The raw, dark inclination of humanity is for a person to elevate himself at the expense of another human being. Diaxophas is a dog-eat-dog world in which everyone is trying to claw their way to the top for his own purpose. One manÕs fate often rests in the hands of those whose actions may have wide-reaching and unforeseen ramifications. In this collection of stories, the fate of the Tempests is delicately intertwined with the actions of Sharpknife, King Aglar, Tasch, Malef, and Xeveryn. Come wallow in that gray area where wrong looks right, right looks wrong, and heroes and villains dance with similar cadences. Come experience the comedy, adventure, and intrigue of the Tempests. Come descend into the maelstrom.

The Story of the Negro is a history of Americans of African descent before and after slavery. Originally produced in two volumes, and published here for the first time in one paperback volume, the first part covers Africa and the history of slavery in the United States while the second part carries the history from the Civil War to the first part of the twentieth century. Booker T. Washington was born into slavery, worked menial jobs in order to acquire an education, and became the most important voice of African American interests beginning in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The Story of the Negro is valuable in part because it is full of significant information taken from hundreds of obscure sources that would be nearly impossible to assemble today. For instance, Washington discusses the rise of African American comedy with names, places, and dates; elsewhere he traces the growth and spread of African American home ownership and independent businesses in the United States; and his discussion of slavery is informed by his own life. Washington wanted African Americans to understand and embrace their heritage, not be ashamed of it. He explains, as an example, the role of music in the lives of the slaves and then notes how, nearly a generation later, many African Americans were "embarrassed" by this music and did not want to learn traditional songs. Washington is able to reflect on the first fifty years of his life embracing a range of experiences from share-cropping to dinner at the White House. It is just this autobiographical element that makes the volume compelling. Washington, with his indefatigable optimism, worked his entire life to achieve equality for African Americans through practical means. Founder of the first business association (the National Negro Business League), leader of the Tuskeegee Institute, where George Washington Carver conducted research, and supporter of numerous social programs designed to improve the welfare of African Americans, Washington was considered during his lifetime the spokesperson for African Americans by white society, particularly those in positions of power. This led to criticism from within the African American community, most notably from W. E. B. Du Bois, who considered Washington too accommodating of the white majority, but it took Washington's farsightedness to recognize that the immediate concerns of education, employment, and self-reflection were necessary to achieve the ultimate goal of racial equality.

ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR A NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION 'A beautifully readable reminder of how much of our urgent, collective history resounds in places all around us that have been hidden in plain sight.' Afua Hirsch, author of Brit(ish) Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks - those that are honest about the past and those that are not - which offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping a nation's collective history, and our own. It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our most essential stories are hidden in plain view - whether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth or entire neighbourhoods like downtown Manhattan, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women and children has been deeply imprinted. How the Word is Passed is a landmark book that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of the United States. Chosen as a book of the year by President Barack Obama, The Economist, Time, the New York Times and more, fans of Brit(ish) and Natives will be utterly captivated. What readers are saying about How the Word is Passed: 'How the Word Is Passed frees history, frees humanity to reckon honestly with the legacy of slavery. We need this book.' Ibram X. Kendi, Number One New York Times bestselling author 'An extraordinary contribution to the way we understand ourselves.' Julian Lucas, New York Times Book Review 'The detail and depth of the storytelling is vivid and visceral, making history present and real.' Hope Wabuke, NPR 'This isn't just a work of history, it's an intimate, active exploration of how we're still constructing and distorting our history." Ron Charles, The Washington Post 'In re-examining neighbourhoods, holidays and quotidian sites, Smith forces us to reconsider what we think we know about American history.' Time 'A history of slavery in this country unlike anything you've read before.' Entertainment Weekly 'A beautifully written, evocative, and timely meditation on the way slavery is commemorated in the United States.' Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer Prize-winning author

Excerpt from A Compendium of Slavery, as It Exists in the Present Day in the United States of America: To Which Is Prefixed, a Brief View of the Author's Descent From an African King on One Side, and From the Celebrated Indian Chief Powhattan on the Other; In Which He Refers to the Principal Transactions and Negotiations Between This Noble Chief and the En In dedicating the following pages to the people of Great Britain and Ireland, I trust that their sympathy with the oppressed and degraded Africans, in their present state of slavery throughout the southern regions of the United States of America, will overlook the imperfections of an humble education, as well as appreciate my motives for thus appearing so publicly before them. I must however, avow that the intelligence and humanity of this enlightened nation have alone encouraged and induced me to offer this tribute of respect to so illustrious and magnanimous an empire. With due regard and respect for all the true, candid, and fearless representations which have already been made by the abolitionists, both of the old and new world, respecting this monstrous and antichristian system of servitude, bondage, and kidnapping, I humbly beg leave to add a few of my own personal observations to the dark calendar of iniquities, which cast an indelible stain on the national character of this proud and free republic of the nineteenth century. While I disclaim any pecuniary considerations on my own part, or any ungrateful prejudice against the land of my nativity, I feel myself fully justified by the principles of humanity and charity, in contributing my mite towards the exposure of so barbarous a traffic in human flesh and bones.
