In 1948, Moss Kendrix, a former New Deal public relations officer, founded a highly successful, Washington, D.C.-based public relations firm, the flagship client of which was the Coca-Cola Company. As the first black pitchman for Coca-Cola, Kendrix found his way into the rarefied world of white corporate America. His personal phone book also included the names of countless black celebrities, such as bandleader Duke Ellington, singer-actress Pearl Bailey, and boxer Joe Louis, with whom he had built relationships in the course of developing marketing campaigns for his numerous federal and corporate clients. Kendrix, along with Ebony publisher John H. Johnson and Life photographer Gordon Parks, recognized that, in the image-saturated world of postwar America, media in all its forms held greater significance for defining American citizenship than ever before. For these imagemakers, the visual representation of African Americans as good citizens was good business. In Represented, Brenna Wynn Greer explores how black entrepreneurs produced magazines, photographs, and advertising that forged a close association between blackness and Americanness. In particular, they popularized conceptions of African Americans as enthusiastic consumers, a status essential to postwar citizenship claims. But their media creations were complicated: subject to marketplace dictates, they often relied on gender, class, and family stereotypes. Demand for such representations came not only from corporate and government clients to fuel mass consumerism and attract support for national efforts, such as the fight against fascism, but also from African Americans who sought depictions of blackness to counter racist ideas that undermined their rights and their national belonging as citizens. The story of how black capitalists made the market work for racial progress on their way to making money reminds us that the path to civil rights involved commercial endeavors as well as social and political activism.
So I married my nemesis... My new life in the States and dream job as a game tester just hit a massive snag. If I don't want immediate deportation on my to-do list, I need help, stat. Quickest solution-marry Lucas Walker, my cranky and oh-so-annoying co-worker. Still, this can work. We'll have rules and have to stick to them. I won't think about his muscled arms or how stupid handsome he is even while he pushes all my hot buttons. It's a marriage on paper only. I need to remember that. Player two, press start. When that exasperating Canadian, Katya Ellis, asked for help, I agreed because she was willing to help me in return. She doesn't need to know it's in my best interest for her to stay in the country. Nope, this is a business arrangement through and through. Which means I'll set aside all those involuntary fantasies I've been having about her shapely body pressed to mine... What could go wrong? Welp... as it turns out, just about everything.

Par Brenna Aubrey, l’écrivaine de best-sellers sur la liste de USA Today : Ne ratez pas cette conclusion émouvante du fabuleux duo de Ryan et Gray, louée par la critique du New York Times comme étant ‘intelligente, sensible’ et ‘plutôt merveilleuse’. Il cherchait la rédemption. C’est elle qu’il a trouvée à la place. Après des débuts difficiles, l’ancien SEAL de la Navy devenu astronaute Ryan ‘Ty’ Tyler et la psychologue de vol un peu geek Gray Barrett ont découvert qu’ils fonctionnaient bien ensemble. Ty est parvenu à maîtriser sa réputation de coureur de jupons et la prudente Gray a goûté à l’aventure pour la première fois. Tout se passait bien. Jusqu’à ce que le ‘bien’ devienne ‘bon’... torride, même. Et puis cela s’est transformé en amour. Ty doit maintenant faire un choix impossible : confronter les démons de son passé ou abandonner un avenir avec la seule femme qu’il pourrait aimer.
