Описание:

The anonymous author discovers the most astonishing secret in American literature, complete with priceless manuscripts, in Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. Walt Whitmans shocking secret story and the evidence that proves it have been kept under wraps ever since the war-torn summer of 1864. Ezra and June, a former slave and a poetry-obsessed white woman, are in love, hidden away in a shack. Their chance encounter with the despondent Walt Whitman, at that time a failed, little-known poet, sends Whitman on his way to greatness and births a still-thriving secret legacy that grows to encompass poets and writers across time and continents--the peerless Rock Creek Gang.

Lured into the hidden world of the vast, modern-day park by its zany tribe of misfits, the narrator weaves his madcap adventure of discovery along with his telling of Whitmans secret story to conjure up an American saga: the horrors of slavery and war and the story of two families, one black and one white, bound together by Whitmans long-cherished secrets and the saving grace of poetry.

In the present day, the heroes of this vividly imagined novel, a neer-do-well booklover obsessed with John Keats and a wizened, homeless black man who recites Langston Hughes, connive to reveal Whitmans closely guarded secrets and the strange, hidden world of Rock Creek Park. At stake is Whitmans true legacy and the fate of the narrator and his fellow Rock Creek secret-keepers.

The novel will delight and surprise non-poetry fans as well as poetry enthusiasts (poetry is experiencing a comeback ), particularly fans of Whitman and the Rock Creek Gang who share his secret legacy: John Keats, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Emily Dickinson, Richard Brautigan, Roberto Bola o and Langston Hughes. The first-ever novel set in Rock Creek Park will also appeal to fiction readers among the two million annual visitors to the countrys largest urban park.

Wild Walt and the Rock Greek Gang is a modern-day Dead Poets Society turned on its precious head. A diverse cast of misfit under-represented characters, not at a prep school but in a gritty, hidden world smack dab in the middle of Washington, D.C., give it the same broad appeal--the power of poetry brought to life for general non-poetry readers. It is a modern American version of literary discovery novels like bestsellers Possession and People of the Book.




Colonial Racial Capitalism

Описание: The contributors to Colonial Racial Capitalism consider anti-Blackness, human commodification, and slave labor alongside the history of Indigenous dispossession and the uneven development of colonized lands across the globe. They demonstrate the co-constitution and entanglement of slavery and colonialism from the conquest of the New World through industrial capitalism to contemporary financial capitalism. Among other topics, the essays explore the historical suturing of Blackness and Black people to debt, the violence of uranium mining on Indigenous lands in Canada and the Belgian Congo, how municipal property assessment and waste management software encodes and produces racial difference, how Puerto Rican police crackdowns on protestors in 2010 and 2011 drew on decades of policing racially and economically marginalized people, and how historic sites in Los Angeles County narrate the Mexican-American War in ways that occlude the war’s imperialist groundings. The volume’s analytic of colonial racial capitalism opens new frameworks for understanding the persistence of violence, precarity, and inequality in modern society.

Описание:

Brian Matthew Jordan's Marching Home, a "powerful exploration" (Washington Post) of the fates of Union veterans, vaulted him into the first rank of Civil War historians. Now, in A Thousand May Fall, Jordan sends us trundling along dusty roads with the 107th Ohio, an ethnically German infantry regiment whose members battled nativism no less than Confederate rebels.

The 107th was at once ordinary and exceptional: its ranks played central roles in two of the war's pivotal battles, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, even as language, identity, and popular perceptions of their loyalties set them apart. Drawing on many never-before-used sources, Jordan shows how, while enduring the horrible extremes of war, the men of the 107th Ohio contemplated the deeper meanings of the conflict--from personal questions of citizenship to the overriding matter of emancipation. A pioneering account from the grunt's perspective, A Thousand May Fall overturns many of our most basic assumptions about the bloodiest conflict in our history.
