Book excerpt: When his family was attacked by Arapahos, Jared Sunnedon saw his parents slaughtered. He and his sister Kate made it out alive, only to be taken prisoner. Then and there, they vowed that if they were ever separated, they’d never give up the search for each other. After Kate was captured by Utes and sold off, Jared made good on his promise and escaped. But the hunt put a hard edge on the young man. He’s gotten a reputation as a bitter mad-dog killer. That’s the way Jared likes it. Because there’s no man alive—and no stretch of wasted desert or backwater dirt town—that’s going to come between Jared and the only family’s he’s got left.

Book excerpt: The current economic and political crises that the U.S. is suffering are extrapolated to the middle of the twenty-first century. At that time, conditions have deteriorated to the point that civil rebellion is imminent. A new organization of patriots advocates changes to the election system as well as thorough reform of long-standing regulations and policies. The conflict between the reformers and the corrupt establishment spawns a 'grass-roots' campaign led by a charismatic, dedicated but politically inexperienced man of humble origin.

Download or read book Sundown Towns written by James W. Loewen and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Powerful and important . . . an instant classic." —The Washington Post Book World The award-winning look at an ugly aspect of American racism by the bestselling author of Lies My Teacher Told Me, reissued with a new preface by the author In this groundbreaking work, sociologist James W. Loewen, author of the classic bestseller Lies My Teacher Told Me, brings to light decades of hidden racial exclusion in America. In a provocative, sweeping analysis of American residential patterns, Loewen uncovers the thousands of "sundown towns"—almost exclusively white towns where it was an unspoken rule that blacks weren't welcome—that cropped up throughout the twentieth century, most of them located outside of the South. Written with Loewen's trademark honesty and thoroughness, Sundown Towns won the Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award, received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Booklist, and launched a nationwide online effort to track down and catalog sundown towns across America. In a new preface, Loewen puts this history in the context of current controversies around white supremacy and the Black Lives Matter movement. He revisits sundown towns and finds the number way down, but with notable exceptions in exclusive all-white suburbs such as Kenilworth, Illinois, which as of 2010 had not a single black household. And, although many former sundown towns are now integrated, they often face "second-generation sundown town issues," such as in Ferguson, Missouri, a former sundown town that is now majority black, but with a majority-white police force.

Book excerpt: Nathan Knight was a youngster with a shabby background - a nothin' from nowhere was how he put it, with no past and less future. Not until he met up with Hannibal Reno, a bounty hunter, a man with no feelings towards the men he tracked, just a craving desire for the reward money their capture brought. But Reno was going slowly blind - he struck at sundown to even his chances with his sharper-eyed victims - and eagerly Nathan became his "eyes", steadily learning the deadly profession, stifling his conscience with the knowledge that the men he hunted were not human beings only outlaws and killers deserving of capture or death. It was not until Nathan trailed and caught the most wanted man in the South-west that he began to question what he was doing and what he had become. And it was not until he had to risk his own life to save his captive that he realised he had to leave the Sundown Trail - and fast.
