Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. After World War I, African American troops returned home with heightened expectations of the freedom and respect they'd received in Europe. France, in particular, welcomed these soldiers, believing they would bolster a French army besieged by battlefield casualties. Black- soldiers soon discovered that racial lines were not as strictly drawn as they were in the U.S. On returning to American soil, they were disappointed to find themselves under the shadow of Jim Crow restrictions enforced by the Ku Klux Klan whose ranks would swell throughout the 1920s. It was an existential moment in the history of Black Americans. Those who fought for their country's freedom were denied just that. Tensions spiked. In the summer of 1919, race riots broke out in several major cities. The subsequent blood spilled in America's streets would prompt Black poet James Weldon Johnson to coin the phrase "red summer" to describe the violence raging throughout the heartland. To many of its citizens, Knoxville, Tennessee, was the least likely place for such racial explosions. Knoxville's white folks were on good terms with the city's Black residents. However, when a white woman named Bertie Lindsey was murdered in August of 1919 by a killer alleged to be Black, a white Knoxville police officer, nursing a grudge, targeted a young and debonair Black man named Maurice Mays as the murderer. The subsequent riot and trial of Mays would capture national attention. The all-male, all-white jury's verdict would prove to be an act of injustice screaming for retribution. Nor would Mays's death by electrocution be the end of his story. Red Summer: A Novel is a work of historical fiction tapping into one of the most challenging times in America's blood-soaked history.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Michael Riley's Artifact: A Memoir is an exploration into the cultural geography of American life. With his Viennese immigrant mother and Arkansan father, both ambitious to claim new territories and roles different from those they were born into, the author attempts to show the effects of aspiration on his family. From the Deep South to the Northeast to the Pacific Northwest, the Riley family bring their flamboyant differentness along with them, daring others to discount them and welcoming the fight to be uniquely, fabulously themselves. Ed Riley, the youngest son of a prosperous Little Rock businessman, and Helene Kastinger, a survivor of bombings and gunfire from her childhood in World War II, meet in Copenhagen, marry in a hurry, and don't let any moss grow as they tour the world from Europe to Asia and Oceania. Having children enter the picture slows them down, but even after a girl and three boys join the family, they rarely miss a beat. They almost never do. Michael and his siblings move from city and state and region, both parents together and apart chasing academic careers. The memoir describes the individual settings and their denizens: like a modern Alexis de Toqueville, he comments on the strangeness and familiarity of each new locale to which he's forced to adjust. Failures and successes, loneliness and the search for a love and togetherness on their own terms, this book shows a family using all its resilience, native intelligence, and hard work ethic to escape the chaos of their shared lives-and to build individual ones that will bring them that small measure of peace they knew was possible and never gave up on achieving.
