Here are a few titles for those looking to water their intellectual growth.

Black Feminist Politics from Kennedy to Clinton
By Duchess Harris
Palgrave Macmillan, July 2009
A scholarly review of the involvement of black women in American politics from 1961 to 2001 that includes a range of areas including government roles, feminist organizations, literature, movies, and beauty pageants.

Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original
By Robin D.G. Kelley
Simon and Schuster, October 2009
This long-awaited biography from Kelley, historian and music aficionado, draws from Monk's family archives and unreleased recordings to painstakingly capture the jazz composer and pianist's person, spirit, and often unrecognized genius. Kelly debunks the myths that surrounded Monk during his life and in his death, provides explanations for Monk's sometimes erratic behavior--which was partly due to untreated mental illness--and examines the artist's contributions to the growth of jazz.
