The Wrath to Come - Gone with...

Sarah Churchwell

The history America never wanted you to read. 
'The narrative took my breath away' Philippe Sands 
'An extraordinarily and shockingly powerful read' Peter Frankopan 
'One of the must-reads of the year' Suzannah Lipscomb 
'Brilliant and provocative' Gavin Esler 
 
Sarah Churchwell examines one of the most enduringly popular stories of all time, Gone with the Wind, to help explain the divisions ripping the United States apart today. Separating fact from fiction, she shows how histories of mythmaking have informed America's racial and gender politics, the controversies over Confederate statues, the resurgence of white nationalism, the Black Lives Matter movement, the enduring power of the American Dream, and the violence of Trumpism. 
 
Gone with the Wind was an instant bestseller when it was published in 1936; its film version became the most successful Hollywood film of all time. Today the story's racism is again a subject of controversy, but it was just as controversial in the 1930s, foreshadowing today's debates over race and American fascism. In The Wrath to Come, Sarah Churchwell charts an extraordinary journey through 160 years of American denialism. From the Lost Cause to the romances behind the Ku Klux Klan, from the invention of the 'ideal' slave plantation to the erasure of interwar fascism, Churchwell shows what happens when we do violence to history, as collective denial turns fictions into lies, and lies into a vicious reality.

Dirty Little Secrets about Black...

Dr. Claud Anderson

To date, history remains largely white history. Black people, as a race, are virtually non-existent when historical events are described in textbooks, movies and centennial celebrations. Their role in America is most often that of cotton pickers, marchers or rioters. Black History Month narrowly limits contributions of Blacks to a familiar list to 10 to 15 individuals when, in fact, Blacks, though enslaved and powerless, had a profound and indelible influence on the American socioeconomic system. Black labor was the engine that drove this nation and civilization around the world. Slavery and its legacies shaped and continue to reveal this nation’s cultural, moral and ethical hypocrisy. The products of Black’s labor created industrial revolutions in Britain and America. They produced social tensions that led to the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Reconstruction and a national civil rights movement.
Much information about race remains lost or buried in laws, bills of sales, newspaper reports, letters, economic analysis, and personal diaries. The purpose of this book is to unearth and expose some of the Dirty Little Secrets hidden in the darkness of history.
For example, did you know that:Even without the benefit of a formal education, newly freed Black slaves filed for and were awarded more than 300 invention patents between 1870 and 1900?A number of high-level elected officials, including Presidents, Vice Presidents and members of the U.S. Senate had “Black blood” and Black mistresses?These are but a few of many little-known, Dirty Little Secrets About Black History, Its Heroes and Other Troublemakers.

Between Starshine and Clay -...

Sarah Ladipo Manyika, Bernardine...

In a series of incisive and intimate encounters Sarah Ladipo Manyika introduces some of the most distinguished Black thinkers of our times, including Nobel Laureates Toni Morrison and Wole Soyinka, and civic leaders first lady Michelle Obama and Senator Cory Booker. She searches for truth with poet Claudia Rankine and historian Henry Louis Gates, Jr. She discusses race and gender with South African filmmaker Xoliswa Sithole and American actor and playwright Anna Deavere Smith. She interrogates the world around us with pioneering publisher Margaret Busby, parliamentarian Lord Michael Hastings, and civil rights activist Pastor Evan Mawarire—who dared to take on President Robert Mugabe and has lived to tell the tale. We also meet the living embodiment of the many threads, ideas, and histories in this book through the profile of her fabulous 102-year-old friend, Mrs. Willard Harris. In journeys that book-end the collection, Sarah Ladipo Manyika reflects on her own experience of being seen as 'oyinbo' in Nigeria, African in England, Arab in France, colored in Southern Africa, and Black in America, while feeling the least Black and most human among her fellow travelers, explorers all, against the sharp white relief of the South Pole. 
 
 
 
This audiobook includes original recordings of conversations and interviews with the most distinguished black thinkers of our times.
