  From Mammies to Militants -...

  Trudier Harris

  From Charles Chesnutt's The Marrow of Tradition to Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Black writers, some of whom worked as maids themselves, have manipulated the stereotype in a strategic way as a figure to comment on Black-white relations or to dramatize the conflicts of the Black protagonists. In fact, the characters themselves, like real-life maids, often use the stereotype to their advantage or to trick their oppressors. 
   
   
   
  Harris combines folkloristic, sociological, historical, and psychological analyses with literary ones, drawing on her own interviews with Black women who worked as domestics. She explores the differences between Northern and Southern maids and between "mammy" and "militant." Often privileging political statements over realistic characterization in the design of their texts, the authors in Harris's study urged Black Americans to take action to change their powerless conditions, politely if possible, violently if necessary. 
   
   
   
  In her new afterword, "From Militants to Movie Stars," Harris looks at domestic workers in African American literature after the original publication of her book in 1982. Exploring five subsequent literary treatments of Black domestic workers, Harris tracks how the landscape of representation of domestic workers has broken with tradition and continues to transform into something entirely new.

  An acclaimed economist’s observations on four years of events that have shaped the world 
   
  In this new volume drawn from his columns for the French newspaper Le Monde, renowned economist Thomas Piketty takes measure of the world since 2021: leaders grappling with the aftershocks of a global pandemic; politics shifting rightward in Europe and America; and wars breaking out and escalating, from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the conflict in Israel and Gaza. Together with an extended introductory essay arguing that an ecological socialism remains the best hope for global equality, these articles present Piketty’s vivid first draft of history—on the rise of China, political upheaval, armed conflict, inequity within and between nations, discrimination, and beyond. Despite the gathering clouds, Piketty continues to find reasons for hope.

  What if the greatest threat to society wasn’t ignorance—but cleverness without conscience? 
  Clouds by Aristophanes is a scathing comedic masterpiece that lampoons Socratic philosophy and the Athenian obsession with rhetorical trickery. This modern translation revives the wit, rhythm, and political punch of Aristophanes’ classic play, in which a debt-ridden father seeks to cheat his way to freedom by mastering the art of deceit—under the tutelage of a ridiculous, cloud-dwelling Socrates. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A satirical comedy skewering philosophy, education, and generational conflict 
  •	A wildly irreverent portrait of Socrates and his absurd “Thinkery” 
  •	A sharp critique of sophistry, relativism, and rhetorical manipulation 
  •	A lively and accessible modern translation of Aristophanes’ classic 
  Join the riotous drama where logic tangles, thunder rumbles, and the line between wisdom and foolishness vanishes in the clouds.
