Black Montana
2022 Stubbendieck Great Plains Distinguished Book Prize Finalist Toward the end of the nineteenth century, many African Americans moved westward as Greater Reconstruction came to a close. Though, along with Euro-Americans, Black settlers appropriated the land of Native Americans, sometimes even contributing to ongoing violence against Indigenous people, this migration often defied the goals of settler states in the American West. In Black Montana Anthony W. Wood explores the entanglements of race, settler colonialism, and the emergence of state and regional identity in the American West during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By producing conditions of social, cultural, and economic precarity that undermined Black Montanans' networks of kinship, community, and financial security, the state of Montana, in its capacity as a settler colony, worked to exclude the Black community that began to form inside its borders after Reconstruction. Black Montana depicts the history of Montana's Black community from 1877 until the 1930s, a period in western American history that represents a significant moment and unique geography in the life of the U.S. settler-colonial project.
Morning Glory
"Imagine a pianist playing concerts with Benny Goodman and Cecil Taylor in successive years (1977-78). That pianist was Mary Lou Williams. In a career which spanned over fifty years, Mary was always on the cutting edge."--Bob Jacobsen, www.allaboutjazz
The Psychic on the Jury
When there’s a psychic on the jury, how can justice be blind? Mel Walker, a psychic living in Sacramento with the ability to see ghosts and look into the past, is summoned to serve on a jury. It’s not just any case, either: it’s a murder trial. With someone in the jury box who doesn’t have to worry about shadows of doubt, justice should be easily served, right? When the prosecution and the defense attorneys are unevenly matched, it’s up to Mel to make sure the jury arrives at the right verdict, even if it means exposing his secret. Even if it means putting himself — or others — in danger.
