Synopsis Through These Brown Eyes by : Angelica Robles
Angelica Robles is a skilled investigator who has worked at various levels of government. In Through These Brown Eyes, the tables have turned...investigator becomes confessor, telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so helped by her God. Having lived her early years in Mexico followed by a childhood in a rough Chicago neighborhood, Angelica Robles understands the meaning of 'adapt and survive.' Childhood injuries and abuse resulted in a thick skin-a negative turned to a positive-which she put to good use during the most extreme criminal investigations over the course of her professional career. In a profession dominated by men, nothing would hold her back. However, a career is only one aspect of a life lived to the fullest. Love, sex, murder, drugs, betrayal, adrenaline...are you ready for this ride? The ride is not yet to its destination, but Angelica Robles is driving on a boulevard to rebirth. She hopes that by sharing the bumps in her own road, the road for others may become smoother.

Synopsis Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes by : Stephen G. Bloom
The never-before-told true story of Jane Elliott and the “Blue-Eyes, Brown-Eyes Experiment” she made world-famous, using eye color to simulate racism. The day after Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination in 1968, Jane Elliott, a schoolteacher in rural Iowa, introduced to her all-white third-grade class a shocking experiment to demonstrate the scorching impact of racism. Elliott separated students into two groups. She instructed the brown-eyed children to heckle and berate the blue-eyed students, even to start fights with them. Without telling the children the experiment’s purpose, Elliott demonstrated how easy it was to create abhorrent racist behavior based on students’ eye color, not skin color. As a result, Elliott would go on to appear on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show, followed by a stormy White House conference, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and thousands of media events and diversity-training sessions worldwide, during which she employed the provocative experiment to induce racism. Was the experiment benign? Or was it a cruel, self-serving exercise in sadism? Did it work? Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes is a meticulously researched book that details for the first time Jane Elliott’s jagged rise to stardom. It is an unflinching assessment of the incendiary experiment forever associated with Elliott, even though she was not the first to try it out. Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes offers an intimate portrait of the insular community where Elliott grew up and conducted the experiment on the town’s children for more than a decade. The searing story is a cautionary tale that examines power and privilege in and out of the classroom. It also documents small-town White America’s reflex reaction to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the subsequent meteoric rise of diversity training that flourishes today. All the while, Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes reveals the struggles that tormented a determined and righteous woman, today referred to as the “Mother of Diversity Training,” who was driven against all odds to succeed.

Synopsis Through Brown Eyes by : Shahida Ahmed
Nineteen-year-old Shama lives something of a charmed existence, indulged by her comfortably off parents, who are second-generation Pakistani immigrants, and enjoying university life. Balancing the lifestyle of her Western friends with the strict cultural traditions upheld by her parents is rarely a challenge, as she flits between her weekdays on campus and weekends at home. However, her world is turned upside down when she is invited to accompany her mother on a trip to Pakistan and introduced to the handsome Saleem, a charming, educated acquaintance of her extended family. Caught up in a whirlwind romance thousands of miles from home, Shama suddenly finds herself facing a very different future from the one she anticipated - a future that when contemplated, triggers a rollercoaster of emotions in the naive teenager, ranging from excitement to fear, and puts her very survival at risk.

Synopsis Through Brown Eyes by : Juan M. Perez
The Brown Berets Organization impacted the Chicano Movement in a powerful manner from its beginnings, in 1967, until the early eighties. Known primarily for their militancy, the Berets were often compared to the Black Panthers. They clashed with police, were infiltrated by law officers, sometimes fought among themselves, but through it all, they persisted in their commitment to the cause. Their slogans of "Viva La Raza!" and "Chicano Power!" still resonate today in the hearts of many younger Chicanos, many of whom do not even remember the Berets, but they do know the message: "We must be united." Though there still do exist chapters throughout the southwest of the United States, it was these early years that shaped much of what is known about them. In this book, I cover many of the activities and events which impacted, and therefore were impacted by, the Texas Brown Berets Organization. This state had Chapters in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Lubbock, and several other smaller cities. You will find an emphasis on the Dallas Brown Berets in the history covered in this book. This is because I was the Prime Minister of the organization for approximately ten years. The book includes case after case of police brutality, injustices, and racism. I have also included organizational material of the Brown Berets of those years, such as Declarations and policies of the National Brown Berets, the same from the Texas Brown Berets, and other relevant documentation. I followed a timeline from 1970 until 1980, when I wrote this book. You will also find Chicano poetry through the pages.
