From the author of How the Word is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America * Winner, 2017 Black Caucus of the American Library Association Literary Award * Finalist, 2017 NAACP Image Awards * "One Book One New Orleans" 2017 Book Selection * Published in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, Poetry Magazine, The Paris Review, New Republic, Boston Review, The Guardian, The Rumpus, and The Academy of American Poets "So many of these poems just blow me away. Incredibly beautiful and powerful." -- Michelle Alexander, Author of The New Jim Crow "Counting Descent is a tightly-woven collection of poems whose pages act like an invitation. The invitation is intimate and generous and also a challenge; are you up to asking what is blackness? What is black joy? How is black life loved and lived? To whom do we look to for answers? This invitation is not to a narrow street, or a shallow lake, but to a vast exploration of life. And you’re invited. -- Elizabeth Acevedo, Author of Beastgirl & Other Origin Myths "These poems shimmer with revelatory intensity, approaching us from all sides to immerse us in the America that America so often forgets." -- Gregory Pardlo "Counting Descent is more than brilliant. More than lyrical. More than bluesy. More than courageous. It is terrifying in its ability to at once not hide and show readers why it wants to hide so badly. These poems mend, meld and imagine with weighted details, pauses, idiosyncrasies and word patterns I've never seen before." -- Kiese Laymon, Author of Long Division Clint Smith's debut poetry collection, Counting Descent, is a coming of age story that seeks to complicate our conception of lineage and tradition. "Do you know what it means for your existence to be defined by someone else’s intentions?" Smith explores the cognitive dissonance that results from belonging to a community that unapologetically celebrates black humanity while living in a world that often renders blackness a caricature of fear. His poems move fluidly across personal and political histories, all the while reflecting on the social construction of our lived experiences. Smith brings the reader on a powerful journey forcing us to reflect on all that we learn growing up, and all that we seek to unlearn moving forward.
Memoirs from a young woman who was sold into slavery at the age of eight by her parents in Egypt to repay a debt.
In the early years of the Cold War, the United States mounted expansive public diplomacy programs in the Global South, including initiatives with the recently partitioned states of India and Pakistan. U.S. operations in these two countries became the second- and fourth-largest in the world, creating migration links that resulted in the emergence of American universities, such as the University of Houston, as immigration hubs for the highly selective, student-led South Asian migration stream starting in the 1950s. By the late twentieth century, Houston's South Asian community had become one of the most prosperous in the metropolitan area and one of the largest in the country. Mining archives and using new oral histories, Uzma Quraishi traces this pioneering community from its midcentury roots to the early twenty-first century, arguing that South Asian immigrants appealed to class conformity and endorsed the model minority myth to navigate the complexities of a shifting Sunbelt South. By examining Indian and Pakistani immigration to a major city transitioning out of Jim Crow, Quraishi reframes our understanding of twentieth-century migration, the changing character of the South, and the tangled politics of race, class, and ethnicity in the United States.
My Favorite Elementary entails the story of a young Elijah, who navigates through school and in the process grows a desire for reading.
It's 1967 in Detroit. Motown music is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning their basement into an after-hours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over more much more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the '67 riots. Detroit '67 is presented in association with Classical Theatre of Harlem and the National Black Theatre. Detroit '67 was awarded the 2014 Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History
Sox St. Louis, the intrepid deputy press secretary to the president, is besieged by the media on a daily basis as he attempts to communicate the actions and motivations of the executive office to the ravenous press without getting eaten alive. Drawn from the author's years of experience as a White House press officer, this raucous tale illuminates the often humorous relationship between the press and the presidency, offering a behind-the-scenes look into the slapstick and substance that confront a presidential spokesperson. Unvarnished and unscripted, this novel peeks into the follies and foibles that are a part of the daily give and take between the Washington press corps and the Oval Office.

"Today Sam Houston State University is no longer the "college on the hill," as it was known to the young men and women who first attended 125 years ago. Today it is a Carnegie Doctoral/Research Intensive Institution offering 135 undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate programs." "Sam Houston State University traces the school's development alongside the life of the campus. Through the description of the many fads, traditions, crises, and milestones that marked the ages, a distinct institutional identity emerges in this volume that will be at once both strangely fascinating and warmly familiar to those who have walked the campus as students, professors, staff or visitors." "This oversized, well-illustrated book presents a grand and colorful sweep of Sam Houston's 125-year history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
