A valuable edition to Hurston’s canon that will appeal both to her fans and to new readers of her work. Pair with Alice Walker’s In Search of Our Mother’s Gardens.
Hawkins’s memoir is deeply reflective and transparent about his personal story and family history, sharing the love, restrictions, violence, and trauma he experienced throughout his life as a Black man living in a post–civil rights movement world. This work is vitally important and essential to understanding the magnitude of the impact of racism and violence.
Shetterly gives readers a compelling narrative of personal stories about the 1979 Greensboro massacre and its legacy in the context of Greensboro’s history, the Black liberation movement, and political and revolutionary aspirations to end the nation’s racial disparities and exploitation of the working poor.
Walker’s reflections are honest with trappings of anger, regret, and growth. Readers who enjoyed his previous titles will savor this one, as will new readers, who will want to read his previous works.
A unique crime with an appealing motive, great character development, and engrossing storytelling sustain this novel, but loose ends at its finale might not satisfy some readers. Will appeal to fans of Attica Locke, S.A. Cosby, and Joe Lansdale.
Coles’s novel is another stellar example of how marginalized voices are taking a perennially popular genre, previously dominated by white characters and authors, and revitalizing it for 21st-century readers in a manner that honors its history but injects brand-new terrors, similar to Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas.
This poignant memoir about overcoming devastating odds is a treasure and likely to become a classic. Essential reading for deepening understanding of society, the world, familial relationships, and the meaning of art and life.
Parents and child-welfare professionals will benefit from this excellent work that gives an insider’s view of child protective services. Pair with We Were Once a Family by Roxanna Asgarian.
