  Black Folk - The Roots of the...

  There have been countless books, articles, and televised reports in recent years about the almost mythic "white working class," a tide of commentary that has obscured the labor, and even the very existence, of entire groups of working people, including everyday Black workers. In this brilliant corrective, Black Folk, acclaimed historian Blair LM Kelley restores the Black working class to the center of the American story. 
   
   
   
  Spanning two hundred years—from one of Kelley's earliest known ancestors, an enslaved blacksmith, to the essential workers of the Covid-19 pandemic—Black Folk highlights the lives of the laundresses, Pullman porters, domestic maids, and postal workers who established the Black working class as a force in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Taking jobs white people didn't want and confined to segregated neighborhoods, Black workers found community in intimate spaces, from stoops on city streets to the backyards of washerwomen, where multiple generations labored from dawn to dusk, talking and laughing in a space free of white supervision. As millions of Black people left the violence of the American South for the promise of a better life in the North and West, these networks of resistance and joy sustained early arrivals and newcomers alike and laid the groundwork for organizing for better jobs, better pay, and equal rights.

  Harriet Tubman, forced to labor outdoors on a Maryland plantation, learned from the land a terrain for escape. Louisa May Alcott ran wild, eluding gendered expectations in New England. The Indigenous women's basketball team from Fort Shaw, Montana, recaptured a sense of pride in physical prowess as they trounced the white teams of the 1904 World's Fair. Celebrating women like these who acted on their confidence outdoors, Wild Girls brings new context to misunderstood icons like Sacagawea and Pocahontas, and to underappreciated figures like Native American activist writer Zitkála-Šá, farmworkers' champion Dolores Huerta, and labor and Civil Rights organizer Grace Lee Boggs. 
   
   
   
  This work of history puts girls of all races—and the landscapes they loved—at center stage and reveals the impact of the outdoors on women's independence, resourcefulness, and vision. For these trailblazing women of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, navigating the woods, following the stars, playing sports, and taking to the streets in peaceful protest were not only joyful pursuits, but also techniques to resist assimilation, racism, and sexism. Lyrically written and full of archival discoveries, Wild Girls evokes landscapes as richly as the girls who roamed in them—and argues for equal access to outdoor spaces for young women of every race and class today.

  Challenges and Opportunities (3 in 1) offers an in-depth exploration of the complex economic conditions and future prospects in Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Venezuela. This volume takes readers through the dynamic and turbulent economic histories of these three regions, shedding light on their shared struggles, unique opportunities, and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing global economy. 
  The economic landscape of Puerto Rico is deeply impacted by its unique status as a U.S. territory, grappling with fiscal crises, high debt, and questions about its political future. Mexico presents a story of transformation, navigating economic instability, labor issues, and its path toward modernization, while balancing global trade agreements like NAFTA with internal challenges such as inequality and corruption. Venezuela’s economic troubles, once driven by vast oil wealth, now tell a cautionary tale of mismanagement, political instability, hyperinflation, and a humanitarian crisis, making it one of the most pressing economic cases in Latin America. 
  This book provides critical insights into the economic landscapes of these nations, offering a broad understanding of the factors shaping their economies, the policy choices they face, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
