Six Feet Under - The Complete Fourth Season (2005)
This season is great. Claire's transformation from Morbid High School Chick to Artsy-Fartsy College Student is one of
it's highlights. This show has changed TV drama forever. Season 5 is an emotional roller-coaster.

Islam and the black american
Sherman.A.Jackson
Sherman Jackson offers a trenchant examination of the career of Islam among the blacks of America. Jackson notes that
no one has offered a convincing explanation of why Islam spread among Blackamericans (a coinage he explains and defends) but
not among white Americans or Hispanics. The assumption has been that there is an African connection. In fact, Jackson shows,
none of the distinctive features of African Islam appear in the proto-Islamic, black nationalist movements of the early 20th
century. Instead, he argues, Islam owes its momentum to the distinctively American phenomenon of "Black Religion," a God-centered
holy protest against anti-black racism. Islam in Black America begins as part of a communal search for tools with which to
combat racism and redefine American blackness.

Music
The Emancipation of Mimi
mariah carey
She has some of the most contemporary brilliance behind her like Twista, and Jermaine Dupri but she managed to hold onto
what makes her who she is. She incorporated the best in current R&B and balances all the best of her own vocal league
into a fantastic cd. VERY highly recommended.
