"In recent years, following the popularity of books like Ijeoma Oluo's So You Want to Talk About Race? and Ibram X. Kendi's How to Be an Antiracist, there has been a surfeit of books published on the politics of race and racial injustice; within the field of nonprofit organization and management, these books have tended to focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives as a proxy for antiracism. NPQ's focus on "pro-Black" is a fresh perspective that pushes the field into thinking beyond corrective DEI measures. The proposed book names something that Black liberation movements in the U.S. have advanced--and continue to advance--in public discourse, but which people have not been talking about in the nonprofit sector: The urgent need to build a world in which Black people can thrive. An explicitly "pro-Black" framing focuses on designing nonprofit organizations, programs, services, philanthropy, and more for people who are most marginalized by systems of power. It advances the understanding that designing a better world for those who are marginalized will create a better world for everyone. NPQ has argued that this shift--"from critiquing white supremacist culture and calling out anti-Blackness to designing for pro-Blackness"--is already happening in the field (Suarez 2022). The reader captures this shift in nonprofit theory and practice; it will also include articles that present new possibilities for action"--

"The economic crisis that began in 2008 has underscored the impact not only of embedded and assumed ways of managing the economy, but also that present circumstances are the product of a long period of experimentation and bounded diversity; it is understanding the nature of both that forms a central concern of this collection. This book redefines, develops and extends the emerging literature on internal diversity within varieties of capitalism, and the extent to which such internal systemic diversity goes beyond mere diffuseness to represent the coexistence of different logics of action within both liberal market and more cooperative varieties of capitalism. The collection is based on new, fresh material, from leading scholars in the field. The contributors come from a variety of perspectives within the broad socio-economic literature on institutions, and yet they all focus on the limitations of current institutional fixes, and the protracted and durable nature of the current crisis, which, the editors suggest, reflect profound changes in input costs and the utilization of technology. What characterizes this common ground is an inherent pragmatism, combined with an increasing sophistication in the usage of analytical concepts; illustrating the progression since the early work on comparative capitalism in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This book should be an invaluable resource for students and researchers of economic theory and philosophy as well as political economics and socio-economics."--
