"This book explores the significant contributions of African American women radical activists from 1955 to 1995. It examines the 1961 case of African American working-class self-defense advocate Mae Mallory, who traveled from New York to Monroe, North Carolina, to provide support and weapons to the Negroes with Guns Movement. Accused of kidnapping a Ku Klux Klan couple, she spent thirteen months in a Cleveland jail, facing extradition. African American women radical activists Ethel Azalea Johnson of Negroes with Guns, Audrey Proctor Seniors of the banned New Orleans NAACP, the Trotskyist Workers World Party, Ruthie Stone, and Clarence Henry Seniors of Workers World founded the Monroe Defense Committee to support Mallory. Mae's daughter, Pat, aged sixteen also participated, and they all bonded as family. When the case ended, they joined the Tanzanian, Grenadian, and Nicaraguan World Revolutions. Using her unique vantage point as Audrey Proctor Seniors's daughter, Paula Marie Seniors blends personal accounts with theoretical frameworks of organic intellectual, community feminism, and several other theoretical frameworks in analyzing African American radical women's activism in this era. Essential biographical and character narratives are combined with an analysis of the social and political movements of the era and their historical significance. Seniors examines the link between Mallory, Johnson, and Proctor Seniors's radical activism and their connections to national and international leftist human rights movements and organizations. She asks the underlying question: Why did these women choose radical activism and align themselves with revolutionary governments, linking Black human rights to world revolutions? Seniors's historical and personal account of the era aims to recover Black women radical activists' place in history. Her innovative research and compelling storytelling broaden our knowledge of these activists and their political movements"--

"The 19 of Greene narrates Tony Barnhart's experience with integration in small-town Georgia as a member of Greene County's first integrated football team. The longtime sportswriter, also known as Mr. College Football, details the Tigers' surprisingly successful season, the enduring relationships he formed with his teammates, and the difficulties of school sports integration. As he witnessed the specific role that football played in the "success" of integration at Greene, his foundational experiences continue to help Barnhart navigate the persistent blight of racism more generally. The early chapters set the stage for Greene County's 1970 football season by outlining the roots of integration in the South beginning with Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 and how it and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 eventually led to Georgia, and Greene County in particular, being integrated in the classroom and on the athletic field. Barnhart discusses how the three high schools in Greene County-Greensboro, Union Point, and Corry-eventually became one by the fall of 1970. In addition, he outlines the rollout of integration of the Greene County school district population in 1965-66 and how it eventually led to athletics being integrated in the fall of 1970. Returning to each of the players, as well as the coaches, teachers, and administrators who contributed to that 1970 season, Barnhart interviews his old contacts to revisit this important time in all their lives. Their stories make plain that football merely served as the backdrop for the sociological interactions and events taking place in Greene County, Georgia, the South, and the United States at the end of the civil rights era and how change would be as rewarding as it was difficult"--

While scouting sites for geology field trips, poet and naturalist John Lane encountered deep gullies created between the Civil War and the 1930s contributed to by his mother's tenant farming family and their rural neighbors in Piedmont South Carolina. This brush with the poor farming practices of the past leads Lane into an exploration of his own family's complicated history and of the larger environmental forces that have shaped the region where he chooses to live. With his sister as guide, Lane descends into the gully of his own childhood to uncover memories of a loving but alcoholic mother and a suicidal father. Back and forth, the narrative progresses from depictions of the land--particularly the overgrown and neglected places that hold stories and mysteries of the region--to Lane's ever-deepening search.He wonders how he, a college professor and husband settled into middle-class life, has emerged from the chaos of his family's past. Along the way, we meet heroic Depression-era geologists, fascinating colleagues, and troubled ancestors. Lane's extraordinary ability to weave personal history together with explorations of the natural world will remind readers of the works of Loren Eiseley and Terry Tempest Williams.

