Download or read book The Accident of Color A Story of Race in Reconstruction written by Daniel Brook and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A technicolor history of the first civil rights movement and its collapse into black and white. Brutal slavery existed all over the New World, but only America followed emancipation with a twisted system of segregation. The Accident of Color asks why. Searching for answers, Daniel Brook journeys to the places that resisted Jim Crow the longest. In the cosmopolitan port cities of New Orleans and Charleston, integrated streetcars plied avenues patrolled by integrated police forces for decades after the Civil War. This progress was ushered in during Reconstruction when long-free, openly biracial communities joined in coalition with the formerly enslaved and allies at the fringes of whiteness. Tragically, their victories—including integrated schools—and their alliance itself were violently uprooted by segregation along a stark, new black-white color line. By revisiting a turning point in the construction of America’s uniquely restrictive racial system, The Accident of Color brings to life a moment from our past that illuminates the origins of the racial lies we live by.

Download or read book Effortless Belonging written by Oscar Willis Mitchell and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2022-11-21 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lost Science of Synchrony is the Lankavatara Sutra’s thesis. An ancient text, based on an outlawed teaching, gathered from the ruins of an obliterated dynasty, it is heretical and revolutionary concerning doctrine and religion. Hidden away as an esoteric treasure for 1600 years, the single translation from Sanskrit to English required computer analysis to understand. This book minimizes the esoteric and explains the limitations and challenges of human potential, its relevance is life changing. The ancients gave us a basis to understand who we are and how to go beyond our animal limitations, into a wellbeing beyond our wildest dreams. This challenging book reveals a whole new paradigm beyond imagination and discrimination. Like Everest it’s not for the faint hearted, but man what a view. Effortless belonging is the greatest desire of sentient awareness and the pinnacle of consciousness, driven by destiny and nature, as something we are called to experience. In this book, a vocabulary and basis to understand our authentic nature is revealed in a spiraling staircase of logic without esoteric obscurity. It’s as simple as the pause between thoughts and as profound as a surprise, which keeps you awake at night.
Download or read book Lost Mars written by Mike Ashley and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “thoroughly enjoyable” collection of stories imagining the Red Planet during the golden age of science fiction, from an award-winning anthologist (Kirkus Reviews). An antique-shop owner gets a glimpse of the Red Planet through an intriguing artifact. A Martian’s wife contemplates the possibility of life on Earth. A resident of Venus describes his travels across the two alien planets. From an arid desert to an advanced society far superior to Earth’s, portrayals of Mars have differed radically in their attempts to uncover the truth about our neighboring planet. Since the 1880s, after an astronomer described “channels” on its surface, writers have speculated endlessly on what life on Mars might look like and what might happen should we make contact with its inhabitants. This collection offers ten wildly imaginative stories by famed authors like H.G. Wells, Ray Bradbury, and J.G. Ballard as well as hard-to-find selections by unjustly forgotten writers of the genre. Introduced by acclaimed anthologist Mike Ashley, they vividly evoke a time when notions of life on other planets—from vegetation and water to space invaders and utopian societies—were new and startling. As we continue to imagine landing people on Mars, these stories represent gripping and vivid dispatches from futurists past. “[A] superlative set of stories. . . . Vibrant and powerful.” —Locus “These stories are of the highest quality and illustrate how our evolving understanding of the Red Planet changed the way we wrote about it and how Mars came to occupy a prominent position in our hopes, dreams, and fears as the modern age dawned and grew.” —Booklist
Download or read book The Stuff of Science Fiction written by Gary Westfahl and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While students and general readers typically cannot relate to esoteric definitions of science fiction, they readily understand the genre as a literature that characteristically deals with subjects such as new inventions, space, robot and aliens. This book looks at science fiction in precisely this manner, with twenty-one chapters that each deal with a subject that is repeatedly addressed in science fiction of recent centuries. Based on a packet of original essays that the author assembled for his classes, the book could serve as a supplemental textbook in science fiction classes, but also contains material of interest to science fiction scholars and others devoted to the genre. In some cases, chapters offer thorough surveys of numerous works involving certain subjects, such as imagined vehicles, journeys beneath the Earth and undersea adventures, discovering intriguing patterns in the ways that various writers developed their ideas. When comprehensive coverage of ubiquitous topics such as robots, aliens and the planet Mars is impossible, chapters focus on major themes referencing selected texts. A conclusion discusses other science fiction subjects that were omitted for various reasons, and a bibliography lists additional resources for the study of science fiction in general and the topics of each chapter.
Download or read book The Amherst County Story written by Alfred Percy and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1775 Amherst County, which then included Nelson County, had a population of 5296 whites and 2750 Negroes. This presents a picture of Amherst County in the relatively small thirteen colonies far different from the false one often given of the "sparsely settled frontier." Men of ability came early to the county. They played an important part in the Revolution that created the commonwealth and nation. The Amherst County Story is part of The Virginia Saga. Such has this been through two hundred years--the ups and downs of a county and state that at times produced great men but, more often, despairing and discontented men who left. -- Pg. 3.
