African American Communication: Examining the Complexities of Lived Experiences (Routledge Communication Series)

Now in its third edition, this text examines how African Americans personally and culturally define themselves and how that definition informs their communication habits, practices, and norms. This edition includes new chapters that highlight discussions of gender and sexuality, intersectional differences, contemporary social movements, and digital and mediated communication. The book is ideally suited for advanced students and scholars in intercultural communication, interpersonal communication, communication theory, African American/Black studies, gender studies, and family studies.

Ask Audrey herself and she’ll tell you that she has no idea who she is, because her entire life is a lie. However, the older she gets the more she needs answers about who she really is. What she discovers is a tangled web of secrets better left in the dark. Some truths do more harm than good. ***Recommended for readers 18+ due to sensitive subject matter, language and situations.

Andrew Lyons has been running from responsibility his entire life. Returning home after a couple of years abroad, he finds himself jobless and living in close quarters with a sister he can barely tolerate. At her request, he searches for a job on Craigslist, but finds a room for rent instead. Or so he thinks. Gwen Stone is in a lurch. With a new promotion at work and two young children at home, she's in dire need of a caretaker. When Andrew shows up on her doorstep, she thinks he may be exactly what she's looking for. When she offers him the job, he's more than interested and she's confident she's made the right choice. It shouldn't be awkward at all. But Andrew isn't exactly forthcoming about his intentions, and Gwen has some secrets she's unwilling to share. When the mom and the "manny" don't have a clue what they're doing, things are bound to get messy. What do you get with two kids who don't know how to be kids, a man who never grew up, Beatles Rock Band, and hundreds of hours of kids' TV? A very interesting job, indeed. But when emotions get in the way, there's more at stake than just an occupation.
