But when the monarchy and military unite to keep control of Orïsha, Zélie must fight to secure Amari's right to the throne and protect the new maji from the monarchy's wrath.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
GOLD MEDALIST OF FOREWORD REVIEWS' 2015 INDIEFAB AWARDS IN WOMEN'S STUDIES What's wrong with black women? Not a damned thing! The Sisters Are Alright exposes anti–black-woman propaganda and shows how real black women are pushing back against distorted cartoon versions of themselves. When African women arrived on American shores, the three-headed hydra—servile Mammy, angry Sapphire, and lascivious Jezebel—followed close behind. In the '60s, the Matriarch, the willfully unmarried baby machine leeching off the state, joined them. These stereotypes persist to this day through newspaper headlines, Sunday sermons, social media memes, cable punditry, government policies, and hit song lyrics. Emancipation may have happened more than 150 years ago, but America still won't let a sister be free from this coven of caricatures. Tamara Winfrey Harris delves into marriage, motherhood, health, sexuality, beauty, and more, taking sharp aim at pervasive stereotypes about black women. She counters warped prejudices with the straight-up truth about being a black woman in America. “We have facets like diamonds,” she writes. “The trouble is the people who refuse to see us sparkling.”

The Prince and the Delida The Prince and the Peasant
Author: Meowstopheles
Publisher: Fulton Books, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 723
Book Description
In a mystical world still recovering from a great war, where generations of countless species suffered, a very pretty, albeit apathetic, child prince is haunted by a malicious shadow monster and unable to connect with those around him. As the young prince slowly grows, his eccentric father, the immature king, devises a plan to get his son a friend, and a local festival competition lands a peasant boy the grand prize of the prince himself. The peasant boy, Rar, has struggles of his own, being only half human in a society of humans. While being constantly surrounded by those who hate him for being a delida halfling, Rar is shocked, disappointed, and angry when he finds out that his "marvelous prize" is the prince. Rar's worries of being the prince's pet quickly fade after he discovers that the cold-seeming prince cares a lot more than he seems, and the two quickly become best friends. Prince Lucius and Rar have lots of fun together, even with the Shadow Monster clinging to the prince, and a mysterious Dark Figure following the two around. The Dark Figure appears everywhere and, although more often than not is unseen and unheard by the two boys, seems to have more than a hand involved with the world around them. After a massive festering flesh monster attacks, Rar starts to accept the fact that even though Prince Lucius is a boy, he still has feelings for him. But how do you tell your best friend you like them? Especially when everyone knows that princes like princesses, not peasant boys? Then two princes from a neighboring kingdom visit Prince Lucius; is Rar being replaced? With social structures, judgmental jesters, worried mothers, and an endlessly disappearing-reappearing Dark Figure, will the two friends manage to stay friends or possibly even find love within their friendship, or will the two end up meeting a fate far worse than death?
