Historia
In the twenty-first century fictional community of Georgetown, SC, a story unfolds revealing family secrets and conflicts that challenge cultural beliefs. With bighearted intention, newlyweds Florence and Chadwick Wineglass attempt to promote economic legacy, but their unconscious motives often ensnare those they assist. The Wineglasses become raptor-like in their generosity at a moment when other community members’ intentions also prove to be menacing.

Insightful Beauty
Revisado: 04-21-25
Thank you for sharing such a great story that brought memories of my departed mother and grandfather. I remember so many of the words and vocabulary used. It actually made me shed a tear of joy remembering my low country roots.

Historia
Born in Blackness vitally reframes the story of medieval and emerging Africa, demonstrating how the economic ascendancy of Europe, the anchoring of democracy in the West, and the fulfillment of so-called Enlightenment ideals all grew out of Europe's dehumanizing engagement with the "dark" continent. In fact, French reveals, the first impetus for the Age of Discovery was not—as we are so often told, even today—Europe's yearning for ties with Asia, but rather its centuries-old desire to forge a trade in gold with legendarily rich Black societies in the heart of West Africa.

Historia
So often, Africa has been depicted simplistically as a uniform land of famines and safaris, poverty and strife, stripped of all nuance. In this bold and insightful book, Dipo Faloyin offers a much-needed corrective, weaving a vibrant tapestry of stories that bring to life Africa's rich diversity, communities, and histories. Starting with an immersive description of the lively and complex urban life of Lagos, Faloyin unearths surprising truths about many African countries' colonial heritage and tells the story of the continent's struggles with democracy through seven dictatorships.

Vibrant Unfiltered Truths
Revisado: 05-02-24
This book offers a profound journey through the unfiltered history of Africa and its diaspora, resonating deeply with my own life, my ancestors’ experiences, and the lives of my relatives on the continent. It not only enlightened me about lesser-known historical facts but also unveiled certain media agendas. Informative and uplifting, it broadened my perspective in unexpected ways.
