Download or read book Skin Folk written by Nalo Hopkinson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SFWA Grand Master’s award-winning collection “combines a richly textured multicultural background with incisive storytelling” (Library Journal). In Skin Folk, with works ranging from science fiction to Caribbean folklore, passionate love to chilling horror, Nalo Hopkinson is at her award-winning best, spinning tales like “Precious,” in which the narrator spews valuable coins and gems from her mouth whenever she attempts to talk or sing. In “A Habit of Waste,” a self-conscious woman undergoes elective surgery to alter her appearance; days later she’s shocked to see her former body climbing onto a public bus. In “The Glass Bottle Trick,” the young protagonist ignores her intuition regarding her new husband’s superstitions—to horrifying consequences. Hopkinson’s unique pacing and vibrant dialogue sets a steady beat for stories that illustrate why she received the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. Entertaining, challenging, and alluring, Skin Folk is not to be missed. Praise for Nalo Hopkinson and the World Fantasy Award–winning Skin Folk “Hopkinson’s prose is vivid and immediate.” —The Washington Post Book World “An important new writer.” —The Dallas Morning News “Her descriptions of ordinary people finding themselves in extraordinary circumstances ring true, the result of her strong evocation of place and her ear for dialect.” —Publishers Weekly “A marvelous display of Nalo Hopkinson’s talents, skills and insights into the human conditions of life, especially of the fantastic realities of the Caribbean . . . Everything is possible in her imagination.” —Science Fiction Chronicle

Download or read book Other People s Skin written by Tracy Price-Thompson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-10-02 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Led by bestselling author Tracy Price-Thompson, Other People's Skin is a collection of four novellas by four leading African American women writers that acknowledges, examines, and conquers the skin and hair topic among African American women. In Other People's Skin, Tracy Price-Thompson and TaRessa Stovall, along with fellow authors Elizabeth Atkins, and Desiree Cooper, take on one of the most controversial topics within the African American community: the self-hatred caused by intraracial prejudice and the ongoing obsession with skin tone and hair texture. It begins with TaRessa Stovall's "My People, My People," in which a successful advertising executive acquires firsthand knowledge of prejudice when her clients insist on using light-skinned rather than dark-skinned models. Next comes Tracy Price-Thompson's award-winning story "Other People's Skin," a tale set in 1970s Louisiana, where a dark-skinned young woman must come to terms with the bigotry of her light-skinned family. "New Birth," by Desiree Cooper reveals the intense roles that money, class, and skin color play in the intraracial relationship between Catherine, a wealthy, light-skinned lawyer, and Lettie, her dark-skinned house cleaner. Finally, Elizabeth Atkin's "Take It Off" tells the story of a biracial girl who hides her coarse, braided hair from her friends at a mixed-race university in Detroit. Other People's Skin is the most innovative and varied anthology of sisterhood and unity to date. Each novella entertains, challenges, and, most important, offers healing to the reader—no matter what her race, skin tone, or state of mind.

But like all families, they had their share of issues. And Lonnie knew the shit was going to hit the fan soon. She just prayed it would not be today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Tear Society is the autobiographical memoir of a young woman who knows, has seen, and has heard too much. Tajuana Simpson wrote this book after realizing that she needed an outlet or else she might lose her sanity. She had become tired of being tired. However, she was then unaware of her root problem, that she lacked the experience of having a real father. Her childhood memories were clouded by the violence and dysfunction which her biological father brought on her family before he abandoned them. As an adult, Ms. Simpson worked, was an able single parent, and truly appeared normal in others' eyes. However, she increasingly found that when others were happy around her, she was sad, and when others were sad, she was happy. "It appeared" There was a tear that stayed on her face for several years, one that you couldn't see or touch. In order to conquer this sadness, she had to write Black Tear Society. This book points out the shame of those who hide behind false exteriors and fail to own up to interior, self-based issues. It deals with ones who stay in the window and never take a look in the mirror or try to gain understanding. Ms. Simpson has realized that a nation of people is crying out for help with a black tear, and wondering if the unhappiness will ever go away.......
Download or read book The Bend written by Terrence Tuthill and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three families who live just 20 miles from each other, but they might as well be living on different planets. The Hood of South Central and Barrio of East LA mix and collide with the privileged beach communities of West Los Angeles in the times of meteoric change chronicled in the 1950’s and 60’s. The Bend is a memoir of one boy living with his family on the beach among the surf culture of the 50’s, surf pioneers who were called bums by many, including his strict parents, but went on to build a multi-million dollar global industry. Pete Thompson enjoyed the freedom of the beach and ocean every day, while in South Central, Jesse Moore and his family had things a little different. As well, in the Barrio of East LA, Hector Hinojosa did not get those cooling ocean breezes like Pete, and the summers there, as with Jesse living just off 46th and South Central Ave remained hot and thick with the prospects of no future on the streets of inner city Los Angeles. The Bend is what America was and evolved into during the tumult of these years. It is our story, the story of our America.
