Synopsis

In "African Colonization by the Free Colored People of the United States," David Christy presents a compelling examination of the complex interplay between race, identity, and colonialism in the 19th century. His work, characterized by a direct and persuasive literary style, offers a critical perspective on the movement advocating for the resettlement of free Black Americans to Africa. Christy meticulously documents the socio-political climate of his time, enriched by heartfelt personal narratives and statistical data that collectively illuminate the broader aspirations and struggles of the free colored community. The book serves as both an ideological manifesto and a historical account, reflecting the intricate dilemmas faced by African Americans during an era dominated by slavery and racial prejudice. David Christy, a prominent abolitionist and journalist, emerged from the heart of the abolitionist movement, shaping a deep understanding of the plight of African Americans. His experiences in advocating for social justice and his connections with notable figures in the antislavery society profoundly influenced his writing. This context imbues the narrative with authenticity and urgency, as Christy passionately discusses the hopes and fears intertwined with colonization. This illuminating work is recommended for readers interested in American history, racial dynamics, and colonial studies. Christy's insights challenge contemporary readers to reflect on historical narratives and the complexities of identity and belonging, making it a vital addition to the libraries of scholars and casual readers alike.

I Never Did Like Politics - How...

Terry Golway

Fiorello LaGuardia was one of the twentieth century's most colorful politicians—on the New York and national stage. He was also quintessentially American: the son of Italian immigrants, who rose in society through sheer will and chutzpah. Almost one hundred years later, America is once again grappling with issues that would have been familiar to the Little Flower, as he was affectionately known. It's time to bring back LaGuardia, argues historian and journalist Terry Golway, to remind us all what an effective municipal officer (as he preferred to call himself) can achieve . . .  
 
 
 
Golway examines LaGuardia's extraordinary career through four essential qualities: As a patriot, a dissenter, a leader, and a statesman. He needed them all when he stood against the nativism, religious and racial bigotry, and reactionary economic policies of the 1920s, and again when he faced the realities of Depression-era New York and the rise of fascism at home and abroad in the 1930s. Just before World War II, the Roosevelt administration formally apologized to the Nazis when LaGuardia referred to Hitler as a "brown-shirted fanatic." 
 
 
 
There was nobody quite like Fiorello LaGuardia. In this immensely listenable book, as entertaining as the man himself, Terry Golway captures the enduring appeal of one of America's greatest leaders.
