MARCUS RED IKERThe Amistad RebellionAn Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom

Though the Amistad rebellion has been celebrated in films and books, its story has largely been told through the eyes of white abolitionists. University of Pittsburgh his-torian Marcus Rediker turns the the lens on the Africans themselves in this captivating new history.“Rediker takes a fresh approach to the Amistad rebellion by focusing on the Africans who revolted rather than on the American political and judicial response....Recom-mended for anyone interested in African American history, the history of slavery, and American history.”—Library Journal

SOLOMON NORTHUPTwelve Years a SlaveINTRODUCTION BY IRA BERLIN

Perhaps the best written of all the slave narratives, Twelve Years a Slave recounts how Solomon Northup, born a free man in New York, was lured to Washington, D.C., in 1841 with the promise of fast money, then drugged and beaten and sold into slavery.“A moving, vital testament to one of slavery’s ‘many thousands gone’ who retained his humanity in the bowels of degradation. It is also a chilling insight into the ‘peculiar institution.’”—The Saturday Review

JOHN THOMPSONThe Life of John Thompson, a Fugitive SlaveContaining His History of 25 Years in Bondage, and His Providential EscapeEDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY WILLIAM L. ANDREWS

Originally published in 1856, The Life of John Thompson, a Fugitive Slave chronicles his enslavement, his escape, and his life in the North, where he lived as a free man until fear of recapture drove him to flee once again—this time to sea aboard a whaling vessel. The only fugitive slave narrator to report a whaling voyage, Thompson crafted from his seafaring experience an allegorical sermon that caps his life and renders it a kind of African American Pilgrim’s Progress, as well as a narrative of struggle with, escape from, and triumph over American slavery.

STEVE STOUTEThe Tanning of AmericaHow Hip-Hop Created a Culture That Rewrote the Rules of the New Economy

The business marketing genius at the forefront of today’s entertainment marketing revo-lution helps corporate America get hip to today’s new consumer—the tan generation. Exploring how the “tanning” phenomenon raised a generation of black, Hispanic, white, and Asian consumers who have the same “mental complexion” based on shared experi-ences and values, Stoute argues that there is a language gap that must be bridged in order to engage the most powerful market force in the history of commerce.

TANNER COLBYSome of My Best Friends Are BlackThe Strange Story of Integration in America

Tanner Colby chronicles America’s troubling relationship with race through four inter-related stories. Writing with a reporter’s nose and a stylist’s flair, Colby uncovers the deep emotional fault lines set trembling by race and takes an unflinching look at an America still struggling to reach the mountaintop.“The sections of Colby’s book examining Alabama schools, Louisiana churches and Madison Avenue employment are all worth reading. But no reader should enter those sections expecting optimism from the author about sincere racial integration occurring soon, if ever....His research, both historical and contemporary, is impres-sive.”—Kansas City Star

JOHN THOMPSONThe Life of John Thompson, a Fugitive SlaveContaining His History of 25 Years in Bondage, and His Providential EscapeEDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY WILLIAM L. ANDREWS

Originally published in 1856, The Life of John Thompson, a Fugitive Slave chronicles his enslavement, his escape, and his life in the North, where he lived as a free man until fear of recapture drove him to flee once again—this time to sea aboard a whaling vessel. The only fugitive slave narrator to report a whaling voyage, Thompson crafted from his seafaring experience an allegorical sermon that caps his life and renders it a kind of African American Pilgrim’s Progress, as well as a narrative of struggle with, escape from, and triumph over American slavery.

STEVE STOUTEThe Tanning of AmericaHow Hip-Hop Created a Culture That Rewrote the Rules of the New Economy

The business marketing genius at the forefront of today’s entertainment marketing revo-lution helps corporate America get hip to today’s new consumer—the tan generation. Exploring how the “tanning” phenomenon raised a generation of black, Hispanic, white, and Asian consumers who have the same “mental complexion” based on shared experi-ences and values, Stoute argues that there is a language gap that must be bridged in order to engage the most powerful market force in the history of commerce.

SOLOMON NORTHUPTwelve Years a SlaveINTRODUCTION BY IRA BERLIN

Perhaps the best written of all the slave narratives, Twelve Years a Slave recounts how Solomon Northup, born a free man in New York, was lured to Washington, D.C., in 1841 with the promise of fast money, then drugged and beaten and sold into slavery.“A moving, vital testament to one of slavery’s ‘many thousands gone’ who retained his humanity in the bowels of degradation. It is also a chilling insight into the ‘peculiar institution.’”—The Saturday Review
