From Willard Straight to Wall Street

By Thomas W. Jones. Published by Cornell University Press in 2019. “In stark and compelling prose, Thomas W. Jones tells his story as a campus revolutionary who led an armed revolt at Cornell University in 1969 and then altered his course over the next fifty years to become a powerful leader in the financial industry including high-level positions at John Hancock, TIAA-CREF and Citigroup as Wall Street plunged into its darkest hour.”

Then Tom hired a miracle worker—Emily Sanders Hopkins. She became the medium between publisher and author—channeling the best parts of the story into an entertaining structure.”

”Emily filled in the manuscript with detail and atmosphere. Working with Emily changed Tom. The stories became so powerful in her hands that he now freely lets the emotions wash over him when recounting them.”



— Dean Smith, Director of the Cornell University Press

#you know you’re black in france when…

By Trica Keaton. Published by MIT University Press in 2023. “What does it mean to be racialized-as-black in France on a daily basis? #You Know You’re Black in France When… responds to that question. Under the banner of universalism, France messages a powerful and seductive ideology of blindness to race that disappears blackened people and the antiblackness they experience. As Tricia Keaton notes, in everyday life, France is anything but raceblind.”
