Black Greek-Letter Organizations 2.0: New Directions in the Study of African American Fraternities and Sororities
"Black Greek-Letter Organization 2.0 fills an important void in African American scholarship by delivering a rigorous and comprehensive account of the highly relevant soietal impact of black fraternities and sororities as apparatuses for networking, community organizing, intellectual collaboration, racial equality activism, conflict and surrogate family support structures.  Prior to this book, rigorous and critical academic scholarship in this area had been extremely limited." -Darrell Norman Burrell,Ethnic and Racial Studies"In addition to the two editors, an impressive range of contributors that work largely out of the social sciences provide a theoretically contextualized discussion of BGLOs that attends to the concerns of everyday life. As the editors explicitly state, the book hopes to answer the question: 'How can we reframe BGLOs in order to rethink the dialectic between theory and action for today?' " -Deborah E.