"In Bringing Home the White House, Melissa Estes Blair introduces us to five fascinating yet largely unheralded women who were at the heart of campaigns to elect and reelect some of our most beloved presidents. By examining the roles of these political strategists in affecting the outcome of presidential elections, Blair sheds light on their historical importance and the relevance of their individual influence. In the middle decades of the twentieth century both major political parties had Women's Divisions. The leaders of these divisions-five women who held the job from 1932 until 1958-organized tens of thousands of women all over the country, turning them into the "saleswomen for the party" by providing them with talking points, fliers, and other material they needed to strike up political conversations with their friends and neighbors. The leaders of the Women's Divisions also produced a huge portion of the media used by the campaigns-over 90 percent of all print material in the 1930s-and were close advisors of the presidents of both parties. In spite of their importance, these women and their work have been left out of the narratives of midcentury America. In telling the story of these five West Wing women, Blair reveals the ways that women were central to American politics from the depths of the Great Depression to the height of the Cold War"-- Provided by publisher.

"We the Young Fighters is at once a history of a nation, a story of a war, and the saga of downtrodden young people and three pop culture superstars. The extraordinary narrative begins centuries ago, with the capture mainly of men by European slavers and the emergence of slave wives across the land that would become Sierra Leone. Soon after it became a colony, British overlords discovered diamonds and empowered Paramount Chiefs to help dig them up. Once in power, President Siaka Stevens took this setup and ran with it, creating a personal diamond empire, keeping the government feeble, managing a brutal state security force, and allowing exclusion and inequality to skyrocket. Stevens' violent, grasping style of rule, and his subjugation of the nation's youth, not only set the stage for devastating warfare. It also fueled a world where certain pop culture icons held magnetic power. In the 1970s, Bob Marley and other reggae musicians entranced alienated youth. Many sought become 'conscious' of underlying realities by mixing reggae music with heavy marijuana use, Rastafarian ideas and political critique. During the 1980s, movies featuring John Rambo, the ex-Green Beret, mesmerized youngsters in diamond mines, villages and cities. The music and style of rap megastar Tupac Shakur entered Sierra Leone in the 1990s, enthralling male youth. The world that Marley, Rambo and Tupac collectively described configured life as perversely and cruelly structured, where those in the right are blamed while the powerful exploit and attack them. Sierra Leone's civil war (1991-2002) featured terror tactics, child soldiering and persistent drug use, infused throughout with popular culture. Bob Marley's messages captivated Foday Sankoh and his Revolutionary United Front, as well as fighters on the government side. Across the arc of war, Marley and marijuana were rebel mainstays. Rambo movies became military training films. "Tupac tactics" arose as a punishing approach to personalized warfare. Rebels frequently wore tshirts featuring Marley or Tupac, Rastafarian dreadlocks and bandannas that Rambo and Tupac made famous. Once the war expired, Marley's "Get Up Stand Up" transformed from a war cry to a reminder to believe in yourself while Tupac fans turned to his messages about pride and dignity. Accessibly written and thoroughly researched, We the Young Fighters describes how Tupac, Rambo and, especially, Marley wove their way into the conflict fabric of Sierra Leone, from the pre-war landscape dominated by chiefs, politicians and emasculated youth; across a war featuring terror, drugs, diamonds, young soldiers and citizen resilience; and into a post-war era spotlighting the quiet endurance of young people. The book ends by extracting lessons from Sierra Leone that promise to improve current approaches to governance, youth alienation and terror groups globally"--

Prodigals, a memoir in essay, explores the life of Sarah Beth Childer's wildly creative brother, lost to suicide at twenty-two, and her own life through the lens of the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son. Childer's foregrounds the Appalachian landscape, depicting hardwood forests, winding roads, mining-stained rivers, and neighborhoods tucked between mountains. Her story is universal and uniquely Appalachian, shaped by fervent faith, resistance to traditional medicine, and conflicting desires to escape and stay forever home. Weaving in Branwell Brontèe, the Brontèe sisters' alcoholic brother; Jimmy Swaggart, fallen televangelist; and Robert Crumb, author of sexist and racist comics, Childers examines the role of the prodigal within the tapestry of family life and beyond.

"This collection of linked stories follows four generations of the Songs, a Korean American family, beginning in 1924 just prior to the Immigration Act and extending to near the end of the century. The stories chart the shifting definitions of Americanness, desire and belonging articulated, in turns, by the mother, father, grand-daughter, great-grandson, and even a ghost child who died after a tragic accident. But they center on the experience of Gracie Song, following her from girlhood to young motherhood, through her children's teenage years and finally to her elderly solitude, when to her great astonishment she finds romance with a younger man and reconciliation with an estranged daughter, both unexpected gifts of late"--
