A compelling anthology of Black voices from England, America, Africa and the Caribbean, from people who lived, worked, campaigned and travelled in Britain from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library.Professor Hakim Adi, shortlisted for the Wolfson history prize, draws on a variety of published works in Black Voices on Britain, all of which describe powerful experiences: James Gronniosaw and his family endure poverty, illness and unemployment; Mary Prince is driven out by her cruel owners and turns to London charities for help; Frederick Douglass, on a lecture tour around Britain, reveals how the Christian clergy built churches with slave-owners’ money; and William Wells Brown gives his impressions of England as he travels around a country which welcomes him more readily than America.

Every moment, filmed. Every struggle, recorded. Day to day life is hard for film students. Whether you're an editor, a scriptwriter or a videographer, it's never easy. More so when an apocalypse has arrived, taking with it the industry you've dedicated your life to and leaving you with Skills ill-suited to a post-apocalyptic fantasy hellscape. But humans are adaptable and Skills, with just a touch of imagination, can be wielded with precision. And if there's one thing this party has, it's imagination galore. A New Script is set in the second year of the apocalypse (between books 4 and 5) and features new characters.Voir livre
The Islands follows the lives of Jamaican women—immigrants or the descendants of immigrants—who have relocated all over the world to escape the ghosts of colonialism on what they call the Island. Set in the United States, Jamaica, and Europe, these international stories examine the lives of an uncertain and unsettled cast of characters. In one story, a woman and her husband impulsively leave San Francisco and move to Florida with wild dreams of American reinvention only to unearth the cracks in their marriage. In another, the only Jamaican mother—who is also a touring comedienne—at a prep school feels pressure to volunteer in the school's International Day. Meanwhile, in a third story, a travel writer finally connects with the mother who once abandoned her. Set in locations and times ranging from 1950s London to 1960s Panama to modern-day New Jersey, Dionne Irving reveals the intricacies of immigration and assimilation in this debut, establishing a new and unforgettable voice in Caribbean-American literature. Restless, displaced, and disconnected, these characters try to ground themselves—to grow where they find themselves planted—in a world in which the tension between what's said and unsaid can bend the soul.Voir livre

A Clown for Orphans & Other Short Stories gathers seven quiet, redemptive tales—ordinary lives brushed by the surprising nearness of God. These aren’t stories that shout. They move at the pace of real life: steady, unhurried, carrying both wounds and hope. There’s a clown who gives more than he thought he had for the sake of another’s healing. A teenage girl with a jar of coins whose small act sets something sacred in motion. A hard man who learns mercy is not weakness, but the only way left open to him. I write with honesty and faith, where questions are welcome and grace shows itself in unexpected ways. This audiobook is narrated by Patrick Oliver Griswold, with additional character voices provided by professional actors.Voir livre
