Book Synopsis Crescent City Girls by : LaKisha Michelle Simmons
Download or read book Crescent City Girls written by LaKisha Michelle Simmons and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was it like to grow up black and female in the segregated South? To answer this question, LaKisha Simmons blends social history and cultural studies, recreating children's streets and neighborhoods within Jim Crow New Orleans and offering a rare look into black girls' personal lives. Simmons argues that these children faced the difficult task of adhering to middle-class expectations of purity and respectability even as they encountered the daily realities of Jim Crow violence, which included interracial sexual aggression, street harassment, and presumptions of black girls' impurity. Simmons makes use of oral histories, the black and white press, social workers' reports, police reports, girls' fiction writing, and photography to tell the stories of individual girls: some from poor, working-class families; some from middle-class, "respectable" families; and some caught in the Jim Crow judicial system. These voices come together to create a group biography of ordinary girls living in an extraordinary time, girls who did not intend to make history but whose stories transform our understanding of both segregation and childhood.

Yet Camilla Beaumont, daughter of the Confederacy, might be the exception. Camilla has a secret that rivals Gabriel’s—she works for the Underground Railroad. When the two forge an unlikely partnership, it could be the key Gabriel seeks to a truth larger than any conflict—love.
Book Synopsis The New Orleans of Fiction by : James A. Kaser
Download or read book The New Orleans of Fiction written by James A. Kaser and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of New Orleans in American culture has made the city's place in the American imagination a crucial topic for literary scholars and cultural historians. While databases of bibliographical information on New Orleans-centered fiction are available, they are of little use to scholars researching works written before the 1980s. In The New Orleans of Fiction: A Research Guide, James A. Kaser provides detailed synopses for more than 500 works of fiction significantly set in New Orleans and published between 1836 and 1980. The synopses include plot summaries, names of major characters, and an indication of physical settings. An appendix provides bibliographical information for works dating from 1981 well into the 21st century, while a biographical section provides basic information about the authors, some of whom are obscure and would be difficult to find in other sources. Written to assist researchers in locating works of fiction for analysis, the plot summaries highlight ways in which the works touch on major aspects of social history and cultural studies (i.e., class, ethnicity, gender, immigrant experience, and race). The book is also a useful reader advisory tool for librarians and readers who want to identify materials for leisure reading, particularly since genre, juvenile, and young adult fiction—as well as literary fiction—are included.

Just when things seemed to start looking up in Ison's life with he and Nyilah, admitting their love for each other and planning a future for themselves and their unborn, both their worlds come tumbling down when Ice receives a call that his cousin Prince has been fatally shot and now fighting for his life. As if things couldn't get any worse for the cold-hearted street king, Ice finds himself behind bars, facing federal charges as well as a domestic assault charge with the rest of his crew. Will Ison beat the charges against him and walk away a free man, or will he be forced to love Nyilah and their unborn behind bars? "It is often said that revenge is a dish best served cold..." With Ice and the others behind bars awaiting trial, and Prince in a coma, Nyilah finds her life in shambles once again, wondering what's going to happen next with the men that she's grown to love and care for so much. As if that isn't enough stress and weight on her shoulders, Nyilah receives some news that could change her and Ice's lives drastically, and it leaves a few questions burning in her mind. Is she mentally ready and stable enough to be a mother? And will Ison be around for her and their children? "You can leave the streets, but the streets will never leave you. It will always find a way to reel you back in..." When the news of Ice's arrest and Prince being in a coma finds its way to the streets of Miami, Louisiana's infamous king and queen pin, Legacy and A'Khyia Martinez, make their way back to their home state to shake some rattles and put the respect back on their loved one's names. Will their presence and return be the lifesaver to Ice and Prince's drowning lives, or will they only cause more chaos for the young men? Amid it all, Legacy is presented with an opportunity that could help keep Ice and his boys on their toes while they are locked away, but the opportunity could very well cause serious issues for his marriage with Khyia. Will Legacy choose the opportunity to help Ice, or will he see that his marriage is more important? Greed, hate, and envy are all at war with love, trust, and happiness in the Crescent City, but which side will win? Their love for each other has always been Nyilah and Ice's means of survival in the streets of the Crescent City, but will love help them survive the troubles ahead, or will the odds forever be against them?

Book Synopsis Crescent City Secrets by : Madeline Kimmich
Download or read book Crescent City Secrets written by Madeline Kimmich and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crescent City Secrets is filled with murder, intrigue and the inner workings of an unusual White supremacist organization that, unlike the Klan of the sixties, welcomes Catholics into their supposedly nonviolent brotherhood. This is a fresh and fascinating look at race relations in the turbulent civil rights era without being a soap-box-sermon for the politically correct view. Set in New Orleans in the early 1960's, hero John Sommier, a liberal young man with a promising future, is trapped into a loveless marriage with the conniving daughter of a powerful White supremacist, Barbara Cartwright, forcing him to keep a family secret from her, that, if ever discovered, would destroy both their worlds. The Sommier secret is unique to New Orleans due to a singularly colorful culture once prevalent in the Crescent City.
Download or read book Henry Clay written by David S. Heidler and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was the Great Compromiser, a canny and colorful legislator whose life mirrors the story of America from its founding until the eve of the Civil War. Speaker of the House, senator, secretary of state, five-time presidential candidate, and idol to the young Abraham Lincoln, Henry Clay is captured in full at last in this rich and sweeping biography. David S. Heidler and Jeanne T. Heidler present Clay in his early years as a precocious, witty, and optimistic Virginia farm boy who at the age of twenty transformed himself into an attorney. The authors reveal Clay’s tumultuous career in Washington, including his participation in the deadlocked election of 1824 that haunted him for the rest of his career, and shine new light on Clay’s marriage to plain, wealthy Lucretia Hart, a union that lasted fifty-three years and produced eleven children. Featuring an inimitable supporting cast including Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Abraham Lincoln, Henry Clay is beautifully written and replete with fresh anecdotes and insights. Horse trader and risk taker, arm twister and joke teller, Henry Clay was the consummate politician who gave ground, made deals, and changed the lives of millions.
