"The Journey for Justice"
Website: Brown Sugar & Spice Books
Release Date: April 20, 2020
Book Description: The Journey for Justice contradicts the beliefs that black history is lost, nonexistent, and unimportant. The information in the book expands the knowledge on African American history, as well as reveals facts that have never been published. The research findings contribute to historical accuracy. I wish to reveal the contributions that enslaved families and their descendants have made to this country and are continuing to contribute to this country in their pursuit for equality and justice. My goals are to educate the public and preserve the African American history and heritage.
About the Author: My African American roots go back to Surry County, Virginia. My ancestors were enslaved on the Mount Pleasant/Swann's Point and Four-Mile Tree (located four miles from Jamestown) Plantations. After many years of researching the reliability of the oral histories and comparing this information with archival documents, I am presenting findings that are valid and worthy of publishing.
Christin Marie Taylor
"Labor Pains: New Deal Fictions of Race, Work, and Sex in the South"
Website: Amazon.com
Release Date: May 15, 2019
Book Description: Christin Marie Taylor offers a revealing and rewarding portrait of the souls of black folk―confessed and imaginary―in the writing of the Popular Front. She breaks the mold of most earlier scholarship on US literary radicalism in her focus on a specifically southern modernism and in her shift of attention from labor representation to labor affect, from the capital-P politics to the pleasures and pains of unrecognized black work. (William J. Maxwell, author of F.B. Eyes: How J. Edgar Hoover’s Ghostreaders Framed African American Literature and New Negro, Old Left: African-American Writing and Communism Between the Wars)
About the Author: Christin Marie Taylor is assistant professor of English at Shenandoah University. Taylor’s work has appeared in Southern Quarterly, Southern Cultures, American Literature in Transition: 1960–1970, and the Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Literature as well as Teaching the Works of Eudora Welty: Twenty-First-Century Approaches, published by University Press of Mississippi.
