Akers, Monte
Flames After Midnight Murder, Vengeance, and the Desolation of a TexasCommunity
Publisher: University of Texas Press 1999.
Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket Stated 1st Edition Hardcover What happened in Kirven, Texas, [Freestone County] in May 1922, had been forgotten by the outside world until Monte Akers was transferred there. It was a co-worker's whispered words, "Kirven is where they burned the [Negroes], " that set the author to work at discovering the true story behind a young white woman's brutal murder and the burning alive of three black men who were almost certainly innocent of it. This was followed by a month-long reign of terror as white men killed blacks while local authorities concealed the real identity of the white probable murderers and allowed them to go free. Would make a great movie. ; 0292704860 Part of a large estate of an avid reader and collector of books who obviously read every one of them, the clue being that they all have some amount of marginalia and underlining and the date read on the flypage, but after collating this book, found only the date on the flypage--no other writing. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 220 pages; Novelshoppe, shipping from Texas - Seller on TomFolio. 30236

Anderson, Victor
BEYOND ONTOLOGICAL BLACKNESS An Essay on African American Religious and Cultural Criticism
Publisher: Continuum New York.
Very Good, 1999, First Paperback Edition, Paperback 0826411525 Used in trade paperback. A clean, tight copy. Light wear and bumping to the covers. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 180 pages; In this study, Victor Anderson traces outcroppings of "ontological blackness" in African American theological, religious and cultural thought, arguing that African American critical thought has been trapped in racial rhetoric it did not create and which cannot serve it well. Drawing together 18th- and 19th-century accomodationism and its assimilationist heirs with the movements of Black Power adn Afrocentrism, Anderson shows that all exhibit a similar structure of racial identity. He suggests that it is time to move beyond the confines of "the cult of black heroic genius" to what Bell Hooks has termed "postmodern blackness": a racial discourse that leaves room to negotiate African American identities along lines of class, gender, sexuality, and age as well as race.

Banks, William M.
BLACK INTELLECTUALS Race and Responsibility in American Life
Publisher: W. W. Norton and Company, Inc. New York.
Very Good+, 1998, Second Printing, Paperback 9780393316742 Used in trade paperback. A clean, tight copy. Slight wear to the corners and edges. ; New Edition; B&W Photo Plates; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 335 pages; In the volumes of literature on black history and thought, few have focused on the black thinkers who have shaped the course of American culture. This landmark work charts the contours of black intellectual life across American history and chronicles its fluctuating fortunes. Black Intellectuals offers a centuries-deep analysis of black life, beginning with the arrival of Africans as slaves, when medicine men and conjurers held ancient, powerful wisdom. Author William Banks goes on to discuss prominent figures ranging from black pioneers like Alexander Crummell, Frederick Douglass, and Anna Cooper to intellectuals of the modern age such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Alain Locke, E. Franklin Frazier, Toni Morrison, and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. These and hundreds of other black scholars and artists--many of them interviewed for this volume--people an enlightened and imaginative landscape, fascinating for both its range and its diversity.
