Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
When Snr Sgt Alan Barkley kissed his wife goodbye and headed to work, he did not expect flooded inlets, a dead body and two serial killers to land on his plate. Nor did his constables expect an increase of outrageous events to occur while on routine inspections and visits. Margot Jensen and best friend, Jessica Raynor, were excited about a road trip and the prospect of getting a puppy. Neither aware of what bizarre events awaited them. Abigail Christianson still reeled over last night’s news, concerning her fiancé’s killer. Her psychic neighbour, Trina McAvoy had picked up on some disturbing energy while her husband, Simon prepared for their guests. Nurse Sally was anxious to get home after a perplexing double shift. Phoebe Lattross sat at home, awaiting her ride. She is the only one aware of what lies ahead. Can she bring her lost family together, convince them of who they really are and ready them for this seething darkness, a malevolence so evil, it will take all their combined strength if they wish to defeat it? This is the cold heart of winter, and this is the battle that must be fought. Can our warriors find the strength to defeat this ancient wrong? Or will their souls be lost forever?

The Separate City
Author: Christopher Silver
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813185564
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
A ground-breaking collaborative study merging perspectives from history, political science, and urban planning, The Separate City is a trenchant analysis of the development of the African-American community in the urban South. While similar in some respects to the racially defined ghettos of the North, the districts in which southern blacks lived from the pre-World War II era to the mid-1960s differed markedly from those of their northern counterparts. The African- American community in the South was (and to some extent still is) a physically expansive, distinct, and socially heterogeneous zone within the larger metropolis. It found itself functioning both politically and economically as a "separate city"—a city set apart from its predominantly white counterpart. Within the separate city itself, internal conflicts reflected a structural divide between an empowered black middle class and a larger group comprising the working class and the disadvantaged. Even with these conflicts, the South's new black leadership gained political control in many cities, but it could not overcome the economic forces shaping the metropolis. The persistence of a separate city admitted to the profound ineffectiveness of decades of struggle to eliminate the racial barriers with which southern urban leaders—indeed all urban America—continue to grapple today.

The Most Segregated City in America"
Author: Charles E. Connerly
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813935385
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
One of Planetizen’s Top Ten Books of 2006 "But for Birmingham," Fred Shuttleworth recalled President John F. Kennedy saying in June 1963 when he invited black leaders to meet with him, "we would not be here today." Birmingham is well known for its civil rights history, particularly for the violent white-on-black bombings that occurred there in the 1960s, resulting in the city’s nickname "Bombingham." What is less well known about Birmingham’s racial history, however, is the extent to which early city planning decisions influenced and prompted the city’s civil rights protests. The first book-length work to analyze this connection, "The Most Segregated City in America": City Planning and Civil Rights in Birmingham, 1920–1980 uncovers the impact of Birmingham’s urban planning decisions on its black communities and reveals how these decisions led directly to the civil rights movement. Spanning over sixty years, Charles E. Connerly’s study begins in the 1920s, when Birmingham used urban planning as an excuse to implement racial zoning laws, pointedly sidestepping the 1917 U.S. Supreme Court Buchanan v. Warley decision that had struck down racial zoning. The result of this obstruction was the South’s longest-standing racial zoning law, which lasted from 1926 to 1951, when it was redeclared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Despite the fact that African Americans constituted at least 38 percent of Birmingham’s residents, they faced drastic limitations to their freedom to choose where to live. When in the1940s they rebelled by attempting to purchase homes in off-limit areas, their efforts were labeled as a challenge to city planning, resulting in government and court interventions that became violent. More than fifty bombings ensued between 1947 and 1966, becoming nationally publicized only in 1963, when four black girls were killed in the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. Connerly effectively uses Birmingham’s history as an example to argue the importance of recognizing the link that exists between city planning and civil rights. His demonstration of how Birmingham’s race-based planning legacy led to the confrontations that culminated in the city’s struggle for civil rights provides a fresh lens on the history and future of urban planning, and its relation to race.
