Yellow Race In America Beyond Black and White By Frank H. Wu Published by Basic Books www.basicbooks.com

Because the foundations of western civilization lie in the societies of ancient Greece and Rome, it's not surprising that many of our modern business theories and strategies can be traced back to the classical world. Wisdom from the Ancients: Enduring Business Lessons from Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and the Illustrious Leaders of Ancient Greece and Rome offers a collection of historical excerpts and quotations from the great minds of antiquity, bringing alive for today's managers the timeless insights and accomplishments of emperors, philosophers, orators, politicians, warriors, playwrights, and other heroes. Compiled by a team of classical historians, the passages in Wisdom from the Ancients prove that although the scope of business has changed considerably since the times of Homer and Aristotle, the philosophy of business has not. Illustrating the relevance of these ancient ideas to today's business world, the authors place historical quotations in context and offer advice on topics including leadership, strategy, competition, communication, networking, business ethics, and risk-taking. For example, the authors look to Xenophon, the noted Greek historian, for his wisdom on handling business affairs: for career and leadership advice, they examine the thoughts and careers of colorful personalities such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Claudius. With a timeline as well as glossary of ancient authors and historical figures, Wisdom from the Ancients animates the classical world. From delegation and negotiation to managing conflict and effective communication skills, this collection offers inspiring— and enduring—ideas for today's managers. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Thomas J.

As the 2000 U.S. Census results showed us, the color of America is evolving. While the racial make-up of the country becomes less black and white, the questions of what constitutes racism, who benefits from government policies, and how the social experiences of different racial groups differ are being brought into sharper focus. In YELLOW, Howard University law professor and ethnic activist Wu uses the experiences of Asian Americans to challenge traditional ideas of civil rights limited to the experiences of Blacks and Whites. • Wu addresses some the most controversial contemporary public policy issues in YELLOW—including discrimination, immigration, diversity, globalization, and the mixed race movement—using Asian American examples to make larger points about race relations in the coming century. • Mixing personal anecdotes, social science research, legal cases, history, and original journalistic reporting, Wu also tackles Asian American stereotypes (such as "the model minority" and "the perpetual foreigner"), showing that though positive, they can have very damaging effects on individuals within the community and without. The result is a provocative and fresh perspective on American race relations written in the tradition of W.E.B. DuBois, Cornel West, and other public intellectuals who confronted the "color line" of the 20th century. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Frank H.
