The Black Panther Party (reconsidered)
This new collection of essays, contributed by scholars and former Panthers, is a ground-breaking work that offers thought-provoking and pertinent observations about the many facets of the Party. By placing the perspectives of participants and scholars side by side, Dr. Jones presents an insider view and initiates a vital dialogue that is absent from most historical studies.
The Tempus Stone
An ordinary woman, a mystic stone, and a truth that will change their lives . . . Caitlin Reed is a simple woman living a simple life until Ewen MacLean crashes into her world, and an old family enemy resurfaces to accuse her of harboring a magic stone. Now, plunged into a world of time-travel and magic, she and Ewen have ten days to locate the Tempus Stone. Or people die. Ten days to discover the real danger may not be the villain holding them hostage, but the ancient magic burning inside her. The Tempus Stone is the first installment in the Gods and Fate series, an action-packed romantic fantasy series featuring a modern woman, a 15th century Scottish warrior, and a love battling to withstand time, magic, and a vengeful god set on destroying their world. Expect dark elements, steamy romance, and sharp cliffhangers.
Elizabeth Gaskell
This absorbing study of Elizabeth Gaskell's early life up to her marriage in 1832 is based almost entirely on new evidence. Also, using parish records, marriage settlements, property transfers, wills, record office documents, letters, journals and private papers, John Chapple has recreated the background of one of the nineteenth century's greatest novelists.
Josephine Baker
Based on twenty years of research and thousands of interviews, this authoritative biography of performer Josephine Baker (1906-1975) provides a candid look at her tempestuous life. Born into poverty in St. Louis, the uninhibited chorus girl became the sensation of Europe and the last century's first black sex symbol. A heroine of the French Resistance in World War II, she entranced figures as diverse as de Gaulle, Tito, Castro, Princess Grace, two popes, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Yet Josephine was also, as one critic put it, "a monster who made Joan Crawford look like the Virgin Mary." Jean-Claude Baker's book also reveals her outbursts that resulted in lasting feuds, her imperious treatment of family and entourage members, and her ambivalent attitudes concerning her ethnic background. Reconciling Josephine's many personas—Jazz-age icon, national hero of France, proponent of Civil Rights, mother of children from across the globe—Josephine: The Hungry Heart gives readers the inside story on a star unlike any other before or since.
