The Negro in Literature and Art in the United States

Benjamin Griffith Brawley

Beschreibung

In "The Negro in Literature and Art in the United States," Benjamin Griffith Brawley offers a comprehensive examination of the representation and contributions of African Americans in the realms of literature and visual art. Brawley employs a critical and historical lens, guiding readers through a nuanced narrative that spans pre-colonial times to the early 20th century. The work is marked by a scholarly vigor and a commitment to restoring voices that have been marginalized in American culture, interweaving analysis of various artistic expressions with social and political contexts. Through his incisive prose, Brawley creates a tapestry that reveals how African American artists and authors navigated and challenged the pervasive stereotypes of their time, creating a rich heritage of cultural identity and resilience. Benjamin Griffith Brawley was a noted African American scholar, educator, and essayist. His profound engagement with literature and culture can be traced back to his own experiences within a racially stratified society. As an educator, he sought to advocate for African American voices and perspectives, influenced no doubt by the Harlem Renaissance and the broader intellectual movements of his era. His insights are drawn not only from literary sources but also from a deep understanding of the socio-political landscape affecting African Americans. This book is essential for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of the complexities and richness of African American cultural expression. Brawley's work is not merely an academic exercise but a clarion call to recognize and celebrate the contributions of Black artists and writers to the American narrative. It serves as a pivotal resource for scholars, students, and general readers alike who seek a more complete picture of American literature and art.

All Eternity Lies Before Me -...

Loreen Gibbons

A suspense-filled real-life drama perfect for veterans and fans of military dramas alike, the author interweaves her memories as a Navy pilot’s wife with the tale of what happened to her husband’s crew after having to ditch their crippled plane in stormy North Pacific waters during the Cold War. 
Alfa Foxtrot 586, a P-3 Orion turboprop, was conducting a sensitive Cold War mission off the Kamchatka Peninsula on October 26, 1978, when a propeller malfunction turned into four engine fires and the pilot—Loreen Grigsby’s husband, Jerry—was forced to ditch into remote, mountainous seas churned by a frigid North Pacific storm. The aircraft sank within ninety seconds, taking one of the three rafts with it—which left thirteen men to huddle together in the remaining two rafts, the smaller of which soon began to leak. 
Told from Loreen’s perspective as a navy wife at home as well as through the eyes of the men who survived the disaster, All Eternity Lies Before Me weaves a gripping tale of struggle, uncertainty, grief, and heroism. It shares Loreen’s terror as she receives notifications about her husband’s crew’s desperate battle against wind, seas, and biting cold. It details the ad hoc search and rescue mission, a valiant effort to rescue the men before time runs out. And, tragically, it tells how a young Navy wife becomes a widow and single mom. 
But Jerry’s death is not the end of Loreen’s story—and in the years following his loss, she discovers resilience, strength, and even new love with one of the accident survivors, Matt Gibbons. As she begins her journey toward a brighter future, she’s inspired by the camaraderie and brotherhood forged between the survivors and their rescuers—and ultimately, the long-term lessons learned by all involved become part of the lasting legacy of this event.

Operation Fortitude: The History...

Editors Charles River

During the first half of 1944, the Americans and British commenced a massive buildup of men and resources in the United Kingdom, while Allied Supreme Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower and military brass planned the details of an enormous and complex amphibious invasion of Europe. The most obvious place for an invasion was just across the narrow English Channel, and the Germans had built coastal fortifications throughout France to protect against just such an invasion.
Cloaking the vastest amphibious landing in history in layers of shrouding misdirection represented an undertaking second only in ambitiousness to the grand seaborne invasion itself, yet with Operation Bodyguard, the Allies attempted precisely that task in regards to 1944's D-Day. Bodyguard would, if successful, confuse the Wehrmacht occupiers of France about the actual place where Operation Overlord would ultimately come ashore. A further element of Bodyguard was Operation Fortitude. Fortitude marked one of the most ambitious deception plans in the history of warfare. Fortitude was divided into two parts, North and South. Both parts involved the creation of fake armies, one based in Edinburgh in the north and one on the southeast coast of England which threatened Pas de Calais, the most obvious area of France for invasion. The Allies went to remarkable lengths to ensure the success of the operation. A fictional U.S. Army group under George Patton was created in the south. Every effort was made to ensure operational security while also allowing the Germans to see the dummy war material.
The success or failure of these planned misdirections would have deadly serious consequences for the men wading ashore through the Normandy surf in early summer of 1944. Put simply, the difference in the number and deployment of German forces facing them could determine if they succeeded or failed.
