John Cooper Works (JCW) is a company founded in 2000 by John Cooper, the racing car maker and tuner responsible for the Mini Cooper. JCW produces tuning parts and accessories for BMW's new Mini.
When John Cooper died shortly after creating JCW, management passed to his son Michael Cooper. BMW Group considered JCW to be "strong enough to be developed as a good sub-brand" and acquired the rights to the name in January 2007, and bought out the company in 2008. Michael Cooper continues to work with JCW as a consultant.

“Separatism of any kind promotes marginalization of those unwilling to grapple with the whole body of knowledge and creative works available to others. This is true of black students who do not want to read works by white writers, of female students of any race who do not want to read books by men, and of white students who only want to read works by white writers.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)
