Black Culture, Inc : how ethnic community support pays for corporate America
\"A surprising and fascinating look at how Black culture has been leveraged by corporate America, this book addresses some of today's most pressing public debates around allyship and diversity. Open the brochure for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and you'll see logos for corporations like American Express. Visit the website for the Apollo Theater and you'll notice acknowledgments to corporations like Coca Cola and Citibank. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, owe their very existence to large corporate donations from companies like General Motors. And while we can easily make sense of the need for such funding to keep cultural spaces afloat, less obvious are the reasons that corporations give to them. In Black Culture, Inc. Patricia A. Banks interrogates the notion that such giving is completely altruistic, and argues for a deeper understanding of the hidden trans

Captive Audience
White Spot, a popular BC restaurant chain, solicits hamburger concepts from third and fourth grade students and one of the student's ideas becomes a feature on the kids' menu. Home Depot donates playground equipment to an elementary school, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony culminates in a community swathed in corporate swag, temporary tattoos, and a new \"Home Depot song\" written by a teacher and sung by the children. Kindergarten students return home with a school district-prescribed dental hygiene flyer featuring a maze leading to a tube of Crest toothpaste. Schools receive five cents for each flyer handed to a student. While commercialism has existed in our schools for over a century, the corporate invasion of our schools reached unprecedented heights in the 1990s and 2000s after two decades of federal funding cuts and an increasing tendency to apply business models to the education system. Constant cutbacks have left school trustees, administrators, teachers, and parents with difficult decisions about how to finance programs and support students. Meanwhile, studies on the impact of advertising and consumer culture on children make clear that the effects are harmful both to the individual child and the broader culture. Captive Audience explores this compelling history of branding the classroom in Canada.

The Trojan Horse
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. The Trojan Horse traces the growth of commercial sponsorship in the public sphere since the 1960s, its growing importance for the arts since 1980 and its spread into areas such as education and health. The authors’ central argument is that the image of sponsorship as corporate benevolence has served to routinize and legitimate the presence of commerce within the public sector. The central metaphor is of such sponsorship as a Trojan Horse helping to facilitate the hollowing out of the public sector by private agencies and private finance. The authors place the study in the context of the more general colonization of the state by private capital and the challenge posed to the dominance of neo-liberal economics by the recent global financial crisis. After considering the passage from patronage to sponsorship and outlining the context of the post-war public sector since 1945, it analyses sponsorship in relation to Thatcherism, enterprise culture and the restructuring of public provision during the 1980s. It goes on to examine the New Labour years, and the ways in which sponsorship has paved the way for the increased use of private-public partnerships and private finance initiatives within the public sector in the UK.

The Emotional Impact of Sports Sponsorships: A Sentiment Analysis of Public Reactions on Reddit
This article discusses the role of sports sponsorships and the impact of sponsorship agreements on various stakeholders, along with the emotional reactions they evoke in the public. Sponsorship is viewed as a strategic partnership between companies and sports organizations, with the primary goal of increasing brand visibility and ensuring financial growth. The sentiment analyses presented in the article reveal a complex interaction between sponsorships and public opinion, examining the influence of emotions such as anger, anticipation, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, surprise and trust. These emotions are significantly affected by factors such as the commercialization of sports, manipulative practices in sponsorship agreements and ethical concerns. In this respect, the study approaches the phenomenon of sports sponsorship from a sports economics perspective, drawing attention to the balance between economic interests and societal values. The study emphasizes that while sponsorships can enhance sports experiences, they can lead to negative perceptions if financial interests overshadow the values and integrity of sports. The article highlights the importance of transparency and ethical practices in sponsorship agreements and suggests that future research should delve deeper into the emotional effects of sponsorships. Additionally, it stresses the need for research that extends beyond platforms like Reddit to include other social media channels.
