Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Further Study of the Othello: Have We Misunderstood Shakespeare's Moor? The theory presented in these pages must stand or fall as an entirety. Yet it seems to me, what ever else its fate in the judgment of students, it at least, and at last, answers the long-standing accu sation against Shakespeare of sympathy with race prejudice and indifference to the claims of the com mon people; for in this interpretation we have a black man, who was once a slave, rising by his own merit to become a commander over white nobles; awarded the surpassing love of the almost angelic Desdemona; above all, rendered in heart and soul truly worthy such devotion, and invested with a nobility and loftiness such as Shakespeare has bestowed upon no hero of his own race.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robin McKinley's mesmerizing history of Damar is the stuff that legends are made of. The Hero and the Crown is a dazzling "prequel" to The Blue Sword. Aerin is the only child of the king of Damar, and should be his rightful heir. But she is also the daughter of a witchwoman of the North, who died when she was born, and the Damarians cannot trust her. But Aerin's destiny is greater than her father's people know, for it leads her to battle with Maur, the Black Dragon, and into the wilder Damarian Hills, where she meets the wizard Luthe. It is he who at last tells her the truth about her mother, and he also gives over to her hand the Blue Sword, Gonturan. But such gifts as these bear a great price, a price Aerin only begins to realize when she faces the evil mage, Agsded, who has seized the Hero's Crown, greatest treasure and secret strength of Damar.

Book excerpt: A pioneering, dazzling satire about a biracial black girl from Philadelphia searching for her Jewish father in New York City Oreo is raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia. Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note that triggers her quest to find him.

Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic journey of self-discovery like no other.
