perpetrators of violence, Lowery uncovers how this vicious cycle is carrying us into ever more perilous territory, how the federal government has failed to intervene, and how we still might find a route of escape.
