The Other Side Of the Game
From the acclaimed author of A Mighty Love comes a bittersweet saga of love, friendship, sisters--and sisterhood. . . Half-sisters Asha Mitchell and Saundra Patterson are close even though they have almost nothing in common. Twenty-two-year-old Saundra is a clean-living vegan and yoga enthusiast, about to graduate from college and marry her high school sweetheart. She's also a real daddy's girl who believes that her police detective father is the most infallible man on the planet. Twenty-four-year-old Asha is a fiercely independent career woman and serial dater who has no intention of settling down--or giving up meat of any kind. The two are happily planning for Saundra's upcoming nuptials. But the festivities come to an abrupt halt when Saundra makes a shocking discovery that topples her father from his pedestal and shatters her trust in men--including her fiancé. Shaken, Saundra flees to the only place that feels safe: Asha's house. But will living under the same roof bring healing--or be the worst mistake yet for two sisters who couldn't be more different?

Richard Wright
African-American writer Richard Wright (1908-1960) was celebrated during the early 1940s for his searing autobiography (Black Boy) and fiction (Native Son). By 1947 he felt so unwelcome in his homeland that he exiled himself and his family in Paris. But his writings changed American culture forever, and today they are mainstays of literature and composition classes. He and his works are also the subjects of numerous critical essays and commentaries by contemporary writers. This volume presents a comprehensive annotated bibliography of those essays, books, and articles from 1983 through 2003. Arranged alphabetically by author within years are some 8,320 entries ranging from unpublished dissertations to book-length studies of African American literature and literary criticism. Also included as an appendix are addenda to the author's earlier bibliography covering the years from 1934 through 1982. This is the exhaustive reference for serious students of Richard Wright and his critics.
Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Literature
Hip Hop literature, also known as urban fiction or street lit, is a type of writing evocative of the harsh realities of life in the inner city. Beginning with seminal works by such writers as Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim and culminating in contemporary fiction, autobiography, and poetry, Hip Hop literature is exerting the same kind of influence as Hip Hop music, fashion, and culture. Through more than 180 alphabetically arranged entries, this encyclopedia surveys the world of Hip Hop literature and places it in its social and cultural contexts. Entries cite works for further reading, and a bibliography concludes the volume. Coverage includes authors, genres, and works, as well as on the musical artists, fashion designers, directors, and other figures who make up the context of Hip Hop literature. Entries cite works for further reading, and the encyclopedia concludes with a selected, general bibliography. Students in literature classes will value this guide to an increasingly popular body of literature, while students in social studies classes will welcome its illumination of American cultural diversity.
