Janie Crawford, an African-American woman in her forties, recounts her life starting with her sexual awakening, which she compares to a blossoming pear tree kissed by bees in spring. Around this time, Janie allows a local boy, Johnny Taylor, to kiss her, which Janie's grandmother, Nanny, witnesses.

 

As a young slave woman, Nanny was raped by her white owner, then gave birth to a mixed-race daughter she named Leafy. Though Nanny wanted a better life for her daughter and even escaped her jealous mistress after the American Civil War, Leafy was later raped by her school teacher and became pregnant with Janie. Shortly after Janie's birth, Leafy began to drink and stay out at night, eventually running away and leaving Janie with Nanny.

The Mis-Education of the Negro is a book originally published in 1933 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson.[1] The thesis of Dr. Woodson's book is that blacks of his day were being culturally indoctrinated, rather than taught, in American schools. This conditioning, he claims, causes black people to become dependent and to seek out inferior places in the greater society of which they are a part. He challenges his readers to become autodidacts and to "do for themselves", regardless of what they were taught:

 

    History shows that it does not matter who is in power... those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they did in the beginning.

 

El Tram 83 és un local nocturn, bar, prostíbul, discoteca, centre de negocis i parlament, tot al mateix temps, que exerceix de centre neuràlgic de Ciutat-País, una geografia imaginària que se sosté únicament per lÆexistència dÆuna mina de diamants i que està liderada per un militar dissident. Una ciutat sense llei que exerceix dÆimant de tot tipus de vividors, xarlatans, entabanadors, prostitutes i tot aquell disposat a viure i presentar-se com el que no és.

Tram 83 submergeix el lector en una moderna febre de lÆor a lÆafricana que és, alhora, cínica, còmica i exòtica. Una atrevida festa de la imaginació, amb un ritme i una creativitat lingüística que utilitza síncopes i patrons tribals propis del jazz més pur i agosarat per entrellaçar un relat sobre les relacions humanes en un...

This book is an interesting new take on the love subject. Bell hooks uses her striking and incisive mind to take us on a literary journey that tries to break the barriers on love and sex and relationships. She gives insight into why people keep overlapping these subjects and why this is the reason many people end up in bad relationships.

Matile Mala, once the most powerful empire in the black continent of Abengoni, is slipping slowly into decadence, and becoming more and more vulnerable to aggression from the nations and tribes it once dominated. In the capital, Khambawe, ancient rituals endure, dominated by dreams and delusions. As Tiyana, who is both priestess and princess, conducts one such ceremony, known as First Calling, the rite is disrupted by the arrival of a half-wrecked ship from Fiadol, a far-distant land across the sea that is almost forgotten by the Matile. Led by a Seer called Kyroun, the pale-skinned people on the ship seek refuge among the Matile.

 This story spans our present time up to the third millennium. Ancient Future is a fantasy that will hopefully titillate the imagination of the young and old. Its theme is adult, but the children i worked with as a counselor for several years inspired many if its ideas. The novel is a story about loss and hope, pain and pleasure, joy and trepidation. It explores the heights of human aspirations and potential forced to coexist with human greed and selfishness. in a world of great technological advancement that boggles the imagination, there are factors that mar their quest for utopia. Ultimately it concludes with the realization that no great joy is ever achieved without some pain, and no pain is ever considered too great a sacrifice in the joy of great. United Minds

This is a long overdue collective mix of jazz, blues, and funk poetry, sociopolitical poetics, and praise poems influenced by history, science, and the cultural expressiveness of the African Diaspora from a noted spoken word warrior and cultural historian.

“This is a book of wisdom and whimsy, of mythology sprinkled with stardust. Every poem is a journey into a new desire fleshed out of history’s nightmares and our ancestors’ dreams. This is a devorah major Archana. Those who read tarot will know the power the Archana holds and how they govern. These poems rule a space between history and sea, relativity and dark matters, wombs and weaponry. I will pass these poems around at parties like hors d’oeuvres and tightly rolled joints. Some because they are delicious, others because they alter the state of consciousness. major is a free woman who wrote her own freedom papers in her own blood. Not beholden to some dead and despised rule book of ‘shoulda’ and ‘should nots,’ these poems speak a truth through art ...

La identitat i la raça vertebren la literatura de la premi Nobel Toni Morrison. Quin és el motiu que empeny els humans a construir la figura de «l’altre¿ Per què ens espanta tant, la seva presència? Aquestes qüestions formen part de les agendes polítiques globals i prenen forma de fronteres tancades i desplaçaments massius de persones.En la seva cerca de respostes, Toni Morrison repassa passatges de la seva propia experiència i també de la historia, la política i especialment de la literatura, examinant autors com ara Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner i Flannery O’Connor. A través d’ells analitza las nocions de puresa racial, l’origen de la raça negra com a instrument per definir una societat immigrant o les formes en què la literatura utilitza el color de la pell.
