Book excerpt: red cotton is an exploration of what it means to be black, queer, and woman in modern-day South Africa. gantsho interrogates being non-conformist in both a traditional-cultural-religious upbringing and a more liberal yet equally-oppressive urban socialisation. This poetry novella questions what women are taught about their bodies and the feminine sexual space, while also addressing the mother-daughter relationship as the first and most constant reference of womanhood. The collection moves fluidly between the erotic, the uncomfortable and grotesque. What is painful and what is beautiful? What is remembered and what is longed-for?

Download or read book Red River Campaign written by Ludwell H. Johnson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1958. Johnson tells the story of the Red River Campaign, which took place in Louisiana and Arkansas in the spring of 1864. In response to the demands of Union Free-Soil interests in Texas, and the need of New England textile manufacturers for cotton, an expedition was undertaken to open the way to Texas. General Nathaniel Banks conducted a combined military and naval expedition up the Red River in a campaign that lasted only from March 23 to May 20, 1864, but was one of the most destructive of the Civil War. The campaign ended in Banks's defeat at the Battle of Sabine Crossroads. This book illustrates how military operations during the Civil War were often intimately interwoven with political, economic, and ideological factors, which frequently determined the time and place of a Union offensive. The author describes the desires and opinions of the public, the press, and Lincoln's administration regarding an invasion of Texas, as well as the motivation of the officers themselves, such as Banks's aspiration for the 1864 presidential nomination. Johnson relates vividly the various battles of the expedition and the problems posed by mustering undisciplined troops, by having to procure supplies in poor country with insufficient supply lines, and by contending with bad weather and rough terrain.

Book excerpt: "Fields of Gold and Sorrows" begins in the allied trenches in France during the peak of World War One. One of the American wounded lying in this particular trench is Mark Royal, an heir to one of the wealthiest families in the entire world. Why would such a wealthy individual be here in the first place? Only Mark Royal knew the answer to that question and might never reveal the answer as he lie critically wounded in a muddy ditch with little chance he would make it out alive. On a sprawling piece of Georgia land known as the "Royal Farm" Mark's only sister who had just buried their father, was about to get word of another tragedy, with the news of her severely wounded brother someplace in France. "I have to travel to France and bring Mark home," Catherine said to her father's grave. "But first, I have to go find Billy. I know he's down in Florida someplace and I'll find him. I'll bring him back here where he belongs. He can oversee the farm while I'm gone to France so I can bring our brother home. Dead or alive, he will be buried on this farm like the rest of our family. I swear to you Mama and Daddy," Catherine said to the two stone markers before her, "I will bring Mark home!" Catherine wiped the tears from her eyes and walked slowly to the awaiting car. And so begins the second book in 'THE RED COTTON FIELDS' trilogy, an epic tale surrounding three of the wealthiest families in the entire world carrying the reader through the dark days of WWI into the happier days of the roaring twenties followed by the traumatic times of the great depression ending on the eve of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the beginning of WWII. It is a story of love, war, tragedy, and the human will to survive. The saga continues in 'Fields of Gold and Sorrow'. Hope you enjoy.
