Jennifer Baszile
The Black Girl Next Door: A Memoir

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A powerful, beautifully written memoir about coming of age as a black girl in an exclusive white suburb in `integrated,` post-Civil Rights California in the 1970s and 1980s.At six years of age, after winning a foot race against a white classmate, Jennifer Baszile was humiliated to hear her classmate explain that black people `have something in their feet to make them run faster than white people.` When she asked her teacher about it, it was confirmed as true. The next morning, Jennifer`s father accompanied her to school, careful to `assert himself as an informed and concerned parent and not simply a big, black, dangerous man in a first-grade classroom.`This was the first of many skirmishes in Jennifer`s childhood-long struggle to define herself as `the black girl next door` while living out her parents` dreams. Success for her was being the smartest and achieving the most, with the consequence that much of her girlhood did not seem like her own but more like the `family project.` But… [detailed...]

The Black Grippe

Publisher: Kessinger Publishing
Description: Professor Van der Bergh was one of those elderly men who never grow old. His blue eye was as clear as it had been on his twentieth birthday, his sensitive mouth was as ready to smile as ever it had been in the flower of his youth. A professor of pathology, a great anatomist, and one of the foremost bacteriologists in the United States, Bevan`s doubts and apprehensions were perhaps justified, though he was relieved in mind to discover that he had merely accelerated the great man`s departure from New York and was not wholly responsible for a trip which might end in disappointment.

Elizabeth Alexander
The Black Interior

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description With a poet`s precision and an intellectually adventurous spirit, Elizabeth Alexander explores a wide spectrum of contemporary African American artistic life through literature, paintings, popular media, and films, and discusses its place in current culture. In The Black Interior , she examines the vital roles of such heavyweight literary figures as Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes, and Rita Dove, as well as lesser known, yet vibrant, new creative voices. She offers a reconsideration of `afro-outre` painter Jean-Michel Basquiat, the concept of `race-pride` in Jet magazine, and her take on Denzel Washington`s career as a complex black male icon in a post-affirmative action era. Also available is Alexander`s much heraldedessay on Rodney King, Emmett Till, and the collective memory of racial violence. Alexander, who has been a professor at the University of Chicago and Smith College, and recently at Yale University, has taught and lectured on… [detailed...]

Based on Chekov`s novella of the same name, Rabe`s brilliant stage adaptation tells the story of Kovrin, the young philosophy student who returns from Moscow to the estate owned by Pesotsky, where he spent his youth. Kovrin and Pesotsky`s daughter, Tanya, soon fall in love and plan to marry. But the appearance of an emissary from the unknown -- the black monk -- threatens to have a devastating effect on all of them.Trouble starts in when Teresa tells her brother Joey that this guy Ray did something to her with his dog in bed. Nobody seems to know exactly what happened, but they do know that somebody`s got to pay. So what is The Dog Problem? It starts with being born into a world where the wrong thing said to the wrong person ignites a chain reaction of misplaced passions and galloping sentences that race to a deadly conclusion. The playful title is revealed to be a wry pun on… [detailed...]

The Black Panthers

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the world`s largest archive of Black Panther images, a nuanced portrait of a dynamic movement and a tumultuous time. In 1966, as the largely nonviolent Civil Rights movement swept through America, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the legendary Black Panther Party in Oakland, California. Revered by some and vilified by others, the party burst onto the scene with a militant vision for social change and the empowerment of African-Americans. Its methods were so controversial and polarizing that in 1968, FBI head J. Edgar Hoover described the organization as the country`s greatest threat to internal security. During the height of the movement, from 1967 to 1973, photographer Stephen Shames had unprecedented access to the organization. He captured not only its public face--street demonstrations, protests and militant armed posturing--but also life behind the scenes, from private Party meetings to Bobby Seale at work on his Oakland mayoral campaign. Shames was prolific and his… [detailed...]

His failure and its aftermath lead to a violent climax, and to a coda which casts a shifting perspective on all that has gone before. Формат: 13 см x 20 см. [detailed...]

The Black Prophet

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Two murders had been committed twenty years in the past. One was that of a carman, and the other of a man named Sullivan -- both of them robbed and murdered. At all events the glen was said to be haunted by Sullivan`s spirit, which was in the habit of appearing near the place of murder, from whence he was seen to enter the chasm -- taken with its dark and lonely aspect, it impressed upon the place a reputation of being accursed, as the scene of crime and supernatural appearances. We remember having played in it when young, and the feeling we experienced was one of awe and terror, to which might be added, on contemplating the `dread repose` and solitude around us, an impression that we were removed hundreds of miles from the busy ongoings and noisy tumults of life, to which, as if seeking protection, we generally hastened with a strong sense of relief, after having tremblingly gratified our boyish curiosity. . . .

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionRobert E. Howard is celebrated as the founding father of sword-and-sorcery, the creator of Conan of Cimmeria and Kull of Atlantis. The Black Stranger and Other American Tales demonstrates that in some of his most powerful heroic fantasy and horror stories, he also explored a New World older and more haunted than that which we`ve seen in textbooks or museum exhibits. In Howard`s Gothic America, dominion goes hand in hand with damnation and the present never ceases to writhe in the grip of the past. `The Black Stranger` spearheads the collection. Located at the extreme edge of Hyborian geography and human ruthlessness, this Conan novella has seldom been available until now. All of the Cimmerian`s lethal skills may not be enough inside astockade that shelters a self-exiled, pirate-plagued count, besieged from without and bedeviled from within. Against the backdrop of a demonically hostile dreadwood, Howard recreates the worst nightmares of the earliest European… [detailed...]

What can Catherine the Great`s lovers tell us about probability? Why are almost all forecasters con-artists? This book is all about Black Swans: the random events that underlie our lives, from bestsellers to world disasters. Their impact is huge, they`re nearly impossible to predict, yet after they happen we always try to rationalize them. A rallying cry to ignore the `experts`, `The Black Swan` shows us how to stop trying to predict everything and take advantage of uncertainty. Формат: 13 см x 19,5 см. [detailed...]
