Sinopse

Rural Delivery Expansions explores the transformative impact of extending postal service to remote areas of the United States, highlighting how this initiative spurred economic development and strengthened social cohesion. The book examines the political history behind this policy choice, revealing how government subsidies and logistical innovation, like the establishment of star routes, overcame geographical barriers. This expansion wasn't simply about delivering mail; it was about fostering political inclusion and connecting isolated rural communities to the broader nation, a deliberate effort that reshaped access to vital resources.

 
The book progresses across three major sections, first dissecting the political climate that fueled the demand for rural free delivery. It then investigates the practical solutions and technological adaptations that made widespread delivery feasible, spotlighting the challenges faced by postal workers. Finally, the narrative analyzes the profound effects of expanded mail service on rural communities, including improved literacy rates and enhanced access to news and commercial opportunities. By integrating political, economic, and social perspectives, Rural Delivery Expansions offers a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal moment in American history.

    A New York Times bestselling and award-winning author presents a complex story about his coming-of-age journey as a Black boy, from the societal roots of trauma to finding joy. "If I had two wishes, it would be that D. Watkins spend an entire book writing through the terrifying wonder of Black boyness in America, and for every human to read and share this book. I am shaken. Black Boy Smile changed my relationship to writing and me."―Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy and winner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal   At nine years old, D. Watkins has three concerns in life: picking his dad’s Lotto numbers, keeping his Nikes free of creases, and being a man. Directly in his periphery is east Baltimore, a poverty-stricken city battling the height of the crack epidemic just hours from the nation’s capital. Watkins, like many boys around him, is thrust out of childhood and into a world where manhood means surviving by slinging crack on street corners and finding oneself on the right side of pistols. For thirty years, Watkins is forced to safeguard every moment of joy he experiences or risk losing himself entirely. Now, for the first time, Watkins harnesses these moments to tell the story of how he matured into the D. Watkins we know today—beloved author, college professor, editor-at-large of Salon.com, and devoted husband and father.Black Boy Smile lays bare Watkins’s relationship with his father and his brotherhood with the boys around him. He shares candid recollections of early assaults on his body and mind and reveals how he coped using stoic silence disguised as manhood. His harrowing pursuit of redemption, written in his signature street style, pinpoints how generational hardship, left raw and unnurtured, breeds toxic masculinity. Watkins discovers a love for books, is admitted to two graduate programs, meets with his future wife, an attorney—and finds true freedom in fatherhood.   Equally moving and liberating, Black Boy Smile is D. Watkins’s love letter to Black boys in concrete cities, a daring testimony that brings to life the contradictions, fears, and hopes of boys hurdling headfirst into adulthood. Black Boy Smile is a story proving that when we acknowledge the fallacies of our past, we can uncover the path toward self-discovery. Black Boy Smile is the story of a Black boy who healed.
