Hamel, the Obeah Man is set against the backdrop of early nineteenth-century Jamaica, and tells the story of a slave rebellion planned in the ruins of a plantation. Though the novel is sympathetic to white slaveholders and hostile to anti-slavery missionaries, it presents a complex picture of the culture and resistance of the island’s black majority. Hamel, the spiritual leader of the rebels, becomes more and more central to the story, and is a surprisingly powerful and ultimately ambiguous figure. This Broadview Edition includes a new foreword by Kamau Brathwaite, as well as a critical introduction and appendices. The extensive appendices include contemporary reviews of the novel, other authors’ and travellers’ descriptions of Jamaica, and historical documents related to slave insurrections and the debate over slavery.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER It’s time for a black exit. Political activist and social media star Candace Owens addresses the many ways that Democrat Party policies hurt, rather than help, the African American community, and why she and many others are turning right. Black Americans have long been shackled to the Democrats. Seeing no viable alternative, they have watched liberal politicians take the black vote for granted without pledging anything in return. In Blackout, Owens argues that this automatic allegiance is both illogical and unearned. She contends that the Democrat Party has a long history of racism and exposes the ideals that hinder the black community’s ability to rise above po...

For Bishop Aaron Williams, his journey has been about finding purpose, meaning, and a calling in his life. In My Father’s Business: A Memoir of Purpose and Revelation, he shares his story in order to pay respect to his forefathers and to provide his children with a written record of his life and their heritage. This memoir details the critical, destiny-making moments of Williams’s life, providing a narrative of how he developed a relationship with Christ driven by inspiration and in spite of religious dogma. Recalling his childhood in Sweeny, Texas; his service in the US Navy; his family; and his ministry, My Father’s Business: A Memoir of Purpose and Revelation shows how Christ revealed his purpose for Williams’s life through a personal relationship with him—a connection that has nothing to do with religion and denominations and everything to do with knowing Christ. A collection of one man’s remembered experiences and emotions, this written record delivers the message that through Christ all things are possible.
