1. The Obamas and a (Post) Racial America?, Edited by Gregory S. Parks and Matthew W. Hughey.  Foreword by Charles J. Ogletree (Oxford University Press, 2011)
“After the wave of journalistic books on the ascendance of Barack Obama and his Presidency, here is one of the first social science books on these topics. It is a timely achievement that deepens our understanding of the present, while article by article, reveals the significance of the Obama phenomenon for the abiding themes and trajectories of American life. It will be foundational reading for a long time to come.” – Claude M. Steele, Provost and Professor of Psychology, Columbia University

2.  Black Greek-Letter Organizations 2.0: New Directions in the Study of African American Fraternities and Sororities, Edited by Matthew W. Hughey and Gregory S. Parks.  Foreword by Theda Skocpol (University Press of Mississippi, 2011).
“On one hand, the ‘hood (brotherhood) positively shaped my undergraduate experience, deepening my commitment to community service and establishing lifelong bonds of camaraderie, fellowship, and love. On the other hand, as my dedication to progressive politics grew after college, I found myself increasingly troubled by the elements of elitism, factionalism, and homophobia that remain endemic to African American fraternities and sororities, nowhere more acutely than at historically black institutions like Howard. I have always yearned for more critical, scholarly engagement of Black Greek Letter Organizations and their role in shaping political consciousness, cultural identity, and social activism in our society. This significant volume, part of an emerging literature on BGLOs, richly supplies the kind of critical assessment of ‘Black Greeks’ that I have craved since first sporting my ‘letters’ on the fabled Howard yard in spring 1995.” – Russell Rickford, Assistant Professor of History, Dartmouth College

3. Twelve Angry Men: True Stories of Being a Black Man in America Today, Edited by Gregory S. Parks and Matthew W. Hughey.  Foreword by Lani Guinier (The New Press, 2010)
“The single best way to understand racial profiling is through the eyes of those who have been profiled. This collection offers a dozen moving testimonials against a practice that pervades not only our police departments, but our culture. Read it, and it will change the way you look at the world.” – David Cole, Professor, Georgetown Law School and author of No Equal Justice
“Extraordinarily compelling. Bantamweight in size, this book packs a heavyweight wallop.” – Publishers Weekly
