Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The three girls formed an indelible bond: roaming their community in search of hidden treasures for their 'Thing Finder box,' and hiding under the dining room table, eavesdropping as three generations of relatives gossiped and played the numbers. The girls spent countless afternoons together, ice skating in the nearby Lake Meadows apartment complex, swimming in the pool at the Ida B. Wells housing project, and daydreaming of their futures: Dawn a writer, Debra a doctor, Kim a teacher. Then they came to a precipice, a fraught rite of passage for all girls when the dangers and the harsh realities of the world burst the innocent bubble of childhood, when the choices they made could--and would--have devastating consequences. There was a razor thin margin of error--especially for brown girls"

Book Synopsis Utopian and Science Fiction by Women by : Jane L. Donawerth
Download or read book Utopian and Science Fiction by Women written by Jane L. Donawerth and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1994-07-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection speaks to common themes and strategies in women's writing about their different worlds, from Margaret Cavendish's seventeenth-century Blazing World of the North Pole to the "men-less" islands of the French writer Scudery to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century utopias of Shelley and Gaskell, and science fiction pulps, finishing with the more contemporary feminist fictions of Le Guin, Wittig, Piercy, and Michison. It shows that these fictions historically speak to each other and together amount to a literary tradition of women's writing about a better place.

Book Synopsis Race and Football in America by : Dawn Knight
Download or read book Race and Football in America written by Dawn Knight and published by Red Lightning Books. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first African American player to be drafted by the NFL and the first African American to play quarterback, George Taliaferro was a trailblazer whose athletic prowess earned him accolades throughout his football career. Instrumental in leading Indiana University to an undefeated season and undisputed Big Ten championship in 1945, Taliaferro was a star when many major universities had no black players on their rosters and others were stacking black players behind white starters. George Taliaferro would later rack up impressive statistics while playing professionally for the New York Yanks, Dallas Texans, Baltimore Colts, and Philadelphia Eagles. His athletic prowess did little to prevent him from facing segregation and discrimination on a daily basis, but his popularity as an athlete also gave him a platform. Playing professionally gave Taliaferro more opportunity to use football to fight oppression and to interact with other important trailblazers, like Joe Louis, Nat King Cole, Muhammad Ali, and Congressman John Lewis. Race and Football in America tells Taliaferro's story and profiles the experiences of other athletes of color who were recognized for their athleticism yet oppressed for their skin color, as they fought (and continue to fight) for equal rights and opportunities. Together these stories provide an insightful portrait of race in America.

Book excerpt: One woman is called upon to rebuild the future of humankind after a nuclear war, in this revelatory post-apocalyptic tale from the award-winning author of Parable of the Sower. When Lilith lyapo wakes from a centuries-long sleep, she finds herself aboard the vast spaceship of the Oankali. She discovers that the Oankali - a seemingly benevolent alien race -- intervened in the fate of the humanity hundreds of years ago, saving everyone who survived a nuclear war from a dying, ruined Earth and then putting them into a deep sleep. After learning all they could about Earth and its beings, the Oankali healed the planet, cured cancer, increased human strength, and they now want Lilith to lead her people back to Earth -- but salvation comes at a price. Hopeful and thought-provoking, this post-apocalyptic narrative deftly explores gender and race through the eyes of characters struggling to adapt during a pivotal time of crisis and change.

Book Synopsis The Destiny of the Black Race by : Sonstar Peterson
Download or read book The Destiny of the Black Race written by Sonstar Peterson and published by GREAT HOUSE PUBLISHING(2008) Incorporated. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book's main theme is 'Racial Reconciliation' as we work towards a more harmonious relationship within our society at large. Though entitled "The Destiny Of The Black Race", it is not a 'black book" but rather a well-balanced work that look at the cause and effect' of racial disharmony and the main pool of contributors to this dilemma. The work also advances the positive and diverse contributions of the black community to the advancement of racial harmony and Western civilization as a whole. It also points out a "Biblical Destiny of The Black Race". This is one of the most balanced and well written works that I have ever had the privilege of reading on this topic. The author does not promote the black race as having superiority over others but clearly shows an equality that is oftentimes sorely missing in society. This is one aspect that gives the book balance and objectivity. Earl Paulk's work, ONE BLOOD, is another important book on this issue. The extensive bibliography gives the reader other resources for further study/reading. A most delightful read! God Bless the Author! This work is also dedicated to the people of Johannesburg, South Africa, who planted the initial financial seed to make possible the production of this book. What can I say of Johannesburg, except to call her, "My beloved Johannesburg!" Your dedication and the flame of hope that burns in your heart - as you continue in the struggle against racial prejudice in one of the last remaining strongholds of this type of satanic oppression - has served as a lasting challenge to my life. It has helped to strengthen my conviction that any affliction or opposition one may face for carrying the torch of liberty and justice cannot be compared to the burning joy those results from seeing a people released to embrace their destiny.
Download or read book Rose's Run written by Dawn Dumont and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rose Okanese, a single mother with two kids, has been pushed into a corner by Rez citizens to claim some self-respect, and decides that the fastest way to do that would be for her to run the reserve's annual marathon. Though Rose hasn't run in twenty years, smokes and initially has little motivation, she announces her intention to run the race. One quality Rose doesn't lack is spontaneity which sometimes clashes with her iron will and though she has initial regrets about opening her mouth, her life begins to dictate that she must follow through. But as fate will dictate, one rather huge unforeseen outcome of her decision is that she will have to do battle with an old inadvertently conjured demon that feeds off the strength of women. She is a truly mean old spirit who can invade other women and have them do her bidding and in no time has the Rez in an uproar. As Rose discovers, the old demon has been unintentionally called forth by Rose's teen daughter, Sarah, which complicates Rose's life just a little more. The spirit woman creates a reign of fear and havoc by appearing to people on the reserve and freaking them out, all of which leads to incidents of extreme humour and plot-twisting bemusement, liberally sprinkled with some jittery acts of valour. With a cast of unusual and unfamiliar characters, Dumont interweaves a tale of motherly love, friendship, lustful longing, wîhtikow lore, and Rez humour and keeps the hoopla going until the race is done. At the story's vortex is Rose, a woman destined to face her fears and provide some rich laughter while doing so. Will she send the demon back to where it came from before the spirit claims her teen daughter? Will she get back together with her philandering, rock musician husband before her girls grow up? Will she sort out her best friend's winter pregnancy? But more importantly, will she get this all done before her big, face-saving race with Dahlia Ingram, a woman whom God has designed for one purpose: to run long distances at high speeds with effortless grace.
