Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set out to write a book about writing, in the tradition of Orwell’s classic “Politics and the English Language,” but found himself grappling with deeper questions about how our stories—our reporting and imaginative narratives and mythmaking—expose and distort our realities. In the first of the book’s three intertwining essays, Coates, on his first trip to Africa, finds himself in two places at once: in Dakar, a modern city in Senegal, and in a mythic kingdom in his mind.

A shared struggle: powerful comparisons between Black Americans and Palestinians
Revisado: 10-19-24
Ta-Nehisi Coates’ latest book masterfully weaves together the experiences of Black Americans and Palestinians, drawing profound connections between two oppressed peoples. Coates’ writing offers a raw, unflinching look at the systemic injustices that persist in both societies, while also celebrating the resilience of those who resist. As a Black reader, I found his analysis deeply resonant, especially in how he illuminates the parallels of displacement, surveillance, and resistance. Coates doesn’t just tell a story; he holds up a mirror, reflecting the intertwined struggles for freedom and dignity across borders. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of global oppression.

Cops can make mistakes, even when they're not rookies. Deeply traumatized by a shooting incident, Cass Raines resigned from the Chicago PD, leaving one less female African-American on the force. Now she's the head of a one-woman private investigation agency. She also plays chess with the only father figure she's ever known, Father Ray Heaton. When Father Ray asks Cass to look into a recent spate of vandalism at his church, she readily agrees to handle the case. But only hours later she's horrified to discover his murdered body in the church confessional, a dead gangbanger sprawled out nearby.

Intense and keeps you guessing
Revisado: 12-24-23
Really liked the fast pace of the story. The author turned a typical murder and detective story into an almost thriller. This is my second book in the series and I look forward to reading the next one. I’m hooked.

Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members - mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age.

I wanted facts about the current crisis and this book really provided them. It was very detailed and presented in a clear and unbiased manner. You end with an understanding of what started the conflict and why the conflict continues.

To bare your soul and tell the world your flaws is hard, but Viola does it. She is truly a role model for Black women and for all us women who spend our lives trying to hide our authentic selves. Thank you Viola.

As a Black person and Buddhist practitioner, I related to Rev. Shutt’s experiences, but I also saw the uniqueness as well. This book is very well written. It contains many examples of how to navigate a world shaped by white supremacy with skill and peace.

This is a biography of James Baldwin, author, one-time preacher, and civil rights activist. He chose David Leeming, a close friend and colleague, to write his biography and granted him access to his correspondence. Leeming traces his life from his birth in Harlem in 1924 to his self-imposed exile in Europe, his later years as political activist, and his public funeral in 1987.

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

I loved this book. It was like getting advice from a counselor, an activist, and a friend all at once. I am taking away a renewed sense of focus and understanding about marriage, friendship, and purpose. Thank you dear First Lady!!!

Drawing upon 25 years of experience representing Black youth in Washington, DC’s juvenile courts, Kristin Henning confronts America’s irrational, manufactured fears of these young people and makes a powerfully compelling case that the crisis in racist American policing begins with its relationship to Black children.

On a rainy spring day in Los Angeles, Homicide Detective Elouise "Lou" Norton is called away from a rare lunch date to Bonner Park, where the body of 13-year-old Chanita Lords has been discovered. Chanita was interested in photography and, much like Lou, a black girl destined to leave the housing projects behind. Her death fits a chilling pattern of exceptional African American girls - dancers, artists, honors scholars - gone recently missing in the same school district, the one Lou attended not so long ago.

In 2018, Emily Flitter received a tip that Morgan Stanley had fired a Black employee without cause. Flitter had been searching for a way to investigate the deep-rooted racism in the American financial industry, and that one tip lit the sparkplug for a three-year journey through the shocking yet normalized corruption in our financial institutions. Examining local insurance agencies and corporate titans like JPMorgan Chase, BlackRock, and Wells Fargo and reveals the practices that have kept the racial wealth gap practically as wide as it was during the Jim Crow era.
