This fresh and invigorating analysis illuminates the often-neglected story of early African American civil rights activism.
African American Civil Rights: Early Activism and the Niagara Movement tells a fascinating story, one that is too frequently marginalized. Offering the first full-length, comprehensive sociological analysis of the Niagara Movement, which existed between 1905 and 1910, the book demonstrates that, although short-lived, the movement was far from a failure. Rather, it made the need to annihilate Jim Crow and address the atrocities caused by slavery publicly visible, creating a foundation for more widely celebrated mid-20th-century achievements.
This unique study focuses on what author Angela Jones terms black publics, groups of concerned citizens―men and women, alike―who met to shift public opinion. The book explores their pivotal role in initiating the civil rights movement, specifically examining secular organizations, intellectual circles, the secular black press, black honor societies and clubs, and prestigious educational networks. All of these, Jones convincingly demonstrates, were seminal to the development of civil rights protest in the early 20th century.
 • Primary source documents including the Niagara Movement's "Declaration of Principles"

Summer in Baden-Baden

A lost masterpiece and one of the major achievements of Russian literature in the second half of the 20th century.Summer in Baden-Baden was acclaimed by The New York Review of Books as "a short poetic masterpiece" and by Donald Fanger in The Los Angeles Times as "gripping, mysterious and profoundly moving." A complex, highly original novel, Summer in Baden-Baden has a double narrative. It is wintertime, late December: a species of "now." A narrator―Tsypkinis on a train going to Leningrad. And it is also mid-April 1867. The newly married Dostoyevskys, Fyodor, and his wife, Anna Grigor'yevna, are on their way to Germany, for a four-year trip. This is not, like J. M. Coetzee's The Master of St. Petersburg, a Dostoyevsky fantasy. Neither is it a docu-novel, although its author was obsessed with getting everything "right." Nothing is invented, everything is invented. Dostoyevsky's reckless passions for gambling, for his literary vocation, for his wife, are matched by her all-forgiving love, which in turn resonates with the love of literature's disciple, Leonid Tsypkin, for Dostoyevsky. In a remarkable introductory essay (which appeared in The New Yorker), Susan Sontag explains why it is something of a miracle that Summer in Baden-Baden has survived, and celebrates the happy event of its publication in America with an account of Tsypkin's beleaguered life and the important pleasures of his marvelous novel.

The Power of the V is about COURAGE! It's about understanding that the strength of a woman is not in her sexuality, but in her ability to: Stand in her truth. Be Authentic. Be Transparent. Be Vulnerable. Each of these Authors made a decision to Tell Her Story in a way that allows for revelation, love, forgiveness, joy, and freedom. Seven women have decided to examine themselves and share stories that have left an imprint on their heart. Topics such as sexual trauma, domestic violence, infertility, health issues, and self-esteem are all covered in this book of raw emotion. These authors agree that nothing is as scary, uncomfortable, and yet emotionally freeing as discussing that "thing" that's been silently weighing you down.

The art of haiku is to express much yet remain concise. The poet must pack a great deal of meaning into their poet while only saying a few words. This brief anthology features poets who have captured that balance between remaining small and concise and showing us an entire world.
